hey everyone. this is the same story (Mr. Monk and the one.) but it has some changes.

I don't own Monk. and trust me if i did Monk and Natalie would already be together.

PS. Thanks for the reviews on Mr. Monk and the one.

Chapter 1

Natalie awoke at 7:30. She hated getting up so early when she was younger, but she had gotten used to it over the past 3 years. She slowly rolled out of bed, showered, and called her Obsessive-Compulsive boss of the past 3 years, Adrian Monk.

"Mr. Monk, I'm on my way to pick you up." she told him, knowing that he probably got up around 5:30. She knew it took him about 2 hours to get dressed. She actually timed it once.

"Alright, but you know how I like you to be here earlier. It would just make the day better if you got here at 8:00 instead of 8:30." he went on but Natalie was ignoring him. She started making the blah, blah, blah sign with her hands.

"Ok Mr. Monk we can talk about this when I get to your place."

When Natalie arrived at Monk's apartment, she let herself in with a key he had given her a few weeks after she started, and found him sitting on his couch. This was kind of weird since he usually sat at the dinning table, or at his desk, or just running around the house cleaning. (Cleaning what was still a mystery since his house was spotless, literally.)

"Is there something wrong Mr. Monk?" She asked trying not to look confused. (it wasn't really working.)

"No." he answered with the same look of confusion. "I just wanted to tell you something I have been thinking about for a long time."

"What is it Mr. Monk? You can talk to me about anything, you know that." She told him with a reassuring smile, and he returned it. He loved it when she smiled. It reminded him of Trudy, his late wife. Of course he would never tell Natalie that.

"Well, Natalie, I have been thinking, and since the department is paying me more for the cases I solve, that it is time to raise your pay." When she finally reacted to the good news, he had turned to face her at the same time. She was going to kiss him on the cheek like she always does when she has great news like this, but this time it was on the lips.

Monk was shocked but he didn't stop, infact he intensified the kiss. He put a hand on her cheek and ran his fingers through her hair. Natalie was surprised but deep down she liked it, but she knew it had to stop, but she didn't want it to. The kiss was growing more passionate by the minute. They stopped when they heard Captain Stottlemeyer walk through the door.

"Monk, are you here, I saw Natalie's car outside?"

"Yes, we're in the living room." Natalie yelled to him as she wiped Monk's saliva from her lips. She was surprised that he wasn't asking for a wipe and he was too.

"Hey I have been trying to call you guys all morning what have you been doing?" Stottlemeyer asked them.

Monk and Natalie looked at each other and smiled like little school kids. They looked at Stottlemeyer and stopped smiling. "Nothing. We weren't doing anything." Monk said.

"Ok. Well you've caught one Monk because this case is so weird that I don't even think you can solve it. Oh what am I saying of course you can. Let's go." Stottlemeyer went outside and left Monk and Natalie alone in the living room. They looked at each other for a minute and then went outside.

"Are you two ok?" Lt. Disher asked them as they walked out the door.

"Yes why would you ask that?" Natalie asked him.

"Natalie I think we should go now." Monk told her.

"Yeah you're right." She said. She wanted to talk about what just happened. Of course she knew Monk wouldn't want to. He just wanted to leave to solve another mystery.
