'Gandalf, don´t annoy my date, will you?' Bea was back at the bar and frowned worriedly at Thorin.

'Aye, your date.' Gandalf grinned widely. 'An astonishing couple you two are making. Very interesting.' With a mysterious blink he turned around and left Thorin and Bea at the bar.

'He is a weird old man. Both my bosses actually are.' Bea stated and made Thorin laugh.

'Dwalin will be so pleased to hear that.' Thorin laughed at Beas shocked face.

'I meant Saruman and Gandalf!' she exclaimed. 'I would never think of Dwalin as an old man. Where have you two met by the way?'

Oh -oh. 'We, uhm...we grew up in the same neighbourhood.' Thorin had not seen the question coming and struggled to come up with a decent story.

'You two grew up together? But you can´t be the same age!' Bea continued asking.

Thorin smiled at Bea. 'Why should Dwalin and I not be the same age?'

'Well, first of all he has no hair. And he is grumpy.' Bea grinned at Thorin. 'You have alot of hair.'

'And am I grumpy?' Thorin smirked as Bea bit her lip, he loved when she did that.

'Well...' Bea chuckled but was interupted by Tauriel and Arwen. Thorin let his head fall forward in despair. Not one minute of peace was given them.

'Bea, Arwen and I will leave. If that guy hits on me again I will nail him to the ceiling with his balls.' Tauriel growled and Thorin could hear a snigger in his ear, Kili.

'Shall I bring you home?' Thorin did not want to, but he was raised a gentleman.

'Are you kidding?' Arwen scolded him. 'You two have so much fun and we would hate to disturb your night.'

'Yeah...we would hate it...' Tauriel shot another glare at Thorin and made the "I am watching you" gesture again as they left.

'Bye, honey, have fun!' Arwen laughed and dragged Tauriel away with her.

Bea shook her head at her friends and smiled at Thorin. 'Tauriel likes you.' she commented and Thorin sighed heavily.

'You want to leave?' Bea looked at Thorin questioningly. 'You do not seem to enjoy the party.'

Oh and how much he enjoyed it, if it would not be for his collegues watching everyone of his steps. Thorin looked at Bea and saw the humorous gleam in her eyes.

'We could drive to the outlook by the bay?' Bea suggested. 'Nobody will disturb us there. Well, maybe some voluptious teenagers, but what the hell, they´re probably more occupied with themselves.'

Bea chuckled as Thorin wordlessly grabbed her hand and nearly ran out of the bar with her. Thorin knew that he was on duty, but it was Bofurs and Filis turn to spy on Saruman now and he needed to spend some time with Bea. As he helped Bea into the car and walked over to his side he quickly got rid of the mic and the camera. Bea had tugged up her legs and smiled at Thorin sweetly as he sat down behind the wheel.

'You are really driving us to the bay?' she grinned and bit her lip.

Thorin needed to take a deep breath before he started the car. 'Sure, as mylady wished.'

Bea chuckled and leaned back in her seat, staring out of the window dreamingly as they drove through the streets of San Fransisco. They arrived at the bay a few moments later and Bea could not tear her gaze away from the Golden Gate Bridge. She had taken off her shoes and curled her toes in the warm sand of the outlook. As she turned around again she saw that Thorin had laid his jacket over the engine hood of the car and patted onto it, gesturing her to sit down on it. With an amused expression Bea walked over to him and looked down at the engine hood. Before she could worry about getting up Thorin grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up. As he made her sit down on the car they came close again, as close as in the bar at the party, but before their lips could meet Bea grinned and moved backwards onto his jacket. She patted the jacket and gestured him to sit down beside her, making him grin with anticipation. Thorin climbed onto the engine hood and sat down beside her. Leaning down against the windshield he pulled Bea into his arms and felt his stomach twitch as Bea cuddled up against his body and rested her hand over his chest.

'This is nice.' Bea mumbled against his chest.

'Nice? Just nice?' Thorin placed his hand on her waist and gently started stroking her through the fabric of the dress.

Bea looked up at him and leaned her chin onto his shoulder, her eyes sparkling mysteriously. 'We will see.'

Thorin looked down at his dates eyes which sparkled like the stars in the sky above them. It was the perfect moment for a kiss, but he was petrified. Bea smirked at him playfully and pulled herself up to lean into him. She wrapped one of her legs over his waist and her hands caressed his chest as she lowered her head for a kiss. Their lips met in a sweet and soft kiss and Thorin was in heaven. His hands moved to Beas lower back and pressed her closer into his body. Bea moaned as his palms moved further down her leg laying over his waist and deepened the kiss.

'Its not the third date, yet.' Thorin smirked as they broke the kiss to catch some air.

Bea cocked an eyebrow at him. 'Well, if we count the party and this seperately it is.' Slowly she moved up till she straddled him. She usually did not move this quickly during dates, but Thorin and her had been dancing around for almost two months now and Bea wanted more. As their lips met again Thorins hands moved to Beas neck, pulling her down as his tongue invaded her mouth. Beas moan nearly drive Thorin mad. He wanted to take her right there on his car, but he would not disgrace their first time by taking her on his car in public.

Someone clearing his throat woke Thorin from his oblivion. 'Excuse me, aren't you two too old for this?' A policeman pointed his light at Bea and Thorin and cocked his eyebrow at them. Bea jumped back from Thorin and frowned at the policeman. Thorin was too occupied with getting his emotions straight that he did not see the glint of recognition on the policemans face as he looked at Bea.

'I am sorry, officer. Won't happen again.' Bea blinked and tried her most innocent smile. This time Thorin saw the hard look behind Beas smile.

'Please see to it that you continue your...date...in private.' the policeman frowned and left before Thorin could say something.

'Damm.' Bea muttered and made Thorin smirk.

'Did you know this man?' Thorin asked Bea who paled.

'No.' she murmured. 'Its just...this was kinda embarassing. Maybe we should move to your place? We have even less privacy at my apartment with Tauriel and Arwen around.'

The thought of actually spending the night with Bea caught Thorin off guard and he ignored the alarm bells inside of his brains. 'This should be the right moment to tell you that I live in a house together with your ex boyfriend, Fili.'

'You are screwing with me?!' Bea looked at him in horror.

Thorin had to bite his lip to not say something about actually screwing her and he managed. 'Nope. One house, four men. You met them all at Dwalins.'

'Oh.' Bea was surprised. 'Well, it seems sex is off the table then. Forever.'

Thorin grinned at her. He loved her being so honest about that particular topic. 'Tauriel and Arwen went to another club. They should not be back shortly.'

Bea was off the car in an instant. 'What are you waiting for, Oakenshield? My place, now!'

Thorin and Bea made it from the car to Beas room without breaking the kiss and nearly without breaking anything besides a small lamp in the living room.

'My room is the left one...sorry the other left.' Bea instructed Thorin and chuckled as he growled as answer to her wrong direction. As soon as the door closed behind them Thorin set Bea down on her feet and took a quick look around. Her room was really small and contained only a bed, a desk and a wardrobe. But is was cozy and neat and was all Bea. Thorin did have a bad conscience though. He was neglecting his duties as an agent and he was betraying Beas trust. He was not the photographer Oakenshield and he was not solely Filis collegue. But he did like her. Suddenly Thorin did not know wether to continue or not.

'What is it?' Bea looked at him worriedly. She had felt him tense and could see that he was distracted by something.

'Its nothing.' Thorin lied. 'I just...I am not sure about this...us.' he hated himself the moment he had said it.

'You are kidding?' Bea stared at him with big eyes. 'Whats wrong all of a sudden?'

Thorin laid his forehead against hers and sighed deeply. 'I am sorry, Bea. Please don't hate me.'

Bea did not understand the sudden mood change. She could feel that Thorin wanted her and she did not understand his struggle.

'Is it because we work together? Is this a problem for you?' she asked, waiting for an explanation.

'In a way. Yes.' Thorin muttered. At least that was partly the reason.

Suddenly Beas expression went hard. 'Fili behaved the same way. He did not speak to me, nor did he show me that something was wrong.' both knew that Fili and Bea had broken up in bad terms. 'Please leave.'

'Bea...' Thorin was actually relieved that she interrupted him, because he did not know what to say. He onlyknew one thing, that this was one of the hardest things he had to do.

'Leave.' Bea stepped back and watched him as he grabbed his jacket and went for the door. As he turned around she turned her back at him and walked to the window. Bea remained there until she saw his car drive down the road and out of sight. As much as his rejection had hurt, it also had something of a closure. Bea curled up on her bed and did not even bother to change out of her dress. She fell asleep and did not hear Tauriel and Arwen return from the club. They would have alot to talk about the next day.
