This is After Prior Bad Acts :
Benny Colon opened the door to his apartment and then reset his alarm after he walked inside. The jacket to his suit went on one end of his long but well loved couch. He had bought it when he had gotten his job at the DA's office and the caramel brown couch had stayed with him. He pulled off his tie and then unbuttoned his shirt collar at the top and headed to the shower. He had eaten leftover salad at TAC and a reheated slice of garlic bread from pizza and pasta night the previous day. He pulled the white t shirt off that he had under his dress shirt and laid it on the bed with some sweats that he was lazy in around the house . Then he pulled off boxers that were a gift from Cable for his birthday and smiled . R2-D2. He missed her . He went into he shower with a pewter gray towel and his robe that had Objection on the back. Izzy thought it was funny when she bought it for him one Christmas .
He turned on the water and for a moment was glad he had gotten jets in here when his bathroom had been renovated by the townhouse owner . He treated himself once in a while just like with his Bvlgari shower gel and soap. He washed his body and then stuck his head under the spray with some shampoo to wash his hair.
After a few moments he was finished and dried off. He walked out of the bathroom and got redressed.
Then he went into his kitchen and opened the cabinet above the sink. His bottle of Jack Daniels from his parents when he passed the bar. Seemed like the time to open it finally and so he did . He poured some into a tumbler and took a slow swallow . Tears filled his eyes and he said " Gentleman Jack."
Then he heard the sound of his door buzzer. He answered " Yeah."
" Benny it's me ." He blinked for a moment surprised to hear her voice. " Come in Doc." He clicked the door open and in walked Anna Rossi who had been the cardiac surgeon who had operated on Bull after his heart attack. She was brunette and curvy for being Italian and Cuban and had amazing green eyes. She was also a hair taller than Benny in heels which she didn't wear often.
" I wanted to be here . I didn't like how we left things."
" You asked for some space so I gave it . That's what a gentleman does at least according to my mama."
" I know but I haven't been able to get you out of my head and then I heard about your father."
" I'm still working on that . It was a hell of a week and I'm exhausted."
" Well then come with me and we'll snuggle on the couch until you want to go to bed."
" Thank you." He kissed her lips. " By the way thank you for those jeans . You know I love you in them. "
" You're welcome and those sweats do some really good things for you too."
" You flatter my ego." Benny's face flushed a little.
