The next couple of weeks for Amy went by so quickly she could hardly believe the month had gone so fast before her eyes. The whole month consisted of spending all of her spare time with Jake. It hadn't ever seemed possible that she could feel so strongly for someone let alone that person to be one Jake Peralta but it just felt right. She had never come this close to feeling this way for Teddy.
"Morning," Amy said immediately after answering her phone, she knew exactly who it would be. It was a routine she and Jake had gotten into, when he didn't stay over at hers; he would phone her as soon he got up.
"Morning," Jake replied before yawning.
Amy smiled as she enjoyed the warmth of her duvet "I don't want to get up, my bed is too comfortable." She explained.
"Maybe I should come and join you," Jake said.
"Maybe you should," Amy said, they had been dating for a good month and a half now and Amy wondered when they would get round to the physical side of it. Jake had brought it up saying he wanted to go slow so they stood a chance. It was sweet.
Jake groaned before she heard rustling on his end "Right that's it, I'm getting up and coming round." He said.
"Okay, don't forget-" Amy started to say when Jake cut her off.
"Don't forget the coffee and muffin, yeah yeah. As if I could forget." Jake said softly.
Amy laughed softly "I'll see you in a bit then," she said before hanging up.
As it turned out the day was miserable, the sky was overcast with dark grey clouds which were spitting out rain and the wind sounded horrendous which is why as soon as Jake walked through the front door, Amy passed him a towel.
"Thanks," He said appreciatively as he placed a brown paper bag and two cups on the coffee table.
"It's fine; you shouldn't have come round if the weather is that bad." Amy said as she watched him rub the towel through his wet hair.
Jake looked at her "Don't be ridiculous, I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to spend time with you." He said sincerely as he crossed the room and lightly put his (freezing cold) hands on her cheeks before pressing his lips to hers lightly. The kiss was so soft and sincere that when they pulled away Amy felt slightly breathless.
"What do you want to do today then?" Amy asked as she brought her arms to hang around his neck loosely.
"Well I would like to drink my coffee and eat my breakfast before I even think about today," Jake said grinning. Amy couldn't believe the coffee and muffin had slipped her mind.
Amy went to go retrieve the cup with her name scrawled on it when Jake pulled her back to give her a peck on the lips. It was little things like this that surprised Amy and she liked that.
They both sat down on her sofa and switched on the television before they sipped their coffees and started picking at their muffins when Amy asked "Is Boyle any closer to cracking?"
Jake opened up the conversation on his phone "So close," he stated.
BOYLE – Jake, I have something to tell you.
JAKE – What is it buddy?
BOYLE – Actually it's not that important!
JAKE – Oh, you usually tell me EVERYTHING no matter its importance
BOYLE – I'll tell you tomorrow
JAKE – Okay!
BOYLE – Actually it's nothing, don't worry, and forget I mentioned anything
"Wow, he's so close to cracking." Amy commented after scrolling through the conversation.
"Gina has probably physically threatened him to keep quiet," Jake stated.
"Probably," Amy agreed imaging how that would have played out in her mind.
"So… there's actually something I want to… well ask you," Jake said as he turned his head to look at her, they were both curled up together on the couch, just like how Amy imagined she'd do when she was a teen.
"What is it?" Amy asked tilting her head back slightly.
Jake was silent for a moment "I actually wanted to ask you somewhere nicer but it's not like it's a proposal but it's meant to be special right?" he said quickly.
"You're babbling," Amy stated however she was filled with excitement and nervousness to what he could be possibly asking (she had a pretty good idea!).
Jake nodded his head "Amy Santiago… would you possibly want to change the status of our relationship from dating to maybe… boyfriend and girlfriend status?" he asked.
Amy smiled "Jake are you asking me to be your girlfriend?" she asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"I… well… yeah, I didn't want to sound like a teenage boy." He said.
"Yes I will be your girlfriend," Amy smiled before pushing herself up slightly to kiss the edge of his jawline.
"It's about time," Jake muttered.
"Sure is," Amy agreed.
JAKEY – Heads up… ME AND AMY ARE ROMANTIC STYLEZ BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND.
Charles grinned as he re-read the text that had just popped up on his phone. He was happy that his best friend had finally gotten the 'love of his life'. Not that Jake had described Amy as that yet… but he will do one day.
"What are you grinning at?" Gina asked as she placed a cup of steaming tea on the bedside table.
He waited for Gina to get back into bed before handing over his phone to show her the message Jake had sent him "This, I'm happy Jake finally ended up with Amy." He explained.
"It's about time; their chemistry can make me uncomfortable sometimes." Gina replied as she brought her cup of coffee to her lips.
"Really? I think it's cute." Charles said.
"Did you want to stay over tonight?" Amy asked from the doorway.
Jake looked up at her "Uh… I-" he started to say when Amy started to slowly unbutton her shirt "Whatcha doing?" he asked softly, she could see he was focused on what she was unbuttoning.
"I asked if you wanted to stay over tonight," Amy stated raising an eyebrow as she reached her last button.
Jake got up from the sofa and closed the distance between them "Oh yes," he said as he took one side of the unbuttoned shirt and pulled it away slightly, he leaned forward connecting his lips to the sensitive spot between the neck and the shoulder.
"That's what I thought," Amy breathed.
