*A continuation as I now have found my muse… I shall continue… To Katie! Love you! Read and Review!

*Nicole*

She was just about to hang up when the voice of an angel came from the other end. "Rossi."


Shit. She thought. Wasn't expecting him to actually answer. "Hi Dave." She took a deep breath. "It's Katie… from the book signing."

"I was wondering when you were going to call." She could almost see the smile on his face, because she could hear it in his voice.

"Yeah. I just got in from work."

"I see. Well, how was it?"

"Do you really want to know?" She wasn't sure where this was going but she would go along with it. God the man was her hero.

"I would, but I think I'd prefer to talk about it in person. How would you like to go out for coffee, Katie?"

Katie just about dropped the phone. "Coffee?"

"Or tea or whatever you drink." Rossi laughed.

"Coffee's good. Um, where can I meet you?"

"How about I come pick you up in say 30 minutes?"

"That would be great." She rattled off her address and then hung up the phone. She looked at Fuzzbucket, who was now preening by the sink. "Fuzzbucket? Did that really happen? Oh My GOD!" Fuzzbucket looked up at her. "I have a date with David Rossi!" She looked in the mirror. "And, I've only got 30 minutes to look better than hell. Damn D.A." She muttered under her breath. She ran to her room and changed into something less business-y but not trashy. She quickly fixed her make-up just in time for her doorbell to ring.

Fuzzbucket waddled to the door. He looked at it, meowed then looked at Katie as she walked briskly to the door. She took a deep breath, shooed Fuzzbucket away and opened the door as calmly as she could. David Rossi stood there, a single red rose in his hand.

"Hi." She blushed. She knew she was blushing too, because her cheeks were burning.

"Good evening." Dave smiled. "For you." He handed her the rose.

She looked at it for a few seconds, then stepped back. "Come in, I'll just put this in some water."

Dave stepped in and looked around. Katie was sure he was profiling her by the way the apartment was decorated or how it was kept. She took out the vase, filled it with water and added a capful of bleach.

"Why the bleach?" He asked, picking Fuzzbucket up. The cat had been rubbing himself up against Dave's pants and shoes.

"A trick to keep bacteria and algae from growing in the water. Flowers last longer this way." She smiled at him.

"Good tips. I'll have to tell Mama about that sometime." He smiled again. "What's his name?"

"Fuzzbucket." Katie blushed again.

"Good name. He is quite fluffy. He's also quite a cuddle monster." Dave petted Fuzzbucket who was purring happily in his arms.

"Quite fluffy?" Katie laughed. "That's an understatement, but yeah, he's not usually this attention needy."

Dave laughed as he put Fuzzbucket back on the ground. "Maybe he's checking on his owner's date? Make sure I'm safe?"

"Maybe."

"Shall we?" Dave extended his arm to her.

She slipped her arm through it. They walked out the door. Katie turned and locked it then they went out. Dave opened her door for her. She slid into his car. He closed the door, then slid behind the wheel. He drove down the familiar streets to a nice little diner. It wasn't fancy but it was cozy. Katie had never been there before. She smiled as Dave opened the door for her and guided her to a table by the fireplace that was towards the back of the diner. Dave pulled out her chair, took her jacket and waited until she was properly seated before taking his seat across from her. The waitress handed them menus and took their drink order. Dave ordered a Scotch on the rocks while Katie ordered a Smirnoff Ice. For a diner they had quite a selection.

"Order anything you'd like. I figured we should have a meal with the drink, give us time to talk… get to know each other." Dave smiled as he opened the menu.

Katie giggled and nodded. "Ok." She opened the menu and browsed it thoroughly before settling on the cheeseburger special.

The waitress came and took their order. Katie placed her order first, and Dave just replied that he'd have the same.

"So Katie, you work for the D.A.?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm his assistant."

"You must be very good at your job."

"I like it. It pays the bills and gets me closer to what I want."

"And what is that?"

"I want to be a lawyer by my own right. I'm doing my degree while doing my job. The D.A. is pretty understanding. He got his degree the same way."

"So you want to be a prosecutor?"

"Maybe, I'm also leaning towards family court. I hate seeing kids being hurt because they were sent to live with the wrong parent after a divorce."

"Good cause." Dave took a sip of his Scotch. "You'll do good. I can tell."

"Thank you." Katie took a sip of her cooler.

The waitress arrived soon there after with dishes with huge cheeseburgers and heaps of fries. They ate and chatted about her and a little bit about him. Once they were done the meal, they shared a brownie sundae. Katie was having a blast. This was the most fun she had had in months. And it was with the man of her dreams. She never dreamt that she'd be doing this, not in a million years. After dessert, he paid the bill and they went for a walk in the park that was near by. They talked and he kept her close. He was being a true gentleman. For people who said chivalry was dead… this was proof it was still very much alive. As the temperature dipped, Dave led her back to his car. He helped her in, then headed back to her apartment. He helped her back to her apartment. She unlocked the door, and turned to say good night. He kissed her gently on the lips.

"Good night, Katie." He smiled.

"Good night Dave." She knew she had to be three shades of red.

"I had a good time."

"Me too." She whispered.

His hand gently brushed her cheek. "I'd like to do it again sometime, if you'd like to?"

"I'd like that a lot." She smiled.

He kissed her again. "I'll call you tomorrow. We can make a date then?"

"Okay."

"Good night Katie, sleep tight."

"Night." She walked in the door and closed it slowly as Dave headed back down the stairs. She leaned back against the door and sighed. Fuzzbucket was peaking his head around the corner from the kitchen. She looked at him. "That was the most amazing night and best date I've ever been on."

Fuzzbucket just meowed.

"Come on cat… Time for bed." Katie scooped the feline up into her arms, locked the door. She headed to her bedroom, put Fuzzbucket in his bed, got changed and lied down. She smiled as she pulled her pillow tight against her. It was the best night of her life.

*L.G.R.* L.G.R*L.G.R*

Dave drove home, a smile glued to his face. He hadn't had a good night like this in… hell he couldn't remember the last time he had had a night like this. She was something else. She had attitude, charisma and she knew exactly what she wanted. Hell, he didn't think women like that existed anymore. She would definitely be in his dreams tonight. He checked his messages, made a note to call Hotch in the morning, ordered his wake up call then had a relaxing shower to warm up. Once he dried off, he slipped into a pair of sweats and got into bed. He laid back, and with a smile on his face slipped into a deep and peaceful sleep. His dreams were filled with Katie's sweet face, and of the many things that could fill both their futures.
