Part 8
Bosco had kept his own apartment, they thought it would be better for them to have the possibility to spent some time apart. But he hadn't used it since there first night together, they even talked about him to give notice to his landlord.
Faith came home from Haggertys, expecting him to be home already, but he wasn't there. She waited up for him but three hours later he still wasn't there. She tried calling him but she only got his answering machine.
„Bosco, it's me. I'm worried, where are you?! Please call me back... Don't be mad at me... I.... Just call me back and let me explain", realizing he wouldn't answer her, she left him a message.

The next day Davis made sure to be early to talk to Sully.
„Sully, I have to tell you something", he said as soon as Sully came into the locker room.
„What, you got a new girlfriend?"
„No, you won't believe it. We were at Haggertys, yesterday. Connors was there, too and he hit on Faith.."
„So, what's new?"
„Bosco, was really mad.. They got in a fight"
„Bosco doesn't like Connors very much. Beside, you know how he is concerning Faith.."
„Yeah, but let me finish! They yelled at each other and Bosco told him to keep his hands off Faith because she's his wife!", Ty looked exactingly at Sully, but Sully just laughed.
„Bosco and Faith married? Come one, that's ridiculous. Bosco is a ladies men, I can't imagine that he is one for only one girl. And Faith knows that, why should she marry him? I'm sure they just played a joke on you... Perhaps they told Connors that that he leaves Faith alone"
„ Bosco is a whole other person with Faith then with anyone else. She knows lots of things about him we don't. I'm sure there's something under his shell that would surprise us. And they always find back to each other, no matter what happened, why is that? And why would she stay partners and especially friends with him if he really is the jerk you think he is? I really thought they were married when I first met them. Beside, after Bosco told us they are married they had a fight and Bosco took off.."
„Okay, he may not be the self centered person he wants us to think. And I do think they make a great couple, when Faith isn't the one for him, then no one is. But if they got married, we didn't they tell us?"
„Perhaps they don't want to talk about them like we do it know. I'm sure they don't want to explain themselves to all of us."
„We aren't that bad! If they are married then I'm sure they are in love and know what they are doing. And I respect that"
„I know one thing for sure, I'm gonna find out if they really are married," Ty stated before leaving the locker room.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Bosco had ignored Faith all day, he only talked to her when it was absolutely necessary.
Every time Faith tried to talked to him he told her off „Not right now"
They both were in a bad mood as they return to locker room after there shift, not speaking at all.
„Hey, guys! We all meet at Haggertys to have a drink or two, you two coming with us?"
Faith wasn't really in the mood after all what happened but after Bosco agreed, she decided to with them, too. She hoped she would get a chance to talk to Bosco and make things right before it was too late.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Bosco headed straight to the bathroom when they arrived. Coming out again, Ty stood on front of him.
„Hey, I meet to really cute blonde's. They want to meet you..", he told Bosco.
„Ty, I'm not really in the mood, sorry!"
„Come on, I'm sure your mood will get better when you meet them.."
„You know, you're right.. Introduce me to them", Bosco finally agreed as he saw Faith talking to the new paramedic.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Faith had sat down on a table with Sully, Doc, Kim and the new paramedic.
„I think we haven't met! I'm Ben, I'm the new paramedic", Ben introduced himself to Faith.
„Faith, nice to meet you", Faith said, shaking his hand.
„Kim told me you've got to kids.."
„Yeah, a girl and a boy", she answered, looking accusingly to Kim.
„He's single and cute... You have to start dating again", Kim whispered to her.
„That must be hard, I know how it is. I'm divorced myself and raise my daughters alone. Perhaps we should go to the park with the kids sometimes.", Ben offered.
Faith didn't react at first, she starred at Bosco, who sat with Ty and the two women. He seemed to enjoy himself with them.
„What? Sorry, that would be nice", she finally answered, never taking her eyes off Bosco. She felt extremely jealous, but tried to hide this from the others.
„Perhaps afterwards we can have dinner and a glass off wine together, some adult conversation, getting to know each other better...", Ben smiled at her, covering her hand with his.
Meanwhile one of the girls got more friendly with Bosco, she had but one hand on his leg and started to stoke up and down. Leaning in, she looked deep in his eyes and tried to kiss him.
Faith thought her heart stopped to beat for a few seconds. But Bosco immediately pushed the woman aside, and stood up. He held his hands up as she tried to speak to him, turned around ans started walking toward Faith. He stopped dead in his tracks as he saw that Ben holding Faith hand. After starring a few moments he turned around, towards the restrooms again.
That was the first time Faith realised that Ben was holding her hand and talking to her.
Pulling her hand free,she looked at him „I'm sorry Ben, you are a really nice guy but I'm married..."
„Married? I'm sorry, Kim told me you got recently divorced"
Everyone at the table looked at her, their mouth's nearly on the floor.
„That's true, but I got remarried a few weeks ago....She doesn't know that", Faith apologised.
Without saying anything else she stood up and hurried after Bosco.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
„Bosco, wait! I'm sorry for the way I acted yesterday...", Faith said as she reached Bosco in front of the men's room.
„No, you have nothing to be sorry about. I had no right to tell Connors that we are married. I realized that I wanted you to be my wife so much that I forgot about your feelings. You don't love me and I have to accept it. I never wanted to hurt you, I'm gonna meet with a lawyer first thing on Monday and let him draw up divorce papers."
„Bos...."
„Don't say anything. I can't hear it right know, I need to get over this first. Go back to that paramedic. I heard he has kids, too. He seems like a nice guy, I'm sure he is good for you"
„Why did you push that woman aside", Faith suddenly asked.
„I'm married to you and even if it no real marriage I'm true to my word. Besides, I'm in love with another woman.."
Without saying anything Faith throw her arms around Boscos neck, pulling him in a tight hug.
„I need to tell you something, Bos. I'm sorry for the way I acted but I was afraid... I thought that you would wake up and realize that I'm not one of your supermodel girlfriends but your divorced partner, a mother of two. That you realize I'm not the one you want and I was afraid what everyone would say. That they would say how foolish of me it was to think that someone like you could love someone like me. What they would say about me getting divorced a second time.... I guess in some ways I couldn't believe that you love me"
„I told you so! I would never lie to you!"
„I know, that's not what I meant. I know you wouldn't lie to me about that. It's just that I thought you would fall out of love with me.... I'm sorry, nothing of this would have happened if I had told you that I love you, too. I tried to protect myself, because I fell in love with you more every day. It has nothing to do with me being ashamed of you, in fact I know lots of woman who would do lots of things to be with you."
Bosco pulled back a bit, taking her face in his hand. „Say that again"
„I love you! I love you more then I ever thought was possible. I...."
She couldn't say anything more because Bosco had pushed her against the wall and was kissing her for all he was worth.
„ I love you, Faith! More then anything or anyone before"
Reluctantly they pulled apart, before things got out of hand.
„I guess we have some things to explain...", Faith stated.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone looked at Bosco and Faith, as they came back to the table, holding hands. Bosco sat down on the chair Faith had occupied before and pulled her into his lap.
„You guys are really married? I knew it," Ty started.
„But why didn't you tell us?", Kim asked, „I why weren't we invited."
Bosco held his hand up.
„We got married in Vegas, that's why no one knew about it. It was kind of a spontaneous decision.", he explained.
„And why we didn't tell you sooner is kind of privat," Faith added.
„But don't worry guys, I intend to have a second wedding with all of you there. To make it official...", Bosco grinned, „And to have a honeymoon we didn't get the first time...
„If that's okay with you," he added after he saw Faith shocked expression, „we have to get started on making those baby's I promised you"
„A big wedding would be nice", she smiled at him „ To show everyone that you are officially taken and mine!"
