AN: Don't own. Im just borrowing. I could legitimately write these two forever.
It felt good to be home. Three months didn't seem that long in the grand scheme of things but it had felt like an eternity. Leaving Bravo had been much harder than she had thought it would be. She had spent so much of her career working with the team that it felt like leaving her family. She had talked to the guys here and there while she was off at OCS, but with them on the other side of the world and her busting her ass to prove that she had made the right decision it had been hard. Sonny had made an effort to try and make some kind of contact with her as often as missions allowed, but she missed seeing them every day.
She dropped her duffle bag at the foot of her bed. She was exhausted from the day of travel and could really use a drink, but she was happy to be home and home to stay, at least for a while. Her new assignment was local, same base, new job, and this time she'd be entering that base as an officer. She was so excited, though a little nervous, to be starting this new chapter. She took a quick shower, grabbed her keys and phone and headed to the bar.
This place had truly never changed in the decade or so she has been coming here. Same dim lighting, same stale beer smell. She hadn't realized just how much she actually loved this place until now. She walked up to the bar and ordered a beer. She wasn't planning to stay very long, she was tired, it had been a very long day and she was really looking forward to sleeping in her own bed. She didn't report for duty until next week, the guys were still overseas, so she was just planning to take the time to settle back in and get some real sleep. She took a sip of her beer.
"Howdy" A familiar voice drawled beside her.
"Sonny? I thought you guys were still overseas." She smiled at him. She'd missed him while she was away. They had still been trying to figure out all the logistics of what was happening between them when she had headed out to OCS and he'd been deployed to the Philippines with the team.
"You can thank Justin Bieber over there for that. He may have broken a couple ribs so we came home early." Sonny shrugged pointing over at the table where the rest of the guys were sitting.
"I'm not even going to ask." She smiled and took another sip of beer. Sonny was staring intently at her. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"Come're" he whispered taking a step closer to her, leaning down slightly. She turned toward him.
"Sonny. What are you doing?" She glanced over at where the rest of the guys were sitting. "The guys can see us."
"Are you ashamed of me Davis?" He said with a teasing smirk.
"Sonny..."
"We aren't in the same unit anymore. The UCMJ isn't an issue." He said.
"Are you sure you're ready for everyone to know? You know the guys are never going to let you hear the end of it. And they're probably going to have a million questions..." Sonny could see her mind spinning at a thousand miles a second.
"It has been three months since I've seen the woman that I love. I'm not about to let a bunch of chuckle headed squids stop me from kissing her." He studied her for a brief moment. "Unless she has a problem with that?" Lisa's head snapped up, her dark eyes meeting his light ones. She was speechless. "What? What'd I-" he was cut off by her lips coming to meet his in a soft but passionate kiss. After several seconds the pair broke apart.
"The woman you love huh?" Sonny rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Uh, yeah. That just kinda slipped out there didn't it?" She laughed, a hand resting on his chest.
"I love you too Cowboy." She said softly and he smiled, kissing her softly once more.
"Come on and join us. I'm sure the guys want to say hi. Time to face the music." His hand came to rest on her lower back as they made their way over to join the guys, and were greeted by a series of cat calls and whistles.
