"Ah... uhh... hrm." CD cleared her throat and without noticing it stroked
her forefinger along her lowe lip. "Uhh... no idea. I didn't see a blonde
woman kiss some guy."
"Well, could that be because you were the one kissing?" Kate already knew who had been kissing but she loved teasing CD.
"I uhh..." CD blushed.
"So?" Kate crossed her arms in front of her chest and lifted one eyebrow. "You wanna tell me something?"
"Not particularly." CD said still embarrassed.
"You're sure? Because an old reg comes up my mind which says that two officers in the same unit are not allowed to have an affair or relationship!" Kate knew that she would allow them a relationship no matter what but she wanted to hear it from CD's own mouth.
"Then I suppose if two officers would be considering some sort of affair one of them should better ask for a transfer." CD said sadly.
"Not nessescarly , IF there were to officers in love there would still be a cap who could probably manage something for them so that no one has to transfer. But therefor these two officers should tell their supervisor." She smiled at her.
CD nodded. "Maybe when their supervisor is out of the hospital again and they had some time to figure out just what exactly is going on between them they will have a talk with her."
"That would be fine with me." Kate smiled and then asked. "You want some eclipses? I love these thingies." She took one and offered CD another one.
CD chuckled and took one out of the box. "Thanks." And don't worry about these officers. You just get the hell outta here again because we miss you, alright?"
"Okay." Kate nodded smiling. "And now get the hell outta here 'cause I need my beauty sleep!"
CD smiled at her and put the little leaf into her mouth before walking out of the room again.
Outside Nate waited for her. "Hey sweety! What did she want from you?" He kissed her 'hello' but suddenly Nate broke the kiss and looked at CD: "Geez, what the hell did you do with your tongue?"
At that moment Jinny returned with a cup of coffee. She had seen the kiss and heard Nate's comment and started to laugh as she walked up to them. "That's called a French kiss Nate!"
"Very funny, Jinny!" Nate glanced at her but then turned his attention to CD. "Did Kate give you some of her medcine?"
"Actually it's called 'advice from Kate' - we have to talk to her once she's back at work." CD told Nate. "Apparently the nurses here considered us to be a hot topic and she had heard about some 'blonde woman kissing a handsome man outside'" CD told Nate.
"... half naked with one foot in the nearest bedroom." Jinny added, having heard that too at the coffee machine.
"Jinny!" Nate protested. Well, actually Jinny wasn't that wrong but he wouldn't have done it here in the hospital. "So, and what are we going to tell her? I mean I for myself still don't know where we are in this relationship thingie." He said cautiously.
"That's what I told her, that we need to figure out ourselves what we are before we talk to her."
"Okay, let me take you to a place where we can figure it out!" He took her hand and led her out of the hospital.
"You're up to something." She grinned following him.
"Okay, come over here!" He told her to sit down in his car then he blindfolded her so that she couldn't see where he was taking her. "Trust me!"
"You know I trust you." She said and reached up and caressed his cheek.
Nate took her hand and kissed it. "Okay." Then he started the car and drove to a place high above the city from where they would have a great view at the sun which was going to set down. They were all alone and Nate led CD to a small place where she could sit. Then he placed the champagne and the strawberries which he had organized earlier on a small blanket. Finally he let CD open her eyes. "I love you, Candace!"
She smiled at him. "I love you too Nate."
Somehow nervous as if it was his first date in highschool he said: "Uhm, hope you like this. Wasn't sure if you ..."
"I love it." She turned around and kissed him passionately.
He returned the kiss and stroked some of her hair behind her ear. "I've loved you since the first moment I saw you but I wasn't sure if I should tell you and then there was Brian ..."
"... and then Lily..." She nodded
"Yeah, and somehow we both didn't know what to do." He smiled and took her in his arms. "What did change your mind? I mean some time ago at the vending machine you didn't even seem interested in me breaking up with Lily."
She sighed and put her head on his shoulder, snuggling close to him. "I was interested... I just... ya know... I remembered what you told me once."
She then scooted away a little from him again and looked at him. "Your rules of dating. That when one woman isn't following your schedule she's out the door and hello to the next one. I figured you'd have another one by the end of the day and it's just starting all over again...." She realized that actually that was what had happened, just that she was the next one now. She looked at him frightened for a moment and then jumped up. "I gotta go." And started to walk away.
"CD! Wait! What's wrong? What did I do?" Nate was more than surprised by her reaction. No Lily or anything, everything had seemed perfect. "Please tell, what's the matter?" He'd followed her and now took her softly by her shoulders.
"Maybe we should just end this." She said and turned around. "It's just wrong"
"But why? I mean this is what I've been waiting for my whole life and it's 'just wrong'??" Nate didn't understand her.
"What if it's not what you want it to be? What if I fall behind your damn schedule? I don't wanna wake up one day so you can tell me I broke one of your damn dating rules so I'm out of the door and see the next one come in again already so you and het can pick up where we left off!" She said angrily. "If all you want is another scratch in your bedpost after Lily forget it right away!"
Nate was shocked. "CD, I never ... oh God, forget about these damn rules. I was joking. You're not just 'another scratch in my bedpost' until I find another. You're the woman I want to be with forever, not matter what! Oh God, you misunderstood that. I'm sorry. I never meant to make you feel this way. CD, please believe me. I love you. I never even felt something similar for Lily!" Nate begged her with his eyes to believe him. She was the one who he really loved and he wouldn't live without her.
CD looked at him a little uncertain. "Really?"
"God damn, yes. I want you more that anything else on this planet, Candace! Because I love you and I've been loving you the whole time we've been working together!" His hand touched her cheek.
She put her hand over his and smiled at him. "I want to believe you, I really do." She tok a deep breath. "I guess I'm just scared. I mean I know you're nothing like Paul. And I love you too, I love you so much. I think I always have, ever since the day I was born."
Nate smiled softly. This sounded so good to him. His deepest dreams were coming true now. "Oh Candace ... " He leaned over and softly kissed her lips.
She softly kissed him back and hugged him close.
Nate took her hand and led her back to the place with the strawberries and champagne. "Wait here, I just gotta go for ... uhm ... little boys, ya know?" He slightly blushed.
She smiled at him and kissed him gently and sat down to wait for him.
Nate went but not for peeing but for getting some flowers which he arranged as a ring for CD's head. He was glad that his grandma had forced him to learn this. On his way back he found a hose clamp which he picked up too.
"Here I am." He sat down next to CD hiding both items.
CD smiled when she saw him. "I missed you."
"I missed you more." He grinned and kissed her.
She kissed him back. "hope you didn't get bitten by a snake"
"Nope" he answered. "But I need to talk to you, Candace" Nate got serious.
She frowned at that. "You changed your mind?"
"In some way ... yes!" He answered teasing her.
"Great, just great." She sounded pissed but was teasing him too, having heard that in his voice.
"Would you marry me?" He said it right out of the blue. "I know this is maybe just not the right moment and those..." He put ring of flowers on her head and showed her the hose clamp "...are not what you deserve ..." He looked deep in her eyes. "But I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you ... more than that, I want to spent my life with you in eternity!"
CD looked at him completely stunned at that. "What?" She hadn't expected that at all. "I mean... oh my god!" And she hugged him so hard they fell to the ground together and she kissed him even deeper than before.
More than happy he returned the kiss with her being on top. When they finally broke for air he said softly and kinda uncertain: "So you agree? I mean I'll get you a real ring when we're back in San Francisco, I promise!"
"Hell yeah!" She smiled at him. "I love you more than everything. And I love your ring." She held her hand out to him.
Cautiously he got the hose clamp on her finger and adjusted flowers on her head again. Both fit perfectly. "You're so beautiful!"
She chuckled and smiled at him. "I look like a hippie I bet."
Nate grinned and made a peace sign with his fingers: "Peace, ey!"
CD laughed and slightly pushed him and then made the sign too and smirked at him. "Free love"
"Your wish is my command... " While kissing her, his hands were wandering her back up and down.
She moaned and kissed him back, exploring his body through his clothes.
Nate grinnend. Although he'd love to show CD how he felt he somehow decided it would be best if they waited a little. "Hey sweety. Get your hands off ....."
"What?" She looked at him. Then she thought he just didn't want to get caught. She looked around. "Nate come on, no one's here. Nobody will see us." She kissed him again.
