Like I said last chapter, this is mostly Shules and about their date. Shawn may be a little out of character but I think this works well.

I do not own Psych or else Shawn and Juliet would be married by now :D


Juliet POV

Once we were finished at the crime scene Gus and Shawn and gone back to the little office space they'd rented. They called their business "Psych" because Shawn claimed he could pass off as a pretty good psychic. Gus argued that he would look stupid doing so, but when did Shawn listen?

"You alright O'Hara?" Lassiter asked walking over to my desk.

"Um yes, why?" I looked up at him.

"You seem… distracted." He shrugged.

"Oh well…"

"I don't care, as long as it doesn't mess with your work. Speaking of work, these are due today." He set a big pile of papers on my desk. My eyes widened, it would take me hours to finish all of this.

"I can't tonight," I voiced as he turned around.

"What?" he turned towards me.

"I have plans tonight," I said which was true. Shawn and I had arranged for our date to be tonight.

"Then you'd better get started or reschedule your plans." He said.

"This is all of your paperwork, I finished mine." He began to speak but I cut him off, "Detective this is your paperwork, therefore it is your responsibly to do it. Not mine." His teeth clenched, and his jaw locked.

"Well O'Hara I'm head detective, you are a junior detective. We are partners therefore it is our paperwork. Now do it." He then walked away before I could protest. I sighed and looked down at the pile of work. I looked at the wall clock; I had three hours until my date with Shawn. I grabbed my pen and started going through the mountain of paper. Within minutes the room slowly darkened and my head lulled foreword. The next thing I knew someone was holding onto my shoulder.

"Jules? Are you okay?" Shawn asked he sounded concerned, hurt and sad.

"Huh?" I looked up at him confused. I turned my head to the clock and my eyes widened. I was supposed to meet him over an hour ago. "On my gosh! I'm so sorry Shawn! I must have fallen asleep!" I apologized. He shrugged and looked at me closely. He was wearing a nice pair of jeans, and a striped buttoned down shirt. His hair was combed neatly without any gel and he had shaved. He looked down right attractive.

"It's fine Jules," he whispered. He didn't even seemed fazed that'd I'd missed our date, hurt yes but unsurprised.

"Why are you okay with it?"

"I've been stood up before." He smiled sheepishly.

"I didn't mean to stand you up Shawn. I was really looking forward to our date and I messed it up." I sighed. I had actually been looking forward to this date. I was going to go home, take a shower, and change. Put on some makeup before we met at the restaurant.

"You didn't mess it up Jules. I honestly wasn't amazed when I waited for a few minutes and you didn't show. I waited for about another hour before I left, knowing you weren't gonna show." He confessed. He removed his hand from my shoulder and moved it to his pocket.

"I'm really sorry Shawn," I apologized again.

"It's okay Jules." He said.

"No it isn't! I was… we were supposed to go out and- Mmpfh!" I was cut off from talking when he out of nowhere kissed me. At first his lips moved against my still ones but soon my lips began to groove with his. The kiss was so amazing; it sent tingles down my spine.

His hand went up and rested on the back of my neck as his tongue swept across my bottom lip begging for entrance. I allowed the welcome intrusion, and boy I was glad I did. His other hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to him. This was good for, my knees where shaking and weak. We both pulled out of the kiss just standing there, trying to catch up on air.

"Jules I didn't mean to- I'm sorry." He said quickly backing up. My eyes still closed I opened them slowly and touched my swollen lips.

"That was… wow." He nodded and licked his lips, "Why'd you do that?"

"You were rambling Jules, so I kissed you. That's how they do it in the movies," he smiled.

"Yeah," I chuckled. My stomach roared ruining the moment; I placed a hand on it and smiled.

"Hey you missed dinner Jules, you gotta be hungry. What do you say I get you something to eat?" he offered.

"I'd like that," I nodded.

"Grab your purse and whatever else you need." He told me.

Shawn POV

Juliet turned around and fumbled for things, putting them in her purse. When she hadn't shown up at the restaurant… my first thought had been something had happened. She was hurt or her car broke down and she forgot her cell. But after an hour of waiting, I got tired of it and I left. The waitress had made several passes at me.

"So… you're still here, alone. I have a break in about ten minutes. Can I join you?" The waitress Beth asked. She was wearing the standard uniform of a black skirt, white shirt and her hair in a bun. She had long black hair, and dark red lips.

"I'm waiting for someone." I told her.

"A wife? Fiancé?" she pressed.

"None of the above." I played with the wrapper from my straw.

"So single?"

"Can I help you with something?"

"Yeah, you can entrain me." She smiled.

"I told you, I'm waiting for someone.

"Well, she obviously didn't want to show up if she isn't here by now. If she is a she? Are you gay?" She investigated.

"No." I looked at her.

"Well sugar I'm here, and you're lonely join me in the back." She pointed to a white door.

"I have to go." I stood up and plopped down a twenty dollar bill. Beth touched my arm and squeezed softly. "Bye," I turned and walked quickly away.

"What? No tip?!" she yelled. I rushed out to Gus's car which I had borrowed and started the drive to his house. I just happened to have passed the station where I saw Juliet's car, and a light on inside.

I parked the car next to hers and stilled the engine. I got out of the car and walked inside the dark, quite station. The building was empty except for one occupied desk. The lamp was on, and a form was hunched over it. I walked over and cocked my head. Juliet was fast asleep on her desk, her arms acting as a pillow.

"Jules? Are you okay?" I put a hand on her shoulder and she jerked up.

"Ready," she smiled at me. I nodded and we walked outside together, our hands brushing with every movement.

"So where too?" I asked looking at her.

"What?"

"Well you're hungry, I'm hungry. Pick a place," I explained.

"I'm still kinda new here and I don't know many places…" she trailed off looking up at the sky.

"Then follow me I know a good place." She nodded and walked over to her car. I got into Gus's and thought for a moment on where exactly I wanted to take her. Then the perfect place came to mind, I drove away and she followed me in her car. We drove for about ten minutes before I pulled up to a small diner. The diner had yellow walls on the outside and inside, with a green door. I got out of my car and rushed over to Juliet's, I opened the door for her.

"Wow Shawn, not only do you clean up nicely, you're a gentleman as well." She mused.

"Don't get used to it," I smiled. She chuckled and shut her door softly. "Come inside," I grabbed her hand and led her inside the diner.

"Hey Shawn," Mickey from behind the counter nodded at me.

"Hey Mick." I raised a hand.

"You know him?" Juliet asked glancing uneasily at Mickey.

"He's completely harmless," I assured. She nodded and let me guide her to a booth in the back.

"This place is sweet," she sat down on the left side.

"And open twenty-four hours, lucky for us."

"How'd you find this place?" she looked around.

"I used to come here when I was kid with my parents." I admitted.

"Really?" she smirked setting her eyes on me.

"Yeah, it was close to the station where my dad worked, convenient for my mom. We ate here a lot." I told her, "Tell me about you Miss Juliet O'Hara." I leaned closer to her.

"What would you like to know?" one of her eyebrows rose.

"Anything, everything."

"Okay." She smiled wider, "Let's see, I grew up in Miami with my mom, and two brothers." I nodded. "A step father came in around the time I was ten." Juliet thought for a moment. "There's something you should know." She looked me dead in the eye.

"Yes?"

"I'm married, two kids." She joked.

"Really?"

"Yeah," she nodded.

"Who you married too?" I asked playing along.

"Johnny Depp,"

"Oh please, you could do a lot better than him." I scoffed.

"Can I?" throughout this time we'd slowly begun to move closer to each other.

"Yes," I whispered moving my head the last two inches. My lips were now centimeters from hers, I could feel her breath.

"What are you doing?" she mumbled.

"Close talking Jules," I pecked my lips and kissed the skin between her nose and upper lip. I pulled away and relaxed into my seat with a smile on my face. She chuckled and leaned back into hers.

"This could work," she said looking at me.

"Could it?" She nodded.
