A/N: Alright, Chapter One! I had this idea and thought it'd be a cool story, but I don't know if other people would be interested in it. If I decide to continue it'll be about 15 chapters-ish. Haha. So, read it and tell me if you like it!
Chapter One:
My Beautiful Partner
Eli's POV
"Congratulations!"
"Nice work, guys!"
These cheers erupted around us in our office, congratulating Clare and me on finally catching the arsonist we've been after for about a month.
"You're the MAN, Eli!" Adam yelled, and patted me on the back.
"I am," I agreed, smirking, "but I couldn't have done it without my lovely partner Clare," I said, gesturing to Clare, who smiled and blushed.
God, I loved that smile of hers. And that adorable blush. And her gorgeous baby blue eyes…
"Of course," Adam responded.
"Hey, how about we go to The Dot to celebrate?" Alli asked, and I rolled my eyes. That girl always had partying her mind. The Dot was her favorite place; it was a new club that opened a few blocks away.
"I've got a lot of work to do, Alli, but you can go if-" Clare started to say but Alli interrupted.
"Clare, you're going! Now, come on! Clock out so we can go to my apartment to get ready!"
Clare sighed. "Fine," she said and Alli squealed, earning another eye roll from me. "I guess I'll see you all later?" Clare asked.
The guys around the room nodded, saying they'd be there while I stayed quiet. I just wanted to see if she noticed, and to my satisfaction, she did.
"Eli, you comin'?" She asked, and I shrugged.
"Eh, why not. I have to do a bit of paperwork and I'll be there."
"Okay, cool!" She said, smiling. Alli dragged her out, ranting about something. I think I caught the words "mini-skirts" and "glitter".
"Dude. You know that's not allowed," Adam said to me suddenly.
"What's not allowed?" I asked, confused at his random outburst.
"You and Clare."
"What about me and Clare?" I asked, playing dumb. I knew exactly what he meant.
"C'mon, man. I can see the way you look at her. You practically undress her with your eyes. It's kinda weird," he said.
"I do not," I protested, even though it was true. "And there's nothing going on. We're just friends."
Adam snorted. "Riiight. Eli, anyone can see you're head over heels for her."
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever," I said, and he left. After a few hours of filing and preparing for a new case, I grabbed my jacket and headed to The Dot.
I was the first one there, so I grabbed a seat and the bar and sat down.
"I'll take a beer," I told Spinner when he approached me.
"Comin' right up!" He said and handed me one. I opened it and took a drink, turning in my chair after I heard Alli squeal. I swear, she is the loudest person I've ever met.
Alli was wearing a short pink dress, with, no joke, glitter in her hair. Oh my God.
Clare was next to her, looking…incredibly sexy. She was wearing an extremely short black dress, showing off her amazing legs. (DRESSES ON MY PROFILE)
I shook away very naughty thoughts involving the two of us in my bed with handcuffs as she caught my eye and smiled. They started heading toward me, Clare's hips swaying with every step.
This is going to be a long night, I thought to myself, and took another drink of my beer.
A/N: So. Is this worth continuing? Tell me in a review, please!
