Ok gang... Here is the second installment from Ranger RPG. Keep in mind that each character has been written by a different person. We all hope you enjoy it. Please Review!! We are all anxious to hear your thoughts!!

They lay wrapped in each others arms in the tangle of sheets that used to be her neatly made bed. She had a satisfied smile on her face that she couldn't quit and didn't think she wanted to try.

She took a deep breath give a satisfied sigh to match the smile when she smelled it. "Shit! The lasagna! I completely forgot about it! Shit!" She untangled herself and bolted into the kitchen.

Lester jumped from the bed to follow her.

When he got to the kitchen she was cussing up a storm. He grabbed his jeans from the kitchen floor, where they had left their clothes, and pulled them on.

"Damn, Crys. I'm sorry I ruined our dinner"

He walked up behind her where she was standing in front of the stove staring at what was supposed to be their dinner. He placed his hands on her shoulders and felt her body shake as she started laughing. She couldn't help but laugh. It was just too funny. He was blaming himself for ruining the dinner.

"It isn't your fault Les. I forgot about it in my haste to get into those sexy jeans of yours. Now I that you are back in those I am going to get into your shirt." She wiggled her eyebrows at him and gave him a devilish grin as she pulled on his button up. It hit her and mid thigh and she giggled. "God I'm short." She smiled up at him when she noticed him watching her.

"This definitely isn't how I thought the evening would turn out, but I think that the middle might be able to be salvaged. What do ya say? You hungry?"

Hungry? Hell yeah, but not for lasagna He smiled at her sweetly.
"Yeah, even though it's burnt, I can't pass up your lasagna, baby."
He leaned down and kissed her and took a seat at the, now infamous, kitchen island.

He sat at the same seat he started in and thinking about what happened made her blush a little. As she cut the lasagna and served them the salvageable parts her mind was running a mile a minute.

Now what? Do we stay friends? Are we fuck buddies? Do we become a couple? Where do we go from here? Instead of asking any of those questions she went the avoidance route.

"How's the lasagna?"

He watched as she took the seat across from him where she sat when they had ate the little bit of salad earlier. He saw her blush, apparently thinking about earlier. She looked confused then asked him how the lasagna was.

"Actually, it's perfect. Just like I remember." He smiled as he took another hearty bite.

She got the feeling that the lasagna wasn't the only thing he was talking about. They sat quietly eating for a few minutes before she tried to stimulate the conversation again.

"How are the boys? I miss them all, but they probably don't even remember me much. I haven't spoken to any of them in years."

She shocked him when she asked about the guys.

"They are good, Ranger and Tank are out on a job right now. Believe me they haven't forgotten you. They ask me how you are doing when they know I've talked to you. Bobby especially." Lester took another bite of lasagna, then got a great idea.

"Bobby is working the monitors tonight, why don't we take him some dinner? I am sure he would be very excited to see you."

She was surprised by his answer. She figured that after dinner he was just going to leave.

"Are you sure? I mean...I don't want to keep you if you are busy. I kind of sprung this on you at the last minute and I don't want to be a bother to him while he is working." Plus, Bobby will know if we show up together with slightly burnt food that something happened.

He laughed, "Bobby wouldn't mind a break, especially if it involves food and seeing you would be a major plus." Lester had cleaned his plate and sat his fork down.

"It'll be fun." He winked at her. "Come on."

That wink sent shivers to her lower region again and she decided that it was probably best to be in the presence of another person. She felt like jumping his bones again. That was something that she couldn't let herself do until she had a reign on her emotions. She couldn't afford to have her heart broken again.

"Sure. Let me get cleaned up and then I'll pack him something." She slid off the stool and went to the bedroom to find something to wear.

"Shit!" She cursed when she realized that the guard would probably noticed that she was wearing different clothes.

She put on one of her jean skirts and a black stretchy tank top. She sat on the bed for a moment to gather her thoughts before she went out to face him again. She gathered her courage and walked back outside to find Lester.

Lester finished getting dressed while she did the same. He put on his t-shirt, socks and shoes. He decided to start washing the dishes for her. It gave him time to think. I hope I didn't ruin our friendship. I wonder if we could have a future together? How does she feel about what happened tonight?

Lester had the plates and silverware washed when she returned to the kitchen. He turned and smiled as he dried his hands.

She stopped dead in her tracks when he smiled at her. She shook it off and smiled when she saw that the dishes were done.

"Aww. You did the dishes. You are too good to me." She laughed and started to make Bobby's plate. "When did you turn all domestic? Last I remember you would throw a plate away before washing it."

Lester walked over next to her and leaned his back against the counter watching her wrap the plate for Bobby.

"I'm just being a good guest and helping out. Is that so bad?"

"Not bad at all, hot stuff. Let's get this plate over to Bobby. The more I think about it the more excited I am about seeing him again." She gave him a killer smile and grabbed her purse and keys.

The drive over was fun, they listened to an 80's station singing alone to the few songs that played on the 10 minute drive. Lester knew that Bobby would see Crys the minute they got in the elevator to go to the fifth floor.

He had Crys pull up to the gate of the garage and handed her his pass key to get in. She parked in Tank's space, which was empty, and they got out of the car.

She looked nervous as they walked to the elevator, Lester wrapped his arm around her shoulder, while he held the plate of food in the other hand, "He will be so happy to see you, Crys. Don't be nervous."

She leaned into his shoulder, but the minute the elevator doors opened on the fifth floor she was enveloped in a bear hug from the very person she was nervous about seeing. She squealed with delight and giggled when she was placed on the floor again.

"I missed you Bubby!" She grinned up at him.

"I missed you to Angel" he said as he hugged her again. "It's been to long...how are you?" He asked as he looked her over from head to toe.

"I'm great! I just moved to Trenton so you are going to be seeing a lot more of me. I came over earlier and invited Lester over for dinner. We brought you some." She looked over at Lester who was just standing there watching them.

Lester held in a chuckle, "Figured you like some of Crys's home cooking, buddy. I hope you don't mind it well done." Crystal slapped Lester's chest.

Bobby took the plate that Lester was holding out to him.

"Thank you Angel" Bobby said placing a kiss on her forehead. He then took the cover off of the plate and looked at his well done lasagna "Not that I'm complaining Angel, but what happened...I know for a fact that this is one of your signature dishes."

She got a little embarrassed and looked to the floor. "Well. I got a little distracted." She looked to Lester who was wearing a cocky grin on his face. She rolled her eyes and smiled at Bobby, trying to hide the embarrassment.

Shit! was the first thought that ran through Bobby's head. Crystal looking embarrassed and Lester's shit eating grin told him everything he needed to know.

"That's ok Angel" he said to her in a soft voice. He then in turn looked at Lester over Crystal's head with an expression on his face that said we'll talk later.

Lester returned the look to Bobby. He knew what Bobby was thinking. Bobby wanted to shove his foot up Lester's ass. Lester decided that he better get Crys out of here before Bobby started beating him in front of her.

"Crys, why don't you head home and call me tomorrow. I think your 'Bubby' wants to kill me." He kissed her cheek. "I'll be fine, I can take him." he whispered to her.

"No. No way! I am so not going home and letting you two fight. If you two have something to talk about that involves me then I am staying." She crossed her arms and stood her ground.

"Crystal we're not gonna fight", at least not yet, Bobby mumbled in a barely audible tone. As he directed his comment to Crystal he looked a Lester and made sure that it was clear that they would talk at a later date when they were alone.

Lester felt disappointed, he wanted a reason to give Bobby a good beating. He stepped back on the elevator, "I'm going to take a shower and probably go to bed. You two go ahead and spend some time together. I think I've worn out my welcome."

Lester hit the button for the fourth floor and the doors closed. He leaned back and thought about what had happened that night. So much for Bobby's little surprise being fun. He wanted to tell Crystal how much she meant to him, but only succeeded in pissing her off. He figured they both needed time to cool down from the intense emotions of the evening. A cold shower was what he needed.

Hope you like it so far... Please read and review, Lester and Crys are anxious for your thoughts
