History Repeating - Part I
This is my new one. It's the first part of a two parter. The CSINY characters including Gavin Moran, and that original storyline belong to CBS and not me. In early CSINY Gavin Moran is detailed as Flack's mentor as a rookie, someone he later has to arrest. I have used that and expanded upon it, that storyline is CBS work and not mine. Apart from the prologue, this is set around series 1-2. Please enjoy and leave a review on your way through!
Prologue
"You OK?" Officer Don Flack asked his mentor as they sat in the patrol car.
"Humph" Gavin Moran replied "Damned teenagers"
Flack laughed, at the grand old age of 21 he considered himself to have the best of both worlds, young enough to do it and old enough not to get caught.
"Lexi actin' out again?" Flack asked.
"Actin' out would be an improvement!" Moran grumbled "Now she's 17 she thinks she rules the world, an' everyone in it. Her and the wife spend half their time screamin' at each other"
"She drivin'?" Don asked.
Moran nodded "Not sure it was such a good idea, though she needs to drive for college next year"
"She'll calm down" Flack assured him.
Moran gave him a defeated look "I hope so. I tell you Donnie, stay single, don't get yourself all caught up in marriage an' kids, they'll kill you if the job don't manage it first"
Flack laughed again "No worries on that score"
…...
"Hey Donnie" Flack looked up from the Moran's sofa to see their eldest daughter Alexandra breeze in. He sat a little straighter and smiled at her.
"How ya doin' there Lexi?" he asked warmly "How's college?"
She perched on the edge of the nearest chair, peeling the label from an apple "It's OK" she shrugged "Good to be home though"
"I bet" he nodded, he turned his attention back to the game, with difficulty.
He suddenly realised that while she'd always been pretty, to him, she had been a kid. Now she'd grown up over the year or so he hadn't seen her, and she was a typical 19 year old, all lip gloss and attitude, and attractive.
And out of bounds.
Although at 23 he wasn't that much older than her, he had far too much respect for his sergeant to even try. He dismissed the thought immediately and went back to the game.
"Sit in the chair properly" her mother scolded as she came through with more beer and some chips in a dish "Or stop bothering the guys while they watch the game and go do something useful"
"Thanks honey" Gavin smiled at her "She's OK"
His wife gave him a dark look as she left, glaring at Lexi as she slid into the chair, her legs over the arm and looked at the TV screen.
Don stifled the smile at her insolence and picked up some chips.
"When do you go back?" he asked conversationally.
"All summer off" she grinned "Then back to the grind"
"Shoulda gone to the academy then" Gavin grinned at her.
She screwed up her face and stood up "Rather fix people than shoot them"
"Go on" her father laughed "Go help your mother with dinner"
…...
"I mighta known" Flack looked down disapprovingly at the girl in front of him, having just broken up yet another teenage party.
"Oh great" Alexandra Moran rolled her eyes "OK, where's my dad? He's gonna kick my ass isn't he?"
Flack grinned "Not if I don't tell him"
"He's not here?" her eyes narrowed.
"No, I'm allowed out by myself an' everything now" he told her.
"Huh" she eyed him "Then can I go back...?I'm a college chick now, it's cool"
"No" he opened the back of the squad car "I'm takin' you home" he looked up sharply as some guys hanging around the door shouted over.
"Awww you goin' sexy Lexi?" one of them shouted "Flash us first!"
"Hey!" Flack shouted "Go home, now, before I arrest the lot of you! Damned punks!"
The gaggle of teenagers laughed and started to move off, feeling his glare as they did.
"Get in the car!" he snapped at her "Now! I can't believe you hang out with guys like that!"
"You know guys normally at least buy me a drink first" she leaned on the open car door, brazen "An' relax Donnie baby, they're jus' havin' a little fun"
"That's what worries me" he replied darkly "Jus' get in Lexi. You won't make it through med school carryin' on like this"
"Aw let me sit in the front" she wheedled "I'm a big girl now, had my first year away at college"
He ignored her as she winked at him, holding the door open.
"Get in" he ordered "The back"
"Why Donnie" she grinned at him "That's a bit fresh as, my mom would say"
"Don't make me arrest you in front of all your friends" he warned "Get in the car or I will, an' then I'll call your dad"
"You're no fun" she grumbled at him, giving her friends the thumbs down sign as she reluctantly did as she was told.
...
Pulling up outside the Moran family home, both noticed that the house was in darkness, her parents were out.
"You gonna tuck me in?" she teased as he let her out of the car "Mom an' dad must have gone out"
"I'm sure you're more than capable" he muttered.
She gave him a look, one he recognised well.
"Well a coffee then?" she offered.
"I'm on the clock" he replied.
"Even cops get a break" she answered.
He looked at his watch, and was surprised to hear himself agree. More surprised to hear himself call in to central and have himself signed off for an hour on his allowed meal break.
He watched her make him coffee, his conscience telling him this was wrong. Well, coffee with Gavin's daughter wasn't wrong, the thoughts running through his mind involving said daughter were though. He was startled from his guilty thoughts as she noticed a note pinned to the refrigerator, she read it.
"Won't be home until around one" Lexi sighed "I coulda stayed"
"Quit ya bellyachin'" he laughed, following her through to the lounge.
…...
"Whoh" Flack pulled away from Lexi and sat up "We can't do this"
"Why?" she looked at him with frustration, hair messed up and a dangerous and wanton look on her face "I want to, I'm old enough"
"You might be" he took a deep breath "But..."
"But what?" she pressed "Donnie, I want to, with you. I don't want anyone else to... do that"
He gave her a hard look "Are you still a virgin?" he demanded.
"Yes" her tone was defensive "What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing" he replied "Jus' thought with you bein' away at college and that you'd have, ya know"
"Screwed my way around?" she said, a note of anger to her tone "High opinion you have of me, thanks"
"I didn't mean that!" he snapped "I thought you'd have had a boyfriend, or dated or somethin'..."
"I have" she shrugged "But I want more for... well for the first time I do. I want it to be you"
"You're totally crazy" Flack told her as she sat in front of him crossed legged on the couch "You should be with guys your own age"
"And I will" she insisted "But...I'm ready, an' I don't want it to be just anyone"
"Your father would kill me" he huffed.
"So you've thought about it then?" she grinned.
"Of course I've thought about it" he replied haughtily, looking her up and down "I'm only human, and a minute ago I had your bra half off"
"So what's the problem?" she asked sweetly "I'm not asking for undying love, just one night"
"It's not that I don't want to" he sighed finally "Because believe me I really do want to, but it's not right. You're too young, I'm a cop, on the clock, your dad was my mentor, now my partner... Do I need to go on?"
"I'm nineteen" she reasoned "And you're only a few years older than me. And anyway, what we already done is enough to make him flip his lid if he was gonna"
"Don't" Flack groaned, remembering with equal lust and regret the make out session that had led to this conversation "I shouldn't have done that"
"Yes you should" she crawled closer "It was you mouthin' off about 'those damned punks' that got us here to start with, you remember?"
"I remember" he answered, trying not to look at her "They were bein' disgusting"
"So would you rather I went to one of them?" she pressed "Asked one of them to do what you won't?"
"Don't do that" he looked at her "Don't try and blackmail me"
"I'm not" she replied sweetly "I'm jus' tellin' it how it is"
"You'd really do that?" he asked "Just sleep with anyone to lose your virginity?"
"No" she looked down "Not just anyone. You, I trust you"
She brushed her lips over his gently "I know you won't hurt me"
"Damn it Lexi" he breathed "Don't do this to me"
"I don't want to push you into something you don't want to do" she pulled back slowly "But I just want you to know that I'm not trying to be a bitch here, it's genuine. I've known you a long time, and I know you'd be careful, I know you'd stop if I needed you to, but I don't think I'd need you to stop. And plus, you're hot"
"Lex..." he warned, he was close to giving in, he knew he was.
"I don't want to look back and regret the first time" she said in a small voice "With some kid who doesn't know what they're doing, someone who doesn't care about anything but gettin' their rocks off"
"Hey" he stroked her hair "You're gorgeous, an' some guy is gonna fall in love with you"
"Maybe one day" she shrugged "But I want some fun before all that happens"
She decided to go for broke "I want it to be you, you know I do, but if you won't or can't then I'm not gonna go out an' jump into bed with anyone"
"I know you won't" he sighed, sitting back as she leaned over him, gently kissing his neck "I want to, I truly want to"
"Then relax" she whispered "And stop stressing"
With a strangled groan he pushed himself up kissing her deeply.
"Oh God" he could feel her body trembling under him.
"You OK?" he whispered.
"Yes" she bit her lip, returning his direct gaze "Please..."
He realised that the trembling was from excitement, not just sexual, and not fear. She stood and held out her hand, against his better judgement he took it, and followed her upstairs.
…...
"If I'd known it was that good" she whispered "I'd have seduced you sooner"
He chuckled, laying flat on the bed and looking at her.
"All summer" he warned "All summer you're mine, until you go back to college"
She grinned "Really?" she said, her voice teasing as she leaned up and across him "What about the guys my own age?"
"Really" he told her, grabbing her hips and pulling her towards him "Mine"
"Hmmm" she teased him with her tongue along his lips "You sure about that?"
"You succeeded in getting what you want" he said "So now you have to deal with the consequences"
"You want more then?" she teased.
"You know I do" he growled.
"Well summer isn't that long" she moaned as his hands started to wander across her skin "You better get crackin'"
"Oh I am" he grinned, flipping them over "Like I said, you're mine this summer, but right now, I have to go"
"I know" she replied.
"I'm gonna call you tomorrow" he told her "An' show you how much better things are when you have all the time you need"
She giggled "I look forward to your call, Officer Flack"
…...
8 weeks later
"So where do they think you are now then?" Don grinned at Lexi as she came through the door.
"Friends" she grinned "I got plenty"
"All night?" he gave her a sideways look.
"Of course" she replied with a laugh "Beer?"
"No" he chuckled "You're under age"
"You're gonna have to make that up to me" she sidled up to him.
"Oh yeah" he remained passive, allowing her to make the first move as he always did "How?"
"Well" she pondered, moving away from him and to the refrigerator "I think you need to get some decent food an' somethin' other than water"
"I like water" he replied.
"Soda" she ordered "An' chips, an' sometin' to dip them in, an' a DVD, an' some sweets,"
"Rot your teeth" he teased.
She shrugged "But first" she grabbed the front of his shirt "You need to get naked"
"I'll get arrested myself if I go to the store naked" he raised an eyebrow.
"Comedian cop" she replied, pushing him gently backwards.
"You got me" he muttered against her lips as she closed in, guiding him towards the bedroom.
"Clothes. Off. Now" she said as they hit the bedroom "We only got tonight left. Mom wants me home tomorrow, for my last night"
"You insist" he replied, taking hold of her waist and pulling the shirt over her head.
…...
Don felt slightly sad as Lexi left him with a lingering kiss, and a smile. They'd had a great summer, spent a lot of time together and the sex had been, well the best he'd ever had. He felt slightly proprietary towards her, not wanting to think of her using her new found sexuality with someone else, but he knew she would, they hadn't been, and would never be, in that type of relationship.
He had feelings for her, but they extended to a fleeting sadness at the fact it was over and feeling slightly guilty at knowing his partners daughter a lot better than he should. He smiled at the memories, wishing her well and hoping she had enjoyed their time together as he had.
He was glad that it needed to end like this, that it ended well, with no arguments. They hadn't needed to wonder where they were going, they knew, and it had been wonderful.
He shook his head and stepped into the shower. He'd miss her, and he'd certainly miss the sex, but onwards and upwards, as his father would say.
