Déjà vu
It's not the first time he wakes up from a deep slumber to the delicious smell of scrambled eggs; but the company is infinitely better than last time.
He doesn't open his eyes, basking in the sunlight that filters through the window of his motel room. A new day has begun, and all of a sudden it feels easier for him to leave his past behind.
"I know you're awake, sleepyhead."
Thank goodness she's not going to call him lover. Not that he expected her to.
He stifles a chuckle when he notices she's wearing his vest over her underwear. He's always suspected that she might have a thing for that particular item of his usual attire.
"I bet half the people in the CBI building could kill for enjoying such a view of tough-as-nails agent Lisbon."
She smirks as she joins him on the bed. "Don't you dare, Patrick. You wouldn't like ending up with a broken arm, believe me."
"Meh." He pulls her closer and tastes her lips once again. "You're not regretting this, are you?"
"I'd never made love while watching Animal Planet before. It's kind of interesting."
"Shut up, you little minx."
And they kiss again.
