Chapter Eleven
Pillow Talk
*****
He was no longer sleeping, but listened to her breathing. It was late afternoon and he was getting hungry. "Faith" he whispered, moving slightly. She didn't move but moaned softly. "Faith, come on get up." He nudged her gently.
"Just a few more minutes, please." She groaned, her eyes slit open just enough to see his.
"No way, I'm starving come on you promised me a date." He growled playfully.
She opened her eyes and suppressed a tired grin, "Wow, asking a women to get out of a bed? What's the matter Bos? You sick or something." She chuckled.
He smirked at her, but enjoyed the fact that Faith seemed to be in such a great mood. "Ha ha, you know what? You are a regular riot." He said sarcastically.
She slide her legs off the bed and sat there. She flushed slightly as she stared at him, she had shared a bed with Bosco, she felt like a teenager around him, 'it was just a nap' she reminded herself. She regained control of her thoughts and sighed contently. "Okay Bos, where are we going?"
He sat down next to her, and slide her arm comfortably around her, "I was thinking we could go get some dinner, then, stop by Ma's for a drink, I'm sure she's wondering how we're doing, plus might as well tell her we're together." He felt her tense up slightly.
"Well, you've got a plan, that's um... nice. I guess I'll go get ready." She mumbled looking almost lost for a moment, before turning and walking out of the room.
"Hey" he paused waiting for her to respond, he wasn't sure if she was ignoring him or did not hear him as she left the room. "Hey Faith!" He called after her.
She turned, hearing his second call. "Ya Bos?"
"Something the matter?" He inquired, with a frown formed by the confusion she was causing him.
"Its nothing Bos." She said biting her lip.
He sighed, not wanting to play ring around games around whatever was bothering her. "Faith"
She sighed inwardly, "Its just… How are the kids going to react to this. You do remember I have kids right?"
"No really Faith? You have kids? Wow, I reckon that just must of slipped my mind." He said, sarcasm dripping from his words.
Faith rolled her eyes, "No I'm serious, Charlie and Emily are going to be upset."
"I thought we weren't going to tell them for awhile?" He shifted his weight, before taking a step towards her.
"I know. God Bos… I don't know why I'm worrying about this, … I miss them. I haven't seen the kids in over a week… Fred says he's going to drop them off Friday…"
"I know you miss them. Friday huh? that's six days…" He paused, "So… How did it go today? I came over here earlier to see how it went but you seemed kinda tired." He chuckled, as he bent down and picked up his shoes that he had discarded on the floor earlier, sitting back down on the edge of the bed to put them on.
"It went fine. The divorce was finalized, all the papers are signed. I have joint custody of Em and Charlie." She reached down to pick up the stray sock laying on the ground.
"No problems with Fred or anything?" Bosco asked pleased that it was official.
"Nope, Everything went smoothly, Fred was actually nice."
"Wow, that's great Faith." He paused, unsure how long he should wait before finally adding "now can we go eat?"
"Okay okay."
*****
He limped slowly from his car up the small stoop. He glanced at the door and hesitantly knocked.
The flap opened and Maggie smiled, shutting it and unlocking the front door letting him in. "Sully, great to see you again." She said cheerfully.
"Hi Maggie. I was just umm… in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by." he stammered.
"Hey, you don't need a reason to stop by, come in." She assured him warmly, beckoning him inside.
*****
"You think he loves her?" Alex asked, leaning on his chest, they had been awake for awhile, but neither wanted to leave the warmth of the bed.
Davis paused, "Who?" he replied, half in horror fearing, that Alex may be referring to Sully and his mother.
"Bosco. Do you think he loves Faith?" She repeated, tracing her fingers over his chest.
He sighed, but didn't reply, he thought about if for a minute. "I think he does. He told her he loved her… I don't think he'd lie to her." His hand ran up her bare back.
"But Bosco's sleazy, do you think he'll cheat on her." She said a concerned for her friend.
"No, I've seen them work together, for the last three years, he cares about her, he'd break up with her before he did that, I know that much." He said chuckling.
"Do you think they will break up?" She said giving him a worried expression.
"What's with your new-found fascination with Bosco and Faith?" he asked chuckling.
She kissed his chest, "Faith's my friend, I don't want to see her get hurt."
"She's my friend too, but I don't think Bos will hurt her." He moaned as Alex moved her body to straddle him.
"Do you love me?" She asked.
He didn't hesitated before he saying, "Yes, Taylor I love you."
"I love you too Ty." She said bent to kiss his lips again, "What would I do without you?" She whispered, then slide off him and off the bed.
"Hey" he groaned, as he watched her walk towards the door.
She picked up her t-shirt that had been carelessly tossed onto the floor. "I'm hungry, want a sandwich?"
"I'm being ditched for lunch?" he mumbled to himself shaking his head.
Alex laughed, slipping the t-shirt on, "No, you're being ditched for dinner."
*****
The small Italian restaurant wasn't very busy, but it was pretty early. Bosco sat across from Faith, shredding a small piece of paper, a perplexed look on his face.
"What?" She asked feeling a bit uncomfortable.
He shrugged, "I was just thinking… What's everyone at the house gonna say about us?" he was worrying about his fellow officers making Faith uncomfortable.
"Who says everyone has to know about us?" She countered, reaching across the table and wrapping her hand in his.
He shrugged, "You're right, nobody has to know, at least not right now."
"Well… three people do know." She admitted feeling a bit guilty.
"Who?"
"Kim, Alex and Davis."
The waitress walked over carrying their food. "Can I get you two anything else?" she smiled warmly.
"No, thanks." Bosco said, not taking his eyes off Faith. "We are going to have a hard time hiding this from people, especially if they know." he chuckled.
"We're cross that bridge when we come to it." She gave him a reassuring grin, and the subject was dropped.
*****
"What do you think, your mother's going to say about us being together? You think she'll disapprove?" She mumbled, as she shivered hurrying towards the doors of the bar.
"No way, she will be thrilled." He chuckled, opening the door for her.
"Why do you say that?"
"Ma's always getting on my case about 'why I can't find a good women like Faith and settle down."
"Really?"
"Yes, I think she was just trying to give me a hint." He chuckled, "hindsight". He glanced around the main part of the bar, "She's not here." He muttered before she could say the same thing.
The bar was pretty filled with people, they walked around the bar twice, then towards the back office, knocking on the door loudly, no answer.
"Connie? Have you seen Ma?" The older red headed women waddled over to where Bosco and Faith stood. "She called in, she's not working tonight"
"But its Saturday." Bosco asked a bit in disbelief, his mother always worked on Saturdays, it was a bar after all.
"Yes it is. I'll let you know her handsome son stopped by."
"Okay, thanks Connie." He said, opening he door, Faith stepped outside and he followed.
*****
Bosco stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around his waist. He smiled, it was a bit early in the day for him, generally he would be grumpy in the morning, But not today. Today he went back to work. Even if it was desk duty, he was tired of being cooped up, he needed something to do, being in love helped his mood too. It was strange and he'd never admit this to anyone, but being in love, put everything in a new light.
He put on a t-shirt and jeans and grabbed his uniform. He headed down stairs and next door to Faith's apartment complex.
*****
Faith had been awake for a hour, she showered and dressed. Taking a few extra minutes to fix her hair and apply a tiny amount of makeup. She sighed softly, wondering where her relationship with Bosco would go. 'Relationship', she had to chuckle at that. She was worried about going to the Precinct, it was Bosco's first day back, and she was concerned about what people would say. Would they know. Okay, so Davis, Alex and Kim knew, but would everyone else?
The door knocked sternly, causing her to break her thoughts. She hurried towards the door, opening it without hesitation, "Hey Bos" she grinned.
"Hey" he murmured, placing a soft kiss on her cheek.
"Wow, you're early."
"I thought I'd try something new for a change" he chuckled. "Thought maybe we could grab some lunch before work."
"You read my mind, I'm starving." She said grabbing her purse, and following him out the door.
*****
Everyone made a big deal of Bosco and Sully's first day back, much to their surprise there was a small celebration in roll call, a cake and soda's were set up. Davis and Faith had guilty looks on there faces. The other Officers didn't have much time to celebrate, because they had to hit the streets. Which was a relief to both of them, they hated the attention.
Faith and Bosco were assigned to emergency dispatch for the day. Sully was working front desk and clerical, grunting occasionally in disgust. Faith had just put on her headset and was giving Bosco a look that matched his, they wanted to be on the streets not cooped up at the precinct, but physically neither were ready. The day dragged by, rather uneventfully.
"10-3 dispatch?" a unsteady voice came through loudly into Faith's ears.
"10-4, 55-Charlie go ahead" Faith answered, recognizing the rookie's voice immediately, Gusler, Davis's temporary partner.
"Officer Davis is missing, I need backup on 43rd and Amis."
A sense of dread ran down Faith's spine. "55-Edward, 55-Mark report to 43rd & Amis, possible 10-13" She flipped her radio off her head, in frustration her eyes met Bosco's, no words were needed, she placed her radio back on, and clicked back to 55-Charlie, without a doubt knowing this was not going to be a good day.
