Hey, I'm really sorry about how long it's taken to get this up. I wrote half of this before Christmas and never got around to finishing it. Thanks so much for all the support and hope you like it! :)

Chapter Two- Michelle's POV

From the moment you'd set foot in CTU he'd acted off towards you, staring at your hair with a disapproving look on his face and he avoided you like some sort if disease. You had tried to tame your hair as to avoid his looks, scraping it back in the mornings and making sure any loose curls were neatly pinned back away from your face but by the end of the day the curls that were so painstakingly placed had wormed their way from your clips and others had escaped from your hair tie. You really couldn't help the way your hair was.

You had been transferred here, to CTU, over six months ago and his not-exactly-friendly behaviour towards you had lasted all of two months. However after your first two months you had looked up from your computer screen to catch him staring at you or turned around to ask one of the analysts to do you a favour and he would be there watching you with a strange look on his face. You really didn't know what was up with this man, why he continued to act this way towards you when you'd hardly even spoken to him, why he stared at you was beyond your knowledge. To be honest you found it unsettling.

After two months of barely exchanging more than two words per day he was suddenly leaning on your desk, explaining to you your work and what he wanted you to do- a little more than you needed him to. After he'd explained it all one time he bit his lip slightly and scratched the side of his face- you'd discovered after many sessions of your own scrutinizing sessions that he did this when he was feeling uneasy or unsettled- before asking you how you were. You'd become quite flustered and answered quickly- a little too quickly. He'd just smiled slightly and then left you to do your work. This had become a daily thing after a couple of days and gradually you found yourself trusting him. You'd liked him more than you would have liked to admit.

Four or five months later you considered him as a good friend and looked forward to your conversations and just seeing him at work. Instead of getting up on Monday mornings just wanting to go back to bed for a few hours you found that you were eager to see him- almost too eager. It frightened you how much of a hold he had on you and how quickly you got to know him. And the more you got to know him the more you wanted to take things further.

And the more you wanted to take things to the next level the more you believed you were in love with him.

But when your car broke down he promised you he would get it sorted this morning and gave you a ride home. When you came into work the next morning, an hour late as you had taken the public bus to work, you asked him if he had sorted it for you but he had only gave you a gruff nod and walked away. The rest of the day whenever you tried to talk to him he either brushed you off or ignored you.

After maybe, a couple of times of him doing this you got the message loud and clear and you steered clear of him. Detaching yourself from him now, instead of hanging around pining after him seemed the best thing to do. You replied to his abrasive attitude towards you with just ignoring him, staying out of his way. Instead of waiting around to say bye to him in the evenings after your shift ended you left without a word, instead of smiling across the room at him you kept your eyes glues to your screen and ignored his gaze that you could feel on you. If you saw him in the break room you would reluctantly go and eat your lunch in the IT room, and vice versa.

Well, until just a moment ago. You were sat at the table, eating a sandwich when he came in, and to your surprise sat right down opposite you. You're feeling uncomfortable because you know he's watching you carefully, studying what you do, and to your extreme mortification your face burns red, and you can feel your heart beating just that fraction faster. You're feeling really uncomfortable and want nothing more than to eat that sandwich in your hand as fast as possible (and without causing too much attention to yourself- at least of that's possible with your face glowing) so you can get right out of here and get one with your work.

Hopefully without having to see him again.

But as you try now to chew and swallow the last bite of your lunch as fast as possible, and two times faster than that, you start to choke. Bits of the sandwich fly everywhere (not the most attractive look), landing on the table. You know that your face- if possible- is even redder than a moment before. So much for you not attracting his attention even more to you as it was before. He's by your side now, patting the back of your back as you try to swallow the chokes. You grab your bottle now and take a sip of water, the choking subsiding. Your blush, however, remains stubborn and stays. You hope you can pass it off for just lack of air.

"Are you alright?" his voice is gruff as he looks up at you from where he crouches beside you. You nod as turn you attention back to your lunch, trying to put it back in your bag faster. He grabs your wrist to stop you, and after a moment you turn to look into his eyes, dropping the plastic lunch lid with a clatter. He whispers your name and you can feel your insides turning to jelly under his eyes. Before you know what's happening your lips re glued together in a kiss. He drops your wrist now and you find your hands running through his hair, and his rests on your cheek.

After what seems like hours you pull apart. You're both breathing heavily. You dare to look into his eyes and instead of the annoyed look you've found there these last couple of days, you find them kind and a half smile on lingering on his lips.

You find your own lips stretching into a goofy grin as you move forward to kiss him again.

So, this is the end! I hope you liked it and if anyone wants me to write any more on this please review and tell me!

If there are any mistakes on either of the chapters let me know and I'll change it.

Thanks for the reviews!
