From the beginning part 2

Getting to know you more

"I wear a size 13…" Everything else seemed to fade away after she heard that. She knew he was a big man and she figured that he was pretty blessed in the pants as well. He had big hands and big feet to go along with it.

They had been working together for a few weeks now and she was even more attracted to him then she already was in the beginning.

She caught herself staring at his hands as they were doing paperwork; and his lips as he spoke to a suspect in interrogation. She got by with it hopefully. The one thing she noticed when they were with a suspect was that he was a genius when it came to making someone spill their guts. She admired and hated him for it.

After Talbot broke the glass and they cuffed him, Bobby went over to talk to Alex. He knew she was probably still mad at him for making her out as bait but hopefully after he cooked her dinner tonight she would forgive him.

"Are you still mad at me?" He had this puppy dog look on his face and smiled that boyish grin that he always had. A part of Alex wanted to forgive him for that and another part was still mad as hell.

"What do you think Goren?" She walked past him to go to her desk so that they could start on the paperwork.

"Alright I figured as much so how about I give you a proposition?" She sat down at her desk and crossed her legs along with her hands against her chest.

"I'm all ears." She sat back and waited for his so called proposition.

"How about if I make you dinner tonight you can stop giving me those looks that you give me?" He grinned again as he sat down at his desk.

"What looks are you talking about?"

"You look at me like you want to kill me and I don't blame you, but hey we caught him didn't we." She knew she couldn't stay mad at him forever.

"I guess you're right. You better be a good cook Goren."

"Oh believe me I am." He said cockily.

"I'll be the judge of that." Bobby could tell she had a joking tone about her statement. Over the past few weeks he got to know her a lot more. He loved her sense of humor since it was the complete opposite of his. For the first time he wasn't completely shy around a person or a woman for that matter. He didn't have really have problems when it came to women but when it came to beautiful women that he were interested in, he had issues. Alex was a different story.

"What cuisine do you want?"

"I'm a laid back kind of girl. I'm not that picky. You can pick anything you want but make sure you have plenty of booze."

"I'll be sure to Eames." She's like the perfect girl.

Bobby's apartment:

Bobby had spent hours perfecting his dinner. He had to make sure it was good enough for Eames to want to come back. In the only few months that he had been working with her, he had developed a little crush on her. Actually it was more than a little crush; it was full on obsession. He wanted to know everything about her and everything she did.

He enjoyed watching her as she worked and how she bit her lip when she was doing paperwork. He always wondered if she would bite his lips if they ever got the chance to kiss.

He heard the buzzer meaning the Eames was right on time. Whipping his hands on the dish rag, he turned the fire down before opening the door for her. He wanted to play with her first though.

"Who is it?" He pushed the button down and chuckled.

"Seriously Goren open up." He could tell she was a little ticked off from the tone in her voice. He probably would be too since it was about 20 degrees outside.

"Well I see you know my name but I'm not sure I know your name."

"If you don't open up the door I will go home and still be mad at you for setting me up as bait."

It was time to call it quits. "Oh Alex hi, I have been expecting you." He chuckled again before buzzing her in. A few minutes later he heard her knock at the door. He was in the kitchen finishing dinner.

"It's open." He then heard the door open and shut. He heard her come towards the kitchen as her heels clicked on the hardwood floor.

"Wow you can eat off this floor." She was half way in the kitchen as she leaned against the door frame. "It's smells really good." She was really shocked that his apartment was so clean since he was so dedicated to the job, but she was even more shocked that he could actually cook. It smelled divine and not what she was expecting. She was looking around to check and see if he had any take out containers but she didn't see any. His kitchen was just the same as his whole apartment; spotless.

He looked pretty good in jeans too she noticed. He looked good in his suits too but he looked really good in his jeans and polo shirt.

"You can take off everything and put it on the couch." He didn't realize what he had said until it came out and was too late. "I meant your coat and stuff."

"I figured as much, but hey if you want to see me take off everything all you gotta do is ask." She was only half joking which Goren didn't know. His eyes had gotten bigger though. He turned his head to get back to cooking. She didn't want to embarrass him anymore so she just went into the living room.

"Would you like something to drink Eames?" He called out from the kitchen as she turned on the TV and looked for the football game.

"A beer if you have it."

"What kind?"

"Any will do." He came out of the kitchen with a miller light with the cap off.

"Is this alright?" He handed it to her and sat down next to her.

"This is perfect. Thank you." She took a swig from her beer and focused on the game.

"You like football?" He was a little surprised.

"Yea I actually love it." She was exactly what he was expecting. He knew she was tough or so he had heard being a cop and all. But he wasn't expecting her to like beer and football. He was looking forward to learning a lot more things about her.
