Writing this story for my good friend Bev, I'am traditionally a 'shipper' but am breaking the habit for this one story for Bluevelvet
This is for now keeping a T rating, but I can virtually guarantee that it will change in some chapters to an M rating. This Fic centers, around the time after Season 10 finished and involves Goren and Gyson. I hope you all enjoy the story and reviews are very welcome.
FIRES WITHIN
Chapter One
Finally-! He had finished the last of the paperwork. After he had gathered their files, he placed them on Hannah's desk.
Alex looked up at him when he returned to his desk.
" You sure don't look as though you are looking forward to your vacation Bobby."
Bobby sat heavily on his chair, truth was he didn't have a clue about what the hell he was going to do with himself for the next 2 weeks. Gyson was the one who recommended he took this break said it would do him good to relax and unwind. His anger management therapy with her was coming along well, and he was no longer frustrated by it.
She was going on vacation herself and that was why she recommended he took the time off. Alex had given him the number of a beach house she always rented on Fire Island and highly recommended it for him.
"Earth calling Bobby" Bobbies head shot up, he hadn't realized he had retreated into his head and that Alex was expecting an answer from him.
" I'm sure I will get the hang of it Eames's, is there a library on that Island?" He shot her one of his rare smiles.
All Alex could do was shaking her head and laugh. She was so glad to have gotten her partner back; Gyson had worked wonders with him.
"In two weeks I'm sure you will be a new man and your batteries will be totally re-charged, there are beautiful beaches and plenty of peace and quiet. I got to go, enjoy your-self Bobby I will see you in two weeks.
Bobby watched Alex put on her jacket and leave the squad room.
It took him 3 hours till he arrived at the beach house, it was already dark and Bobby was tired. After he carried his luggage inside, he went straight to bed and fell into a restless sleep.
He was amazed that he had slept 6 hours straight, and he had to admit it was wonderful to awaken to the sound of the surf breaking not more than 200 yards from the beach house. He jumped out of bed and went downstairs and switched on the coffee machine then grabbed fresh clothes out of his baggage he went and showered.
As he sat at the kitchen table and took a sip of his coffee his cell phone rang.
"Hey did you find the house?" After Bobby rolled his eyes at Alex's comment he went on to tell her that he was fine and that he had indeed found the beach house. She then told him where to find the local shops and worthwhile places on the island to visit. After he thanked her and reassured her for the third time that he was indeed fine he hung up. As the local store was just a short distance away he decided to walk there and get some needed groceries.
The weather had taken a turn for the worse as he returned to the beach house, so he decided to sit on the porch and watch nature unleash itself. He had picked up some leaflets from the store on activities on the island. After reading them and making plans on what to do over the next two weeks, he sat and watched the storm over the ocean.
Later that evening Bobby had decided that he didn't want to cook for him-self so he walked over to the local restaurant/bar and ordered the house specialty clam chowder. Just after he was served he noticed someone enter the restaurant, and was surprised to see that it was Dr. Paula Gyson.
As if she could feel him looking at her she turned and glanced over to him, he noticed how her eyes widened in surprise at seeing him there. After the initial surprise, she carefully approached his table. Bobby took his napkin and wiped his lips and then stood up as she reached his table.
"Dr. Gyson… uh , would you care to join me? "He walked around the table and pulled out a chair and helped her get seated, then returned and seated himself.
"Detective I must say this is a surprise, what brings you to Fire Island? To say she was shocked was an understatement, so she studied his face as he answered her.
Suddenly his hands became very interesting to look at and after a while, deep in thought he realized that she was still awaiting his answer.
"I uh … well I'm not one for vacations, so ...uh my partner Detective Eames ... well she recommended I rent this beach house she always stays at here. She said it was very relaxing here and would do me good so I took her advice and here I 'am." He finally lost interest in his hands and looked up into her face. He couldn't explain why he was so nervous and shy all of a sudden, after all, as his therapist she knew him very well. He knew that she was a beautiful woman, but here and now he finally really got to study her face and as his eyes locked with hers, he noticed that during the whole time she had been studying his reactions.
She had watched him the whole time all his little mannerisms , to which she was used to, then he had stopped staring at his expressive hands and looked up into her face and as his eyes locked with hers she noticed him tense visibly, and she could physically see the walls and barriers close down between them.
