Later that night they were all at the bar waiting for Nick to show up. They were taking turns buying shots for Kat.

"I'm glad you're all getting such a kick out of this, I may have to murder Vera for this" she said knocking back the shot "Dumbass was so sure it'd be you two kissing" she said pointing at Scotty and Lilly

"I doubt Lil would require this many shots to kiss Scotty, you might want to pace yourself Miller" Stillman smiled.

Lilly smiled shyly and glanced at Scotty and found her was staring back at her. She met his gaze briefly then quickly lowered her eyes down to her own shot sitting in front of her. She drank it down quickly.

Nick finally walked in.

"Hey buddy, thought maybe you were gonna back out" Scotty smirked.

"Why would he be the one to back out?" Kat asked, annoyed in her semi drunken state.

"I need a beer" Nick said flatly, heading to the bar.

They hung out for a while, having a good time drinking and talking.

Lilly looked at her watch "I think it's time to pay up guys" she said to Nick and Kat.

Kat glared at her "Really Lil? You too? I thought there would be some solidarity between us, the only women in homicide but I guess not"

Lil lauged "Cause I'm sure if you guys had won you wouldnt be all over me and Scotty"

Kat leaned over in front of Scotty to whisper to Lil "But doesnt it sound like it would be fun to be all over Scotty? He is fine! She said drunkenly

Lil looked at Scotty, who had obviously heard the not so quiet whisper. He was grinning, obviously pleased with the compliment.

"Let's get this over with Miller" Nick said chugging the rest of his beer.

They stood at the end of the table and kissed quickly and very awkwardly. The group didnt get as much enjoyment out of it as they thought they would.

"Well that was weird" Will said.

"And creepy" Scotty said with a horrified look on his face. Lilly covered her mouth with her hand to stifle a giggle.

They got another round of drinks and had a good laugh about it.

Lilly's phone vibrated, indicating a text message, she couldnt imagine who could be texting her since she was already out with all the people who might text her.

It was from Scotty, saying "Can I ask you somethin?"

She looked over at him and grinned before replying "You just did"

He grinned at her response "Real cute Lil, but seriously promise you wont get weird if I ask you somethin"

"Cant promise since I dont know what it is but I'll do my best" she answered.

Scotty stared at her response on his phone, debating what to do, then he put his phone back on his belt.

After a few minutes Lilly's curiousity was getting the best of her and she couldnt resist knowing what it was he wanted to ask.

Scotty felt his phone vibrate and read Lil's text "Just say it"

Scotty looked up at her for a second then proceeded with his text "Ok look if I'm wrong just tell me to shut up and we'll never speak of it again, you looked disappointed, we're you?"

She stared at her phone, lost in thought, wondering what would happen if she told him how she desperately wanted to taste his lips, how many times she'd dreamt of his body pressed against hers, so close, his hands on her, her hands on him.

"Earth to Rush" Will said waving his hand in front of her face.

"Huh? What?" Lil asked snapping out of her daydream.

"We were saying we can call it a night now that the show's over" Stillman said.

"Yeah that's a good idea, I'm tired" she said grabbing her bag and jacket.

"Must be, you're practically falling asleep at the table" Will said.

They all walked out together "You guys going home together?" Scotty teased Nick and Kat.

Kat elbowed him in the side

"Yeah yeah, bet's over, we paid up, how bout we drop it now" Nick said, annoyed.

Stillman laughed and patted Nick and Kat on the back "I gotta hand it to you, you guys are good sports"

They all went to their cars "Hey" Lil called out to Scotty. He turned around and looked at her.

"Extremely" she smiled. He grinned back at her "Me too, big time"
