Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets

Rogers was covered only by the thin fabric of his boxers, when he felt the someone's weight on his chest. He looked at the brown locks tickling his bare chest, Roni was sleeping calmly, while her hand was laying on his stomach. He could get used to it, to the wild sex, the amazing sweet kisses and laying in the same bed as heard a little buzz in the pocket of his trousers that were now laying on the floor. Rogers couldn't resist and kissed Roni's forehead before he pushed her gently from his chest and later covered her tightly with a blanket.

"Rogers." he whispered, looking at Roni, "now? Can't it wait?" he hold his phone with his arm, wearing the trousers, "yes, I'll be there in ten minutes."

Rogers looked at the bed again, he didn't want to be the kind of guy who leave before the girl wakes up, but if he wasn't be at work in ten minutes his colleagues would kill him. It must have been a huge action if they brought him back at night. He looked around and found a little piece of paper, he wrote a couple of words and left it on the table. Rogers came back for a moment, just to tuck a straight lock behind her ear, he kissed her once again and left the room where only hours ago his heart beat faster in the rhythm of their kisses.

Roni slowly opened her eyes, she tried to get used to the morning sun that came through the curtains. She stretched her muscles before slowly turning around to see his face, they had had the most romantic, hot and passionate sex shehad ever had, but when she turned her face to the other side of the bed… Roni saw the empty space. She sat on the bed, still looking at the side of the bed where only hours ago Rogers and her had sex. For her it wasn't just random sex, it was more than that and waking up in an empty bed made her feel abandoned. Roni stood up to find her favorite t-shirt, she loved to wear it to sleep but she didn't need it that night, Rogers took care of her being warm, but now in the dark apartment lit only by some sunlight, she felt cold. After a second she was already dressed and had taken some steps to the kitchen. The flowers she had on her kitchen island were already dead, she grabbed and threw them into the bin. Roni put some water into the coffee machine and after a moment she felt the scent of the fresh liquid. She looked at the kitchen table, a white piece of paper was laying on the edge. The brunette took a few steps and looked at the clumsy writing.

"I'm so sorry I left you. They called from work and I didn't want to wake you up. I'll come to the bar as soon as I can and we talk about… everything. -Rogers"

Roni smiled a bit after reading those words. Maybe last night wasn't important just for her, maybe that empty place in her heart can be filled? She put the paper back in the place and went to the bathroom. She can't be late for work even if the sex she had the other night was one of the most amazing things and she can't stop smiling.

Rogers sat behind his desk about 20 hours after he and Roni had the most amazing sex in his life. He was mad at his supervisors for calling him at night, but after that action, they made streets a better place for all people out there. The only thing he wanted was a shower, some food and… Roni. He wanted to touch her again, kiss her and cuddle with her until they both went to sleep. He was smiling to himself when one of his mates came across the desk.

"Rogers! You're happy about the party already?" Matt asked, laughing.

"What party?" he answered awkwardly.

"The one the Captain wants to make for us. We did a great job yesterday and he wanted to thank us."

"I don't know if…"

"Don't whine, Rogers. We'll have some fun… food, drinks...we can take there ladies if we want to so maybe Eloise will go with you if you'll be polite enough." Matt winks at him.

"I would bring someone else…" he smiled.

"Well, well Rogers… I didn't know you are such a Casanova." he said, "I wanted to bring someone too. Maybe Roni? She's hot. Who knows how it may end." he laughed, leaving Roger's desk.

Rogers looked at his coworker leaving the room with the laugh on his lips. The things he said about Roni… made him mad with no reason. He knew Roni wasn't that kind of girl and she would never go out with such a moron as Matt, but … he was the one who left her in bed after… He put his elbows on the desk and massaged his head with his hands, he acted like a total idiot. Rogers was hoping that she'd at least let him explain… if it wasn't too late.

Roni waited for him almost the whole day, every ring by the door made her heart tremble, even though she tried to be imperturbable and badass like always. She looked at the table at the back, full of cops and detectives from Roger's precinct. Roni tried to focus on anything except thinking of him, she started working even harder than usual and after a few minutes she didn't pay attention to the door ring anymore. She was just about to take out some glasses at the back side when she saw Matt, Rogers' friend, sitting in the bar chair in front of her.

"Hi beautiful." he started.

"What can I get ya?" she asked without looking.

"Don't ask what you can do for me… just what I can do for you."

"Get to the point Matt. We don't have all day for you to build a sentence."

"Well, our force helped to protect the citizens yesterday… our Captain organizes a little party and I was wondering if you want to go with me."

"Isn't protecting people your normal job?" she asked.

"Yes, but it was a big action. There was plenty of cops and some of us were briought from our warm beds to serve and protect." he winked at her, "so what do you say? Will you go out with a hero on a date?"

"I…" she started.

Roni looked up, the door ringed louder, her eyes became brighter and she couldn't control her smile. He went to the bar, looked around and when their eyes met, he could tell her orbits lit the spark. He gave her small smile, but after second all the happiness vanished. Rogers' sight went to the guy sitting in front of Roni, Matt was already there and his 'magic' was on. He bragged about it every time he came to work in the same clothes as the day before. Matt was a moron, but somehow he transformed it on his side when he was near to the girls.

"I can't go with you, because I'm already going with someone else." Roni said loud enough for anyone to hear.

"How? I mean…"

"Sorry. Someone was faster than you it seems." she said, leaving the room with a tray of glasses in her hands.

Roni took a deep breath, she didn't know that her body could react that way, and they were just looking at each other. The brunette put the tray on the counter and took one more breath. She was ready to talk with him, after all she just invited herself at the police party with him by her side. The problem was he didn't invite her yet, but that was just a matter of time. Roni came out from the room and looked around the bar. It was just the same as she left, but she couldn't find the person she cared the most about. Rogers left. Roni turned around and after a second one a tear fell on the counter. She wiped another one and turned back to Matt.

"Rogers left?" she asked without emotions.

"Yeah, he said that he's tired. Like we all were on vacations here."

"I see." she answered.

Roni looked at the window, there wasn't any snow left from the other day. It melt by the night and she thought the same about her relationship with Rogers. Roni closed her eyes, but after a second she opened them widely.

"I deserve more than just a glance and whether he wants it or not… he'll hear what I think about making me a fragile lady." she whisper to herself.

Rogers was laying on his bed with his eyes tight closed, but even though he was exhausted, he couldn't sleep at all. His thoughts ran to the words he heard at the bar.

"I'm already going with someone else."

Those few words echoed in his head and wouldn't let him sleep. Who was the guy she was going with? Why did she slept with him if she had another guy, a cop, by her side? Why was he so upset if it was just one night?

All the questions he had were interrupted by the door bell. He stood up, trying to avoid his reflection in the mirror. Rogers opened the door slightly and look at the person on the other side. There she was, the reason of his sleepless nights was standing there looking beautiful with her jeans and black shirt. Her eyes were a little red, but he just focused on her rose lips and for a moment they were standing in front of each other.

"Can I come in or you want me to yell at you at the doorway?" she asked.

"Yell?" he asked confused.

"Yes. You left me in my own bed, left the bar without talking to me and now you don't want to invite me on that stupid party! I'm not a girl for one night Rogers! I care for you, I might have feelings for you and you are such a moron that you can't even invite me to the lame party! Are you ashamed of me? Ashamed that we slept together?" she blew up, trying not to cry.

"I left a card! I needed to go…"

"And later you ran!"

"You were telling Matt that you were going with someone else even before I invited you! What was I supposed to do!"

"I told him that because I didn't want go with him! I wanted to go with you! I even bought a dress for God sake!" she said, crying.

Rogers looked at her red face, now covered with tears, he didn't know why he yelled at her. She was right, he should have invited her first, especially after what they did last night. Roni sat on the couch, he took a few steps and sat next to her.

"You bought a dress?" he smirked.

"Don't push it Rogers!" she said with a little smile.

"I wanted to invite you, but I thought you were already taken… you said…"

"I said that because I thought I was with you, you moron!" she yelled through the tears.

"You.." he looked at her surprised, "I'm such a moron."

"Agreed!" she smiled.

Rogers pulled himself closer to her, she looked at him with the most brown eyes he had ever seen and even though her face was all read, Rogers touched it,but after a second he heard a giggle coming from her mouth. He looked down at her and saw a sweet smile on her face covered with salty tears.

"I'm trying to be romantic here"

"Sorry, but I just realized that you thought I would go there with Matt." she looked at his face.

Rogers looked at her concerned, after a second a small smile spread on his face. He held her tighter as she put her head on his chest.

"Ok it was funny but you were the one who told him you were going with someone"

After a second she touched his cheek, looking deep into his eyes, her soft touch made shivers run down his spine. She was the only woman who could do that to him. Her look, her touch and the way she bit her lip made him totally crazy about her.

Rogers turned to her and touched her cheek with his thumb, wiping her tears. He pulled himself closer to her and took her hand into his, after their lips collided he heard a soft moan escaping from her mouth. She cupped his face with her hands and without breaking the kiss her tongue entered into his mouth. They were kissing softly until both of them needed some air.

He pulled her closer to his chest, caressing her back and after a moment her head was laying on his chest. Rogers put a kiss on her forehead, breathing the sweet scent of her hair.

"Can you ask me now?" she said.

"Ask you what?"

"God, you're a good detective, but I have no idea how you got there...ask me on that party! I already bought the dress, remember?"

"Roni…" he started seriously, "it would be an honor if you went with me to the extremely boring cops' party."

"You see! It wasn't that hard." she said, laying her head on his chest.

"Will you tell me what dress did you bought?"

"No. It will be a suprise."

"Roni…"

"Yes?" she answered with her eyes closed.

"Will you stay here… for the whole night?"

"I think… I already am." she asked, pulling herself closer to his warm body.

Rogers was waiting in front of the building, he felt a bit uncomfortable wearing a suit, but captain said it wasn't random party with beer and chips, so everyone looked like they were famous stars on the red carpet. He was holding a tiny, red rose for Roni. She didn't want him to pick her up, it wasn't a date since they already slept together, she said, and he was aware of the fact that he will need to work harder than inviting her on a lame party.

"What's up Rogers? Are you waiting for the princess?" Matt laugh passing him by.

Rogers sight went straight to the car she was getting out of, she walked to him wearing the most beautiful dress he had ever seen, a short, shaped dress made of thin fabric and long lace sleeves ink-colored and matched heels. He looked at her and smiled.

"In fact, Matt, I'm waiting for a Queen. Not a princess." he answered, taking a few steps towards Roni.

They entered the big room full of balloons and decorations. Rogers grabbed Roni's hand as soon as they walked in. He knew that all of his coworkers would be looking just at her, she looked stunning and he was aware of it.

"Your captain is a very generous man I see." she whispered.

"I can't tell you the details, but the action was very important." he whispered back, "I'm starting to be jealous." he smiled.

"Jealous?" she asked surprised.

"Yes. Look! Every guy here is looking at my girlfriend."

"Wait! I'm your girlfriend now?" she smiled.

"If you want to of course."

"I'll think about it."

"Roni."

"Yes?"

"I'll kiss you now."

He surprised her by pulling her closer to his body. She felt shivers going beneath her body, she put her hands on his neck, caressing him gently when his lips crushed against hers. After a moment they both needed some air, but their bodies remained close.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

I have faith in what I see

Now I know I have met an angel in person

And she looks perfect

I don't deserve this

You look perfect tonight

"Will you dance with me?" he asked, still holding her.

"Remember how our last dance ended?" she whispered.

"Of course." he smirked, "but this time I won't go anywhere and, most important, I won't let you leave that easy."
