"I should have let you kiss me," Simon breathed into the phone, cradling it between his head and shoulder as he shucked his suit jacket. The agent's first move upon returning home was to call CJ and apologize for being so skittish out on the sidewalk.
"Well, considering that we spent quite a bit of time kissing just a few days ago…" CJ responded casually, attempting to keep hidden her slight hurt.
"Yeah," Simon came back lamely, embarrassed. "But we before we weren't on the sidewalk in full view of the tail car and Pam."
CJ chuckled then paused; Simon heard strains of jazzy music in the background. "Listen, Simon, don't worry about it…I have to go to sleep—I'm beat," CJ finally said, her voice not sounding tired at all.
"Wait," Simon said, not ready to let her hang up. CJ didn't seem eager to talk, and Simon worried over why. Maybe she was upset about the awkward way he'd acted. "You're not mad, are you?"
"You'd know if I were mad at you, Simon" CJ responded, moving around her apartment to the sexy music on her new Sade album. The song playing now was perfect for the foolishness she was surely engaging in with Simon.
1.1 You're the sweetest taboo
1.2 that's why I'm in love with you
1.3 there's a quiet storm and I've never felt this hot before
1.4 I think it's you
1.5 giving me something that's taboo…
Simon cleared his throat, swallowing at the relevance of the lyrics. "Nice song,"
"It really is," CJ responded quickly.
"CJ."
"Simon."
She could hear him sighing at the end of the line, clearly torn about what was between their hearts.
"It won't always be this way. I promise," Simon finally assured CJ, wondering absently just how long that would take.
"I thought you couldn't guarantee me anything," CJ teased, settling down on her sofa happily at the thought of their relationship continuing.
"I also said I didn't need to see you naked, so maybe I lied twice," Simon responded, smiling at her flirtation.
"Well, technically you haven't seen me naked yet," CJ crooned into the phone, wondering with the back of her mind just how much more of a teenager she could be. She was acting like such a young girl with Simon, and it was unnerving her professional side. But maybe that was allowed, CJ thought, maybe it was all right to let loose with someone for once.
"Fair point, fair point," Simon chuckled. "Listen, CJ, we really can't be too careful. You understand that, don't you?"
"Of course," CJ responded quickly, not interested in going over this thread again. She just wanted Simon to care about her. "I have to go now, really…"
"All right. Goodnight…" Simon resigned to letting her off the line. "Oh, CJ?"
"Yes?" CJ pulled the phone back to ear just in time.
"I like your smile, too."
Hanging up the phone, CJ pressed her lips together and fought the giddy urge to jump up and down. Laughing quietly, she marveled at what Simon had brought out in her. Satisfied and knowing it would all turn out for the best, CJ moved to get ready for bed.
After putting the receiver down, Simon got out of his suit and settled on the couch. He couldn't sleep, and after finding nothing on television, the agents' attention was turned to his nearby gun. CJ had been impressed with his straight shooting, and it was true: there was a bull's eye on anyone working to hurt his CJ. The word flashed through his head like a lightening bolt. *His* CJ? Where had that come from? Whew, Simon thought with an amazed grin, she was reeling him in, and fast. *
