This is my fourth Neric story that I've written. This has partial tags to my story Kiss the Girl II. But if you haven't read it, it won't really matter. Enjoy!
Nell walked into the OPS center the Monday after her and Eric's date. They had decided to see The Green Lantern. Hands down, they both loved the movie. Not only did she and Eric do dinner and a movie on Friday, but they had gone to get coffee together the next morning.
Eric was already in the OPS center as usual, waiting for Nell to walk in and for Hetty's call with a case. The blonde tech had his iPod buds in his ears, so he didn't hear Nell walk in. She tiptoed over to his desk, and wrapped her arms around his shoulders from behind. Eric was startled, but he relaxed when he felt Nell's soft kiss against his cheek. He pulled his earphones out. "Hey Rockstar."
Nell grinned and said angelically, "Hey Eric. What'cha doing?"
"Not much. Waiting for Hetty's call. And for my favorite girl to walk in a make my life better," Eric said, making Nell blush and blushing slightly himself.
Nell giggled and swiveled Eric's chair around towards her. "And what is so special about her…your special girl, I mean?" she asked innocently.
"Well she's cute. She's adorable. She's smart. She's fun. She's not afraid of a challenge. But there's one other thing about her. It's probably the best thing about her," Eric said with a huge grin on his face. He pulled Nell towards him so she was sitting on his lap with her back to his chest.
Nell giggled adorably. "And what is that, Mr. Beale?"
Eric wrapped his arms around Nell and whispered in her ear, "She's all mine."
"Oh really? And how do you know that?" she asked her boyfriend.
"Because of this," Eric said. He pulled out a long, thin, velvet box and held it in front of her. "Go ahead. Open it."
Nell's expression was priceless when she saw the necklace. It was a silver chain with a diamond encrusted, heart-shaped locket. When she opened the necklace, there was a picture of Eric inside."Eric! It's beautiful! I love it!"
"Really? Look on the back. I think you'll like it a little more."
She flipped the locket over and saw that is was engraved. "To my Rockstar, I love you. Yours Forever, Eric," she read aloud. "Oh, Eric! It's amazing! Thank you!"Nell exclaimed.
Eric stood Nell up and whipped her around to face him.
"Eric. What are you doing?" Nell asked innocently.
"This." Eric kissed Nell right there. He didn't hesitate at all, and just let her melt into his arms. When he pulled away, Eric stared into Nell's eyes and took a deep breath. "Nell, I love you. I really do."
"I love you too, Eric. I promise."
"Really? You do?" he asked nervously.
"Yeah. Of course I do...How about we go out tonight? For dinner?" she suggested.
"I think I could do that," Eric said, beaming at Nell.
Nell kissed Eric again.
Hetty walked in on the two techs. "Mr. Beale..." she began, but her voice trailed off. The small woman saw the two techs sharing their moment and backed out silently. But she knew that she would confront them about it later.
