Who knew that fruit was the way to my heart?
Not me, I thought no man would ever get a hold of me, have the shiny key buried deep in his palm, well until I met the one and only Charlie Crews.
(who is everything citrus and zen in the world)
"Detective Beckett."
Just like yesterday and everyday since he'd fallen into my life, finally someone who brings excitement and calm at the same time, he opened his palm and inside was yet another fruit that I couldn't name but would taste sweet on my tongue.
"It's a pomegranate, just cut it open and you'll find sweetness with every little seed. You'll like it, trust me."
He dropped the bright red strange thing into my open hands, ready to follow his words and enjoy what treasures he brought me this time, it was hard to hold myself back from ripping the thing apart and tasting those wonderful juices.
"Don't I always, Crews?"
"As much as you can, Beckett."
His hands moved swiftly as they cut open the fruit showing me everything that was hidden inside, something he had been trying to do with me from day one (and doing quite well), and popped a seed between my lips before his own found them.
"You were right it's the sweetish thing I've ever tasted."
This time I didn't push away this potential person I could find myself loving, and so it would be hard if I lost them which I'm not ready to let happen, instead I pulled him even closer.
"Just wait until I bring the clementines, their my favorites, you'll just love them, Kate."
