Jay's POV

It took no time for us to become best friends, telling each other everything, hanging out after shift. I wondered if she felt the same way I did all the time. I mean those looks we shared in the car couldn't mean nothing, right? Their definitely was something about us though, she and Antonio were like siblings. I don't even know whats up with her and Voight, and Al was like her Uncle or something. Even her and Woolhite's relationship wasn't as close as me and Erin's. I just hoped she felt something like I did. I constantly flirted with her, and she was definitely flirting back, yet she kept setting me up with her random friends. They're all nice and sweet, they were just nothing compared to her. Even my feelings for Gabriella Dawson have completely vanished since I met Erin. Hopefully, Erin wont ask me to set her up though, because I could never do that, their is no one good enough for her, not even me.

She picked me up from my apartment that day, I always loved when she did that because it meant she'd have to drive me home to, the more time with her the better. We got to the district and walked upstairs side by side. As we both reached for the keypad to get in our hands brushed against each other. Did she feel the heat to when we touched? She just looked at me and smirked.

"Earth to Halstead! What are you waiting for, doofus, sign in!" I signed in and held the door open for her. She always made fun of my gentlemanly ways, holding open doors, pulling out chairs etc. She always called me out as using it as a cheap trick to get girls. If only she knew I did it as a trick to get her. "I guess chivalry still hasn't died in you, Halstead." She exaggeratedly batted her eyelashes.

"Oh come on Lindsay you know you love it when I do stuff like that, I mean who's gonna do it considering you don't have a real boyfriend?" I teased her relentlessly about how she turned down men left and right. It was almost comical, anywhere we went together every guy was feasting their eyes on her.

"Oh, shut it Halstead, like you have a girlfriend to even use that charm on!" We always joked like this. About how I was her "house husband". I did everything a boyfriend would do, only I wished I really was her boyfriend.

"Maybe I use it on you for a reason, Linds." We stared at each other for a long second and she smirked at me. I couldn't get enough of that smirk.

"Oh, you wish, Halstead, and nice try you're still not driving." She just loved to torture me with not driving. She always claims she was in this unit longer, the good thing about her driving all the time though was that I could look at her instead having to pay attention to the road.

Later that morning, I saw Erin get up from her desk and go into the break room, I followed he just for the opportunity to get out of work and talk to her. I wanted to know where she had gone with Voight. She never explained much about her background, but neither did I. I just assumed that we both had a rough past. I walked in with my coffee cup and leaned against the counter. She almost didn't notice me until i started talking. "That stuff'll kill you now, apparently, I saw an article online." I joked with her she drank so much coffee I'm surprised she wasn't made of it by now. She made her usual comment about not caring as I reached out my cup to her. "Please." I said. If only she knew how much I needed that cup. We hadn't hung out last night, so the nightmares came back. Another reason why I hoped we would start dating soon, she kept the nightmares away. She smirked at me and poured me a cup.

"Caitlin was asking about you…" She looked up at me. Something was in her eyes, was she jealous? Of course not, she set me up with Caitlin.

"Sweet girl, but my loss." Again, we shared a long pause. I stepped towards her as she walked past me, I wanted to kiss her so much, I nearly grabbed her arm as she walked out of the break room but knew that it would be going too far. She kept talking though.

"You," she said, "I am never setting you up again." She turned back at me with those almond eyes, I went along pretending I actually cared whether or not I was set up. Doesn't she know I just want to be set up with her?

"What why?!" I replied back.

"Because you don't know a good thing when you see it." She twirled back at me and looked me straight in the eyes.

I scoffed. It was almost comical how oblivious she was to my feelings towards her. "Trust me Lindsey, I know." She looked back at me quizzically but then dropped it and smirked. Just then Voight walked in, looking between us and pointing.

"You two are going undercover." He pointed to Erin, explaining how she was a junkie and I was her boyfriend. I was excited. I loved going under cover, especially with Erin. She was the best partner I ever had. We just worked well together, it was like we could read each others minds, I've never felt more protective of another human being in my life. She agreed that we meshed well and said that just meant we were good partners. Really though, I knew, it was because of my feelings for her.

The hit was bad. I almost put her in danger. I couldn't take my mid off of it. If she hadn't stopped me we both could be injured or worse, dead. I approached her after the gunfight. I wanted to tell her right then my feelings for her. I looked into her eyes and apologized, she just looked at me and said, "That's why you have backup." I kept looking down at her beautiful eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I grabbed her hand for just a second, so slight no one would ever notice it. Her smile told me it was ok that I did that, and as Jin we quickly untangled our fingers.

"Just thanks." I said.
