Characters are not mine and I am not making any money, they belong to J.E. However, when she's finished toying with them I'll be keeping Morelli though and I'm pretty sure RangerChic has dibs on Ranger.

Valentine's day great just what I need today to be reminded that I don't have any one and what was worse today is Wednesday at school and all the popular girls got flowers and teddy bears. It just sucks even my best friend got some from her boyfriend Lenny I did an eye role. Mary Lou came running to me to show me what she got from Lenny.
"Isn't this sooo cute Lenny got me a teddy bear that says I love you and I also got chocolates" she said.
"It's lovely Mary Lou" I said with my nicest voice and of course I was jealous so I did another eye role, but she saw me.
"Sorry, I know you don't have anything but you can share my chocolates" she said as she handed one to me.
"Thanks" I opened it and shoved it in my mouth.
"Come on we don't want to be late for class" Mary Lou said and dragged me to maths, I hate maths.
I got bored in maths quickly, I had started drawing on my pencil case, day dreaming when a ruler came smashing down on my desk.
"Fuck" I said, and jumped.
It was my teacher "what did you say Stephanie?"
"Nothing miss you just scared me" I said not looking at her
"I know what you said and you've got detention today Stephanie" she said looking down at me.
I kept my head down and could feel my face go red.
"Yyyy yes miss" I finally stammered out.
Then the bell went thank god, Mary Lou came over to me and was laughing and said "You're in trouble, You're in trouble"
"Shut up Mary Lou", I was pissed at her and feeling embarrassed as I have never been to detention.
"Where do I go for detention", I asked.
"The arts room"
"I have art for two periods so I'll just stay in side then"
"Do u want me to wait for u" Mary Lou asked,
"How long do I need to stay for?" I asked as I did not know,
"45 mins I can wait for you if you want" but she did not look happy
"No that's to long for you to wait, ill walk home and can you tell my mum when she calls to asked where I am….. say that I'm with you please, she will hate me if she finds out that I got detention and what I said and that I said it to the teacher" I begged
"Ok of course I will, you know I have your back with anything" Mary Lou hugged me that's why I love her.
"Lets eat I'm hungry" we walked in to the cafeteria and waited in line for our food.
"Joe Morelli is staring at you" Mary Lou whispered to me and I could feel my face starting blush
"Are you sure?........ Why would he be staring at me?" I said breathless, trying not to look in his direction.
"I don't know but he is and he looks hungry" Mary Lou said with a giggle,
"Shhhh, stop looking and I don't think he is looking at me, it must me someone else near us"
I grabbed my tray and ordered pizza
"How can you eat this and look so skinny" Mary Lou said to me
"It's in my geans"
Mary Lou giggled
"What?"
"Maybe that's why Joe Morelli is looking at you, because he wants to get in to your jeans" she said and we both giggled.
The only chairs that we found was one meter away from Joe and my heart was pounding again,
"Can I sit here" I said to Mary Lou pointing at the chair she just sat on and she looked up
"No and I know why you want to sit here so you can't see him staring at you"
"Fine" I dumped my tray on the table and sat down, as I did I could not help but look in his direction but he was not looking at me that's good I thought, but he had a smile on his face as he was eating his pizza. I took a bite of my pizza and closed my eyes
"Mmmmm" I said and took another bite and another bite and I moaned a bit because I love the taste of the pizza and the cheese and thought I hope I did that quietly, so I opened up my eyes and I was looking across from Mary Lou. Joe Morelli is looking at me with his mouth opened a bit and staring at me, shit did he hear me I thought, and I looked down and then to Mary Lou and she was looking at me
"What" I finished the slice of pizza
"Um Steph um you sounded and looked like you were having a orgasm" and she giggled,
"I was not, ………do you think anyone heard me? and you know that I love this pizza" and looked back to Joe's direction and he was smiling at me and winked, I blushed and took a sip of my drink.
"Joe Morelli just smiled and winked at me" I said quietly to Mary Lou and she quickly turned around and looked at Joe
"Don't" I said but it was too late she turned back
"He looks excited he defiantly heard you" and I blushed
The bell went, "I have art now and Morelli is in my class"
"Well you don't just have art together as he hast detention today and you know what he got detention after Lenny told him that you got detention, and I think he got in trouble to be with you"
"Go away so I can think before going to art class" and walked away.
I entered the art class room and he was not here so I quickly went to the chair near the window because this was as far away I can be from Morelli if he shows up, I got my book out and the teacher said we are doing free drawing you can paint, pencils etc, so I went over to the table with paint and grabbed stuff I was going to use and just as I was about to walk a way I dropped my paint brush and was about to pick it up when a hand beat me to it and I jerked back up, all I seen was dark hair and I did not see his eyes until he was and inch away from me. Chocolate eyes staring back at me and holding on to the paint brush, he opened his hand out for me to take the brush and I could not stop staring into his eyes, I touched his hand with mine and grabbed it from him and electricity ran through my body and I started to get worm So I quickly blurted out "Thank-you" and smiled
"Anytime Stephanie Plum" and he smiled and walked away.
Omg Morelli talked to me and he knew my name I can't wait till I tell Mary Lou.
I was painting a picture when I looked up and Morelli was looking at me and as soon as our eyes reached each other we both looked down again and I started to blush and went back to painting. The bell went but we continued to work as we had a double period in art, and I continued working and not daring to look up to see if Joe was still looking at me. A while later the bell rang and I got up to wash the paint off me and the cups, so I went to the sink taking my time thinking that this will take some time up out of detention, I washed up the cups and started washing my arms when out of the corner of my eye I seen Joe standing next to the sink and me with his elbow on the table just looking at me so I got a wash cloth and removed all the paint from my elbows when Joe grabbed the wash cloth and rinsed it and said to me
"You have missed some" he said
And I looked all over my arms and said "no I don't think so"
And looked at Joe and he just smiled and grabbed the wash cloth and moved it to my cheek
"here on you cheek" and wiped the paint off me and his fingers just brushed my lips and I felt my whole body tingle and Joe's eyes went dark then a soft chocolate colour and I could not breath,
"Everyone sit down" said the detention teacher,
I started to walk back to my chair when I noticed that Joe was following me and he took the chair next to where I was sitting and just smiled at me when I had a strange look on my face
"I always sit hear Stephanie so it is you who is sitting next to me" he had a smile on his face now,
I raised my eyebrow at him and said "I was not asking that"
And he looked into my eyes for what it felt like hours
"That is exactly what you were thinking, I can see it on your face" he said a little but smug
"So you think you know what I'm thinking",
"With you I need all the help I can get Stephanie, you never say what I expect you to, so I use your face to help me"
I frowned "what is my face an open book"
I said trying to understand what he was saying
"No" he said "only if you have been studding your face for a while can you then know the signs"
And he turned back to the teacher and I was quite for a bit thinking he just said that he has been watching my face and studding it. The next thing I knew the teacher said times up, so I packed up my stuff in my bag and was about to leave when it started to rain
"You've got to be fucking hiding me" I said a little too loud and I heard gasps and someone laughing and I turned and it was Joe.
"Miss Plum I can see that today's detention has not worked for you, you will need to turn up here tomorrow"
Great and I walked outside under the shelter and stopped now I have to walk in this rain, when I heard Joe standing next to me
"Is someone coming to pick you up?"
I turned to him "No, my mother would freak that I got detention" I don't know why I keep telling him the truth,
"Where does she think you are?"
"With Mary Lou at her house"
I started putting my jacket when Joe turned to me and said "do you want a ride home Steph" and he was smiling but his eyes were looking for any answer from me, I side
"I don't bite its just a ride home, come on its raining" he continued
I side again and said "oo ok just a ride home"
This got me a smile that melted my heart and we ran to his car getting soaking wet and my hair was completely wet I looked like a drowned rat, but Joe looked amazingly hot to me as he shook his head and the water was running down his face and turned to me and smiled
"Do you like what you see Steph?"
I was thinking hell yes but I said "no"
He looked at me and said "Liar"
And turned and started the car and put the heat on and we drove out of school, my house was just two blocks from his so he was not going out of his way but I said "thank for giving me a lift Joe"
"How thankful are you" he was smiling a wolf grin at me
"Never in a million years Morelli"
he looked at me "you can't lie to me Steph, I can see that you like me" and he started looking at my lips and moved down to my top and smiled and said "see" pointing at my top and you could see my nipples harden under his stair.
He then pulled his car over into a side street and was still looking at me, and my heart was beating so loudly I think he can here it.
"Show of Morelli,……….. what about you?" I said looking at him then down to his pants and he was hard, he leaned over to me and whispered in my ear
"I really like you Steph" and then he kissed my ear
"A lot" and he kissed my lips so softly and the kiss was amazing and just as I was liking the kiss he stopped and looked at me
"You have the most beautiful blue eyes, they fascinate me"
and kissed me aging and this time the kiss got more urgent and hot, he licked my bottom lip asking for entry and I mooned a little and opened my mouth and our lounges touched and I started getting hotter, and his hands were behind my back pushing me to him and my hands were on his face, he defiantly knew how to kiss. He moved one of his hands to my knee and slowly moved up my skirt and I could not think, move or breathe, and then he stopped and looked at me
"Are you OK" he looked worried and I nodded
"I think..... I want......" and then I kissed him back with all I had and pulled away form him
"I need to get back home, my parents will kill me if I am late"
Joe smiled and moved back in to his seat and started his car and pulled back out on the road. I though shit now he won't want anything to do with me again for turning him down but then he reached out and stroked my cheek
"it's ok Steph we don't have to do anything you don't want to do" he can really read my mind so I turned back to him
"No its not that I don't want to Joe, god I want to……. but not in a car and not a block from my parents house" I said and I was shocked by how honest I was with him
"See you don't say what I expect you to say, and I like that"
He pulled up two houses from my house
"So you don't have to explain to your parents why I dropped you off" and he bent his head to mine and kissed me softly on the lips
"See you tomorrow Steph"
"See you Joe" I said still foggy from the kiss and was about to leave
"Oh, I almost forgot to give this to you"
He handed me a piece of paper and he said "don't look at it till you are home"
And smiled at me as I put it in my bag and opened the door and ran home in the rain and looked back once I got to the front door and seen his car leave.
I oped the door and yelled "I'm home and I'm going to have a shower"
"Ok" my mother said
I ran up into my bedroom and shut the door and landed on my bed grabbing my bag and opening it to see what Joe had given me and I reached in and took the piece of paper and on the other side it said happy valentine's day Cupcake from Joe. My heart was pounding, it was a Valentine's Day present for me from Joe and I opened the paper up and it was a drawing from me. He sketched a picture of me and it looked soooo good. Now I understand what he said that he has studied my face and I collapsed on the bed.
I called Mary Lou and told her about what happened and all I got from her was OMG, OMG and screams and giggles, that's why she is my best friend she would never judge me.
"And as I was about to get out of his car he sad" (ive got something for you, but don't open it till you get home)
"What is it, come on what is it" she screamed in to the phone
"A drawing of me Mary Lou, he sketch a picture of me and it is very detailed" and I sighed
"OMG, he gave you a valentine's day card and spent time on it" she said
"Yeh it's beautiful"
"You know what, I over heard Terri and her friends say that Joe Morelli never gives anyone anything for Valentine's Day, but he did for you, he must really like you Steph"
"You think so,…………… hang on you said that all he wants is to get in my pants and now you say he really likes me" I said with a frown on my face
"I thought that at first but Steph he sketched you and he gave it to you as a valentine's day present and to top it all of he never gives anyone a present, so yes he likes you a lot and he wants to sleep with you"
"I kind of said that I wanted to sleep with him too but not in his car a block from my home" I sighed
"And you are telling me something I don't know, Steph you have been in love with him for ever and maybe you will finally get what you have been dreaming about" and we both giggled.
"I've got to go, mums calling me for dinner talk to you tomorrow Mary Lou"
"Sweet dreams Steph, we both know you will" she said and I sighed.
