You are now Special Agent Natara Williams.

You're almost finished with your part of the paperwork, when Mal slips back into your joined office. You shortly glance at him before focusing on your paperwork again. At least, that was the idea.. But as soon as you set your eyes on him, you find yourself unable to pull away. You look him up and down, taking in every single inch of his handsome appearance. A huge smirk finds its way to your face as you do so. You're so caught up in what you're doing, that you don't even notice that he's talking to you. You finally snap out of your trance when he starts to walk over to you. Oh my god. I just stared at Mal.. For at least a few seconds.. During work hours.. And he noticed... You can't stop the huge blush that finds its way to your face when you realize that. You quickly look down to your paperwork and let your hair fall in front of your face. While you're pretending to be focused on your paperwork, you try your best to ignore the fact that Mal is nearing your desk. From the corner of your eyes you see how Mal walks around your desk. You listen closely and follow the sound of his steps, which is why you know that he's standing right behind you. You resist the urge to look behind you, when suddenly your desk chair turns around, making you face Mal, who takes a crouching position so he's on your eye level. You keep looking to the ground, trying to avoid his gaze. He gently strokes some hair out of your face, making you blush even more. You quickly shoot a glance at him, and see that he has a cute smile on his face, which widens when he sees you looking. "You okay there, partner? You seem a little distracted.." he asks teasingly.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine.." you say softly. You hate the way your voice cracks, and urge yourself to 'man-up'. Then you lift your head and look him straight in the eye. His eyes lock with yours immediately. The intensity of the moment leaves you breathless for a few seconds. You keep staring into his beautiful ocean blue eyes and feel like you're drowning in them, which you absolutely don't mind. After a few seconds of bliss, Mal blinks, and the magic spell he put on you is broken. You let out a breath, which you didn't realise that you were holding, while huge smile makes its way to your face. You grab Mal by the collar of his shirt and quickly pull him close to you. An amazing, tingling feeling spreads through your body as your lips meets his in a passionate kiss. The kiss lasts several moments. Even though you knew that the kiss wouldn't less forever, you're still vaguely disappointed when he starts to back away. You release his collar and let him go.

To your delight he doesn't go very far and keeps his face a few inches from yours. The two of you immediately lock eyes again. "What was that for?" he asks, while softly stroking your cheek. You feel his hot breath on your skin when he talks.

You teasingly bite his lower-lip, making him smile, and pull him even closer to you. Then you wrap your arms around his neck, making sure that he won't go away, before you release his lip. "Nothing special.. I just love you, and I wanted to show you that…" you whisper to him. Then you lean in and give him a tender kiss on his soft lips.

After a few seconds you want to pull back again, but Mal leans in even more, not letting your lips go. You raise your eyebrows at him after he finally lets you go. He shoots you a fake-confused look. "What..?"

You tilt your head slightly, while you're closely observing his face. "What was that for?" you ask, parroting his words from just a few minutes ago.

He flashes you a charming smile. "Well, it's nothing special, really. But I love you too, you know." He says, parroting your words as well.

You lean in a little closer, making your lips almost touch. "I actually find that very special.." you say softly.

You see his eyes flashing towards your lips, he's obviously trying his best to resist the temptation. Then his eyes finds yours again. "I find you very special..." he whispers.

The sweetness of his answer makes you pull him closer to you, until your lips finally touch. You feel how he wraps his arms around you as he pulls you closer as well. After several amazing moments, you break the kiss. "I find you more than special..." you whisper to him.

"Hmm.. Aren't you adorable?" he asks, with a enormously cute smile on his face.

You jokingly roll your eyes at him. "Sounds like the pot is calling the kettle black..." Not thinking it through, you playfully push him away from you, causing him to fall backwards. But since you both have your arms around each other, he pulls you down with him. Resulting in a Detective and a FBI agent who are laying on the floor for no particular reason. The ridiculousness of the situation makes you laugh uncontrollably. You roll off of Mal and lie on the floor, trying to control your laughter, but you fail miserably.

In the mean time Mal struggles to get up, and when he finally does he turns to you with a fake frown on his face. "That was not funny.." he says while trying his best to sound serious, but you nevertheless hear a small tremble in his voice, indicating that he doesn't mean it. He still offers to pull you up by extending his hand, which you gladly grab.

You still haven't stopped laughing when he pulls you up. "It was kind of funny.. You really fell for me, didn't you?" you manage to get out in between laughter.

Then his facade breaks and he bursts out in laughter as well. "I guess I did." He says with a huge grin on his face.

When the both of you are calmed down again, Mal leans over and gives you a soft kiss on the forehead. "Back to work?" You nod at him. Then you watch how he walks over to his desk and starts to work on his paperwork. You're about to imitate his actions when you notice something. "Mal?"

"Hmm..?" he asks without looking up from his work.

You take a seat behind your desk, but keep your eyes on him. "Where is your coffee?"

He looks up from his work and shoots a confused look in your way. "My what now?"

You smile at the cute face he's making. "Your coffee… I thought you stepped out for coffee..?"

"Wha- Yeah, I mean, I did. Step out for coffee, I mean. I was just, uh, so thirsty that I, uh, drank all of it.. On the way here…"

Even though his reaction is somewhat unusual, you decide to let it slide. At least, for now. "Oh.. Okay." Then you continue to work on your paperwork, while you occasionally shoot a glance at your dashing boyfriend. Time flies by so fast, that you and Mal barely finished the report during work hours. Together you hand it in to Captain Yeong, and after a brief discussion the three of you decide that the interrogation of the killer can wait a day. A day of rest might do him good after all.

After saying goodbye to the Captain, Mal and you start to head towards the exit of the precinct. On your way you run into Blaise and Jeremy, who just finished their work as well. They invite the two of you to join them to the Drunk Tank, but you have to pass because you already planned to have dinner with your parents and your sister before they leave San Francisco this evening. The four of you exchange some small talk, and split up in the parking lot. You watch them walk away, while they're laughing at each others jokes. Blaise and Jeremy huh..? Guess they'd make a nice couple…

Mal drives to your apartment, while you ride shotgun. The two of you get ready for another fancy dinner with your parents. You smile when you see Mal putting on the Rolex your dad gave him. He's wearing a white shirt with a black tie and grey waistcoat with black buttons and a black pants, which looks absolutely dashing on him. He'd probably still look dashing while wearing a garbage bag though. You're wearing a stunning black dress, which shows off your perfect hourglass figure, and elegant black heels. The simple outfit lead to several compliments from Mal, which made you blush like crazy.

You are now Detective Mal Fallon.

You step out of the door that leads to Natara's apartment and curiously look around, trying to find a familiar face on the busy streets of San Francisco. A smile makes its way to your face when you finally spot Neha. She called you several minutes ago, saying that she had a surprise and was waiting for the two of you downstairs. Of course it took Natara several minutes to decide which jacket she'd wear, while you just grabbed your black leather jacket. Eventually she managed to make her decision and you headed downstairs to meet up with Neha.

When she sees that you're looking at her, Neha starts waving at you with a big smile on her face. You wave back at her, to let her know that you saw her. Then you look a little further, and your mouth almost falls to the ground when you see what's behind Neha. You're surprised that you didn't see it sooner, since it's pretty obvious. "Is that.. A enormous Range Rover limousine?" you manage to get out.

Natara, who just stepped out after you, follows your gaze. "Oh yeah, I guess it is.." She answers, as if it's not a big deal. She turns around and locks the door of her apartment before putting the keys in her purse. Then she turns back around to look at you and chuckles. You raise your eyebrows at her, unsure why she's laughing. She smiles widely at you before she puts her hand under your chin and closes your mouth.

You hadn't even realized that you had your mouth open for so long. "A.. Bright pink.. Range Rover limousine?" you ask, still surprised. You've never seen something like that up close. You never even knew that they existed. Until a few moments ago, you would've sworn that cars like that only in exists movies.

"Yes.. I take it that Neha picked the colour this time.." Natara says matter-of-factly.

Your mouth falls open again. "This time? You mean, you go with a limo so much that you get turns to choose the colour of it?"

"Well, no. My dad doesn't let Neha choose when he has to go to an important meeting, obviously. But when he doesn't care, she gets to choose. It makes her happy."

"Yeah.. But.. A bright pink Range Rover limo?"

Natara just shrugs, clearly not impressed by the fact that there's a bright pink limousine parked in front of her apartment, and walks over to Neha. You look at the limo, and then back to Natara, before you decide to follow her.

As you get closer to the limo, an older looking man steps out of the driver seat. He's obviously the chauffeur. He nods at you when he sees that you're looking at him, a gesture that you politely return. You chuckle while you watch how Neha tackles Natara into a ferocious hug. The sound of your laughter makes Neha direct her attention to you, and before you realize what happened, you're getting a hug from her as well. "Hey there, take it easy.. We just saw each other yesterday…" you jokingly say while you awkwardly pat her back. You're still not used to the whole hugging-Natara's-family thing.

She releases you and playfully punches you in the arm. "Yeah I know, silly. I'm just going to miss Natara and you after this evening…"

Aww, I think she really means that.. You flash her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. I promise we'll stay in touch. And we'll probably see each other again one day or another. You don't have to miss us at all! You might even get bored of us after a while… Now don't be sad and get inside that limo, we're wasting our last hours of being together today!" You watch how Neha's face lights up as the words leave your mouth, making you feel pretty pleased with yourself.

She flashes you a smile back, before she grabs your hand and drags you towards the limo. You quickly glance at Natara, who's smiling widely when she sees how you deal with her little sister. The chauffeur opens the door for the three you and helps Neha and Natara getting inside. You climb inside as well, and the chauffeur quickly closes the door behind you before he makes his way to the drivers seat. You curiously look around and raise your eyebrows when you see that the limo doesn't hold any more people beside the three of you. "Where are your parents?" you ask Neha, while you take a seat next to Natara.

"Oh, they took another ride. Daddy wanted to buy some new suits before leaving San Francisco. So he fixed me this ride before he and mommy took off together a few hours ago." Neha says casually, while grabbing a remote from the seat next of her.

She clicks a few buttons, making a huge television screen emerge opposite of you, showing off some music video that you don't know. A song that you recognize from somewhere starts blasting from well-hidden speakers. Your mouth almost falls open again, but you manage to stop yourself.

"What would you like to drink?" Neha asks, while she pushes another button, which makes a mini-bar emerge from the floor. This time you aren't able to stop your mouth from falling open.

"Uhh.." is all you manage to say.

You feel Natara's hand under your chin, closing your mouth again. "We'll both have a coke, please." She says with a grin on her face.

Neha widely grins at you from her seat. "Not used to this kind of things, huh Mal?" she asks teasingly as she hands you your coke.

You shake your head as you accept the drink. "Nah, not really.." You lean over to inspect the mini-bar and smile widely when you discover the small snacks. You grab a bag of gummy bears, which you quickly open. You close the door to the mini-bar before you lean back and pop a gummy bear into your mouth. "But I could easily get used to this!" you say enthusiastically, making Neha and Natara laugh. You offer them some gummy bears, which they gladly accept. The three of you enjoy the gummy bears, together with a coke while watching the newest music videos on the huge TV screen. You're kind of disappointed when you eventually arrive at the restaurant, which Raj picked himself. Even though you've lived your whole life at San Francisco, you've never visited this restaurant before, simply because it's way too expensive for your law enforcement paycheck.

The chauffeur opens the door again, and helps both Neha and Natara out of the limo. You step out yourself and glance around. Raj and Anita are already waiting for the three of you in front of the restaurant. You gently take Natara's hand and follow Neha, who already walked off towards her parents.

"Hello Malachi." Anita says, before she gives you a tight hug.

You, still awkwardly, hug her back. "Hey, nice to see you again."

She releases you and looks at your outfit. "I have to say, you look quite handsome."

A small blush finds its way to your face. "Thank you. You look very beautiful yourself." You say, not sure if you crossed the line with this or not.

She smiles widely at you. "Thank you very much." Then she turns to Natara and proceeds to hug her as well.

You then turn to Raj and shake his hand firmly. "It's great to see you again, Malachi. Hope you enjoyed the ride in he pink limousine?" he asks with a grin on his face.

You smile at him. "Actually, yeah. It was the first time I ever sat in such a luxurious limousine, and I have to say that it was quite an experience. I'm actually so impressed that the colour of the limo doesn't even matter to me."

He pats you on the back before he softly pushes you towards the entrance of the restaurant. "I believe that Neha chose that particular colour to provoke you, usually she chooses a white limousine."

You glance over your shoulder to look at Neha, who flashes you a mischievously smile. You roll your eyes at her. I'll get her back for that..

When the five of you are about to enter the restaurant, two men open the doors. Huh, that must be one of the easiest jobs ever, simply opening the doors for people that would like to enter the restaurant…

After having one of the best dinners you ever had in your life, partly because of the excellent five-course meal, but mostly because of the amazing company, the five of you made your way to the airport. A few tears were shed while saying goodbyes, but there was no real drama. Both Neha and Anita hugged you again, which made Natara smile because she saw how uncomfortable that made you feel, but you started to get used to it. Raj gave you a forceful handshake and a meaningful wink before he took his wife's hand and walked off. Neha followed them, but she changed her mind halfway though. She then ran back one last time to hug both you and Natara, before she followed her parents into their private jet. You wrapped your arm around Nataras shoulder while the two of you stayed and watched how the plane took off. She kept waving until the plane disappeared into the clouds. Then she sighed. "I'm going to miss them.." she said softly. Then she looked at you, and kissed you softly on your lips. "At least I still have you.."

You tenderly kissed her back. "You'll always have me.."

Aww Mal's such a cutiepie :D Anyways, let me know who you want Blaise to be with! Oscar? (Might be weird though..) Patrick? Jeremy? Someone else? Because I'm honestly lost lol. Any other pairings that you'd like to see? Just lemme know!
