A/N: Thanks to everyone who left a review on the chapter it means a lot. this chapter wrote itsef today so here it is.

Adam stared at the wall where his hand had connected and he could see the small groove it had done. He couldn't believe that she was willing to throw away what they had again. He knew he wasn't perfect, far from it, but he was willing to work hard to get her back, to show her he was the man that she needed him to be. He grabbed a quick shower, knowing Kim was going to head home for a quick change of clothes at least. He was out the door in no time and he headed to the small bakery close to the district where he knew they had the coffee she loved with the muffins she insisted she get each time they had gone there when they were still together.

He was actually surprised to be the first in the bullpen but he put the coffee and muffin on her desk and started working on his case load, having fallen behind a bit in the past week or so. Everyone started trickling in a few minutes later and Adam suddenly couldn't concentrate fully on the paperwork he was doing right now. He was waiting for Kim to get in and when she finally did show up at the top of the stairs, she ignored him but his eyes were on her until she set her coat on her chair and took a seat. He stood and geared up for the break room just as she looked his way.

He was waiting by the coffee machine waiting for his cup to be ready but he was staring at the Chicago skyline, lost in thought.

"What are you doing?"

"Waiting for my coffee?" Adam turned around with a genuine confused look on his face.

"Don't try to play smart ass with me Adam!" Kim growled. "I'm talking about the coffee and the muffin."

"Well i grabbed some breakfast on my way and I thought you'd like it. I remember we used to go there on our days off even it was far from your place because you loved the blueberry pancakes there."

"You said it, used to. Whatever game you're playing, stop!"

"I'm not playing any games Kim." The anger was rising in his chest and his voice was rising too. "I told you this morning what I wanted and i'm sure as hell going to fight this time." And he stormed out and down the stairs, he needed some air. He pushed the doors to the district open hard and headed to the parking lot. He paced, running his hands through his hair. "DAMN IT!" He yelled as someone found themselves in his peripheral vision.

"Talk to me Ruzek, what the hell happened up there?" He wasn't surprised that Kevin had come to find him.

"I slept with her last night okay?"

"Come on Ruzek, stop playing with her." Kevin hated being between the two but what he hated most was Kim having her heart broken.

"Are you fucking kidding me right now? She's the one who said she wanted to have FUN. I woke up this morning and everything felt right but I can't walk about from her, not this time, not again."

"Sorry, I didn't know." The one thing he knew was that Adam had never stopped loving Kim, no matter how it ended between the two. "What's your plan?" He also knew that Kim still loved Adam, no matter how much she denied it. She was lying to herself but Kevin could see through her bullshit.

"I don't have one." He stopped pacing and leaned against his truck. "All I know is that i won't give up this time. I'll do whatever it takes to get her back, even if I need to do some grovelling to make that happen."

"That's my boy." Kevin smirked as he clapped a hand on both his shoulders. "Come on, let's get back inside." Adam was happy to have Kevin in his corner.

Kim moved aside just in time for Adam to walk past her. She had never seen him so mad at her and if she was being honest with herself, last night wasn't just a one night but she was scared to have her heart broken again and she raised the walls back up as soon as the sun had risen.

Hailey saw Kim come out of the break room after hearing the whole outburst so she quietly gave her a head motion towards the break room and Kim followed her willingly.

"What was that all about Burgess?" Hailey looked around the locker room to make sure that they were alone.

"We slept together last night." Kim blurted out, letting herself fall on the bench.

"You did what again?" Hailey had heard the gist of what had happened between the two from Jay but they seemed like friendly ex's while on shift, their past relationship not an issue between them.

"It was a long evening and we were having a beer, talking and he said something about moving forward together and i said no but that I was willing to have a little fun so we ended up at his place and I spent the night."

"Aww come on Burgess, that's not fair." Hailey had seen right through Adam's facade. "That boy still loves you, it's obvious."

"Yeah and he broke my heart." Her eyes were filled with tears. She knew she had part of the blame to bare on her shoulders but he wasn't willing to commit and I can't let my heart be vulnerable like that, not again."

"Well it seems to me that he won't stop until you've changed your mind. Are you ok with that?"

"I don't know Hailey. I don't think that he's changed and I don't think that I could take the pain again."

"I get that Kim but it doesn't mean the two of you can't have something casual, see where it leads. He might just surprise you." She pulled her into a hug.

"Thanks for the pep talk Hailey, I'll think about it." She knew she had a lot of things to digest but now wasn't the time to do that.

"Come on. Go splash a bit of water on your face and let's get through today."

When the girls returned to the bullpen, Kevin and Adam had returned and the two were hunched down on paperwork. It was a slow day and it was gearing up to stay that way and the quiet wasn't helping the confusing state Kim's mind was in and she caught herself glancing at Adam more than once and she shook her head, trying to shake her from her thoughts.

"Suit up everyone, we've got a heater." Adam was more than happy to hear they had a case, the silence in the bullpen was killing him. All he could think of was Kim and ways to get her back and it hindered his concentration on the report in front of him.

The guys ended up at Molly's, Kim doing back home to relax in a tub after a particular brutal foot chase. Jay had found his brother in a back booth and Kevin was left with Adam at the bar.

"So what you gonna do now?" Kevin tried to get Adam out of his head as he scratched at the label on his beer bottle.

"Don't know yet. You know if she's coming tonight?" His eyes were still on his bottle.

"She was headed home, her right knee was in bad shape." Adam finally looked at Kevin, worry in his eyes. "Foot chase, says it twisted."

"Damn, she didn't say anything."

"She's tough, you know that."

"Yeah." He said absentmindedly.

"You got a minute?" No one had noticed Hailey sneaking up on them.

"Who? Me?" Adam pointed at himself.

"Yeah you."

"Sure." She walked towards the back of the bar where there was an empty booth. "What's up?" Adam slid on one side and Hailey took a spot in front of him.

"You love Kim?" Adam was taken aback by her question.

"I've never stopped loving her Upton. What's your angle?"

"My angle is that I'm looking out for Burgess and you're my friend so I just got a few words for you; If you're not one hundred percent sure about what you want, you have to let her go. But if you love her like I think you do, fight for her and keep her happy, her heart isn't equipped for a second round."

"Noted. Thanks Upton." Hailey gave him a small smile and a nod before he returned to the stool next to Kevin.

"Why you grinning like a fool?"

"Because I'm getting her back."

"From your mouth to God's ears brother." Adam suddenly felt on top of the world bit only time would tell if he'd stay that way.
