AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is my first fanfic so bear with me if it's not too great. I'm looking for some people to help me proofread some of my later chapters so if you're interested PM me. I have no idea how long this will be but I hope that I'll stick with it.

Reviews make me feel all warm and squishy inside :]

A mess of blonde hair and black skin, our bodies pressed against each other. Me and my true love, finally having the moment I've waited for for so long, and it's so sweet.

I wake up.

I'm Alec Hardison, a hacker, and I am hopelessly in love with the blonde woman on our team. She is known only as Parker, and me nor anybody else knows almost anything about her childhood besides the fact that, like me, she was adopted.

Unlike me, though, her foster care experience was way less joyful. I met a great woman who brought me to be who I am today, besides the illegal hacker part though, and met a lot of great lifelong siblings who are also amazing friends. Parker, however, had some very traumatic experiences, and thats all anyone knows.

I get up to get some of the orange soda I'm unfortunately addicted to. Walking into the hallway, there's a small blonde thief sitting on my sofa and I flinch, causing her to look at me and smile.

"Dammit, Parker. What are you doing here? It's-" I looked at my watch and sighed "5 am."

"And?" She smiled. "I'm always awake at this time." I sighed. I wasn't going to win with her.

"Okay alright momma. So is there anything in particular you wanted from me or are you just here to scare the crap out of me?" She laughed lightly. It was the most beautiful sound I had heard in my life.

"No nothing, just wanted to see if you were awake."

"Well I am now." Again she laughed. I felt myself get hard under my boxers. I sat down and put a pillow on my lap trying to hide it. Luckily she didn't notice and I sighed silently.

"Well that's obvious." She giggled. "So every time we make out on a job you say you want to talk about it." She says in a very matter-of-fact way. I looked surprised.

"Yeah..." I said wondering where this was going.

"Well? What do you want to talk about? What -is- there to talk about?" She looked at me quizzically. I sighed. I should have known that she wouldn't know what I'm talking about.

"Well..." I didn't know how to start this. Every part of me was saying that I should tell her what I feel and how long I've been feeling it but I know that if I rush her all that will accomplish is her building up her walls that I've worked so hard to tear down, brick by brick, which still aren't completely down but they're inching closer every time I hang out with her. Nobody in our team notices because of how slow its going but I notice. "When we kiss on a job, I know it's just for the job but..." I sigh "Ugh... How do I say this... Parker, you are one of the most important people in my life." She smiled but at the same tensed almost microscopicably, a movement so small that only a few people in her life could recognize it.

"Of course, silly. Me and the team."

"No Parker. I love the team and they mean everything to me, but you mean more." I said, staring at my shoes. She freezes slightly, still casual but if I make one move across her line, she will be gone.

"I can't mean more than everything. Theres nothing more than everything." She said, trying for light humor in this situation.

"Parker, when we kiss, I feel sparks," being blunt, slightly regretting it but realizing that theres no going back I thought. "and I wanted to know if you-" she cut me off.

"I, uh, have to, uh, go." She says quickly as shes already sprinting away. I beat her to the door before realizing that she was at the window. I started to run a couple feet before I realized that there was no chance to catch her. She was gone. I screwed up.

There's a chance she'll never come back.

I crossed the line.

A/N Hey guys, me here. I just wanted to say that I'm not the best writer but I came up with this idea so I wanted to try it out. I'll be continuing it but also School is starting soon and I'm just starting high school so at around August 25th, I'm probably going to be barely updating because I don't have an iPhone (YET!) and I can't get one until the end of November. I'll try not to make the story progress so much so fast but as I said, I'm not the best writer so no promises.

Review review review! :)

-Anna who will be very very happy if you review :)
