"Babe, can borrow a shirt and maybe some panties?" Kate called from the bathroom as she finished covering up the numerous hickies on her neck adding some lipstick.

"Help yourself." Amy stepped into the bathroom doing up her blouse and tucking it into her pants. "Panties in top right drawer," Amy pecked at Kate's cheek. Kate stepped out into the bedroom and went to find a pair. She found a pair that she knew would do for the evening, comfortable yet sexy for their after dinner celebrations. She then went to the closet and found a light blue blouse that would compliment Amy's white one. She was buttoning it up as she wondered out of the closet, Amy sitting on the bed putting her boots on, letting out a small laugh.

"I know a little tight."

"Nah," Amy held out her hand and Kate walked towards her sitting on her lap, straddling her thighs. "Incredibly sexy, tight," She pulled Kate closer to her body, "did I mention sexy" pulling Kate in for a kiss, "especially the part with you coming out of my closet." Kate smacked Amy's arm before kissing her once more with force that caused them to fall onto the bed. Amy started to unbutton Kate's shirt,

"Babe, um," Kate pulled back, "let's save it for dessert, cause if we start now, we will never leave."

"Right," Kate one last kiss before rolling over and sitting up and re-buttoning her blouse.

Downstairs they each slipped on their coat and headed out. Kate was about to open the door to the bar when Amy grabbed her hand, "We'll use the other door." Amy lead Kate down the hall showing her what was behind some the other doors, her office, the beer lock-up and a small empty garage. "This is the delivery room, but if you wanted to park you bike," as small smile formed on her lips.

"Thanks, would love it." They finally reached the back door and stepped out, a cab waiting for them.

After a few minutes into the ride Amy glanced over at Kate who was looking out the window bouncing a leg and chewing on her finger. Amy reached over and grabbed her hand pulling down to her lap, "nervous babe?"

Kate smiled, "this is my sort of first real date, you know."

Amy used her other hand to brush the hair from Kate's face before giving her a kiss, "it will be fine, just a quiet dinner, no where fancy."

"I know, I'm just a little unsure."

"Like I said, it will be fine, just do what comes naturally, I'm nervous too." She gave Kate one more kiss before resting her head on her shoulder and rubbing circles on Kate's hand. Soon the cab pulled up to the small restaurant. Both got out, Kate giving the cabbie some cash. Amy pulled Kate to her, hands on hips, "you ready."

"Yah, just trying to control my natural instincts, which is to to doing something with you that will get me arrested." Kate grabbed Amy's hand and headed for the door. They walked, Amy's arm making its way around Kate's waist by the time they made it in to the small restaurant.

"Amy, my child, it's lovely to see you, and your lovely friend" a small women pulled Amy into a half hug, Amy unwilling to give up her hold on Kate.

"Maria, good to see you too," Amy pulled back, looking at Kate who gave a soft smile, "this is my girlfriend, Kate Beckett."

"Kate, this is Maria Borelli." Kate put free hand out,

"Mrs. Borelli, it's a pleasure."

"Please child, anyone special enough for Amy to bring, you call me Maria." Maria pulled Kate into the hung, causing Amy to lose her hold. "Edward said you were beautiful."

"Thanks," Kate stepped back beside Amy grabbing her hand.

"Come this way, I have a table set up in the corner for you, Silvio is making something special for you two." Maria led them to the corner table by the window. Amy dropped Kate's hand and moved up to grab her jacket, pulling it back, off Kate's shoulder. She then pulled out the chair against the window and guided Kate towards it. Amy then took the seat opposite, after adding her jacket to Kate's. "Red fine ladies."

"That will be great, thanks Maria." Amy reached for her glass of water and noticed a questioning smile on Kate's face as she drank hers. "What?"

"The chair, really," Kate responded with lightness in her voice.

Amy reached across the table grabbing Kate's hand, "I wanted to be that person, at least for tonight."

"Are you saying that I have been that person the past couple days."

"Well you did fall asleep with the remote in your hand last night."

"Fine, whatever, you can be that person, though you don't complain that much at home."

Maria came back with the wine and glasses. She poured the wine then turned to greet her other costumers. "So what should we toast tonight?"

Kate raised her glass, "to life after the weekend, may it be just as meaningful."

"To life," Amy clinked her glass. "So this is nice."

"Yah, so um, how many people have gotten to enjoy this." Kate took a sip of wine.

Amy looked down before looking up, "two, you and um, my ex-fiancé." Kate coughed, choking on her wine.

"Your, ex-fiancé, well I'm glad that he," Amy nodded, "is your ex, or this could be awkward."

"Very ex," Amy stretched out her arm, pushing some hair from Kate's face, cradling her face. "Do you wish I didn't tell you."

Kate grabbed Amy hand giving her wrist a kiss, "no, I'm glad." Their joined hands dropped to the table. "Tell me."

"His name was Steve, we met at the bar one night and dated for about six months before he proposed. It was about a month after my grandfather died and I was scattered. He really did love me, but I was never there, for obvious reasons," giving Kate's hand a squeeze, "anyways, he got a job offer out in California, I just couldn't."

"I understand." Just then Maria came up with their antipasto plate and fresh focaccia.

"Ladies, enjoy."

"Maria, this looks amazing, thank you."

"Yes thank you," Kate poured them some more wine before they began to dig in.

"So babe, what does your schedule look like this week."

"I have trial on Wednesday, until then paperwork unless a case comes up. I've book off Thursday afternoon and Friday so we can go away if we are still up for it."

"We're still up for it."

The rest of the dinner went by with them talking about childhood and ex's while feasting on fresh ravioli. "My place or yours?"

Kate looked up at Amy as she finished off her plate, "um, yours, that we can stay in bed as long as possible."

"You have anywhere to be tomorrow?"

"I have a lunch with my partner, but I'll just do the same as today, borrow some stuff, then run by my place as get something to wear on Monday."

"Oh so you'll be staying tomorrow night."

"Bet your ass, my weekend is not over till Monday. Come on," Kate stood up and grabbed her coat and put it on before pulling out Amy's chair. She bent down, "my turn." Amy stood up and Kate placed her coat on. The two walked over to the till, Kate pulling out her wallet,

"Maria, thank you for a lovely evening."

"Kate, dear don't even think about paying, you two were our guests."

"Thank you Maria."

"Before you go, a little something for dessert." Maria handed Kate a box.

"Thanks." Kate was once again pulled into a hug.

"Thank you Maria, we'll have to have you two by the bar for lunch on day." Amy hugged Maria then turned to Kate who placed her arm around Amy's waist and walked her out to the street.

"Cannolis," Kate said peeking into the box, "I hope she doesn't know how we are going to eat them." Kate laughed pulling Amy close, nibbling her neck while Amy hailed a cab.

"Your drunk," Amy held Kate with one arm while the other was up in the air.

"Just deliriously happy. Thank you for taking me, lets just hope this ends better then with Steve."

"While you have two things going for you that he didn't." Just then a cab pulled up and Amy dragged Kate in, giving her address.

"Yah, what," Kate turned Amy's face towards her, foreheads leaning against each other.

"You're hot as hell, and you have amazing tits." Amy leaned in giving Kate a kiss.

"That would be three," Kate pulled out of kiss and leaned her head back. Amy rested her head on Kate's shoulder, running her fingers across Kate's chest.

"I like you being this person."

"I like being this person with you." The two rode in silence until the cab pulled up beside the bar, "can you just go around back." Kate asked the driver. During the ride, Amy had unbuttoned a few of Kate's buttons and was running her fingers across the hot flash of Kate's breast. They needed to be alone and fast, not walking through a crowded bar. The cab stopped outside the back door. Amy got out while Kate paid the driver. She was busy unlocking the door when Kate came up behind her, her arms running around her body. "I wanted this all night, and you didn't make the ride any easier." Kate bit on of Amy's ears as the door finally unlocked. Inside, as soon as the door closed, Amy as against the wall. She ripped the blouse open her mouth roughly kiss and biting Amy's breasts. Amy's hands went to Kate's hair, treading it threw her fingers. Kate's fingers quickly undid Amy pants and slid her hand down, pushing her panties aside and sliding her fingers in. Kate nibbled her way back up to Amy's mouth as the two battle to dominance with their tongues. Kate's felt Amy's breaths changes and added a third finger and with a few twists swallowed her cries. Kate held Amy against the wall kissing her while she came down off her high. Soon the breathing returned to normal and Kate pulled back, "I couldn't wait."

"I know the feeling." Amy ran her hand down Kate's chest rubbing her, "come on, let's go upstairs."

Kate bent down to pick up the box while Amy made her way upstairs. By the time Kate made it up, Amy was removing her shoes. Kate placed the dessert on the table and walked over, kneeling down and took the shoes placing them down. She then reached up and grabbing the waist of Amy's jeans and pulled them. Amy lifted her hips allowing Kate to pull them down.

"Dance with me." Kate stood up and held out a hand for Amy, pulling her up. Amy went over and turned on the music while Kate slipped out of shoes. She was still sitting on the couch when Amy turned around. Like with Kate, Amy knelt down in front of Kate and slowly peeled off her pants. Amy helped Kate up and pulled her into her embrace. The two moved slowly in the middle of the room, heads resting on each other shoulders.

"Thank you again for tonight, it was glimpse into your world."

"I want to share with you. Kate, this is the most complete I have ever felt. I want you in my life."

"I want you in mine too." Kate pulled back and held out her hand. Amy grabbed it and Kate led them upstairs, not forgetting to grab dessert on the way.
