Hello everyone! Here's a quick and funny one.
Enjoy.
A plate of pancakes slid down in front of Emily. "Mm, yummy." She licked her lips in anticipation. She grabbed the bottle of maple syrup and poured it on, drenching her pancakes.
"Go easy!" John warned. "Don't you want to be able to taste them?"
Emily laughed. "You should have gotten pancakes if you wanted to taste them."
John rolled his eyes and smiled as his omelette was placed in front of him. "I guess we're not sharing then."
Emily smiled as she pondered the idea. She took a bite of her pancakes. "Yum, maple-y."
John laughed.
"Is your omelette good?" Emily asked as she ate some of the fruit she ordered.
"Yes." John answered, eating his breakfast. He then sipped some of his coffee.
Emily reached over with her fork and managed to grab a bite for herself before John chased her away. "Hey! No sharing." He frowned. "You got maple syrup all over my plate!" He complained.
Emily laughed as she ate her stolen bite.
"Good thing you drown your pancakes. Because otherwise they would all be mine." John threatened.
Emily smiled and ate more. "I can't believe you can't cook an egg on your own."
"I said I would try."
"Points for that."
"What more do you want?"
"I could go for some bacon."
"Well you're not taking mine." John slid an arm around his plate like a protective barrier.
"Blink and you'll be missing a piece." Emily raised an eyebrow.
"Just try." John taunted.
"Maybe I will." Emily accepted his challenge, eating more of her pancakes.
John's phone pinged and tried to discreetly look down at it.
"Who was it?" Emily asked.
"A case update we don't have to worry about." John stuffed his phone away. He looked up at Emily. "Hey!"
Emily chewed on some bacon. "What?" She tried to act innocent.
John eventually cracked a smile.

"I need to ask for a favor." Emily looked up at John as they walked down the street, holding hands.
"Go for it." John answered, looking down at Emily.
"One of my old partners is in rehab and I always visit him on Saturdays." She explained.
"Him?" John asked.
"Benjamin Warner." Emily answered.
"Alright." John agreed.
"Really?" Emily was a bit surprised.
"Yeah, of course." John smiled in assurance. "I mean unless you sleep with all your partners." John joked.
Emily acted shocked, pushing John on the shoulder. Then she laughed. "No, you idiot."
"Good." John chuckled.
Emily plucked the car keys from John's pocket as they arrived at where they parked. "Thanks for breakfast." She smiled.
"You're welcome." John kissed her. "Ew, maple."
Emily pushed John again as they got into the car. Emily grabbed her bag and rummaged around for a mint or gum. She found a small tin and popped a mint in her mouth. She pulled on a pair of sunglasses. She tossed her bag back into the back seat. She crunched down on the mint as she started the car.
"Are you buckled?" Emily asked John.
"Almost. Hold on." John reached back for the buckle.
"Oops. Too bad." Emily pulled out into traffic and hit the gas.
"Jesus Christ!" John cried out as he jammed the buckle down until it clicked into place.
Then police sirens sounded and a unit pulled up behind Emily, flashing its lights.
"Oops." Emily looked at John.
John gave Emily a look.
John knew this day would come.
