They had kissed. A kiss changes everything, or so Bug thought. Lily hadn't mentioned the kiss or the date since it happened. Bug was starting to wonder if Lily still liked him. He wondered if she had changed her mind about the whole thing. He walked into Jordan's office.

"Jordan…" He said.

"Hey Bug." She leaned back in her chair. "What can I do you for?" Bug cleared his throat.

"Have you talked to Lily?" He asked. Jordan nodded.

"I talk to her often. We do work together." She smiled.

"Yeah, I mean, has she talked about me?" Bug asked. Jordan shook her head.

"Don't think she has." She said, "Why?"

"No reason." Bug started to walk out, but Jordan stopped him.

"Now that you mention it…. I think she said something about you last week." Jordan said. Bug turned to her with a smile.

"Really? What did she say?"

"She said meet her at 3:00 at the flag pole after school." Jordan said. Bug frowned.

"Very funny." Bug muttered and walked out of the office. Even though he loved Jordan, she could be such a bitch sometimes. He smiled when he saw Lily, "Lily, we need to talk."

"About what?" She asked.

"Us." He said. Lily looked around her shyly.

"What about us?" She asked.

"I…I can't get that kiss out of my head, Lily and…I feel terrible that you haven't talked to me for two weeks. Did I do something?" He asked.

"What? No. You didn't do anything." Lily smiled, "I was just taking my time. I want a relationship with you."

"You do?" He asked. Lily chuckled.

"Yes, I do." She smiled, "You want one with me right?"

"Very much so." Bug murmured.

"Good." Lily said. She leaned over and gave him a quick kiss. "I'll see you after work." Bug grinned as he watched her walk away.

"Bug." Garret walked up to him.

"Yes?" Bug looked at him with nervousness.

"Do you think you could put a rush out on the Francisco case?" He asked. Bug breathed with relief. He thought Garret would be tearing his head off.

"Right away." He said rushing off.

Bug walked up to Lily as she started to shut the lights off.

"You ready?" He asked

"As ready as I'll ever be." Lily winked and she took his hand, "Want to drive me home? I took the T today."

"All right." Bug smiled giving her hand a gently squeeze as they stepped into the elevator.

"Want to come up to my apartment and have some dinner?" She asked. Bug looked at her.

"Your apartment?" He asked. Lily chuckled.

"Yes my apartment. It's where I live." She winked.

"I would love to come upstairs." Bug mumbled as they made it to the car. Bug was so nervous to talk to Lily while he drove to her apartment building. She had asked him upstairs after all. He has always wanted to be asked upstairs. Soon, they were in front of the building and Lily jumped out.

"Do you want like a big dinner or something to nibble on?" Lily asked as she unlocked the door.

"I would love to nibble on something." He said. Lily smiled at him.

"All right." She winked and walked up the stairs. "Don't mind the mess. I've been working too much and I haven't had time to clean."

"Oh I completely understand." Bug said as she unlocked her apartment door and stepped in. Bug looked around. It was completely spotless, "Yes…very messy." He chuckled.

"I told you." She smiled, "Why don't you make yourself comfortable." She suggested. "I'll be right back. Just need to change out of this." Bug nodded. Make myself comfortable? What did she mean by that? Did she want him to loosen up? She was changing. Oh lord. Bug took his jacket off and sat on the couch nervously. Soon, Lily came back out. She wasn't wearing her dress anymore. She was wearing simple shorts and a T-shirt. She looked gorgeous as always, "What do you want to eat?"

"You….I mean, You choose." He said. Lily chuckled.

"Just something to nibble on." She went into the fridge. "You can put a movie in if you want."

"All right." Bug got up and looked over all her movies She had tons of them. He picked up Untamed Heart. A chick flick would do well. He put it in the VCR and sat back down.

"Strawberries and wine. How's thins?" She sat down next to him.

"Just fine." He smiled as Lily shut the lights off.

"Good time to wind down after work." The movie was starting, but Bug couldn't take his eyes off of Lily's legs. He bit his lips as he slid his arm around her shoulders. She smiled softly at him and then focused on the movie.

Things were going well. They were snuggling. They were enjoying being close to one another, but then Lily's attention started to wander. She could hear Bug's heart beat. She looked up at him. The light from the television was bouncing off of his features. He was looking so sexy.

Lily tilted her head up and placed her lips on his. He was quick to respond this time. Bug's hand went up to run through her silky hair. Lily lay back against the couch, pulling Bug on top of her. The sexual tension had been too much for her to bear.

Lily's slender legs almost wrapped around Bug. His hear thumped loudly in his chest. He was so close to her. He started to kiss her cheek and then her neck. Lily shivered and groaned loudly. Her neck was her spot. Lily ran her hands down his chest. She pulled his shirt out of his pants. She just needed to feel his skin.

Bug's head was spinning. He had his goddess beneath him and- Bug groaned when he felt Lily's hands on his stomach. His skin burned beneath her touch. He groaned loudly. He wanted to take this to the next level. He wanted to make love to her.

"We should stop." Lily whispered as she panted.

"Are you sure?" Bug mumbled against her neck.

"No." She murmured. Her head was dancing. She wanted to make love to him, but not yet, "Yes…I'm sure." Bug pulled away and looked at her.

"Really?" She nodded.

"Yes." She said kissing him softly. "I want to wait." He nodded.

"All right." He said, "I'll wait with you." Lily smiled.

"You love me don't you?" She asked knowing the answer.

"Yes." Bug said softly.

"Good. I feel myself falling hard for you as well." Lily said. Bug's heart thumped in his chest. His goddess was falling for him. "Stay here tonight? I don't think I could say goodbye."

"I will stay as long as you need me to." Bug whispered. This was going to be a wonderful relationship he could already tell.
