Part 7:
The next few days passed without any problems. They had told Emily and Charlie that they were dating, both of them were exited and happy for them.
They spent as much time together as they could, watching TV, making dinner and going out. They had not even one fight.
Connors still made a pass on Faith regularly, asking her out for dinner or a movie, which she always denied.
Tonight they decided to go out with the guys to Haggertys, since the barbecue they all had become closer again and tried to get together regularly.
When Bosco and Faith arrived, Davis, Kim, Alex, Jimmy, Doc, Carlos and Connors were already there. They had put two tables together in the corner tow get enough room for all of them. Kim waved them over while Jimmy pulled two more chairs to the table.
„Hey, there you are. We thought you two wouldn't make it. What took you so long, Davis is here for nearly an hour?", Kim greeted.
„Sorry, we got held up," Faith apologised, while Bosco grinned, knowing that they had made out in the car.
„Hi, Faith! I saved you a chair, why don't you sit beside me. That way we can get to know each other better", Connors grinned at her and patted the chair beside him.
„Thanks, I prefer to sit beside Alex and Bosco", Faith answered, before Bosco could open his mouth. She stroked his arm to calm him and pulled him down beside her at the same time.
They talked about the calls that day and just had fun together. Connors occasionally tried to talk to Faith put she ignored him, while Bosco stared at him like he wanted to kill him.
A while later Bosco went to the bathroom, while Faith got up to get a new round of drinks. Unknown to her Connors followed her, he had had a few drinks and wanted her do dance with him. With Bosco gone he saw his chance.
„Faith, wait up! How about a dance", he asked, motioning to the small dancefloor.
„Connors, I'm not interested. Why don't you try your luck on some other woman.", she answered, turning back to the table.
Before she reached her destination, he took her by the arm.
„Come on, just one little dance. You don't know what you are missing. Beside, you partner isn't there to tell you what to do. And I can take him...."
„Take your hands off me", she said in her best cop voice, trying to get past him.
„Come on..."
„She told you to take your hands off her", Bosco appeared beside her, pulling Connors hands off her and pushing him against the wall.
„I told you to leave her alone..."
„What's wrong with you, she can do what she wants.."
„Yes, she can and she told you to leave her alone. So, get away from her.", Bosco nearly yelled at him, pushing him aside.
„Bos, come on. He's drunk...", Faith tried to soothe him. „Let's go home..."
But Connors wasn't one to accept his defeat.
„You're her partner, it doesn't concern you what she is doing...."
„Doesn't concern me? She's my wife, so keep your hand off her", this time Bosco did loose it and hit him square in the face. Before he could hit him again, Faith pulled him off Connors and out of the bar. The others just stared at them, with there mouth's hanging open. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.
„Damn it, someone could have told me that they are married.", Connors said, before going to the bathroom to cool his face.
„I think I had a few beers too much, I would swear he said that she's his wife.", Jimmy finally found his speech back.
„Then we all had to much to drink, I heard it, too", Doc answered.

„Bosco, why did you have to hit him? He's drunk!", she asked him.
„He hit on you!"
„I told him I wasn't interested!"
„I had your arm!"
„I can take care of myself, I would have told you if I needed help"
„I'm sorry, I care", he yelled angrily. „He is hitting on you since the barbecue. I'm not blind, I noticed that. And I don't want anyone hitting on MY WIFE! He stepped over the line, a few times already and now I'm tired of it. You are mine!"
„Yeah, you yelled at him loud enough for everyone to hear that"
„Oh, I'm sorry! I forget that no one is allowed to know that. I thought you are happy with me,that you love me, obviously I'm wrong. You are ashamed of me...", he turned around and walked away from her.
„Bos! Wait..."
„Leave me the hell alone!"
She stared after him, deciding to let him cool of and to give him time to get the alcohol out of his system. Right now, he was angry and wouldn't listen to her anyway. She would talk to him tonight, when he got home.
