CHAPTER 14
The next morning, Matt woke up. He saw that Sylvie was still sleeping and smiled. She was finally getting the sleep that she needed. Her body was finally resting like it should. Matt got up from the air mattress and walked over the window. He saw a light scuff of snow had fallen last night at some point. It wasn't bad out. In fact, the snow will probably melt later in the day as it gets warmer. Sylvie stirred a little bit before opening her eyes.
"Matt?" Sylvie asked as she woke up.
"Yeah?" he answered.
"What time is it?" she asked.
"Uh, noon." Matt replied.
"You're gonna be late for shift." Sylvie groggily said.
"We're off today, remember." Matt answered.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot." Sylvie answered.
"You got some rest, which is what you needed." Matt said.
"I do feel a lot better." she said.
"Good." he grinned and then walked over to her and gave her a kiss.
She returned his kiss and then her phone rang.
"Hello?" Sylvie said.
"Hey Brett, Stella and I were wondering if you wanted to do a girl's night tonight." Emily said.
"Uh, yeah. I just don't feel like going out tonight." Sylvie said.
"Pizza, makeovers, and a movie?" Emily asked.
"Sounds like a plan." Sylvie answered.
After making plans for tonight, Sylvie and Emily said their goodbyes and hung up the phone.
"Guess I need to get up and get dressed." Sylvie sighed.
"You could just stay in those pajamas you have on." Matt teased.
Sylvie kissed Matt and if there hadn't been a knock, Sylvie was 90% certain that she and Matt would have ended up doing more than just kiss.
"So much for..." Matt chuckled.
Sylvie laughed. They headed downstairs and Sylvie answered the door.
"What are you doing here?" Sylvie asked.
"I came to check on you and to steal my best friend back." Kelly joked.
"Come in." Sylvie said as she let Kelly and Stella in the apartment.
"I take it you both were um..." Stella trailed off.
Sylvie looked and noticed that Matt was shirtless and she was still in her pajamas. Sylvie's face turned red and Matt giggled.
"Uh, no. Casey let me sleep in and we literally just got up when you guys showed up." Sylvie explained.
Kelly gave Matt a knowing look.
"Well, I hate to break up whatever this is but I need your help with something." Kelly said.
"Sure. What is it?" Matt asked.
Kelly pulled Matt aside to leave the ladies to talk.
"Grissom has an arson case he wants me to investigate, even though I'm not with OFI anymore. I need your help because it involves the trailer fire we worked a few months ago after Brett left." Kelly explained.
"Sure. Whatever you need. Uh, let me go get changed and I'll meet you there in a few." Matt said as he headed upstairs to Sylvie's room to get changed.
Kelly told the women what was going on, kissed Stella, and said his goodbyes.
"So tell me what happened between you and Casey last night." Stella asked.
"Nothing happened. He slept on the air mattress and I slept in my bed." Sylvie said.
"Yeah right." Stella smirked.
"What? Nothing happened." Sylvie laughed.
Just as Stella was about to say something, Matt came downstairs. He was fully dressed and had his duffel bag in his hand.
"I'll call you later to check on you." Matt said.
Sylvie walked him out the door and closed it so that Stella couldn't see or hear anything.
"I'll be fine." Sylvie said.
Matt kissed her and she returned his kiss.
"I'll call you later." Matt said as he headed to his truck to go meet Kelly.
Sylvie walked back into the apartment where Stella gave her a look.
"Don't give me that look." Sylvie said.
"I called Foster. She's on her way over here. Figured we could start our girl's night a little early." Stella smiled.
"Alright. Um, I'm gonna go get changed." Sylvie said.
Stella stopped her.
"You're fine dressed like that." Stella said.
Emily showed up with the pizza and beer. Sylvie didn't want to drink due to the fact she had just got out of the hospital from dehydration.
"We have pizza, beer, makeup, and movies. Are we missing anything?" Emily asked.
"Plates are over here." Sylvie said.
Stella and Emily walked over to the kitchen counter where Emily sat down the pizza and beer. All three women grabbed a plate and Sylvie grabbed some Sprite from the fridge and placed it on the counter.
"So just in case you want something besides beer, here's a six pack of Sprite and there's some bottled water in the fridge." Sylvie said.
After they filled their plates with pizza and grabbed something to drink, they walked over to the couch in the living room. Sylvie placed her plate on the living room table and then turned the TV on.
"Ok ladies, what movie or should I say, movies, are we watching today?" Sylvie asked.
"It doesn't matter to me." Stella said.
"Same here." Emily said.
"Center Stage sound good?" Sylvie asked.
"Is that the ballet movie?" Stella asked.
"Yeah." Sylvie replied.
"Hot guys in leotards. Why not?" Stella joked.
"I agree." Emily said.
Sylvie put the movie on and they began watching the movie and gossiping about what's been going on at 51.
"So after you guys left last night, Herrmann decides to break out the karaoke machine." Emily said.
"You're kidding me." Sylvie laughed.
"Nope. That's not even the best part. Watching Severide and those two guys, um, Newhouse and Mills sing some sort of country song while drunk was the funniest thing I've seen in a while." Stella laughed.
"Please tell me you recorded it." Sylvie giggled.
"Girl, of course I did. I mean, I can use it to blackmail Kelly whenever I wanna win an argument." Stella joked.
Stella showed Sylvie and Emily the video and they were all laughing. As they laughed and talked about what's been going on, Joe came home with Chloe.
"Oh hey guys. I didn't know anyone was here." Joe nervously said.
"Hey Cruz!" Emily yelled.
"Hey Foster." Joe replied.
"Well, Severide had to meet Casey for something so I figured that Foster and I could keep Brett company and make sure she's getting enough rest. Plus, it's the one time of the week that we have to do our girl's day and girl's night since we work a lot." Stella said.
"Oh, don't mind us. I just came to get some clothes to take over to Chloe's." Joe said as he went to his bedroom to grab a bag of clean clothes.
He was gone for maybe five minutes and then he came out, said his goodbyes, and then he and Chloe left.
"Ok, so spill it. Did anything happen with you and Casey last night?" Emily asked.
"No." Sylvie answered.
Hours went by and it was night. Emily and Stella had to work the next day and so before they left, they decided to give each other makeovers.
"Brett, hold still." Stella said as Sylvie kept fidgeting.
Sylvie sighed and tried to do what she was told.
"Stella, that looks amazing." Emily said as she looked at the way Sylvie's makeup looked.
"She does look amazing. I wonder what Casey is gonna say when he sees her." Stella teased.
"You guys. Casey isn't gonna see me tonight." Sylvie said.
"Hold on...and there." Stella said as she handed Sylvie a mirror.
Sylvie looked at herself in the mirror.
"Stella Kidd. You are amazingly gifted." Sylvie said.
"I know." Stella said.
Emily fixed Sylvie's hair and after about an hour of styling Sylvie's hair, Emily was finished.
"You guys are amazing." Sylvie said as she looked at herself in the mirror.
Emily had curled Sylvie's hair and then pinned half of it up with a small clip. There was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." Stella said as she answered the door.
It was Kelly and Matt. Emily was in the bathroom with Sylvie while Stella was in the living room with Kelly and Matt.
"Where's Brett?" Matt asked with concern.
"She's in the bathroom with Foster." Stella said.
"Is she ok?" Matt asked.
"Foster, we're leaving! See you next shift!" Stella yelled as she quickly pushed Kelly out the door with her.
"Well I gotta go. See you later." Emily said as she quickly ran out of the bathroom, grabbed her purse and jacket, and left the apartment.
Sylvie came out of the bathroom not expecting to see Matt.
"Wow." Matt said as he took in the sight of Sylvie.
"I know. I'm still in my pajamas." Sylvie laughed.
"That, but you look amazing. You always look amazing." Matt nervously said.
"Thank you. I don't know why they fixed my hair and did my makeup for but..." Sylvie said as Matt interupted her with a kiss.
She returned his kiss. She craved his kisses all day. Before she knew it, Matt pulled away.
"I want to spend the night with you." Matt insinuated.
Sylvie knew exactly what he meant and smiled.
"I know you want to take things slow and I do too, but I just want to be with you." Matt said.
"I want to be with you too." Sylvie smiled.
She led Matt upstairs to her bedroom. After they walked into her room, Matt closed the door and began kissing her. Clothes came off of the both of them and before they knew it, they were making love in her bed. Neither of them could believe how amazing that felt. Everything felt right between them. It was a perfect ending to the day that they had.
