They were sitting in the squad car in an almost empty parking lot by the river. Bosco was sick of getting cat's down from tree's, chasing peeping toms and getting drunks to quit fighting each other so he decided to lay low for awhile and let Sully and Davis have some fun. He was feeling much better today then he was the night before, especially after he found out that Faith had given Fred the boot and by the time he had picked her up for work he was out of there. It also helped when she mentioned that she had trouble sleeping the night before, actually it helped a lot.

"Let's go out on a date." Bosco said cheerily and suddenly

"What?" Faith managed to say after choking on the orange soda she was drinking.

"A date Faith, you know dinner, movie, dancing...a date."

"Us?"

"Yeah us, What's wrong with that?"

"Well it's weird....us on a date. Isn't it?"

"What's weird about it?" Bosco said getting touchy.

"Bos. You, me out in public dancing, going to a movie, dinner....it's weird. Besides what if someone saw us? I thought we were going to keep this quiet for now, it hasn't even been a week."

"Ok fine then.Never mind it was a stupid idea" he said hurt. He thought it would be great to spend the evening with her like a normal couple, out having fun. They could have went to the other side of town no one they knew would be over there.

"Bos" She could tell he was hurting about this. It wasn't that she didn't want to go it just surprised her.

"Look I just asked because you were complaining that Fred was taking the kids for the weekend and since we have tomorrow off I thought it would be nice to spend sometime with each other."

"Of course I want to spend time with you, that's not even an issue. It's just I don't know if we're ready for the whole date in public thing."

Maybe she was right. It could end up being more pressure then fun but he had an idea.

"Faith do you trust me?"

"Of course I do, I trust you with my life you know that."

"Then do me a favor, be dressed and ready to go at seven tomorrow night." He said looking at her with a smile.

It was hopeless arguing with him, he was just to stubborn when he wanted something. Well that and she just couldn't resist that smile of his. So she agreed to trust him and go with him on this. She was hopping it wasn't going to be a mistake.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She was throwing cloths all over her room, she had nothing to wear. She had tried on everything at least twice and nothing. She should have went out and bought something but now it was too late. She kept telling herself it was no big deal just to put on the first thing she grabbed but it just didn't work. So for the third time she started trying on her cloths.

He was running around his apartment getting ready. It took awhile but he had decided on what to wear. Being this nervous for a date was new to him. He was usually calm as can be but this was Faith which was also weird. You would figure that because they had known each other for so long that this would be a piece of cake but instead it was like being in high school getting ready for your first date. He looked at the clock and noticed it was time to pick up Faith. He took a deep breath and put on his coat. "Well it's now or never" he said to himself and left his apartment.

After trying her cloths on five time she had finally decided on what to wear and had just finished with everything when she heard a knock on the door. "Shit" She wasn't expecting him to be on time, this was Bosco. She gave herself another look over in the mirror and decided that it would have to do. She left her room and answered the door.

There standing in front of her was the most gorgeous man she had ever seen. Bosco was standing there in black dress pants, dress shoes and a white dress shirt. His hair was styled to perfection. He was holding a big bouquet of red roses with baby breath scattered about.

"Hi" she said quietly.

"Hi. These are for you." He said as he handed her the roses. He was taking in her appearance. She was breath taking. She was wearing a red spaghetti strapped dress that had tiny silver bands where the straps met the dress, it fitted her perfectly, it clung to all the right places. The skirt of the dress was flowing and stopped just above the knee. She had her hair up with a few strands of hair falling by her neck. Her shoes were red strappy heals that complimented the dress perfectly. "You look beautiful"

She felt herself blushing "Thank you so do you, I mean you look handsome." She corrected herself with a tiny smirk. She took the roses and walked into the kitchen and put them in a vase. She took one out so she could carry it with her. She took a deep breath smelling the roses and smiled 'maybe tonight won't be so bad after all.'

"Well we should be going." He said walking up to her and giving her his arm.

She wrapped her arm in his and they left for there date.

"Shit, I forgot something we'll have to swing by my place again." Bosco said to Faith as they were driving down her street.

"That's fine."

They were in his parking lot a few minutes later. He turned off the key and looked at her. "You coming up? I don't think you should stay here by yourself."

She thought she would be fine but when Bosco was in his protective mood it was best just to play along. So she went with him to his apartment. When they got there he opened the door and let her walk in first. She took a step in then stopped. The whole room was lit by candles. Soft music was playing and in the middle of the room was a candle light dinner set up for them. She looked back at Bosco who was wearing a big grin on his face.

"Do you like?"

"Bosco I love it, It's beautiful. You went through all this trouble for me?"

"Faith nothing for you is ever trouble. Don't you know that yet?" He closed the door, took her wrap and leaned in and gave her a kiss.

"You spoil me." She said with a smile.

"Well that's the plan."

He took her hand and led her to the table and pulled out her chair. After she sat down he went and got the dinner and they ate. She had loved it. Which made him beam with pride. He had told her he could cook and now he had proved it. They had sat there talking for a little while when Bosco excused himself and went to his room for something. He returned with a medium sized red velvet jewelry case. He handed it to her.

"Bos what is this? You didn't have too get me anything." She said surprised at the present he had given her.

"Open it would you."

She slowly lifted the lid and gasped when she saw what was inside. It was a fine chain silver necklace and on it was a small silver heart surrounded with diamonds. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She had began to cry not only because it was so beautiful but because he had remembered.....it had to have been over a year ago, They were called in for a break and enter on a jewelry store. Not much had been stolen, the robbers had been scared off to soon. She was looking around as Bosco was taking a statement and she had seen it in one of the cases. It was beautiful. She had fallen in love with it but she knew there was no way she could ever afford it. Bosco had finished with his statement and walked up to her and noticed her looking at it. He asked her about it but she just blew it off as nothing. She didn't want him to know how badly she had wanted it....With shaky hands she took it out of the box and looked at it. It sparkled in the candle light. She went to unclasp it but he stopped her.

"Here let me." He got up and moved around the table and gently took it from her hands. He unclasped it and put it around her neck. He kissed the nape of her neck then he grabbed her hand and turned her sideways on her chair. He kneeled in front of her and lifted the heart slightly "You have my heart Faith. You've always had and always will. I love you." He said softly

She was still crying. No one had ever been so sweet to her or treater her like this. She touched his face and leaned in and gave him a soft kiss. "You have heart too Bos, you always will. I love you...Thank you. I love it....How did you ever remember?"

"I saw how you were looking at it that night in the jewelry store. I knew you wanted it so the next morning I went by and picked it up for you. I just didn't know when I would ever get the chance to give it to you."

He stood up and picked up her hand he led her to the middle of the living room floor he wrapped his arm around her. His hand resting on the small of her back. His other hand was still holding hers, he brought it up to his chest and pulled her close. She leaned against him and rested her head on his shoulder, nuzzling her face into his neck. They began swaying to the music. They danced for awhile. Loosing themselves in each other. Treasuring how it felt to be in each others arms. How it felt to have there bodies pressing against each other, How it felt to be completely peaceful. Nothing could ever touch them. They had each other and that was all that mattered.
