I am super happy with where this story is going. :)
Thanks to everyone who reviews, It really motivates me to write more and better.
Special thanks to saides who has reviewed every chapter. :) It means a lot.
They were meant to be together.
Parker finally pulled away, in need of oxygen. She smiled as he rested his forehead against hers.
"This," She motioned to the two of them, "Won't be normal."
Eliot laughed, "Hun, nothing we do is normal. What makes you think this will be different." He said with a smile.
She laughed. "I guess so." She replied before hopping up. "I want food." She practically demanded. "Make me food?"
He smiled, stood up and motioned for her to go first. "After you." She smiled and practically skipped to the kitchen. He chuckled and followed her.
He got in there and saw she had layed out all the stuff for pot pies. He smiled again and got to work.
"Parker, Go ask Nate and Sophie if they want any." She saluted him and went and asked. He shook his head and went back to what he was doing. He was surprised when Parker popped up behind him, startling him slightly.
"Dammit Parker. How many times have I told you not to do that?"
She plopped down in a chair, unfazed by his anger and answered, "147 times, Eliot. And Nate and Sophie both want some"
He stood there with his mouth hanging open. "How did you...What.. Never mind." He grumbled and went back to cooking. He missed the smile that graced her lips as he turned around.
"Is it almost done?" She whined a while after the food had been put in the oven.
"Yes Parker, be patient."
"But I'm hungry," She drew out the word. He had to remind himself this was Parker.
He smiled and slowly walked toward her, putting his hands on either arm rests. She leaned back with a smile.
He kissed her mouth lightly and pulled away slightly and smiled. He proceeded to kiss a like from her mouth, along her jaw to her ear. He whispered to her, "Are you still hungry?" He bit her earlobe and stepped back leaning against the counter.
"That's not fair," She said with a smile.
He laughed, "Of course it it." With that the timer went off and he pulled the food out of the oven.
He turned around and looked at her smirking. He just shook his head and smiled as Nate and Sophie walked in and sat down. Sophie starting a quiet conversation with Parker as Nate came over to him.
Eliot was getting everything so he could serve it and Nate put his hand on Eliot's shoulder. Eliot looked at him.
Nate gave him a look he had seen before. It was the same look that Amy's dad had given him when he had found out about them. "I know that you and Parker will be able to keep it out of work." He stated, "She's almost like a daughter to me and if you hurt her," He paused, "I won't hesitate to hurt you."
Eliot nodded, "If I hurt her,"He glanced at Parker, "I'll let you."
Nate nodded, "I'm happy for you two. Now, let's eat." He smiled and sat down.
Parker hesitated. "Where's Hardison?"
"I saw him leave about an hour ago. He looked a little upset." Sophie explained.
Eliot thought for a second and realized Hardison must have seen them kissing. He hopped he wasn't doing anything stupid. The hacker was like his brother, he didn't want to see him hurt.
Parker had started eating but her brow was crinkled and it looked as if she was deep in thought. Eliot smiled at her as she proceeded to almost miss her mouth, she was so deep in thought.
Nate had saw this and laughed, pulling her out of her little trance. Eliot and Parker shared a glance and they both smiled and went back to eating while Sophie and Nate had a conversation on one of their more recent cons.
Parker leaned over to Eliot and whispered, "We need to find Hardison after this." She had a serious look on her face. He nodded.
After everyone was done, Eliot cleaned everything up, not wanting to be a bother to Nate. This was his house after all.
As soon as he was done, Parker dragged him out of the apartment. Getting funny looks from Nate and Sophie both, but neither asked.
Parker hopped into the passenger seat of his truck. He gave her a funny look, "Parker, I don't have my keys." Eliot stated.
At that, she held up the keys and smiled he shook his head and mumbled, 'Crazy chick,' to himself. He hopped in the truck and started to drive. He didn't know where but he drove.
"Where are we supposed to look for him, Parker?"
She scrunched up her face, "Where would a Hardison go?" She thought out loud. "That one electronic store a few blocks from his house. He goes there a lot." Eliot didn't question it and followed her directions to the store.
He put the car in park and waited. Not even sure if he was here. "Do you wanna go in and see if he's here?" He looked over to her. She shook her head.
"He knows he can get away from easy if he see's me. Maybe you should go in." He nodded and hopped out of the car, set on finding Hardison.
Parker watched as he entered the store, coming out a few minutes later shaking his head. She slumped down in her seat, thinking of places where Hardison would go.
Eliot got in and started the car. "His house?" He asked.
Parker gave him the directions. When they got there they saw 'Lucille' his van, parked in front of the building.
"Let's both go in," Eliot offered. Parker nodded and they both exited the truck.
She led the way up to his apartment and knocked on the door. Eliot was standing off to the side so that only Parker was visible to the peep-hole.
The door opened and standing in the door was not Hardison, but a very attractive, mocha skinned women. They were both stunned to say the least. Parker was about to say something but Eliot butted in,
"Sorry, we must have got the wrong address. Have a good day." He nodded and dragged a stunned Parker leaving a very confused women in the doorway.
"Who was she?" Parker asked as soon as he closed his door to the truck.
"I wouldn't know, darlin'. That's Hardison's business, not ours. We'll talk to him the next time he comes in to the office."
She just looked straight ahead and nodded. Eliot drove them back to Nate's in silence. Eliot walked in the front door quietly, no Parker. She had wanted to go through a way other then the door.
He was surprised when Parker grabbed him and pulled him out of veiw of the living room area.
"Parker, are you crazy!" He whisper yelled, "I could've killed you!" She gave him a Parker look.
"No, you couldn't have."She whispered back, "But that's not the point. "Nate and Sophie were making out on the couch when I came in!"
OK, sorry for stopping there but I was having a hard time finding a place to stop.
So let's *review*, Hardison has a girl, Nate and Sophie are "together" (maybe?), and Parker and Eliot shall go on a date next chapter as requested by Through Darkness.
The review button needs a new best friend. :)
