Lisa was sitting at her dining room table with her laptop and paperwork spread out everywhere when she hears her front door being unlocked. She looks up and watches Sonny walk through the door. "What are you doing here?"
"Well it's good to see you too Davis." Lisa gives him a half smile as acknowledgement. Sonny walks over to the table and points at a chair with her briefcase sitting on it. "Can I move this or will it mess up your system?"
Davis finally stops what she is doing and looks at him. "You can sit there."
"Good." Sonny moves her briefcase and sits down. "Get dressed we're goin to dinner."
"Sonny we can't just go out to dinner, besides I am working."
"Ya can take one night off. Ya haven't slowed down since we got back from Serbia. Ya need to think about somethin beside work and I need to try this new rib place." Sonny says watching her sort through the paperwork on the table.
"You're a big boy you can go alone or you could call Clay." Lisa says not looking up from the table.
"I want to go with you. The only time I see ya is at work or late nights at one of our apartments. That ain't good enough Lisa. Let's just go out and enjoy a good dinner." Sonny says reaching out and stroking her leg.
"We can't go together in Virginia Beach, it's too risky." Lisa says still paying more attention to her work than to Sonny.
"Lisa, we can go to dinner, we have been goin to dinner together for years. Ya know, we just can't touch each other or act like a couple. That don't mean we can hang out in public, besides it's in Norfolk. I really don't think we will see anyone."
Lisa sits back in her chair and looks at Sonny, he almost looked sad. "What's wrong Sonny?"
Sonny shifts unsure of how to say what he was feeling. "I miss ya, Lisa. I miss my best friend Davis."
That statement hit Lisa, she smirks and stands. "Oh you miss this?" She says pointing to herself. She straddles him. "You miss my messy hair pulled up into as much of a ponytail as it can be and my yoga pants and hoodie?"
Sonny rests his hands on her hips. "Yeah. I have done told ya I like this Lisa the best."
Sonny was the only person she had ever met that could bring down her defenses in seconds. She kisses him. "I guess I can call it a night on work." She may not be able to admit it to herself, but being with Sonny had changed her for the better. She grabs his face and kisses him again. "How nice is this place?" She asks when she pulls back from him.
"Like what ya wear to the bar, but I ain't gonna stop ya if ya want to dress up." He loved her, no matter what that meant. He didn't like having to force her to stop working, but if that was the price of Lisa Davis, he would pay it.
"Okay give me like thirty minutes" Lisa says before kissing him again.
She gets up and makes it half way across the room before Sonny stops her. "I love ya."
She stops and smiles before turning her head over her shoulder "I love you too."
A half an hour later Lisa appears from her bedroom. She clears her throat so Sonny will look at her. He looks up and his breath is taken awake by how beautiful she looks in the olive-green t-shirt dress, jean jacket and converses she is wearing. Sonny stands and walks over to her. "Ya look amazin." He says wrapping his arms around her.
"It's not too much?" She asks a little unsure of her outfit choice.
"Nah babe, ya look great. Any time I get to see your prefect legs I'm a happy guy. Plus, dresses make it easier." Sonny says with a wink.
"You're stupid." She says swatting his shoulder.
"Keys." Sonny says outstretching his hand. She hands them to him and he locks the door and they head down to her SUV.
Sonny pulls into the parking lot of the restaurant. "Ready?" He asks looking over at her.
Lisa smiles and lets go of his hand. "Yeah, I am." As soon as Sonny opens the car door he is hit by the smell of barbecue. Lisa looks at him and laughs. "You know the only other times your face lights up like that is when I'm naked or you get to blow something up."
"Ha well, for your information there Davis, a beautiful naked woman, kick ass barbecue and blown shit up are my three favorite things in this life."
Lisa opens the door and walks through, followed by Sonny. "I swear, no matter how much you have grown up from the guy I met on team 4, there are so many ways you are still that same cowboy SEAL."
Sonny stands behind her in the line to order. "Is that a bad thing?"
"No, I like this mix of cowboy and grown up Sonny. We work really well together." They get to the counter to order and Lisa looks at the menu and shakes her head. She turns to Sonny. "I have no idea what I want, so have fun with it."
"I can handle that." Sonny says with a chuckle.
Sonny orders and pays and they find a seat at a picnic table on the patio of the restaurant. "This place is cute." Lisa says looking around. "Feeling a little nostalgic today?" Lisa asked taking a swig of her beer.
Sonny chuckles. "Maybe a little. I don't miss the life I left behind in Texas, but I do miss Texas, if that makes sense." Sonny says with a shoulder shrug.
"It does. So what is causing this walk down memory lane?" Lisa says looking into his eyes and seeing something is wrong.
"Well, uh, ya see in my immense boredom, because my girlfriend won't pay attention to me" Sonny shoots Lisa a look and she rolls her eyes. "I decided to clean out the junk closet and um, I found the one box of memories I keep from my childhood." Sonny pauses and looks at Lisa watching as her expression softens. "I went through it and found some pictures of my childhood best friend. She um, uh, we were inseparable until the day I enlisted. And uh, I just kinda left without sayin goodbye and haven't spoken to her since. I don't Lisa, I know it's dumb. I'm sure she as a great life, I just wonder sometimes how everything turned out for her."
Lisa smiles. Sonny never talked about his childhood, other than to say his Dad wasn't really a Dad and that he was raised most of his life by his grandmother. She always felt that was just one more thing that bonded them together. "It's not dumb, Sonny. That is a natural thought. You could always reach out to her and say hi."
"Nah, ain't no way she would want to talk to me after all these years. I just left, think how ya would feel if I did that." Sonny says shaking his head. "Besides, I have no way to contact her."
"You know they invented this thing call social media, it's a crazy world." Davis says with a wink.
"Don't be a smartass Davis."
"I would be pretty pissed at you if you just up and left me, but it has been a long time since you did that. I'm sure she has recovered from the great Sonny Quinn walking out of her life."
The server walks up to the table with their order. "Here you two go. Can I get you anything else?" The young man asks.
Sonny looks at Lisa and she shakes her head no. "I think we are good for now. Thank ya." Sonny says.
"What was I sayin again? Oh, that's right, smartass Davis."
Lisa laughs while she replies. "You wouldn't have it any other way." Sonny laughs, enjoying seeing the Lisa Davis he has known for over a decade come out to play. "While I'm being a smartass, are you telling me I'm not the first right hand woman in your life? Sonny, I don't know how to take that."
"Ya may not be the first, but you're the first one I fell in love with and the last right-hand woman I'll ever need." Sonny says. He couldn't help but stare, she was prefect.
Lisa sees Sonny's face go stoic; shit she thinks. "Sonny, what's wrong?"
"Uh, um, Blackburn and Marisa are here." Sonny says forcing himself to relax.
"Oh my god, Sonny. This is why I didn't want to go out. Shit, this isn't going to end well."
"Lisa, I'm not sayin this to be a dick, but relax. If we look calm and natural, he we be more inclined to believe we just getting dinner and not on a date. Got it?"
"Seriously Sonny? That's your plan? Just play it cool."
"Who has extensive trainin in how not to leak any information or get killed by your enemy if captured? Trust me." Sonny says locking eyes with her.
"Fine, but I don't like this." Lisa says just as Eric holds the patio door open for Marisa to walk through.
"Oh hey guys." Marisa says
Sonny and Davis say hi in unison. "Fancy seeing you to here." Blackburn jokes as he sits at the end of the next picnic table that is closest to the table Sonny and Lisa are sitting at.
"Crazy world" Sonny chuckles.
"Have you been her before Sonny?" Marisa asks.
"No ma'am, I just heard about it the other day and wanted to check it out. And since Davis here as nothin better to do and hates cookin, I forced her to tag along."
Blackburn laughs. "You got Ensign Davis to stop working for a few hours? How on earth?"
"That's not nice." Lisa says.
"It's amazin what annoyin her to no end will do." Sonny laughs.
"I guess that's one way to do." Blackburn says with a laugh.
"I don't like this." Lisa says with an eye roll while she points between Sonny and Blackburn.
"Lisa, how are you liking being an officer?" Marisa asks.
Davis smiles. "It is definitely a change and a challenge, but I am adjusting and really liking it."
"That's good. Are you glad you're still working with DEVGRU?" Marisa asks totally unaware of what is taking place in front of her.
"Absolutely, I didn't have to leave Virginia Beach or the guys. And I so happy to still be working under Blackburn here." Lisa says with a smile.
"I am happy to have you Davis. You're doing a fine job, whether you think so or not." Eric says.
"Thank you, Eric." Lisa says with an appreciative smile.
Sonny and Davis finish eating. Lisa looks between Eric and Marisa "I think Sonny and I are going to head out and let you two enjoy the rest of your night alone."
Marisa shakes her head. "Don't feel like you have to do that."
Lisa smiles. "No really, I want to be at the office early to look into a few things I found today, so I need to get to bed."
"You can slow down for a day Lisa, it's okay. No one will think any less of you." Eric smiles.
"I know, I know, I just really want to figure out what I am looking at." Lisa says.
"Well, I will look forward to hearing what you have found tomorrow. Have a good night you two. Sonny don't party too hard when after you drop her off." Eric says with a shake of his head.
"Eric!" Marisa voices her dislike for his last statement.
"It's true. Davis has spent the last how many years?" "Ten" Davis interjects. "Dragging Sonny and out strip clubs and bar fights. If it wasn't for her, he would have been dishonorably discharged for conduct years ago."
"I can't even argue with that. Davis here is the smart one in the friendship." Sonny says with a laugh. "Have a good evenin y'all. Marisa it was lovely to see ya, as always."
"It was good to see you guys." Marisa says with a smile.
"Have a great night." Davis calls over her shoulder as she and Sonny turn to walk away.
Once safely in Lisa's car, and driving away Sonny turns to her. "Okay, you win that one. It ain't safe to go out anywhere around here. But I do think they bought it."
"Damnit Sonny, I told you this was a bad idea."
"Lisa, they bought it. I mean, hell Blackburn even told me not to get too fucked up tonight after I dropped ya off." Lisa flashes him an eat shit and die look. "They had no clue we were on a date. We have spent so many years hanging out together that no one bats an eye at us goin out to eat."
"So that whole situation was comfortable for you?" Lisa snaps back.
"Hell no. I hated every minute of it, but we made it work." Sonny defends. Lisa huffs. They ride in silence for a few minutes before Lisa reaches over the center console and runs her hand across Sonny's upper leg. "I take it ya done bein mad at me for forcin ya to go to dinner?"
"Yeah. We just can't do that again." Lisa says.
Sonny shakes his head. "Agreed." Sonny comes to a stop light and looks over Lisa sitting with her legs crossed in her seat, causing her dress to ride up high on her thighs. "Sit back, baby."
Lisa looks questioningly at him, but does as he asks. The next thing Lisa knows Sonny's fingers are lightly running across her inner things. "So this is why you were so excited for me to wear a dress?"
Sonny chuckles as he runs a hand over her lace covered mound and sees her shutter. "I told ya it makes it easier." Sonny says as his finger moves the thin fabric to the side and plays with her wet folds.
"Mmm Sonny." Lisa moans. She opens her eyes and sees Sonny is about to pull onto the freeway. "Can you behave until we get home please?" Lisa asks
"That sounds like a horrible idea, why would I do that? Besides, ya know ya like it." Sonny says entering the freeway onramp.
"Because I would rather not crash while your driving 80mph because you're distracted fingering me."
Sonny stops what he is doing and rests his hand on her thing. "I'll have ya know, I can multitask with no problem, but if it makes ya feel better I'll stop."
"Thank you." She says giving his hand a squeeze.
Sonny walks Lisa to her door. "Do you want me to go?"
"No, I want you to stay and finish what you started in the car. And then spend the rest of the night with me wrapped in your arms." Lisa says after unlocking her front door and walking inside the apartment.
Sonny shuts the door behind him and closes the gap between them. "I can do all of that." Sonny says running his hands up the back of her legs, under her dress and grapping her ass.
"Maybe I should wear more dresses." Lisa says while turning Sonny's baseball cap around backwards.
Sonny captures her lips. "Mmmhhmm." He mumbles against them as he starts to push her backwards towards the bedroom.
The next morning Lisa awoke to her alarm sounding. She rolled out of the strong arms wrapped around her to turn it off. Sonny rolls onto his back expecting her to get up right away, but she doesn't, instead she cuddles into his side for a few more minutes, finally Sonny speaks. "You're gonna be late if ya don't get up."
"I really don't want to leave you." She says tracing her finger across his abs.
"Normally I would encourage ya to play hooky, but J has got us running a few things today, so that ain't gonna do us no good."
"Boo." Lisa says before leaning her head up and kissing Sonny. "Okay, I'm getting up now."
After Sonny watches Lisa walk into the bathroom he lays back in bed and formulates a plan. He was going to get her away from Virginia Beach and Norfolk for the night so they could be a real couple.
Sonny gets out of bed and gets dressed. He walks into the kitchen and makes coffee for both of them. He is sitting on the sofa almost finished with his coffee when Lisa appears. "Damn ya look good in those jeans."
"You don't think they are too bootylicious for work, do you?" Lisa asks turning and sticking her butt out towards Sonny.
"No, I think they show hard ya work to look as damn fine as ya do. But let's all be glad there ain't a briefin today, because I wouldn't be able to concentrate."
Lisa smiles, he was the cutest. She had never felt as wanted as she does with Sonny. "Do I get coffee?"
"Yes ma'am, your travel mug is sittin on the counter along with an omelet." Sonny stands walks towards the kitchen.
Lisa follows him. "Hey." He turns and looks at her. "Thank you for making sure I am caffeinated and fed." She rests her hand on his hips and kisses him.
"It didn't seem fair if I only made breakfast and coffee for myself in your kitchen." Sonny says when they break apart.
Lisa chuckles. "Well, thank you regardless. Have a good day and I will see you later."
Davis gathers her belongings and gives Sonny another quick kiss and turns for the door. "I love ya, Davis. Don't work too hard."
She turns and smiles. "I love you too."
Lisa was getting ready to head home after her day of work when she heard Sonny call out to her in the hallway. "Davis." Sonny clears his throat as he speed walks to catch up to her. "Ensign Davis."
Lisa turns and smiles, happy to see her boyfriend walking up to her. "What a nice surprise, Petty Officer. You headed my way?" She asks with a bounce.
"No Ma'am. Us enlisted, we don't, uh, keep bankers' hours like you officers do." Sonny says as he puts in the code to open the door to the team's cages. He nods his head for her to follow him into the room. Once in the room, Sonny looks around to make sure they are alone. "Besides, I, uh, I got us this really nice reservation at this restaurant up in Richmond." Sonny says leaning against the corner of the cages.
Lisa smiles and laughs. "That's a hundred miles away."
"Yeah, well, you know, it's, I don't want anybody to spot us." Sonny says taking a step closer to her.
"That is very smart, but since when are you risk-averse?" Lisa says closing the gap between them even more.
Sonny chuckles. "I'm not risk-averse. We just, you know, we both got a lot to lose here."
Lisa locks eyes with him, her eyes filled with concern. "You getting cold feet on me?" Sonny shakes his head and laughs. "What's got you all shook up here?" Lisa asks.
"Naw, uh, just, ya made a good point. Ya know?" Sonny shifts and readjusts his hat. "Just doin what we did before, ya know, it looks different now, cause it is."
Lisa smiles and grabs the bill of Sonny's hat and pulls it down on his face. "I knew I was gonna wisen you up." Sonny laughs and fixes his hat. "I told you." Davis says with a giggle.
"Oh, ya did, huh?" Sonny laughs. "Uh, well, just ya wait and see, uh, this hotel suite I got us." Sonny says looking her up and down.
"A suite, huh?" Lisa says with a smile.
"Yeah, I mean, you know, you're and officer now. Got to step my game up."
"Yeah. Level up, Quinn." Lisa smiles over her shoulder as she leaves the room.
Sonny laughs as he watches her leave. "Yes!" He says out loud once she leaves. He was truly excited for this date. They were finally going to be able to go out as a couple. This is what that needed, he thought.
