Authors note: Thank you all for your lovely reviews! So sorry that it took longer than I had expected, but I had Uni all last week – an intensive topic which for some reason my University thought it would be good to run during the summer break! I have assessment tasks to do, but I thought I would update before I get distracted with my lovely essays. Anyways, I hope that you all enjoy! Any mistakes are my own. I love these two. Massive cuties ha-ha Enjoy! P.S italics are lyrics from the song Daydreamer by Adele.

Chapter Two – Daydreamer

Lawson drove quietly along the quiet city streets of Melbourne, taking in the surroundings with his grip tight on the steering wheel. Glancing sideways slightly, he saw Shannon staring outside the passenger window daydreaming, oblivious to what was occurring around her. Turning his attention back to the road he smiled, she was beautiful and amazing; words truly couldn't describe how he felt about her.

In the corner of her eye, despite her daydreaming, she could see Lawson with a smile on his face. Without turning her attention to him, Shannon moved her right hand from her lap and placed it on his upper thigh.

"You with me now, daydreamer?" Lawson asked his eyes still focussed on the road ahead of him.

Shannon turned her head so she was looking at him, "I'm always with you, Lawson," she spoke softly.

Glancing at her, Lawson moved his left hand from the steering wheel, and placed it on top of hers, intertwining their fingers, "I know you are, babe."

Shannon smiled at him, "We really need to start looking for somewhere to live."

"Mm, I know. You're lease runs out soon doesn't it?" Lawson asked

"In two weeks. I mean, it doesn't really matter if it runs out before we find somewhere…"

"No, but it would be good to have our own place."

Shannon's smile grew, "Yeah, it will be."

As they pulled into base, Lawson parked the car and as he turned the ignition off, he sighed, "How about our next day off, we'll have a look at houses, yeah?"

"Yeah," Shannon moved her hand off Lawson's thigh, in order to unclip her seatbelt and Lawson did the same.

"Shan…"

"Hmm," Shannon murmured, and looked up at Lawson.

"I'm serious, Shan."

Shannon raised her hand up to Lawson's face, allowing it to rest on his cheek, "I know you are, Lawson."

Moving forward Lawson kisses her forehead lightly, and as he pulls back, Shannon stops him by bringing him into a hug, both holding on to one another tight; content and happy.

OoOoO

"Alright guys, so I know you are all wondering why we are all here this early, but the word from upstairs is that there is a big drug bust about to go down, and drugs need a hand, mainly for the arrest," Lawson stated.

"Any more intel?" Josh asked as he opened his locker door.

"Yeah, yeah. We're being briefed on our way out there …" Before Lawson could continue, Kerry walked into the locker rooms.

"Hey guys, the reason why you're getting briefed on the way out there, they want you out there ASAP," Kerry said.

"Fair enough," muttered Elliot.

"Yeah, they didn't expect the drug bust to happen today. So stay sharp and good luck," Kerry stated, before she quickly walked out of the locker room.

"Shan, you'll be in TR2 with Stella and Christian. Josh, Elliot and I, will be in TR1. Okay, let's get out there," Lawson stated quickly, just before he walked out of the locker room and made his way towards the Intel room.

"Let's go bitches!" Stella mocked loudly as she shut her locker door.

"I'm driving Stell," Christian said.

"Piss off, I'm driving."

"Bullshit you are! Race you for it…" and as the words left his mouth, Stella and Christian both ran to TR2 as fast as they could, both determined to win.

"You're going to have a fun day with them two, Shan," Josh said, as Elliot and himself both got dressed in their tactical gear.

"Tell me about it!" Shannon exclaimed as she shut her locker door and made her way out of the change rooms.

"Looks like you're in the back seat, Stella!" Christian stated, "I win!"

"Pfft… Whatever!"

Shannon smiled, as she heard the antics of Christian and Stella, whilst she said a brief hello to Leon – who looked pretty worse for wear. "Big night?" Shannon asked.

"You have no idea, Shannon. No idea," Leon muttered as he continued to walk to the Intel room.

She laughed.

It was going to be a long day.

OoOoO

"Hey, Shan…" Lawson shouted as he ran from the change rooms over to TR2

"Mm…" Shannon replied as she turned her attention away from TR2, to Lawson.

"Promise me, you'll stop daydreaming and focus. Please," Lawson spoke softly, as he placed his hands on her waist.

Shannon smiled lightly, as she grabbed hold of his hands that were on her waist, and intertwined her hands with his. "Yes, Lawson; I promise," Shannon murmured, as she squeezed his hands to reassure him.

"I love you."

"I know you do. I love you too," Shannon murmured as she quickly pecked him on the lips. "I've gotta go, my Senior Sergeant will be pissed, if he sees us kissing," She smirked, as she turned and made her way back to TR2 with Christian in the driver's seat and Stella in the back seat talking animatedly.

Lawson laughed, "Yeah, you better. I've heard he's a real prick."

As Shannon got into TR2, and closed the door she smiled at Lawson. She really did love him, "stay safe."

"Always am. Same goes to you," Lawson replied, just before TR2 left base and disappeared into the Melbourne traffic.

"Lawson, ready to go?" Josh asked as he walked towards Lawson.

"Yeah, mate."

As Lawson turned around and made his way to TR1, he sighed, and ran his fingers through his hair. It was going to be a long day.

Daydreamer
Sitting on the sea
Soaking up the sun
He is a real lover
Of making up the past
And feeling up his girl
Like he's never felt her figure before
