Reunion

I will be continuing my other stories but I have writers block right now but I got a new idea. Hope you enjoy!

Saturday Night

"How's it coming in there?" Bobby had asked from the couch. He had just gotten the movie in and was waiting for Alex with the popcorn and drinks. That was what they did on a typical Saturday night if neither one of them had a date. Scratch that if Alex didn't have a date. Bobby rarely went out. He just couldn't find the right woman. He liked spending time with Alex and she did as well. She actually turned down dates just so they could hang out together after a long week of work. Even though they had been working together for seven year, they had just starting doing this ritual recently.

"It's just popcorn and beer. I got it under control."

A few minutes later she came back into the room with a bowel full of popcorn and two things of their favorite beer. They had so much in common and they would make the perfect couple but they just didn't see yet.

"Thank you ma'am." She gave him a look.

"Don't make me feel old." She took a swig of her beer and got comfortable under the blanket while her head rested against his shoulder. They were close enough in their relationship where they could do that and not feel weird about it. Bobby liked it a lot. He liked being able to smell her hair without her thinking he was weird.

"Do you mind if I get under the blanket?"

"No go right ahead. It's big enough for the both of us." He put his lower body under the blanket and was as close as he could to Alex. She was warm. As the movie was going on Alex started rubbing her feet against Bobby's feet. It was like she was playing footise with him and it was turning him on. He already faced the fact that he was falling in love with his partner but was scared to say anything. She could do so much better than him. Being this close to her right now was enough for him.

"Sorry my feet are cold." She went back to rubbing her feet against his.

"It's ok." He put his arm around her and missed the smirk that she had given him.

They were both enjoying the movie. It was a drama with a twist of course since Bobby picked it out. There weren't that many scenes where the actors kissed and if there was a sex scene it was nothing too intense. But seeing the actors close to each other was turning both of them on. Probably since they were so close together.

When the credits started rolling down, Bobby noticed that Alex wasn't moving from her place. When he turned his head to see her she was asleep. She looked so cute and it was the first time that he got to see her this peaceful. She was going to have a rough morning if she stayed that way so he picked her up and put her in bed. He would have loved to be the one that got to sleep with her but he wasn't going to press his luck.

"Good night Eames." He kissed her on the cheek after putting the covers over her.

When he got to the couch to pick up his keys he realized he had had a little too much to drink. They had had a little bit more beer after the first was done so he decided to sleep on the couch. He was sure that Alex wouldn't mind since he had done it before. Sleep on the couch that is. As he lay down he closed his eyes of the day that he would tell his partner that he loved her and in that dream she told him that she loved him too.

Monday Morning

"Morning detectives." Ross had said before he went into his office.

"Morning captain." They were too busy with paperwork to say much more.

"Don't you just love Mondays Eames?" She noticed that he didn't call her Alex. He does every time they hang out but never at work.

"You bet. Now I need to ask you a huge favor." He looked up to see her face.

"I'd do anything for you Eames."

"My high school reunion is coming up and I don't have a date so I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?" She didn't know why it was so hard to say that in front of him. It was just Bobby. But it really wasn't just Bobby anymore. She started having intense feelings for him. They got deeper after he found Joe's true killer and when he was gone for a few weeks. She had missed him so much. And last Saturday night she was trying to seduce him but he was so focused on the damn movie she didn't have a chance. She didn't know how he felt but she wanted to see.

"You want me to be your date?" The best thing had just happened to him. Eames had asked him on a date. Well not really a date but it was kind of like a date. She probably had plenty of people she could have asked but she asked him. That meant something to him.

"I would love to Eames."

"Ok great. Thank you so much. I owe you big time. It's in a few weeks. It's for a weekend at the four seasons."

"Wait what?" He was confused for a minute.

"Yea I went to a rich school."

"That's not what I mean. I meant we are going to share a hotel room together?" Her face dropped. Maybe he didn't want to be in the same room with her let alone the same bed.

"I mean you can get your own room if you want."

"That's not what I meant Eames. I was just wondering. If you are ok with it then we can share a room." She felt better at that point.

"Thanks I'll give you some more information about it a little later."

It was going to be a good weekend.
