~ Brennan's apartment ~

The two of them had decided to watch a couple of old movies to waste time. Brennan had a large collection of videos stacked and it took them quite a while before they could actually pick a film or two that both of them enjoyed.

Shalimar got the videos out at the same time that Brennan got some popcorn. It was a bit early for popcorn, but it's not like they got to do something like this everyday.

Shalimar had a nagging feeling deep inside. She desperately wanted to just run out and go back to Sanctuary to tell them that she was okay and then come back to enjoy his company, but then she didn't want to leave him incase she wouldn't see him again. There was just something about him that she couldn't put her finger on...

Every now and then Brennan would catch Shalimar watching him. She thought he was cute, making sure everything was ok and knowing where everything was. In a way, he kind of liked it. He liked getting some attention and for some reason, he liked getting her attention.

'So Emma, I've programmed some things into the database and every now and then something will happen. I'm going to train you first on your reactions. You have to know what happens and what to do. Okay?'

'Sure.'

'Ready?'

'Ready.'

A while had passed and nothing had happened yet, but suddenly the alarms went on and Emma saw about 3 GSA agents come in. She sent a psiblast to two of them and then physically fought the last one.

Adam wasn't expecting her to fight him, but was glad that she had had some physical experience.

'Good. Well done Emma, that was good. I jsut wanna do one more.'

Another 10 minutes had passed, and Emma felt quite stupid waiting there knowing that something was meant to happen. *Training is so boring sometimes!*

She was caught a bit off guard when 4 agents came in this time. She decided to test her range...she concentrated all her psychic energy on getting rid of the agents and sent a black blast in order to make them feel overpowered. As soon as it had reached all four agents, they all fell back and disappeared.

During all this, Adam was standing watching in awe. This was the first time that he had ever seen her or any other psionic do something like this. He had no idea she was such a strong psionic.

'Um...wow...Emma, well done' He had to cough just to hide the hint of surprise in his voice.

'Thanks, that's the first time I've done it...I never could get a hang of it before. I guess I just needed the right training!' She threw him a killer smile, and he knew he was meant to take it as a compliment.

'Well, I had no idea that you could do that, but well done anyway. You certainly surprised me.'

'Well, like I said...never undersestimate a mutant female!'

Adam couldn't help but laugh. She was right, he had underestimated her.

'Well, I don't think there's any need to carry on here, I'm gonna take you back to Sanctuary.'

'Okay, thanks Adam.'

~ Brennan's apartment ~

They were about one hour into the first film and had both taken comfortable places on the sofa. Brennan was sitting on the end leaning on the chair arm, and Shalimar was lying sideways with her head resting on his lap.

Truthfully, both of them loved sitting like this. But none of them dared to mention it, they didn't think it was necessary. Brennan thought he heard purring but then he decided that it must have been the cat outside in the hallway. The person living opposite him had a cat, and always let it walk around outside.

It wasn't until about 5 minutes after that Shalimar realised she was purring. She mentally kicked herself for doing so, it would have been so close as for him to find out about her. She was so content at the time, and she didn't want to go. She knew though, that as soon as she had the chance that she had to go.

She was practically falling asleep in his lap, and then she suddenly felt him stroke her arm.

*Hmm...if only he could do this every day...stop Shalimar! It'll never happen! But he's so sweet...*

It felt so soft and he was so gentle, it gaves her shivers just feeling his hand near her. He felt her shiver and looked down at her. It was only then that he realised he was stroking her arm.

He stopped not knowing what to do or say. They had spent the last half hour not saying anything to eachother at all.

'You thirsty?'

Shalimar turned her head and looked up at him, 'No thanks, I'm comfortable now.'

He smiled at her comment, and couldn't find anything to reply but 'Me too.'

'What time did you say you had to go out?'

'Uhh, about 6ish, why?'

'Just wondering...' Shalimar actually planned that as soon as he'd go out, it would leave her free to make her way home. She had no idea where they were though and how far away she was. But all she needed to do was find a familiar road, and she'd be fine. Besides, she had to get back so that Adam could scan her and make sure nothing was wrong with her.

'Okay then. You don't have to say.' He didn't ever feel that he needed to push her to get something out of her. If she didn't want to say something, then she didn't have to.

*I love it when he doesn't force me to say something.* She smiled at him making eye contact for the first time in a while. He looked down and noticed just how brown her eyes were. He looked into them, and felt as if he was being hypnotised or something.

Without either of them realising, Shalimar had sat up so she was more or less eye level with him. Both of them had forgotten at why they couldn't get together. All that was in their minds at this moment, was him, her and nothing else.

He gently moved a lock of her hair away from her face and tucked it behind her ear, leaving his hand there at the same time. They both leaned in slowly making sure that this was what was meant to happen, and their lips were an inch away from eachother. Brennan closed the distance between them and sealed it with a kiss.

She responded to his kiss and made it a lot more passionate than it was meant to be.

'Bren..nan...Brennan..we..shouldn't..do this..I..can't..' Shalimar had managed to squeeze a few words here and there between their kisses. She so wanted this, but she knew that it could all be ruined if he ever found out about her.

'I know, but..you know..I..kinda..like..it..' Brennan understood what she was talking about and why. He even agreed with her, but he just couldn't find the right time to pull away.

They were disturbed with a knock on the door, though, which caused them both to part and turn different shades of red. They both mumbled 'sorry' as Brennan made his way to the door. Shalimar just remained on the sofa, reliving the moment that had just happened between the two of them.
