By morning, Lilly had awakened with her heart full of beating romance. She couldn't help but to feel this way not after first kissing John last night. The taste of him made the beatings of her pulse quicken, needing another dose of his love quickly.

Later on after she had gotten to work, the feelings from last night caused a bit of dizziness to start. Breathing in deeply, Lilly tried to dismantle them until seeing that John was sitting in his office as in effort to conceal what had transpired last night.

It wasn't like they had sex or anything, but perhaps this relationship was new to him also. Anyhow she then found a tall cup of Triple Americano sitting on her desk.

"Thanks" she said to Scotty who seemed at lost for the compliment" I didn't buy it Lil".

Her eyes then searched his before realizing that was John who had taken the liberty to do so, but with a deep breath of confidence Lilly walked into his office and closed the door. John looked up slowly seeing the woman whom he loved so much, but wasn't used to a real relationship.

"Have something new on the case, Lil" he asked in his usual boss tone.

The blonde smiled" Surprised you didn't stay over last night" giving a grin. Taking off his glassed he knew she had indeed spotted his own nervousness" Didn't want to rush us".

Her heart immediately did a triple beat, while her senses ached to quill up fast. Unlike all the other failed relationships she didn't let her walls come up this time" So we still on for tonight, or are you going to get nervous on me"?

John then chuckled softly" What makes you think I'm nervous"?



"You're sure acting that way" adding a laugh to the conversation" So what don't I know about you" slinking over to his side of the desk.

"Find out tonight Lil" he replied looking now straight into her blue eyes. Without a single word their lips bonded like glue, for a split second. It was short but perfect in Lilly's mind, the way it was when Kite had first done that to her out in the snow.

As she got up, John continued to watch the way her hips were swaying; before she had caught him. With a smile Lilly left his office knowing that there was something special brewing between the two of them.

However later that night, six skirts were been thrown down on the bed as the blonde tried to find something to wear. Upon pulling out a long black thin strapped dress, Lilly put in on but still couldn't decided whether or not to leave it down or up. For a new record she then decided to leave it down, but curled it slightly.

Her stomach felt weak, before Lilly then threw up due to being so nervous. She had been on dates before but never felt like this; whatever it was her heart was now racing inside. Upon looking at the clock, Lilly's eyes widened before throwing on some light makeup.

From downstairs the doorbell then rang, making the blonde almost trip while running down the stairs so fast. There stood John wearing a pair of slacks and a red top, before handing her a bouquet of roses.

"I picked them up from a place near the office" feeling a little embarrassed even for someone at his age.

Her smile soften before taking them into her arms" Thanks" but when she went to retrieve a vase from the cabinet it immediately smashed on the fall.

"Crap" she muttered before John grabbed something to help her clean it up.

When the glass was finally discarded in the garbage pail, he then stood facing her, before Lilly let out a breath.

Nonetheless the two still went out to dinner, but winded up coming back to her place afterwards. There Lilly stood by the staircase awaiting him" You coming John" finally saying his first name. With a sultry walk as she then led him onto the bed, as the night droned on but she had found John wasn't still ready to have sex. Though her body was craving it badly, she then decided to rest her head down on his chest as they made small talk instead.

"Been awhile, huh" asking softly.

John chuckled at her comment," Yeah" before kissing the top of her head as he then felt her hands gently touching the scar where Ed had shot him. In his mind that wasn't what was on rewind, but just seeing her coming out on the stretcher just after being shot did.

Instead he just continued to the listen to the sound of Lilly breathing in and out, remembering him sitting there, while she lay on the bed in pain. John had never seen her this way, especially when she cried out for her now deceased mother.

At this very moment, he the paused to let out a breath" Thought that night I was going to lose you forever, you were in a lot of pain Lil".

Along with his words, Lilly's fingers touched her scar, but ceased to remember those horrifying nightmares" You did take care of me, when I got home, even cooked for me".



"That wasn't a meal, not much of a cook" added John

Lilly let out a small laugh while containing to listen to the sound of his heartbeat, now echoing inside of her ear, somehow the sound then lulled her to sleep.

By morning, John got up before moving a tendril of hair away from her face as his lips then planted a small kiss upon her porcelain skin. A delicate smile then appeared on Lilly's face as she gently pulled him closer, while the two continued kissing.

"Mmm" feeling his warm kisses, knowing that she absolutely craved for a good morning kiss. By far, this was a good start to the day. Even after he had left to go home and dress for work, Lilly was practically glowing in love.

However while on route to work, Scotty joined her like usual. While on the journey down to headquarters, he could sense that his partner was acting different; very different. Chuckling to himself, Lilly then turned seeing the expression set up the Cuban's face.

"What" as her stomach did a triple flip upon seeing John standing there at the coffee both in from of the building?

Luckily nothing strange out of the ordinary happened, but as usual John acted like the boss that he was. A good thing about dating him, he was more mature than the rest of the bozos that she had dated. However just after bringing up a box up from the warehouse, Lilly knew she couldn't resist looking at John anymore.

However what would her colleagues think of her dating their boss, but it was good thing that John had been divorced for years. Then a thought came to mind, what if the DA found out about this?



It wasn't like they were having an affair, but more of a relationship that was deemed to grow with more love and trust.
