I had to get this story out of my head, it's driving me crazy.

PS I need, some one who's really good at writing action sequences to be a beta, well I need a Beta in general, but I have this really cool idea and I feel, alone, I won't do it justice.

Trenton was hot. The understatement of the century, waking up to a sticky body while sleeping naked is an awful experience. Today was Monday the dreadful part of every week, and to make it even more dreadful it was only seven thirty in the morning. And as many people know I am not a morning person, so why do you ask, why was I up this early? Because, I smelled coffee, and due to my track record, I was hoping it was a good sign. Getting up I threw on last night's shirt and shorts, fixed my ponytail and slowly opened my door. Standing in my kitchen was none other, then Edward Cullen! Well if he was Cuban and sexy and well they basically have the god-likeness down.

Score! I thought to myself. Not only did I get coffee made for me but I got a very good view as well.

"Babe…"

"Out loud?" Ranger raised one eyebrow. I sighed and walked into my kitchen. Grabbing the cup of coffee off the counter I leaned next to Rex's cage, Ranger had given him a couple of blueberries. Taking a drink of the coffee I glanced at him, Painted on black tee, cargo pants, utility belt, boots, diamond studs and a glistening sheen of sweat, that made him look even more delectable.

"I'm not a delicate person Babe"

I just rolled my eyes "so what brings you here ranger? It's early… and I'm up so it better be good"

"Can't I just stop by to say hi?" I just stared at him. He set his bottle of water down and motioned for me to go to him. Leaning against him the temperature in the room skyrocketed but I didn't care, I loved being in his arms.

"I love you being in my arms…" He whispered. "Babe…" I looked up at him "I have to leave for a while." Pulling away I stared into his eyes.

"How long?"
"I don't know, could be two weeks or two months, it depends on how everything goes down."
"Can you tell me what continent?" He smirked and chuckled at me
"I can tell you that it's way hotter there then in Trenton"
"That doesn't really narrow it down Batman."
"Its all I can give you. My helicopter leaves in twenty minutes, I just wanted you to be the last thing on my mind." He gave a sad smile and kissed my forehead. Walking to the door I could feel a shift in the energy but I couldn't place it. "Babe"
"Yeah?"
"Don't get into trouble" I smiled.
"Don't get shot"
Ranger opened the door but stopped and turned to me, pulling me into him he held on tight mumbling Spanish in my ear, then before he pulled away he said something I thought I would never hear. "I love you Steph, with everything that I am, please be here when I get back" I looked into his eyes "I love you to Carlos, I'm not going anywhere." I could feel the relief wash over him he kissed me on the forehead and walked out the door.

That's the last time I saw him.
