"Kim are you sure this is a good idea, I know Adam has changed and he's a great guy but you guys have been here before" Nicole picked up her fork and started to dig into her food. Kim had called and told her she needed to talk so they had arranged to meet for lunch.
"Yeah I know we've been here before, we are both very different people and in a much better place, Adam actually went out and brought me every bride and marriage magazine in existence, he's very excited" Kim said before sipping her coffee.
" okay, so as long as your happy, but know if he breaks your heart again, that's it" Nicole threatened.
"He knows, Kevin will kill him anyway" Kim said and they both started laughing.
"So I actually Called you here because I wanted to ask you something" Kim said as she pushed her finished plate away.
"Okay so I wanted to ask you if you will be my maid of honour" Nicole almost choked on her food "oh my god of course" she stood up to hug Kim.
"Okay so I need to get your bachelorette party planned...wait wait when is it... what date did you pick?"
"September 14th"
"Ooh a September wedding, wait wait that's like 2 months away"
"I know, but Adam really wants to get married quickly and his dad managed to get us a reservation at this hotel he did security for"
"He must be serious this time" Nicole quipped and Kim gave her a look of disapproval "Okay, okay well now I have a party to plan, I won't let you down, just let me know numbers" Nicole said as she was excitedly typing into her phone
"I will" Kim said just as her phone started to ring. It was Adams sister.
"Hey, you okay?" She asked curiously into the phone.
"Yeah Kim, can you come meet me at 15th district"
"Hey what's happened?"
"Please Kim?"
"Okay I'm coming, I'll be about 10 minutes"
"Thanks, please don't tell Adam" and she hung up.
"Everything okay" Nicole asked.
"I'm not sure, I'll catch up with you later" she stood up threw some cash on the table, hugged Nicole and left.
When she arrived at the 15th district, she saw Kate sitting on a bench in the front lobby not far away was a young officer.
"Kate, what happened"
The officer walked towards Kim.
"Miss ruzek here decided she wanted to have some wine at lunch and then got into her car"
"Was she driving" Kim asked
"No, she intended to" the officer answered irritated.
"How do you know?"
"She had her keys out"
Kim flashed her badge and told the officer she would handle it. He nodded and left.
"Come on we will talk in my car" Kim said motioning Kate to follow her.
"Kate what happened?"
"I was out for lunch with some friends, we had a bit too much wine so I decided I needed to take an Uber home but when I went to call for one I realised I'd left my phone in the car, I went to get it out but then 2 officers walked around the corner and assumed I was about to drive it"
"Kate, Adam almost lost his job covering for you last time"
"I know, that's why I went to call an Uber, I promise on Sammys life"
"I believe you, but I need to tell Adam. I'm not keeping this from him"
"I know" Kim could tall Kate was deflated and she believed the had learnt her lesson last time.
"I'll drop you home" Kim told her firmly.
"Thanks for this Kim, I didn't know who else to call"
"We are family now" Kim smiled
"Yeah congratulations again, so glad Adam has you, I know my brother can be a dumbass especially when it comes to women but he's definitely picked the right one"
"Thank you, I think " they both laughed.
She dropped Kate off and just as she was about to pull away her phone started ringing again. "Hey darling, I thought you would be back by now, we've caught a case"
"Hey, something came up, i..."
"Hey are you okay?" Adam worriedly asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, it wasn't me, text me the address and I'll explain to you later"
"Okay, see you in a bit, love you"
"love you" she said as she hung up the call.
Adam text through the address where she needed to meet them and she arrived within 10 minutes. As soon as she got out of her car Adam came jogging over. He placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Hey what's happened" he asked again, Kim could tell he was worried.
"Honestly it was nothing to do with me, I was just helping someone out, I will explain everything later, but I promise it's nothing bad"
"Okay" he nodded. They both walked to where the rest of the team were standing.
The rest of the day was pretty jam packed, they hardly saw each other. They had hit a dead end and decided at 10pm to pack it in for the night. Adam was waiting for Kim downstairs when he felt his phone vibrate.
It was his sister.
"Hey"
"Hey is everything okay?" He asked concerned.
"Yes, everything is fine, I just wanted to tell you something"
"Okay" Adam was puzzled, what could his sister desperately need to tell him this late at night .
"So today I called Kim to come pick me up from the 15th district"
"Okay" he remained calm and waited for her explanation.
"I was out at lunch and had drunk to much wine, I went to call an Uber when I realised I'd left my phone in my car, so I walked to the car to get it and when I opened the door 2 officers came to me and accused me of trying to drive, I promise I wasn't, it was bad timing on my part, I didn't think it was fair to Kim for her to have to explain it to you."
"Your damn right Kate, why would you drag Kim into this, she's good at what she does, she doesn't need her reputation tarnished" he realised he was shouting when everyone in the district was looking at him. "We've been through this before" He whispered quietly in order to curb the looks he was getting. He pushed his hands through his hair.
"I know Adam. They didn't arrest me, just gave me a warning"
"Your lucky, next time you don't bother Kim with this sort of stuff, okay?"
"Okay, okay... hopefully there isn't a next time"
"Yeah me too" Adam replied and Kate heard the sarcastic undertone in his voice.
"That's a good woman you've got there, don't let her get away again Adam"
"Trust me she ain't getting rid of me without a fight"
"Good, I'll speak to you later"
"Okay, thanks for being honest with me though"
Just as he ended the call Kim came down the stairs with a great big smile.
"Hey guess what" she said excitedly.
He snakes his arm around her waist as they headed for the door.
"Well I managed to secure the caterers we wanted, and the florist we were thinking of got back to me today and they are free. We also have a cake tasting next Monday"
"Great, I love cake" he smiled as she started laughing and she pushed him towards the door.
They made it home around 11pm after they had picked up some food. Kim pulled out the cutlery and they both crashed into the couch. After they had finished thier food Adam laid down and Kim laid down next to him with her head on his shoulder. "Adam, there's something I need to tell you"
"I know, Kate called me earlier to confess"
"Oh, good I'm glad she did, I told her I wasn't with holding anything from you"
"I appreciate that, soon to be mrs ruzek" he leant down and kissed her head. They both laid in silence with Kim's head on the rise and fall of Adams chest.
Adam was awoken by a loud bang on the door. He realised him and Kim had fallen asleep on the sofa. He carefully slid out from under Kim but she had started to stir. "Hold up, I'm coming" he shouted
He opened the door as he stretched and he noticed kevin who pushed his way in.
"Dawg, What is going on with you guys, been tryna call You all morning. We got a lead in the case, voight sent me round when you didn't answer your calls"
"Wait what time is it?" Kim asked sleepily front the couch "10.30am" Kevin answered back.
"Shit" Kim and Adam said in unison. Kim jumped up and checked her phone, dead. Adams too. "Is voight pissed" Adam asked kevin as he ran to the bedroom.
"No actually, he was worried something had happened because burgess is never late" he laughed.
Kevin helped himself to a bottle of water, 5 minutes later Adam came out showered and dressed and Kim had made her way to the shower.
Within 10 minutes they were leaving the apartment. "You guys took your time" kevin Joked.
"Well we could have showered together but didn't think you would have appreciated that" ruzek said with a smile.
"No dawg I wouldn't have" he shuddered and Kim slapped his head. "Ruz, you need to come with me, burgess voight wants you to meet rojas at the bar from yesterday"
She nodded and kissed Adam quickly before heading towards her car.
"Can't believe you're getting married to my other best friend"
"I know man, that's why I was hoping you were gonna be my best man?"
"You didn't even need to ask brother"
