Chapter One:

Alexandra Moore was naturally beautiful, being a New York City Homicide Detective, Alex never really paid attention to her looks, she was what her father liked to call, 'a tomboy'. Although she had gained compliments from everyone she worked with, mostly people telling her that her beauty was being wasted at the NYPD, Alex had never really thought of herself as 'good looking', she was just Alexandra Moore, 27 years old, blue eyed and brown haired.

There was one person however who whenever they complimented Alex on something that she had done or on how she looked that day, Alex blushed every time, and that someone was fellow homicide detective Don Flack. Being a native New Yorker herself and working in the police force, Alex was always aware of Don, mainly because of the legacy that his father had left behind when he retired and the spotlight that surrounded Don because of it. But never did Alex think for a second that Don would pay any attention to her at all, and now they were dating, and had been for the past year. They had even moved in together much to the delight of their parents, who had become fast friends since Alex and Don introduced them to each other, a move that they both decided was a bad one.

It was a typical Monday, Don and Alex had woken up at a ridiculous hour, showered together, they justified it to themselves as 'saving water' but really it was just an excuse to be intimate. After that Alex would make the breakfast and Don would make the coffee, just in time for the both of them to catch a ride to work together and then catch a ride back when their shifts had finished.

Alex had been working a crime scene with Danny, it seemed like a pretty simple case, but things don't always pan out.

"Makes a surprise for you to be working Messer? Normally you're fawning all over Lindsay."

Danny span round in his seat, he was working on a piece of evidence in the lab when Alex walked in and leaning against the doorway of the lab cubicle. Danny scoffed and rolled his eyes and looked towards the printer as it printed out a suspect that had just been identified by AFIS.

Wheeling himself over to the printer, which gained small laughter from Alex, Danny grabbed the results, looked at them with a confused expression and handed them to Alex.

"Jason Smith, wow this guy likes spending time inside, attempted assault, assault, assault with a deadly weapon, this guys escalating…maybe he skipped a few assault charges and went straight to murder."

Danny nodded, packing away the evidence that he finished analysing, Danny looked towards Alex who was smiling stupidly at her cell phone, rolling his eyes, he knew what she was looking at.

"Another message from lover boy I take it?"

Alex looked up from her cell and gave him a look as if to 'shut up' but nodded. Alex re-read Don's message.

"Hey Alex, did you want to meet for lunch later, my treat? I love you xxx"

Alex ignored Danny's mickey taking and whilst she waiting for Danny to get his act together so that they could question their newest suspect.

"Hey yourself, lunch sounds good, 1.30pm okay with you? I can't get this mornings shower outta my head…can't wait for the second round : p, love you too xxx"

Alex smiled at her sultry text message, hopefully when Don read it there would be no-one looking over his shoulder. Putting her cell away she looked up at Danny who was grabbing his jacket.

"You ready?"

Danny smirked and nodded; there was nothing he liked more than questioning scumbag suspects.

"I'm driving."

Alex rolled her eyes and followed as Danny headed out of the lab cubicle and into the corridor, Alex handed him the case file that contained the information on the suspect they were heading out to interview.

Alex was sitting at her desk in the NYPD Homicide Department, staring at the computer screen in front of her, she sighed loudly just as Don made his way into the precinct. He smiled and headed over to Alex's desk, Alex didn't even notice Don was walking towards her desk until he perched himself on the edge of it. Looking up Alex smiled lovingly, and sat back in her desk chair.

"Looks like you've had a hard day?"

Alex sighed again and nodded.

"I have, we've been chasing our prime suspect all day, it's exhausting…especially seeing as we are no closer to finding the scumbag."

Don looked at Alex with concern.

"You've been tired and feeling rough for the past couple of days, you sure you're okay? Did you manage to grab anything to eat?"

Alex smiled lovingly. She loved the fact that he was concerned for her. Although she'd had lunch plans with Don, Alex had to cancel so that she and Danny could continue to hunt down their suspect.

"I'm fine, probably just stressed because of work, I'm more sorry about the fact I had to cancel lunch, I was really looking forward to it…"

Don smiled, although he was still concerned about Alex, if she said she was okay then he believed her. Standing up from her desk Don reached out his hand towards Alex.

"Come on, I'll drive you home."

Don smiled lovingly in Alex's direction, his cheeky yet charming smile. Alex nodded and accepted Don's hand, he pulled her out of the desk chair, Alex laughed, she shut down her computer and grabbed her things from her desk, she looked at the clock, it was almost eight in the evening and the only thing running through her mind was the prospect of cuddling up on the sofa with Don.
