Authors Note: Thank you so much for your reviews, I am having so much fun writing this – in re-watching season 4, I can't believe that Jess is still trying to get Becker's attention right up to the last episode, any normal person would get fed up if after defusing a bomb to save the guy and then he still doesn't make a move- you get what I mean?
A special thanks to my brother who helped me put together a 'soundtrack' for each of my stories (the track list is in my profile located at the bottom) thanks bro!
And thank you again for reading.
-Becker-
"Has anyone noticed something…different about Jess?" Becker asked his fellow teammates somewhat absently, Abby gave a snort.
"It's kind of obvious Becker…that reminds me, is she wearing your clothes Connor?" Abby asked turning her gaze to Connor.
"Yes." He said looking down into the river.
"Does she borrow your clothes often mate?" Matt asked, not hiding his smirk, Connor shook his head smiling but didn't respond. Becker ignored them, getting frustrated because no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get Jess out of his mind.
-Jess-
Jess was getting something out of her locker when one of Becker's soldiers – Lieutenant Conrad Mitchell came into the room too.
"Oi…hi Jess." He said giving her a smile. Jess has looked at Conrad plenty of times – but she felt like this time she was really looked at him. He was attractive – honestly, just as attractive as Becker.
'hmmm, oh what the hell, he's healthy and attractive – and I KNOW he has a crush on me.' Jess thought making up her mind.
"What are you doing tonight Conrad?" Jess boldly asked, Conrad pulled back from his locker looking surprised at the question.
"Nothing actually…why do you ask?" He gave her a quizzical look.
"There is a night club that I have wanted to go to – I was wondering if you wanted to come with me tonight." Jess asked this with an unusual amount of boldness.
Conrad dropped whatever she was holding picking it up quickly he asked, trying his best not to have stammer in his voice. "You mean - a date?"
Jess smiled. "Yes, I mean a date." Jess pulled out a piece of paper writing the location of the club – walking up to Conrad she handed it to him. "Meet me there at seven?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, I'll meet you there." He responded, fashing him a grin Jess left the room heading back to the ADD. She felt giddy and happy at the prospect of going out with a guy who was actually interested in her.
She put her ear peace back in announcing her presences too all the people in the field.
"Where did you go Jess?" Matt teased. Again, what the hell, why lie?
"I was setting up a date with Conrad for later tonight." Jess replied, Becker's voice came over the headset.
"Conrad, as in Lieutenant Conrad Mitchell?" Becker asked, his voice incredulous.
Jess temper raged in a way it hadn't in years at his tone., where did he get off talking to her in that kind of tone? There was absolutely nothing wrong with asking Conrad out.
"Not that it's any of your business Becker but yes, and excuse me I was talking Matt –not you." Jess snapped.
There was a moment of awkward silence.
"Jess, I'm sorry for my tone, I didn't mean any offe…" Becker started to say, but an anomaly opening up down the street from them interrupted him. Jess was glad for the distraction.
Still amazed at Becker's audacity she shook her head leading the team to where the needed to go.
