Game Of Love
3/3

*****

The tension between them resolved, Bosco wanted out of Anti-crime. He left Faith's apartment with a grin on his face. She had kissed him and she had said when she was ready. He hoped she'd be ready soon, he wanted a relationship with her, a real relationship.

He hurried to his Mustang, checking his watch he knew Cruz would still be at the precinct. His engine purred as he drove the short distance.

Bosco knocked on the window of the room that contained Cruz. He could see she was alone, nodded for him to come in.

"What's up Boscorelli?" She muttered, sweeping the hair out of her eyes, her expression changed, pushed the door closed and locked it, a evil grin appeared. "You need someeeething?" she purred as she took a step toward him attempting to kiss him.

He side stepped her, "I want out of Anti-Crime." he stated bluntly.

Her evil grin turned to a ugly frown, as anger flashed in her eyes. "What's the matter Boscorelli? Anti-crime too tough for a sorry cop like yourself." She spat. "You were never gonna be in anti-crime permanently."

"Okay, then I guess this conversation wasn't necessary, I'm back on patrol tomorrow with my partner." Bosco said shrugging his shoulders, turning around to unlock the door.

Cruz grabbed him by the crotch, pushing him against the wall, "You talk about what happen while you were here and I'll make you live to regret it." She whispered into his ear.

Bosco grimaced in pain, he bucked her away from him, doubling over in pain. "You fucking bitch."

"Remember you will be the first to go down, your name is on the dying declaration, not mine. And trust me I can get stuff on your perfect partner, and if I can't find anything I'll make it." She threatened, unlocking the door and slipping out, leaving Bosco on the ground.

:::Five Weeks Later:::

55-David had returned to normal. Bickering, laughing and bantering which brought smiles to both of their faces at the end of the shift. Neither had spoken about the kisses, and Bosco had left out the whole confrontation with Cruz.

It was nearing the shift when Bosco pulled the RMP near the bridge where they usually had downtime.

"What's the matter Bos?" Faith asked concerned.

Bosco unhooked his seatbelt and started to open the door. "This is one of the only spots you can really see the stars. Come on." He replied.

She shook her head in amusement and got out of the car, following him to the fence near the river.

"Okay here, look." He said his hand touched her arm turning her to face the area she could see the stars most clearly.

"This is amazing Bos." She grinned, his hand still on her arm.

"Not as amazing as you, but its nice." He removed his hand and took a step away from her.

"You been practicing that line?" She laughed, punching him playfully in the arm.

"You noticed? Its true thou." He sighed, turning back towards the RMP.

"Hey Bos?" She said following him.

"Ya?" He turned.

"I um.. Was wondering if ya wanted to come over to my apartment after work? I called Stanley and he picked up Em and Charlie after school today, he's watching them tonight. I just wanted to talk to you about some stuff." She said, kicking a stone with her foot.

Bosco grinned, but refused to get his hopes up. "Of course."

Faith pulled a t-shirt over her head, and pulled on a pair of blue jeans, she combed her hair. Davis was sitting on the bench staring at the wall. She glanced at Bosco, who was fumbling with his shoes. "Hey Ty? What's the matter?" She asked.

Davis shrugged, "I'm worried about Sully." He stood up and left the room.

"Poor Ty." She murmured, turning to Bosco. "You ready?"

*****

They pulled up to the curb of Faith's apartment complex. It had been a silent ride, Faith wasn't sure exactly what she was going to say anymore. They headed up to the second floor, and Faith unlocked the door. "I'm going to put a pot of coffee on." She mumbled heading for the kitchen.

"Alright" Bosco replied, sitting down on the sofa.

Faith returned to the living room carrying two cups of coffee.

"Aww just the way I like it." Bosco murmured taking his cup.

She smiled, sitting down on the sofa chair across from him, she stared into cup and then back at him. "You said when I was ready, well, if you're still interested, I'm ready, I'll go on a date with you." She said softly, staring into the cup again.

Bosco's confused look, turned into a grin. "You won't regret it Faith, I promise." He reached and took her hand, just wanting the contact.

"I know I won't" She said confidently, the glint in her eye returned, a smile across her face.
