"I can't fit that in my mouth"
"That has a horrible taste."
"Can you please stop shoving it down my throat."
It was a normal morning, they had been called in early so everyone was sleepy. Still, when Tommy and Eva arrived together Hickman smirked.
They were working a huge case and Tommy and Eva had volunteered to go out and grab breakfast for everyone. Sebastian decided to go to the kitchen to see if he could find some strings. That was when he heard something he wasn't supposed to hear.
Eva eyed the monstrosity in front of her.
"What on earth is that?"
Tommy gave her a look.
"I'm pretty sure you know the answer to that."
Eva tilted her head, eyes wide.
"It's so big."
She licked her lips.
"I' don't think I can fit that in my mouth."
Sebastian who was walking by froze and closed his eyes backing away from the doorway.
He was not going to touch the topic of Tommy and Eva with a twenty-foot pole.
He didn't really need string. He hurried away and tried to get what he overheard out of his mind. A few minutes later they came in bags of breakfast in their arms and a cupholder full of delicious warm coffee.
Sebastian refused to look at them.
Later that evening as Tommy and Eva went to the bar, they talked about it.
"Was it just me or was Sebastian acting weird today?"
"He was but it was probably nothing."
Eva sighed and threw back her shot.
"Another one! He's buying!" The bartender nodded and poured some liquid into the glass.
Tommy groaned and bumped their shoulders together.
"Should have known better than to bet against you."
"In your defense, it took a lot of willpower. I honestly didn't think I would be able to fit that whole muffin in my mouth."
Hickman hated staying late for paperwork. He despised it but it was a necessary evil.
So here he was, finishing up paperwork, late at night. He rubbed his eyes feeling tired and decided to head to the kitchen to see if he could find some coffee.
Eva and Tommy had left for the kitchen earlier to make some. He had no idea if they were eating or had gone home, as the two had taken their stuff with them.
As he approached the kitchen, he heard voices and figured that it was Tommy and Eva. Knowing them, they probably had gotten distracted fighting.
He heard gagging.
"That taste horrible Tommy! I don't understand why so many people like it."
"You just need to get used to the taste."
Hickman backed away from the door, no longer needing coffee. He was wide awake and felt sick to his stomach, it was one thing to tease the two about them dating, it was another to know they had no qualm about having sex at headquarters, in their kitchen, where they ate.
Eva looked up at Tomy.
"Did you hear something?"
He shook his head and Eva sighed.
She pushed the bottle into his hand.
"That was horrible, never again. "
"It's not that bad."
"I will stick to my heavily sugared coffee instead of your devil black coffee."
Tommy laughed and chugged the coffee and threw an arm around the red-haired woman.
"Let us go, mi amour."
Eva rolled her eyes but let him lead her outside to where his motorcycle was waiting for them.
Louis was not one to meddle affairs of his employees and co-workers. So when he noticed that Eva and Tommy seemed to be a little too bit comfortable he didn't say a word, if they were dating that was their business, but he would have liked it if they told them as he thought of them as one family but they had a right to their privacy. He just didn't want it affecting their performance in the field or bothering people in headquarters.
He was heading to the break room. His wife had been in a very good mood had baked him a delicious cake and made him his favorite meal. He was eager to heat it up and enjoy it, he paused outside the kitchen, hearing raised voices.
"For fucks sakes Tommy! Will you please stop trying to shove it down my fucking throat. I get enough of it at home, I don't need you to do this to me at work too."
"Eva."
He heard something slam and then a squeal.
"Tommy!"
There was another slam and he heard a soft sigh and then moan and he backed away.
He would get his lunch once they came out of the break room. He made a mental note to ask someone to buy a new table and to burn the old one, promptly.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen Tommy was holding Eva close.
"I don't mean to put pressure on you but it would mean a lot to me if you came to the wedding with me, Eva. I want to show you off, I want to tell the world that you are my girl. I want my family to know you. Look you saw how they can be, travelers aren't accepting of strangers or the forgiving type, yet they asked me to come back and told me to bring someone, I want it to be you. I want to bring you home to my Ma."
"I know I'm just scared. What if they don't like me?"
"My mother loves you."
"Tommy."
"Look just think about it, I need to know by the end of the week."
Eva sighed and locked her arms around his neck and he leaned forward to give her a light kiss, one hand on her side, the other cupping her cheek gently.
"I love you, Tommy." She said as he pulled away.
"And I love you, Eva." He helped her off the table and she squeezed his hand before letting it go.
He watched her walk away and then his phone rang.
"Did you find it?"
"Thank you so much, Ma. This means a lot to me."
"I hope she loves it."
Almost done! I have a few more chapters and then I will be signing off here!
Love you wallflowers!
