A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter. Now here is another chapter that to me is more of an Adam point of view and his frustrations and how he's trying to win her back.

Less than thirty minutes after his talk with Upton, Adam was calling it a night. He stopped at the Wallgreens, intent on grabbing a few things for Kim, deciding to stop by quickly to drop them off. He could see that the light in her living room was still on so he went up the stairs to her complex and knocked a few times. He waited on the ball of his feet, looking around and hoping she would open up even if he was the one behind the door.

Kim was engrossed in a book and barely heard it. She set her book aside and stood, heading for the door. She looked through the peephole and was taken aback by who was on the other side. She had yelled at him where anyone could hear but he was somehow there, coming back for more. She contemplated not answering her door but finally decided to do so.

"Adam, what are you doing here?" Adam turned to face her at the sound of the door opening.

"I just wanted to drop this off for you." He presented her the bag and she took it, looking through it.

"How did you know?" She hadn't made it a secret really but she hadn't said it out loud to anyone other than Kevin.

"Kevin told me." He said sheepishly, a bit mad at himself for not having noticed it on his own.

"I'm fine really." It was a lie but she wasn't ready to let him back in her heart. Having him in her orbit at work after sleeping with him was hard enough.

"In case you're lying, which I have a creeping suspicion that it is." He smirked, knowing he had hit the nail on the head by the look on her face. "I got you everything." He had no doubt that she knew exactly what that meant.

"Adam, I didn't change my mind." She sighed.

"And I'm not giving up." She could see the resolve on his face but she wasn't willing to get her heart into it only to have her hopes crushed. She would keep her walls up around him, no matter what. "Good night Kim." He didn't give her the chance to say something, he simply smiled at her and turned to leave, leaving a stunned Kim in her doorway.

She watched him go and looked at the door he disappeared through before going back inside. She put the bag down on the counter without giving it another thought and returned to the living room, placing the ice pack back on her knee and returning to her book. She only made it half a page before he mind returned to the bag. As much as she tried, she couldn't concentrate on the words on the page and she sighed, mad at herself for letting Adam get inside her head. She stood up and limped ever so slightly towards her counter, deciding on looking through the bag. Adam had been right when he said that he had gotten everything. Every single product that worked the best was there. He had introduced her to a few products that he said he swore by since he was a kid and he hadn't been lying. She took the bag back with her to her bedroom, figuring that she would use a few of them before finally calling it a night. She applied the muscle relaxing cream on her calf and thigh and when it was completely rubbed into her skin, she used the medical tape to keep her knee from moving for the night. She knew she'd have to change it in the morning to provide some support for her knee cap so she could do her job in the unit and not be slowed down. And last, she swallowed two ibuprofens and two muscle relaxing tylenols before lying down in bed. It didn't take very long for everything to do it's job and she was out in a matter of minutes.

She woke up the following morning with the pain substantially reduced so she simply re-tapped her knee and took the four pills before grabbing her gun and heading out to the district.

Adam had spent a restless night. He had dreamed of Kim, some good and some bad and when he woke up, his body was in all kinds of pain but after grabbing a few pills and downing them with water, he headed for the shower. He quickly got dressed and was out the door, figuring he'd get coffee and something to eat in a drive through. He went up the stairs of the bullpen and saw Kim already sitting at her desk, a to-go cup next to her.

"You're here early." He simply stated as he put his jacket against his chair.

"I thought I would get an early start." She didn't even look at him when she said the words and he decided to let her be, the pile of paperwork on his desk requiring his attention.

Kevin and Hailey made it to the district at the same time, parking next to each other.

"Morning." Hailey gave him her signature smile.

"Whatever you told him last night might have been the kick in the pants our boy needed." He smirked.

"I told him the truth." She simply shrugged, the two heading up the stairs. They acknowledged Platt with a smile and when they walked up the stairs to the bullpen, they noticed both Kim and Adam were already in.

"How's the knee Burgess?" Kevin asked as he took his spot at the desk facing hers, putting his coat on his chair.

"Much better, thanks Kev." She smiled at him, refusing to look Adam's way.

"Glad to hear that." The turned at the sound of Voight's voice. They hadn't seen him come in, clearly having taken the back entrance. "Anyone seen Antonio?" He asked as the person in question came up the stairs.

"Sorry I'm late. We got a case?"

"No, need your help on something." He pointed towards his office and everyone looked at Antonio walk past them and close the door behind himself.

"What's that all about?" Adam looked at everyone quizzically.

"No idea, best not to ask questions." Kevin added. He knew that when Voight asked to talk to his number two, it was best to stay out of it. He moved towards the break room and patted Adam on the shoulder on his way, making it a silent plea to follow him. When he was sure no one was in hearing distance, Kevin decided to say his piece.

"You clocked out early of Molly's last night."

"I did a house call." He pulled a mug out and poured himself some coffee, leaning against the counter to face Kevin.

"You got to be more specific than that."

"I stopped at Wallgreens and grabbed a few things to help with her knee." His eyes were trained on Kim. He had a clear view of her desk from where he was standing.

"And she didn't kick you out?"

"She didn't exactly invite me in either." He pondered out loud.

"So what next?"

"Got anything that'll make her talk to me?" He was lost in his own thoughts. "She has this wall around her heart and I don't know how to bring that wall down, even in the slightest."

"I can talk to her, put in a good word."

"No, it has to come from me." He finished his cup and set it in the sink before returning to his desk, just in time for both Antonio and Voight to exit his office.

"Burgess, Ruzek, I need the two of you to go grab these guys." They stuck the photo on the white board. "We pinged their phones at the corner of 1st and Wabash."

"On it sarge," Adam grabbed his coat and waited for Kim to meet him at the stairs so they could go down together. They took Adam's car after some arguing from Kim about her knee being ok to drive but he wouldn't have any of it. The first few minutes were spent in silence, Kim looking at the scenery and Adam looking at her. "How's your knee, really?"

"It's much better, thanks for the care package." She didn't even look at him.

"So what? You're going to ignore me completely now?" He was growing frustrated now.

"That's not what I'm doing." She sighed, her eyes still on the city outside her window.

"You can't even look at me."

"What do you want from me Adam huh?" A fire suddenly lit inside her chest, the same fire in her eyes.

"I want you to say something, anything. I know you want to."

"You want to know the truth?" She couldn't take it anymore, she had to get it off her chest. He nodded for her to continue. He knew he deserved whatever she was going to throw at him. "You keep saying you've changed but I know you, you can't change."

"You won't even let me show you that I have. You're closing your heart out from me and you've set your mind but I swear I'll show you that you're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"You've said that before and you have nothing to show for it." She was done with that conversation. "Let's just catch this guy and get this day over with." She got out of the car and slammed the door violently closed. No matter how mad at him she was, they were a great team and she couldn't let their personal problems interfere with it.

The Alonso brothers were easy to find and they returned to the district with them, throwing them in the cage and returning to the bullpen. Adam threw his coat on his desk and went to the locker room. He was angry and he was hurt and he finally took his anger out on a locker, making a large fist shape dent in it. When he returned, Kim was nowhere to be seen and Voight sent them all home. Kevin looked at Hailey as Kim took the back exit and Adam went down the bullpen two stairs at a time, clearly wanting to be anywhere but there.

He holed himself in his apartment, emptying beer bottle after the next. He wanted to drown the feelings but the knock on his door stopped his spiral.

"What do you want now? Looking to yell at me some more, drive the knife deeper in?" His rant was stopped by her lips on his. It was needy and he could smell the faint aroma of alcohol on her breath but that didn't stop him. She was like a drug to him and whenever she was around, he just wanted his fix and that is exactly what he was getting. They had sex twice, once on the kitchen table and the next in his bed. Both times were mind blowing but he knew the moment it was over that the walls she had built around her heart were back up and she was out the door without another word, leaving with another piece of his heart.

He laid in bed, hands behind his head and his heart a complete mess. He knew that physical attraction didn't lead to emotional attachment but he knew that Kim was hiding behind it to avoid heartbreak and he hoped that with time, she would slowly let him back in.

A/N: Ok so it seems that Adam is putting his heart out there for her and she's not willing to give him an inch. But is Kim hiding her fears behind all that anger and physical attraction to Adam? Next we'll get to see it through her eyes for a bit, feel through her.
