Thank you to anyone who is reading this, it means a lot. I have had this wrote for a while but finally decided on posting it, if it is enjoyed I will continue it. Please leave me a review cause they really mean so much, it will focus on Smithy and Stevie but I might add so more pairings later on in the story so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know, thanks Jodie xx
Chapter One
As the six colleagues sat round the table, laughter erupting between them, the day of stress and dissapointment at work just seemed to fade away, they had all had a hard day, a rapist had walked free due to lack of eviedence, but all of the Sunhill officers had been in the job long enough to know no to get emotionaly involved. Smithy glanced between the few officers before his eyes rested on the empty seat next to him "Where'd Stevie go?" he asked, Mel and Kirsty were to wrapped up in the conversation they had been in for the last half hour to even notice his words, he watched as Callums gaze darted round the pub, "Dunno mate... she was here a second ago...". Smithy smiled slightly as he rose to his feet, Nate placed his beer to the table "You want a hand to look for her..." Smithy shook his head "No your fine.. I'll find.." he watched Jo rise to her feet "I'll check the womens for you". Callum smiled to Nate as the two officers walked off. "Stevie has taken today really hard.." he began taking a sip of his beer "Smithy is gunna have his work cut out.." Nate smiled "If anyone can put a smile back on her face eh mate.." The two burst into a fit of laughter, interupted only when Nate felt the smack to the back of his head "I will have you know PC Roberts I am young free and single... Smithy is just a friend..". She rested back down into her seat and smiled between the two men "Where is he anyway?". Callum smiled "Looking for you.. he was worried". She sighed slightly "I am fine... honestly... its not the first case to dissapoint... and besides the barmen has cheered me up no end.." she gestured to the tall dark haired man behind the bar, and the two men glanced over, he was good looking, athough neither man could miss the resemblance he held to Smithy, but he was twenty five at the most. "Bit young for ya Stevie..." Callum smiled at her "No... you are only as young as the one you feel.." she gigled to herself. She noticed Smithy sink back down next to her "I have been looking for you..". She nodded "They said... I am fine.." she lent over and placed a kiss to his cheek "Stop worrying about me Mr Smith".
The evening was coming to a end at a fast rate as the barmen informed them it was time to go, giving Stevie a cheeky wink as he headed back behind the bar. Once outside, the cold air hit them. Mel and kirsty huddled together as the group disscussed going to a club. Stevie wrapped herself into Smithys arms as Nate jumped from one foot to the other. "What about all going back to mine?" Callum suggested to the handfull of people, "Sounds like a plan" Nate smiled as he wrapped his arms round the two women who nodded along. Jo smiled "I am gunna give it a miss... Im on an early tomorrow and my boss is a right pain in the backside". She glanced accross to Smithy as he smirked at her, not many had the guts to tease him but Jo was one of the few who did and got away with it. She waved down a taxi and made her way towards it, shouting a goodbye to her colleagues who began the short walk to Callums flat.
The flat had a warm feel to it and Kirsty and Mel instantly sunk onto the sofa while Smithy rested into the armchair oppisite "Obviously it pays to be Sergeant..." Nate grinned gesturing to the huge TV hanging on the wall and the sound system next to it. "Obviously uniform get more than CID.." Stevie smirked sinking down onto Smithys lap. Smithy smiled "Thats because we actually do some work DS Moss..." he grinned as she slapped his arm "And besides I would pay to see you in a uniform.." Nate grinned as the two began to flirt between themselves. It was nothing unusual for the officers to see and as he sunk down onto the sofa between the two women he grinned "How have they not ended up in bed?". Kirsty smiled "They are cute together... its a shame they...". She was interupeted by the loud voice of Callum Stone entering the room "I have two beers and a bottle of vodka.." he smiled as he placed the bottles to the table. He rested down onto the table and glanced at Smithy and Stevie "Has she told you she pulled the barman..." he grinned at Smithy. "No" she cut in "He will only warn him off..". The room burst into a fit of laughter "You DS Moss are pushing your luck.." Smithy grinned at her.
A few hours had passed and the bottles now empty as the colleagues sat in a circle on the floor, "Are we not a bit old for this?" Smithy asked as Nate span the bottle. "Dont be such a stick in the mud Smithy... its a laugh" Stevie grinned from the oppisite side of the circle. Nate grinned as the bottle landed on Kirsty "Pucker up sweetheart..." he smiled as he lent to her and placed a soft kiss to her lips. Callum had kissed Mel, and Kirsty had kissed Nate once more when it came to Smithy, he sighed as he glanced round the circle "This all seems a bit young..." Callum laughed "Just shut up and spin the bottle.." Smithy sighed before spinning the bottle, watching as it passed Callum, Stevie, Nate, Mel before landing on Kirsty next to him, he lent in and placed a slow kiss gently to her lips. Stevie felt the jealousy pang in her chest straight away, it hurt, it physically hurt, but she didnt want Smithy, she had been down that road and they just werent interested in each other that way. She was so caught up in her thoughts, she had fallen into a trance which Callum shook her out as he grinned "come on... your go". She glanced around noticing Kirstys smirk and guessing she had kissed Callum too. Stevie took the bottle and began to spin it, hoping praying it would land on him, it had to land on him. It passed the circle so slowly, she watched as it eventually came to a stop and glanced up at the man staring at her intently. She couldnt help the butterflys that rose in her stomack, she had kissed him before when they were undercover, but this felt different she would be kissing Dale Smith rather than his alter ego Lawrence. She lent foward and the second his lips touched her she forced her hand to the back of his head holding him to her, fully aware their colleagues were watching, she nibbled gently at his lip until he gave in and alowed her to slip her tounge into his mouth, she felt sparks slip through her body as he slipped his hand to the bottom of her back, she was really starting to get into the kiss and she could feel he was too, this wasnt just a kiss, it was intense, she had never been kissed like this before when she felt the hand on her shoulder pulling them apart "Thats enough Stevie.. give some one else a go..." she smiled at Callum, cursing him in her head. The next hour or so drifted past and Stevie was in a trance, she couldnt get Dale Smith out of her mind, she didnt want a relationship with him, she knew that but she wanted him, and right now nothing felt more important.
The relief slowly drifted into work the next morning, each nursing their hangovers from the night before, Smithy smiled to Jo as she sat fresh faced on a table in the briefing room "Suffering Gov" she smirked. He glared at her "You can do the briefing today Sergeant Masters". He smiled as the relief began to pile in and feeling the hand on his back sighed as callum began to talk "Got over your game of tonsil hockey with DS Moss Gov". He smiled as the room laughed "Thank you for that Sergeant Stone but it was only a game". He noticed Jo's eyes on him as she began to inform the team of their jobs for the day. The tasks had been given and the officers began to drift from the office. Smithy smiled to Jo "It was a good night". She nodded as she ran her hand through her soft brown hair "Sounds it... you and Stevie?" she asked the true copper coming through. He sighed "It was a game.. spin the bottle..". Jo laughed and he smirked "What?". She shook her head as she began to back down the corridor "Nothing Gov.. I just thought you were all thirty odd... not thirteen..". He nodded "It werent my idea.. I'll be in my office if you need me... I got paperwork to catch up on..." she grinned "Or sleep" before disapearing round the end of the corridor.
Smithy rested down at his desk and smiled to himself, his office was cold but had a homely feel to it, he turned round and fiddled with his radiator, hearing his door shut behind him, he turned back to face the short blonde detective staring at him "Morning Inspector... how's the head?" her soft voice was low and he couldnt help but grin at her "All the better now DS Moss you hung over?" he asked. She shook her head slightly "I dont do hangovers Smithy... you should no that by now..". She moved over and rested into the chair oppistie him "What can I do for you anyway Moss... Im very busy". She grinned "You... busy?" he smirked "I cant get the heating to work..." she nodded "So you need warming up?". He smirked slightly "DS Moss... if you have nothing usefull to say..." she interupted "I am after a favour..." he nodded "What?". She grinned at him lent infront of her on his desk "Last night was fun..." he looked uneasy as she moved towards him "Yeah.. so whats the favour Moss?". She grinned "Come to mine tonight... we can talk then..". He smiled slightly "ok.. bout half eight?". She nodded before heading to the door, she turned back and flashed him a cheeky grin "By the way Inspector Smith... we are the talk of the station...".
