Chap. 7


Mimi yawned loudly, "What time is it?"

Jason started. He had been half asleep. He rubbed his eyes and looked at his watch. "It's 5:30 am."

Mimi stood and stretched, "We're just wasting time here. It could take days to get a match on the prints."

Shawn had went home hours ago. "Oh, no! I'm having dinner tonight at Belle's! I totally forgot."

Jason frowned, "So? What's the big deal?"

Mimi rolled her eyes, "Belle is like the momma hen from hell. She'll be able to tell that I haven't slept and she'll give me the third degree. I gotta get some sleep."

"Yeah me too."

"Do you have anywhere to stay yet?"

"No, not yet. I could stay with my parents, but why would I want to torture myself?"

"Well, that settles it. You can stay with me. Just for a little bit. Hey, you can even come to dinner with me and distract Belle."

Jason grinned, "Okay, but you gotta keep your hands to yourself."

Mimi laughed, "It's not me I'm worried about."


Jason left his cell phone number with Howard the lab guy and instructions to call it if they didn't answer at home. Mimi and Jason collected their things and headed to Mimi's apartment.

Mimi opened the door and Jason followed her. Her apartment was small and simple, but it suited her. She had a couch and TV in the living room with a small dining room table in the corner. It was a one bedroom. "So I guess it's couch city for me, huh?"

Mimi laughed, "Duh. You think I'm sleeping on the couch? Dream on."

Jason walked up to Mimi, invading her personal space and almost touching her, "Oh, I can imagine what my dreams will hold tonight Ms. Lockhart," Jason said in a deep voice.

Mimi's heart was pounding in her chest and she couldn't think straight. She dropped her keys and the sound jolted her out of his trance.


Mimi got a blanket and pillow from her bedroom and threw them on the couch."Good night Jason."

Jason smiled lazily, "Night, Meems."


Mimi woke up around 2:00 pm the same day. 'Jeez, I can't believe I slept this late.'

Mimi threw the covers off and headed for the kitchen. She needed caffeine. Bad.

She had forgotten all about Jason being there till she saw him laying on the couch. She had to stifle her laughter, or else she would wake him up. There was Jason Welles, laying in an inhuman fashion on the couch in just his boxers, sound asleep. 'And looking adorably cute too' Mimi thought.

'He has the best body I have ever seen! Not to mention he was a pretty nice guy when he wanted to be.'

Jason was asleep with the covers wrapped around one of his legs, the pillow clutched tightly in one arm, and his head at what looked to be a painful position.


Finally Mimi was able to stop laughing and made some coffee. She was just about to bring him a cup when strong arms reached around her waist and a muscular chest brushed her back. Jason reached around Mimi and took his cup of coffee.

Mimi turned around to face him. Jason stayed just as close to her.

Mimi frowned, "I thought we said hands to our selves?"

Jason grinned, "You were hogging all the coffee."

Mimi arched an eyebrow, "Oh, I see. You'd rather have a cup of coffee than me?"

Jason looked her up and down. She looked pretty good in a tank top and pj pants. He set his coffee down and braced his hands on either side of her. Trapping her.


Mimi's heart started beating fast again. She had decided that she did want Jason and was pretty sure he wanted her. What was the harm in a little fun?

Mimi scooted up on the counter and Jason stepped between her open legs. He was still in just his boxers.

Mimi smiled, "So do you want some sugar for your coffee?"

Jason shook his head.

"Some honey?"

Jason shook his head again, "I want something sweeter than honey."

With that Jason leaned in and brushed his lips across hers. Then Mimi pressed herself against him, wrapping her arms around his neck. Jason's tongue sought entrance at her mouth. Mimi happily granted it. Their tongues danced and mated. Finally they broke apart, breathless. Mimi wrapped her legs around his waist and they headed for the bedroom.
