Stella and Severide's place
"Which film did you choose?" Stella asked coming from the kitchen with two glasses of wine.
"Crazy Rich Asians" Gabby responded hitting the play button as with her other hand she reached into the bowl of popcorn on the centre table.
"Perfect" Stella handed her a glass of wine before taking the seat opposite her, with her legs under her Stella got comfortable.
"I love this movie it's my third time watching it." Gabby stuffed some popcorn into her mouth.
"Please, don't spoil it for me." Stella sipped her wine.
"You haven't to worry", Gabby turned her head, winking at Stella, who smiled at her.
They went quiet for a few minutes while watching the film, alternating between drinking their wine and eating popcorn.
"Hey, you didn't tell why you are here and not with Cordova at his parents' wedding anniversary."
With her eyes still glued to the television, Gabby shrugged out, "We are just seeing each other over a month not that long," Gabby gazed at Stella this time, " So I didn't feel that I should be there."
"What he said about it?" Stella shoved some popcorn into her mouth.
Turning and angling her body to face Stella, "There was nothing to say, since the beginning I've made myself clear we are not a couple-" Stella cut in.
"Just friends with benefits" Stella pressed her lips together to suppress a laugh.
"I- I... wouldn't put it-", Gabby stuttered as tucking her hair behind her ear, then Stella pointed a finger at her, " Like... that." Squinting her eyes at Gabby.
"You don't have to be shy with me come on", Stella insisted, snickering at her.
Taking a look around, Gabby sighed and turned eyes to Stella, "He's is a good company, I'd say we are having a great time, no pressure, just going with the flow."
"That's good, you know you and Casey had in a long-term relationship, hopping to another one sometimes in the same terms, it's not the right move." Stella sipped her wine.
"I've said to Cordova, if he meets a girl who he really likes, he may take his chance, no hard feelings here. I'll be okay." she spoke honestly.
"That's my girl everyone deserves to get laid and if it's someone with that body-", Gabby cut her off.
"Stop it", Gabby laughed and looked down. Lifting her head later, " You can't help yourself, hun?"
Smirking, "You know me so well." changing her tone Stella, "... but for real, it's time for you to live for a little bit, when the time comes, you will have your forever one".
"All I want is a man who can keep up with me you know loving me whole heartedly." Gabby declared with tears welling in her eyes.
"There is someone out there looking for you never doubt, okay? ", Stella rubbed Gabby's shoulder.
Wiping a few tears, Gabby nodded her head slowly.
"Enough of this talking", Gabby cracked a smile, " Let's go back watching Crazy Rich Asians." Gabby shifted her position on the couch.
"Alright, what we've missed." Stella gulped her wine as pointing her attention toward the TV again.
...
Casey's apartment
"Do you want another beer?" Casey asked Severide as both of them were watching the Chicago Blackhawks game.
"No, thanks, I'm good", nursing his beer. "The other team needs better defenders wow our team is not playing tonight." Severide stated.
"Malcolm Subban is in good shape." pointing his bottle to TV " He stopped good shots from them, we have to admit." Matt gazed at his friend briefly.
"You're right, their midfielders pass the ball quickly." Severide uttered reaching for the bowl with chips at his side.
They went quiet for a couple of minutes, in the meantime, Casey grabbed another beer in his fridge, and Severide checked his phone, he had gotten a photo of his girlfriend and Gabby toasting while making silly faces, he chuckled.
Casey returned to his spot on the couch, sighing, "There is something that I need your opinion," not looking at him, but TV.
"Okay..." Severide slid his phone back in his pocket, his other arms spread across the back of the couch.
"I haven't decided what to do in my next furlough-", Severide interjected.
"I've expected that you were going with Brett visiting her family." Casey turned his head to look Severide right in the eyes, " She said to Stella you two were going."
Clearing his throat, Casey spoke, "That isn't going to happen, it's likely we are not going any time soon to Indiana." giving him a tensed smile.
Severide arched an eyebrow at him, "What are you not telling me, Casey?"
Whipping his head around, Casey scrubbed his hand down his face, " We broke up, I don't know... she asked for a break."
"Okay... why she would ask for a break?" Severide realized whether he questioned Casey or he would keep his silence about what had occurred.
Turning his head to look at Severide, "Last shift... I've heard Foster talking in the locker about Brett and I get married...".
"She barely moved into your apartment...", Severide took a sip of his beer.
"Yeah, then Foster would say Brett should be the one asking me to marry her...", Casey shook his head running a hand over his mouth.
"Wow...", Severide voiced speechless.
"... I didn't mean to hear them talking... I abruptly stopped at the entrance when I've heard the last of their conversation, I couldn't move my feet until Brett told her she would think about it, she had loved the idea, then I walked backward and turned to the other direction".
"I imagine you two had a talk since you cancelled visiting her family and, I didn't see her since I came here.."
"She is staying with Emily... took some of her clothes with her...", Casey said upset.
"You two still have time to find out a way to fix your relationship... you know...", Severide tried to cheer him up.
"I need to clarify one thing for you...", pressing his lips together, "I am not marrying Brett at any point or anyone if it depends on me".
Severide gasped, "Are you kidding me?" abandoning his beer in the centre table.
"No, it's serious. I was engaged twice and I married once. I don't see myself doing it again, and Sylvie needed to be aware of that, if it's her dream getting married, I'm not the one who's going to make that happen."
"She must get mad at you, uh?"
"I'd say she was not happy." Casey rested an elbow on the back of the couch and covered his face with his hand. " She accused me of still being obsessed with Gabby."
"Brett is obsessed with Gabby, actually that girl has to move on." Severide blurted out "... and leave Gabby out of this."
"I tried to make her understand it, then she decided to stay a few days with Foster... Man, I am at a point in my life that I'm tired of explaining myself every now and then...".
"Maybe, it's for the best you know if you both want completely different things out of life, if that's the case your relationship won't last."
"You're right..." Casey complied nodding slowly. "I bet you are craving another beer after hearing about my romantic life".
Severide gave him a sheepish grin, "Please, send two on my way."
They laughed lightly.
...
One week later
Gabby was in her office dealing with a lot of paperwork, it was a time like this she wished going back to be a paramedic or a firefighter. Usually, at the end of the week, she was exhausted, dreaming with her weekend full of hours of resting and doing nothing.
Betty, her assistant, walked into Gabby's office.
"Betty, I am not finding that file from the Emergency Medical Services-", cutting her off.
"Oh, it's on my desk, sorry, I should tell you..."
Gabby breathed relieved, clasping her hands together in front of her as sat down behind her desk.
"I was checking it, and I believe there are pages missing, I just called Andrea and asked her to look over it," she explained.
"Oh, okay, thank you for noticing it you're great." Gabby smiled warmly at her.
Smiling back, "You're welcome. About your meeting with Commissioner Jefferson, he had to postpone it for next week".
"Oh no" Gabby dropped her head for a second and glanced up, " It's the second time he cancels with us, but what I can do? We need him to advance in our EMS plans for next semester."
"I'll talk to his assistant, Wilson, he's been replacing Karen, while she is on maternity leave for the next months."
"I appreciate it." Gabby checked the time on her phone, "It's 5.30 p.m you can go home, we are done for today."
"Are you sure?" she didn't want to neglect her work.
"I'm, please go home to your kids." Betty had two kids, they were 4 and 6 years old.
"Thank you, Gabby. See you tomorrow."
"See you."
Gabby had half hour before going home, she would verify her email's one last time. Going through her email's, she noticed she had missed a reply to one of them, to the Special Operations Division. Several minutes had passed when a knock at her door startled her.
She waited a few seconds to relax, "Come in".
Opening the door, he saw Casey standing in the doorway.
"Hey Casey, what-what are you doing here?" Gabby stood up as resting her arms over her chest.
"Sorry for interrupting you, headquarters called me to sign some papers, and I thought whether it was all right to check on you. I probably should go-" he stepped back.
"No, it's okay come in." Gabby walked around the table, flagging out a hand, indicating him to take a seat on the couch in her office.
"Alright" he gave her a small smile. He made his way to the couch as Gabby took the chair before her desk, shifting it to face Casey.
They eyed each other for a few seconds, "How have you been?"
"I've been great" Gabby answered, her heart beating fast. "I can't complain, you know."
"Yeah, I bet you miss your old days on the ambulance." tilting his head to her desk. There were piles of papers spread on it.
She turned her head slightly to look at it, then turn back, "I'm not going to lie, I hate this part of the job." rolling her eyes.
"I believe you if I was in your place, I would be insane staying all day in a room with a lot of paperwork to go through."
"You will be just fine, Captain Casey," she smiled shyly. "One day you'll make a Chief, following Boden's steps, making him proud."
His eyes wandered the room, "Maybe, I try something different, " he shrugged, " You know joining a group relief in Puerto Rico would be a good start." he voiced looking into her eyes.
Her eyes widened, her eyes move to his eyes and lips a few times, "Are you serious?"
"Yes, I volunteered I'm doing it during my furlough in two days." he informed her.
"Casey, I-I... What happened to Chicago guy?" She muffled her laugh covering her mouth.
He chuckled, enjoying seeing her laughing at his expense.
"Sorry, I couldn't help. You have me speechless, at least." Gabby crossed her legs.
"Later, I've reflected over it, Chicago guy, I felt embarrassed for saying that I've embraced the mission to help people, I can't put limits to it, I should be able to do it anywhere." He ran the tip of his tongue over bottom lip.
"It's value experience doing it in different places of this world, Matt. I am not the same person, you learn to be grateful, to give yourself to people even when you think you have nothing."
"We know so little about life. This opportunity to share something with others and learning from them, it's what excites me the most."
"It's great, really, but I have to confess I hate you for doing it now and not when I invited you." She said playfully.
"I hate myself too." A smile tugging at his lips as they locked eyes.
Swallowing hard, "Uh... Brett is going with you?" Her eyes avoiding his.
"No, it's just me we are giving a break." he clicked his tongue inside his mouth.
"I hope she didn't break with you for doing it." She implied.
"I told her that I don't see myself getting married again." Gabby shifted on her seat, " It's not something she should expect from me."
"Why is that so?" she narrowed her eyes at him.
Matt slid forward on the couch until he was sat on the edge of it, clasping his hands together.
"I've been engaged two times, Hallie died and you and I got divorced, I don't think the third time would be the charm."
"Matt, I am not saying you should marry Brett, but I don't like the way you think-", he cut in.
"I've known a lot of people that are not married and they are happy."
Gabby opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
"You and Cordova... you see yourself marrying him, it's something you two have been thinking about?", asked firmly.
"No, we are not like that", she shot back, " He's not my boyfriend, we just make each other company." Gabby conceded.
He was surprised, " Sorry, if I sounded rude." he dropped his head looking at the ground.
"It's okay, I would say that sometimes you are too intense." She didn't want to ruin the mood.
He lifted his head, "Yeah..." He smiled softly at her.
...
9 hours before Casey going to Puerto Rico
What was on her mind showing up at his apartment uninvited. Stella could give him that package or she could choose another time to send it.
That's it, you give it to him and get out of there. It's a simple task, you can do it, Gabby told herself.
She pushed the doorbell and waited; his apartment sounded so quiet. Three minutes had passed, she decided to ring it again.
Maybe, he wasn't home, he was enjoying his last night in Chicago at Molly's. If she had called Severide or Stella she wouldn't be there wasting her time.
After a few minutes, she assumed he wasn't there. Heading down the hallway to the elevator, as she was stepping closer, head slightly down, the elevator door opened.
"Gabby..." He spoke up as stepping out of the elevator.
Raising her head, "Hey..." She mustered a smile.
"You were waiting for me. Sorry I went to my sister's house."
"Don't be sorry. I didn't wait that long." She said shifting her weight on her feet.
"Please, come in." As he gave her upper arm a little squeeze.
"I think I should go..." Looking around, then resting her eyes on him.
"Come on what is it?" Referring to the package on her hands.
Gazing at the package, "This is a gift I will explain to you in your apartment." She gave in and followed his steps.
...
They were standing in the middle of the living room.
"I made a lot of friends there; I'd like to send them a few gifts I thought if you would take it with you. I checked with Chief Hatcher and they are still there, Tom and Ava."
"Of course, it'd be my pleasure." Gabby handed him the box and he carefully put it on the couch.
"Thank you, Matt I wish you a good flight and I have to say you certainly will make a difference in their lives...".
"I'll do my best." He replied as his eyes roamed over her face, staying longer on her lips.
"I have to go..." She admitted with a weak smile. Taking a deep breath, " Have a good night." Her voice faltered.
Before she could move her feet, he stepped in closer.
"You can stay for a little while." A smile played over his lips as he watched her over biting her lower lip.
Gabby eyed him cautiously, anything could happen, still, nothing should happen.
...
M M M
Without warning, he closed the gap between them as she threw her arms over his shoulders, wrapping her arms around his neck, their bodies and lips pressed together. Didn't take long for him pushing his tongue against her lips, asking for entrance. Gabby opened her mouth, his tongue slid in sweetly, playing with her tongue for several minutes, their moans filling the place.
His grip on her waist, made her grinding herself against his covered shaft. Gasping at the contact, "Oh fuck...", he descended his hands over her hips and groped her ass with his hands.
After a few seconds, Casey lifted her from the floor, gasping Gabby said, "I want you inside me please." She wrapped her legs around his hips, they pressed their lips again, her hands gripping the back of his neck.
From there, things escalated quickly Matt took her to his bedroom, putting her down, they helped each other undress, naked he sat down on the edge of the bed, waiting for Gabby to straddle him. When she got on top of him, their mouths met and their lips crushed together. His hands were frenetic, roaming up and down her all back, going to her ass.
He grunted as he slipped inside of her, then he let his hand lingering there, stroking his thumb over her clit, her wetness making him harder if it was possible.
"Oh fuck... keeping doing that... don't stop..." She pleaded.
Gabby rested her hands on his shoulder, starting to move up and down, it began slow and each second passed she moved a bit faster.
Casey loved each second of it, seeing her taking control of their love, it was the best feeling in the world.
"Don't hold back, babe you're so hot... " He whispered as they locked eyes briefly, Gabby giving him a wild smile.
Digging her fingers into his shoulders, Gabby's head fell back as Casey leaned forward and latched his lips on her nipples. Gabby's rolled her hips around a couple of times and minutes later Gabby felt her first orgasm into the night.
Flipping them over, Casey brought her to the centre of the bed, the movement causing his shaft slid out of her. Hovering over her body, he caressed her sides, then he saw her hand reaching down, Gabby stroked him a few times, he moaned in pleasure.
"Are you feeling good?" Still stroking him, he wrapped his fingers around hers, giving it more pressure.
"I am feeling great..." He murmured; their eyes locked. He would love to continue that way, but he wanted to be inside her. Reading his thoughts, he watched her guiding his member inside of her again.
With him between her legs, he leaned down and trailed kisses over her throat, as her eyes were closed.
"Give it to me, harder and faster..." She murmured.
Resting his arms both sides of her head, he began to thrust as her hands trailed over his back.
"... harder and faster..." Gabby moaned.
"... the way you like it, babe..." Pounding into her harder.
"Oh fuck... fuck... I love it..." Opening her eyes, their eyes met once again, "... kiss me..."
End of M M M
...
Hours later, Gabby got off the bed quietly trying to not waking him up. She went to the bathroom to the toilet and washing her hands, looking at her right side, she saw Casey walking in.
"You should be sleeping as you are flying in a few hours." He stepped closer to her and wrapped his around her.
"I don't want..." he pouted, "... I miss you..." Gabby laughed as he trailed kisses on her back.
Looking in the mirror, seeing their reflections, "You need a haircut."
"Next time we see each other; my hair will be amazing." Gabby tapped his arms, making both of them chuckled.
Turning her head slightly they shared a few kisses, as his hand slid up reaching for her breasts. They kept kissing as Casey's fingers were rubbing her nipples.
"There is something I need to tell you." Gabby spoke between kisses.
"We have time." Casey continued his moves to distract her.
"No, we don't..." Turning on his embrace. Gabby looked him dead in the eyes.
"Okay, I'm listening to you." His arms around her back as his eyebrows furrowed.
"While you are in Puerto Rico, I want you to take some time to think of what you want really for you-" He tried to cut in, but Gabby stopped him. "I've done that, we have to be better for each other, Matt love it's important, still it's not enough you have to fight for it every day, you know."
"I get it you're right; I'll focus on helping people and being a better person for myself and for the ones I love...".
Lifting herself up on her toes, Gabby brushed her lips against his. Kissing her, he lifted her up and put her on the sink.
Opening her legs, she got him closer.
"You're ready for another round?", he asked seductively.
"I'm always ready for you, don't you know, Captain Casey..." As she ran her hands through his hair.
"That's my girl..." Going for her mouth, their tongues tangled in a fiery kiss.
...
What do you think will happen next? Matt will be 30 days in Puerto Rico. Will Gabby and Matt pick up right where they left off?
Please review.
