Chapter 55: Colour-blind chameleon
June 2015, Saturday part 1
Spinelli woke to the feeling of TJ gently playing with her hair.
"Morning" he greeted with a smile, as her eyes opened.
"Wow" was all she could say, as the memories of the previous night came back to her. In her time of hooking, she'd forgotten what intimacy was like, she'd been unaware of the difference between simply having sex, and making love. Sleeping with TJ was different from hooking, heck, from what she could remember, it was completely different then it was with Will. Then again, Will, her clients, they were selfish, and TJ certainly wasn't, it gave her an understanding for the term making love "I never knew it could be like that... just... wow..."
"Wow, who knew a simple morning greeting would be so mind-blowing? As a warning, I might go with 'good morning' tomorrow, you know, if you think you're going to handle it?"
"No I mean-" Spinelli began to stumble over her words, noticing the grin on TJ's face "SHUT UP!"
"Are you blushing?" asked TJ, as Spinelli covered her face with a pillow.
"No, I'm practicing my chameleon skills, you know, trying to blend in with my environment?"
"You do realise these sheets aren't beetroot red?"
"Okay, a colour-blind chameleon" replied Spinelli, her face still covered as she and TJ began to laugh.
"So" said TJ, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes "Would my colour-blind chameleon like some breakfast?"
"Your colour-blind chameleon would love some breakfast" grinned Spinelli "What about that all you can eat place? Hungry Joes I think it's called, they do literally everything, eggs, bacon, pancakes… I'm starving"
"Oh really?" asked TJ, raising an eyebrow.
"Asshole!" laughed Spinelli, throwing the pillow she'd bene hiding behind at TJ's head "what did you do with that nice guy from these last few days? Seriously, I want him back, I'm not sure if I like this moron!"
"He's got a concussion, from being beaten with a pillow"
"How tragic" replied Spinelli sarcastically, before standing up "come on, your colour-blind chameleon requires feeding!"
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
"So" said TJ, wrapping his arms around Spinelli as he stood behind her "What does my little colour-blind chameleon want to do now that she's been well fed?"
"Okay, that's really not going to become some sort of pet name!"
"Too late" grinned TJ, kissing Spinelli's cheek and putting on a baby voice "You're my little colour-blind chameleon"
"Care to meet my friend? Madam Fist?" asked Spinelli with a grin, turning in TJ's arms to face him.
"How about we let that old girl enjoy her retirement? Are you feeling daring?"
"Why?"
"How about we go over to the Hudson River Park? We could do the trapeze, maybe rent one of the boats, and row down the river"
"Detweiler, you're mad, you realize that right?" replied Spinelli with a smile "Seriously. You're not normal, who the heck comes up with the idea of doing trapeze for the day?! ….I'm in!"
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
"So, Mr Detweiler" teased Spinelli, as she and TJ were rowing along the river, several hours later "Did I hear you squeal like a girl when we were doing the trapeze?"
"It was high up!" defended TJ.
"No shit! Really?" laughed Spinelli "Wimp!"
"Shut up!" replied TJ, splashing Spinelli with a large amount of water.
"That's cold!"
"Is it?" grinned TJ, standing up and making his way toward Spinelli, the boat leaning as he did so, Spinelli began to stand in attempts to move away from TJ.
"Don't you dar-" the rest of her words were cut short, as TJ dived toward her, sending them both into the freezing water "I cannot believe you just did that!" Spinelli proceeded to jump on TJ's shoulders, pushing him down into the water.
"HEY! HEY" shouted one of the staff, from the river's edge "You two! Get in the boat and make your way back in, NOW! Didn't you read the safety information?!"
After a bit of a struggle, they got back into the boat, and made their way back to the docking station, where they were greeted by the staff member, who had shouted at them.
"Collect your stuff, and leave. Now. The rules and safety brief was clear enough. You're both banned for life."
"Oooh! You're in trouble!" whispered Spinelli, as they were marched away from the riverside, both giggling.

Finally, we see TJ and Spinelli, happy and together! Not sure when I'll next be able to update, possible on the weekend, life is rather busy at the moment!
Aryal Stone: I agree! They do belong together, and they work well together :)
adj1995: I agree! Finally! And even better? No regrets in the morning!
Rose-Aki: I'm glad I got you, and glad you found the kiss unexpected, I was hoping not to make it too predictable! I love that you liked they way I described them finally kissing, and that you loved the chapter! To top off the positives, Spinelli (and TJ!) seems very happy with things in this chapter!
ArtLover2192: yup! Finally! :) I hope you liked this chapter!
Please review, it would make my day! If not, and you can offer me some constructive criticism, please do! I will just ask for "no flames" please? I am dyslexic, and have worked hard to make sure this is perfect, but if you see any, please highlight any spelling/grammar errors that I've missed in proof reading, please highlight them, so I can correct!
I will update as soon as possible, but can't update every day.
