"Hey, how come you came to work, today. You said you weren't coming today," Eames said in surprise while searching for her cell as Bobby walked through the office door and into a somewhat over decorated office that was meant for catching some of the worst criminals there were.
Her table was already heavily laden not only with papers, but masses of cards, chocolates from many 'secret admirers.' But no roses yet, Goren observed.
All the people around were chatting, not really doing work. Instead they were busy trying to figure out who sent them, and others, like Deakins, were pretending not to notice. Tables were loaded with chocolates, card and other gifts.
"Ah!" he exclaimed. "That's where you're wrong. I never said I wasn't coming, you just *assumed* I wasn't coming."
Bobby corrected her, putting emphasis on the word 'assumed' while smugly trying to conceal a smirk.
"Here we go with the assume jokes," she muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes. This day was already bad enough without Bobby annoying her further. Besides she just really wasn't in the mood.
"What was that?" Goren asked in a playful tone. "Need I remind you that last night you were the one who started with whole 'assuming' thing."
"Alright," Eames sighed in defeat. This day was getting longer by the minute.
"Now that you're back Bobby, get on with your paperwork," a voiced ordered from across the room. "You're even further behind then Alex here is. Now get to it."
Alex and Bobby exchanged glances, was it just them, or did Deakins just use their first names? But Deakins had already turned and retreated back to the confines of his office. Man, the air in the room must have been affecting him!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Why are you still standing around?" Eames asked Bobby a little while later.
Still standing, Bobby grinned down at her and watched her try to work as if no one was watching (or grinning!) stupidly at her like he was.
Getting overly annoyed at his constant 'grinning' Alex looked up and asked, "All right, what are you doing?"
"What's with the 'all rights?" he asked back at her being deliberately more annoying
"Nothing," she sighed. If he was trying to pee her off, he was doing an A plus, plus job.
"Ok, I'm just standing around watching you, that's all," he verified for her finally taking the hint.
"And the grin?" she asked hoping that he'd leave her alone before she seriously did him some permanent damage.
"What grin? Who's grinning? Am I grinning? Do I look like I'm grinning?" he said flooding her in a sea of questions. He never did and still didn't understand why she disliked Valentines Day so much. It wasn't like she wasn't popular or anything. In fact she had so many admirers in the building that he was the envy of every man he knew.
"What's behind your back?" she asked breaking him out of his little reverie. Standing up to stretch and give her back a break from all the paperwork, she noticed that they were behind his back and not in his pockets as per usual.
"Cause, it's Valentines Day!" he said by way of an answer. Suddenly he holds out a bunch of flowers for her and grabs her in a massive bear hug. Before letting go, he dropped a kiss onto her smooth check, and whispered, "Happy Valentines Day!" He then stepped back and grinned, measuring her reaction "I knew no one would bring flowers it's so damn cold."
"Thanks Bobby," Alex stammered obviously flustered. She really had no idea what to say, as she really wasn't expecting this from him. "They are really pretty."
"Just like you." It was a mere slip up, and Goren turned a very interesting shade of pink, the, I-know-I-shouldn't-have-said-and-I-hope-she-doesn't- know, one.
"You are, you know that don't you. To me"
OHH! Shit! I think I've done it now.
"Thanks," she said to him and blew his a kiss, which he pretended to catch. They both clearly didn't care who saw them acting this way. Or so they thought.
"Detective Robert Goren! Stop flirting with your partner and get on with your paperwork!" Deakins scolded from behind his closed office door.
"Better do what he says," Bobby told Alex sheepishly. Looking around the room, every other pair of eyes were directed at them. Both wondered what they'd missed.
"And what's with the full names?" Alex asked him. "He just scolded us like we're little kids."
They both just smiled and laughed and got back to their work. The day had turned out better than Alex had ever imagined.
