Maurice Boscorelli only came to work smiling, usually, if he had sex the
night before. Naturally, Ty Davis and John "Sully" Sullivan assumed he had
hooked up with a special someone (or some drunk broad at the singles'
table) when Boscorelli walked into the 55th Precinct headquarters -
whistling and smiling cheerily.
"So, how was it?" Davis asked, as he buttoned his shirt. Bosco shot him a confused look, then continued pulling his pants over his boxers. "How was it?"
"How was what?" Bosco reiterated.
"Last night," Davis hinted quietly. He checked his image in the mirror, making sure to tuck his collar properly.
"How'd you find out about last night?" Bosco straightened up, a concerned look playing on his face.
"Come on Bosco. I didn't have to find out about your wild night. You and I both know you only come in happy if you got something last night," Ty chuckled softly.
"Oh, is that so?" Bosco snickered.
"Yea,"
"Well it so happens, Officer Davis, that I didn't get anything last night," Bosco stated matter-of-factly. "In fact, I didn't even lay a hand on the girl."
"So there was a girl," It was more of a statement than a question.
"Where's Yokas?" Bosco changed the subject.
"Not here, yet. What was she like?" Davis wouldn't be that easily outsmarted even on his worst day.
"Christ, Davis! Get on with it! Nothing happened between Raeanne and I!" Bosco snapped. Davis, not in the least bit surprised, left Bosco in peace. Sully, who had been quietly changing and overheard the entire conversation, shrugged at his young partner.
"You actually went back to that girl's apartment, Bos?" a new voice spoke up. Bosco looked up from his perch on the bench, where he was angrily knotting his shoelaces. Faith Yokas, looking somewhat pressed for time, was already in her uniform.
"Yea, I did. What's it to ya?" he nodded.
"Jesus, Bos. I'm only asking you a simple question, you don't have to go and crucify me for it," Faith retorted. "You didn't seduce her or anything, did you?"
"Why does everyone think that whenever a girl and I have a good time together it means that we're out having a good screw?" Bosco scornfully asked.
"Well I don't know if you've ever noticed it, Bosco, but you do have somewhat of a reputation for having one night stands and fooling around with people you're not even dating,"
"She must be a challenge," Davis winked, as he and Sully headed for the attendance room.
"Yea, piss off Davis!" Bosco cried out after him. He looked at his partner, who was biting her lip in hesitation. "She's different, Faith."
"You're sure about this, Bos?" she asked. "You know what you're getting into?"
"Faith, for some reason I didn't want to do anything with her, and she didn't even try to put a move on me. That's got to tell you something,"
"She's a lesbian?"
"Yokas," he groaned. "I mean, she's a decent girl. I haven't had a girl who didn't put a move on me in one night in a long time. Since..."
"Nicole," Faith supplied gently. She knew it was a touchy subject. Bosco's eyes and heart melted at the mention of her name. He had loved Nicole with all his heart, and she had gone and left him in a matter of seconds. He should've never confronted her about her past.
"She's not like her," he sighed, running a hand through his short brown hair. "The funny thing is, all we did last night was go on her roof and watch the stars for an hour or two while we talked about life. I haven't ever done that with someone. It's always been something physical."
"That's the best kind of relationship to have," Faith smiled. "Are you going to see her again?"
"She's stopping by the Precinct after the shift is up. I'm going to help her move some of her stuff around,"
"Hey, Bos?" Faith stopped her partner as he headed for the attendance room. "I only want the best for you, Maurice. I hope you two are great together."
"So, how was it?" Davis asked, as he buttoned his shirt. Bosco shot him a confused look, then continued pulling his pants over his boxers. "How was it?"
