A Rose has Thorns
Summary: Valentines Day, what usually happens then? In the Lives of Goren and Eames that is

Disclaimer: No not mine, they belong to Dick Wolf and all that.

Please R&R.

Author Notes: Hi! This fic may seem a bit rushed; because I was trying to get it done before Valentines Day (I'm not clear on exactly why, maybe I just got bored). Even though it? probably a little late getting published it will have to do.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this weird piece of I-dunno-what-ever-it-is. I wasn't? really sure what I was going to write, it just ended up this way.

Please Review!

She was sitting on her couch, reading a book, but found it difficult to concentrate, while her thoughts were wondering around her head.

If only she had the guts to ask him out.

Brrrriiiiiinnnnnnnng

The piercing ring of the phone in her ear interrupted her thoughts. She reached over to the table, which stood beside her and answered it.

"Eames here? "She said into the phone.

"Hey, it's me?" said the male caller from his end

"Bobby! Hi! Umm what can I do for you?" she asked him once she finally realized who she was talking too.

"Nothing, I just got bored and wanted someone to talk to." he justified to her.

Alex had no idea on what to say to this and as a result, an awkward silence hangs between them. Finally it was her who ended up breaking the thin ice.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" she asked him pointedly.
"I dunno? " Bobby said to her.

"Life?"

He sighed after saying this and Alex thought he sounded down in the dumps.

"Oh?" She replied. It probably wasn't the best answer but at that point in time it was the best she could do. Bobby sensed discomfort so he continued.

"Actually, you know how tomorrow is Valentines Day?" he asked her.

"Nah, I forgot," she said sarcastically.

Choosing to ignore her sarcasm, he went on.

"Well I was going to ask if you were busy tomorrow or wanted to have a day off and if you were busy tomorrow night. I felt like having a day off, and I somehow convinced Deakins to let me have a break. He didn't say anything about you, but I assumed."

He didn't get to finish his sentence as his partner cut in and finished for him. ?

"You assumed! You always assume!" She heard Bobby sigh on his end. Great now he thinks I peeved at him so I better rectify this situation and quickly.

"Anyway keep going?"

"Have you finished now?" he asked. Taking her silence as a positive answer he continued.

"Great, now I've forgotten what I was going to say. Oh yeah that's right! Before you so RUDELY interrupted me?"

Alex made a face unseen by Bobby. " I assumed that you would be able to take the day too. Since you just can't live or work without me. Remember what happened that time I went to Canada, and how."

Once more Alex interrupted him.

"Oh Sor-ry!?" she said in a mixed tone. "But can live or work without you? What about the time I went to California? What happened then? Or had you so conveniently forgotten about that?"

Bobby groaned. For once his partner was right and he had to admit it to her, which he didn't like. ?

"All right, all right you've made your case and stop asking so many questions!" He pleaded with her.

"Speaking of questions this brings me back to, are you free tomorrow night??

"Sorry Bobby. Yeah I am free. And as for the separation statement," she said to him. "I guess we both can live, sleep or work with each other." Alex suddenly realized what she said. "Oops! I didn't mean it that way."

"Whatever," groaned Bobby. "So are you going to take the day off or what?

"Nah! I'd rather go to work, besides, I have a ton of paper work to be done. And who would I spend the day with, Jeannie and Major Nelson, come on?" She told him.

"Oh, ok." Was the disappointed reply she received form Goren3
Hope you liked that!
