After a long day at the station, John went over to Lexi's apartment. At first there was no answer and John was about to leave when the door opened. Lexi looked at him and crossed her arms.

" What do you want?" Lexi asked.

" To give you my sincere apology," John answered her," May I come in?"

Lexi ended up nodding her head and John came in. Lexi shut the door and sat on the sofa. John just walked over to her.

" I'm sorry," John told her," You showed up at the wrong time. Eva and I are in the middle of another homicide investigation. Everyone looked at me when I yelled at you the way I did. Burnett even laid it into me. So what did you need to tell me?"

Lexi couldn't help but still think how sexy John was. She felt that she lost her nerve before, but now it was back.

" Alexis," John said," Talk to me. What's so important?"

John sat down next to her and Lexi looked right at him.

" What happened?" John asked," Why do you look so serious?"

" Because I am," Lexi finally answered," I don't want anything else. I never wanted another man the way I want you."

John didn't know what to think. He thought back and he did make the first move.

" Lexi," John said," You don't have to. I can see it in your eyes that you're not ready."

" Yes, I am," Lexi said," Before you said.."

" Forget what I said," John told her," You're vulnerable right now, too much so"

Lexi shook her head.

" That's what I needed to tell you John," Lexi said," I've thought it over and I want you to be the first. Don't you believe me?"

John then really looked at her, but then got up.

" I can't deal with this right now," John told her," I've got too much going on right now. You know it might not be right for us the be together. Look at the way Sara is with us being together. Lexi, right now isn't the right time. I do believe you however."

" Then why don't you take it?" Lexi asked," See if I'm the one who'll make your mortal."

In the back of his mind, John did want to take to opportunity, but he left it alone.

" I can't right now," John told her," Look, think it over some more. You don't have to decide right now. I've got to go. Work is calling me."

John went to the door and Lexi stopped him.

" You make a difference in my life John," Lexi told him," We shouldn't let anyone tells us that it isn't right for us to be with one another. The decision is ours and I choose to be with you. The first time I make love, I want it to be with you."

Lexi sighed and then sat back down.

" That was harder then I thought," Lexi said," I don't feel any better telling you that."

John sat back down next to her.

" I'm not going anywhere Lexi," John told her," I'll be here for you. You've made a difference in my life too, but I do have a case to work on. "

Lexi nodded her head.

" I understand John," Lexi said," Maybe I do need to think about it some more."

Lexi got up.

" If you need to go," Lexi said," I'll see you out."

John went up to Lexi and hugged her. Lexi took that in. John then pulled back and looked at her.

" You look so sad," John told her," But still beautiful."

John then ended up kissing her, which was light and sweet.

" I'll tell you what," John said," I'll think about it also."

John then ended up leaving. Lexi leaned up against the door and sighed.

" My heart knows what I want," Lexi thought," But is it what I need?"
