A/n: I am sorry it took me a long time to update, was starting to doubt whether I liked were I was going with this story, coupled with writers block... oh well I hope you guys like this chapter.
Chapter 11: The Long Drive Home
Lilly's POV
Okay, ordinarily I am not the kind of girl that would just jump into bed with a guy especially if I work with him, but when he kissed me, I really don't know what came over me. Scotty was even better looking without his clothes on, and the sex...holly crap.
We now sit across from each other at a little diner, eating our cheap burgers and drinking our cokes and yet surprisingly this was the best date I'd been on in a long time. Not that I have been dating anyone lately.
I tried dating after Kite and I broke up, but the guys ranged from complete losers to the complete bastards. Scotty was different, every time he smiled at me my heart flipped and I was realised just how deep my feelings for him ran.
"So, what happens now? I mean was this a onetime thing or did you want more?" Scotty asked me
What did I want, if I was honest with myself I would want more but I am not sure that I want to risk our friendship either. I take a deep breath "I would like it to be more" I say finally and when I see a smile spreading across his face I realise I've made the right decision, he lifts my hand to his lips and presses a kiss to it.
"Great" he said "But I guess we'll have to keep this just between us, I mean it's against regulations for us to be doing this"
"That's okay, besides I think it's a lot more exciting keeping it a secret." I say and I wink at him in what I hope is a seductive way and judging by the way he is chuckling back at me, he is having the same ideas I am, damm work, all I wanna do is spend the day with Scotty. Now that I know he is attracted to me as I am attracted to him, I am just so happy all I wanna do is just spend time with him, doing other things not even remotely work related.
"So, have you forgiven me for being such an idiot?" he asked and I smiled at him. Impulsively I leant across the table and kissed him.
"Does that answer your question?" I say as I sit back down.
"Hell yeah" he said
After lunch we get back into the car, I got behind the wheel again and pulled back onto the interstate. I felt Scotty place his hand on my leg and my stomach flips, I can feel my heart start to race.
"What are you doing?" I ask him as his hand moved higher up my thigh
"Nothin'" He replies casually as he reviews the case file in his lap, I shiver slightly, holly crap. I mean all he has to do is put his hand on my leg and I am instantly turned on, and I am cursing the fact that we are currently driving cause all I want to do right now is jump him. He moves his hand off my leg and I immediately miss the contact of his warm hand on my thigh.
My phone rang and I turn to Scotty "Err...Could you get that" I say and he chuckles as he reaches across to remove my cell from its holster on my hip, pausing slightly to caress my waist
"Valens" Scotty said "Oh hey Kat, nah she drivin'. Hang on I'll put you on speaker" Scotty presses the button and I hear Kat's voice fill the car.
"You're actually letting Lil drive?" She says and I giggle at the look on Scotty's face.
"Hey I don't always have to drive" he says defensively
"I had to wrestle the keys off him" I say and he grins at me wriggling his eyebrows at me and reaches across to rub my thigh again. I can't believe he is doing this now with Kat on the phone. Concentrate on the case Rush, ignore Scotty's hand and concentrate on the case.
"Any news?" I ask in an effort to take my mind of the spiralling feeling in my stomach as his hand starts rubbing back and forth.
"Yeah finally managed to get background checks on our to suspects, James Tucker the orderly, he owned a Green SUV and he has a record, assault and battery. He beat the crap outta his ex wife and it says here he has a tattoo of a dragon on his arm, I think this guy must be our doer" she says
"Great" Scotty said
"Yeah only down side" Kat said "The bastard lives in Richmond, Virginia now"
"Virginia huh?" Scotty says and he removes his hand to write in his notebook
"Yeah, Boss wants you to...drop in on him on your way back, see if he remembers anything"
"Great, we'll make the detour and report in when we get there" Kat hangs up and Scotty replaces my phone back in its holster.
"Guess that means we get to spend more time together" Scotty says
"Perfect" I reply
Now we were heading to Richmond to talk to this James Tucker guy, hopefully he either can give us some information or he is our doer and we can finally get justice for Gina and the others. Scotty ran his free hand over my arm.
"Don't worry Lil, were gonna get this guy" He says, how is it that he can always tell what I am thinking "If this guy did it, you of all people will get him to confess" he says and I smile at the complement.
"Thanks, but you're pretty good too"
"Gee thanks Lil"
I smile, we always used to joke around with each other when we were just partners and now looking back on it I could notice even the slight flirting that went on between us.
"Oh well, so you're not the best detective in homicide" I tease, and I try not to laugh at the frown creasing his brow "you have far more...interesting talents" Scotty chuckles.
"I have plenty more skills in that department, I'd be happy to give you a demonstration later Rush" I shiver in anticipation.
"Can't wait Valens" I reply, god this is gonna be a long, long drive.
