The Mentalist:
Chapter 1.
Agent Grace Van Pelt walked out of the CBI building to her car on the east side of the parking lot. Her pulse started to quicken as it usually does when she and Wayne arrange secret meetings to see each other. She grabbed the keys out of her black leather purse, unlocked the car and got inside. The lot was vacant except for the new security guy Timmy. Seeing her, he waved and walked over.
"Hey Grace!" he said a little too enthusiastically. She rolled down the window and shifted in her seat.
"Oh, hey Timmy." She said.
Timmy stared intently at Grace admiring her long red hair that was flowing past her shoulders. He tried to give her his most charming smile, but what came of it were a set of yellowed uneven teeth. Seeing this, Grace slouched a bit in her seat trying to make herself invisible so she wouldn't have to deal with freaks staring at her. He started talking about the weather but Grace lost focus when she saw Wayne walk out of the building.
Ever since they had started secretly dating, Grace couldn't stop thinking about him. When she first joined CBI she knew he had a crush on her and she was attracted to him, but she knew a relationship between them would never happen. If someone caught them, one of them would be suspended and have to leave the unit. Grace being a junior agent, knew that if one of them would be kicked out, it would be her. She stared at him taking long strides towards her car. When he came up behind Timmy he tapped him on the back.
"Could you give me a moment with agent Van Pelt? I need to discuss with her an issue from a homicide case we are working on." He said staring him down.
Timmy cringed a little and nodded his head. He turned and ran across the lot, turning back to look at agent Rigsby with looks of fear.
"Hey" he said.
"Hey" Grace said back.
Wayne leaned forward to give her a kiss but she stopped him and pointed to the security cameras nailed to the lamp posts.
"Oh, right" he said looking sheepish.
"Get in your car and drive to your apartment and I'll park a few blocks away and I'll meet you there."
"You got it."
He turned around and walked to the other side of the parking lot were his car was parked. Grace started the car and let her mind wander as she followed Wayne through the city.
There was something that she wanted to ask him. Something big, that might take their relationship to the next level. She was up all last night debating if she should even invite him along. It was too scary to take the risk of rejection. She had never been quite good at handling it. But on the other side, there was a chance that he would say yes. Thinking this made Grace feel much happier and excited to ask him.
She finally arrived a block away from his apartment, and started the walk towards it. Whenever they did this (which was pretty often) Grace would always glance behind her back and look to the sides to see if anyone was watching her. She was sure that Jane or Lisben or Cho would pop at the next corner and ask her were she was going at such late at night, and near Rigsby's apartment. Wayne kept saying that he thinks Jane knows about their relationship, but she's sure he's paranoid. Even a guy like Jane can see that there is nothing between them at work. They hide it so well. They almost never talk to each other unless forced to about an investigation, and they always keep a safe distance from each other.
She finally reached Wayne's apartment, and started walking up the stairs to the third floor. When she reached door number 23 she raised her fist to knock on the door, but Wayne already came and opened it before she got the chance.
"Were you spying on me from the window?" She asked, pointing at the window that overlooked the street.
"No" he said, but blushed a deep crimson red.
"Well I think it's cute, you couldn't wait for me to come." She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
He smiled back and closed the door behind them. They were already kissing like to loved crazed teenagers. Wayne wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her so deeply she had to stop their embrace so she could breath. They made their way slowly to the bed, removing articles of clothes on the way. When they finally reached the bedroom they fell on the bed together in a big heap, and started laughing. Wayne wrapped his arms around her, and she around him, and they kissed until their lips were sore.
