I know I promised this chapter would be longer but...I just I hit bad writer's block with it...which is why it hasn't been updated...so I gave it my best shot...I apologize ahead of time for it.
Chapter Seven: Six Months Later
Matt stood next to Temple, both with shovels in their hands. Matt smiled contently, before digging his shovel in the mound of rumble that used to be FBI Los Angeles. He pulled out a red stapler and smiled at the small device. He grabbed a hold of it and looked it over.
"Matt man, you don't want that. It's all burnt up, look at it," Temple said, motioning toward the small stapler.
"No Temp...but I know someone who'll want it," Matt smiled, before shoving it into his pocket.
He whipped his head around at the sound of a beep. He walked toward the car, and saw that it was his two friends Lia and Duff.
"Hey guys," Matt smiled, shaking their hands.
"Hey Matt, we're uh...we're good right?" Duff asked.
"Yeah, I think most of it burnt up in the fire," Matt said, looking around the rumble a little.
"You know, we can help get you a job in the San Fransisco office," Lia said.
"No thank you guys. I'm good here, happy even," Matt's smile grew wider.
"Well, if you change your mind, just let us know," Lia said.
"Yeah, hey you wanna grab some lunch with us?" Duff asked.
"Nah...I brought mine in a pail, plus Em's coming by a little later," Matt said, sighing contently.
"So how are things with Emily?" Lia asked, who had taken quite a shining to Emily.
"Things are great, I think I might love her," Matt grinned, as he heard Emily giggling behind him.
"Speaking of..." Duff let his sentence trail off.
"I see you were talking about me," Emily said, as she raised one eyebrow, and gave him a dimpled grin.
"I'm always talking about you," Matt smiled before capturing her lips in his.
"Okay...gross, let's go," Duff said, as he climbed into the driver's seat.
"I think it's romantic...and cute...and sweet, and bye Matt," Lia said, as Duff pulled her into his lap, knowing she wouldn't get into the car on her own free will.
"Bye guys, I'll call you later," Matt said, as Emily waved at them.
"Bye lovebirds," Duff snickered, before Lia smacked his chest, and waved her own goodbye.
"So...is it lunchtime yet?" Emily asked, her eyebrow raised in seductive way.
"You know it," Matt grinned, before running toward Temple.
"Hey man, can I take my lunch?" Matt asked.
"Yeah sure man, you get an hour, think that'll be enough?" Temple asked, nodding his head in Emily's direction.
"Funny Temp, and yeah that'll be fine," Matt grinned before making his way back toward Emily.
"So, you ready?" Emily asked, her arm snaking around Matt's waist, as his followed.
"You know it," Matt said, as they started to walk back to Emily's car.
Half and Hour Later
Matt wrapped his arm tighter around Emily's body, bringing her closer to him.
"Matt, what's wrong?" Emily asked.
"Nothing's wrong," Matt said, as he pulled her even closer.
"Are you sure?" Emily asked.
"Postive," Matt said, a small smile on his face.
"Then why are you holding me so tightly?" Emily asked, as she tried to move her body just a little bit.
"I guess I was just trying to tell you how much I care about you...How much I love you, by holding you," Matt said, before he relaized what he had said.
"You love me?" Emily asked, her eyes a little wider.
"Yeah, I do...Does that scare you?" Matt asked.
"No, it doesn't, because I love you too," Emily smiled before pressing her lips to his.
