Chapter 2

After I finished my bubble bath, I climbed out of the tub, dried myself off and pulled on a pair of old sweatpants and a faded Mickey Mouse T shirt.

I wrapped my hair in a big fluffy blue towel, and went out into the hallway.

"Faith?" called Bosco.

"Yeah, I'm all done with the bath." I replied.

"Come on out to the living room." He called.

I went into the living room and Bosco was sitting on the sofa drinking a beer.

"Want one?" he asked.

"Yeah, ok, I'm not driving." I joked.

"They're in the fridge." He said, "Oh and while you're at it, throw a bag of popcorn in the microwave."

"Bosco, that bath was awesome, those jets are incredible." I said walking towards the kitchen.

"I'm glad you were able to relax and enjoy it." He said coming up behind me.

What happened next was so shocking to me, I didn't know if I had imagined it or not. Bosco leaned down and kissed me on the back of the neck.

"Bosco!" I exclaimed, not knowing what to think.

"Faith, I've been waiting a very long time to show you exactly how I feel about you. I've been feeling it every day since we became partners, but I was never able to tell you, because you were married to Fred."

"But what about you and Sergeant Cruz?" I asked.

"That's ancient history...And now that you mention it, Faith, there's something you need to know about Me and Cruz...I was only in it for the sex...it didn't mean anything, it was just sex. And Cruz showed me just how much she thought of me too, last time we were together, we had sex, and she moaned out another name...Faith I don't know how to tell you this, but well, guess who's name it was?" said Bosco

"Fred? My Fred? That bitch! She's dead the next time I see her." I exclaimed, breaking into tears.

"Faith.... its okay, come on; don't cry." Said Bosco wrapping his arms around me. "She's not worth it, believe me. And besides if Fred wants someone like her, instead of a babe like you, then he really didn't know what he had in the first place. Come on Faith, have a beer, and relax with me, I'll give you one of my famous Boscorelli back rubs."

"How could Fred do this to me." I sobbed, my knees went weak, and I fell forward Bosco grabbed on to me, and turned me around in his arms to face him.

"Listen to me Faith. Fred isn't worth the pain. And I'll tell you something right now, right here, right in front of you is a guy who'll never hurt you. You'll never lose me to another woman. Faith I've been in love with you for the past 13 years since we started working together as partners. It used to kill me when Fred used to come in and pick you up from work. It was a bitter reminder that I could never have you. And I guess that's why I never settled down in a relationship. The only woman I ever wanted to be with, I couldn't have." He said, smiling at me.

"Oh Bosco! That's really sweet. You really are an amazing guy, y'know?" I smiled at him through my tears.

"So what do you say Faith, will you give me a chance to show you how deep my love for you really is?" asked Bosco, taking a tissue from his shirt pocket and wiping away my tears.

"Yes!" I replied, not even giving it a second thought. I believed him; I believed every last word he just said to me.

Bosco and I stood there staring into each other's eyes for the longest time. And then it was like something clicked between us, and suddenly, he leaned in and kissed me softly and sweetly on the lips. And that was it! That was when I knew that no matter what else happened, I wanted to be beside Bosco forever.

"Maurice Boscorelli, I love you!" I said; kissing him back, this time it was a much deeper kiss that lasted a lot longer.

Then something hit me. And I broke away from Bosco. I went and grabbed my purse off the coffee table in the living room; I pulled out the envelope from Fred's lawyer, and pulled out the Divorce papers. I signed on the dotted line with no regrets.

"I'll send these back in the morning. And now Bosco, I say we celebrate, and make our love official, what do you say?" I asked.

"You got it!" he said.

Bosco took me by the hand, and led me down the hall to his bedroom. We sat on the edge of the bed, and sat staring into each other's eyes for the longest time. And then when he finally kissed me, it was a deep, very tender and loving kiss, which seemed to last for a long time.

Bosco laid me down on the big bed. All the while kissing my lips, and nibbling my earlobes, He kissed my neck, and slipped a hand under my t-shirt.

"Oh Faith!" he moaned as he fiddled with the front clasp on my bra.

"Oh Bos! I love you!" I moaned.

Bosco got my bra unclasped, and he got me to sit up, and slipped my T-shirt over my head, and gently removed my bra.

"Faith, your breasts are so beautiful." Said Bosco leaning down to take a nipple into his mouth. He licked and sucked and played with it for a while, making me moan and squirm underneath him.

I reached up and started unbuttoning the buttons on Bosco's shirt. After I was done I slid it off of him, and liked what I saw underneath, a firm, trim body, with nice pecs, and no beer belly like Fred used to have. I could definitely get used to that! His skin was so soft. It felt so good. I didn't even mind the little bit of hair on his chest. It was actually kind of sexy.

"Oh Faith, touch me!" he moaned.

I ran my hands over his back, and he continued to moan as we kissed.

Bosco started to remove my sweatpants, and I got a little nervous, but his sweet kisses on my lips were enough to tell me that it was okay. After he had them off, he leaned back from me for a little bit, to admire my body.

"You have a gorgeous body Faith. What a nice shape you have! Sexy!" he said kissing me again.

"So come on Boscorelli off with the jeans and boxers.... If I gotta be naked, then so do you." I teased.

Bosco stood up and took off his jeans, revealing a sexy pair of black boxers underneath. He slipped them off too, and we got under the covers together, I was surprised when I felt cool satin under me. Bosco slept on satin sheets!

We continued to kiss, touch, and explore each other's bodies for a long while, and then when he finally entered me at last, we both moaned softly.

We made love for hours, and stopped only when we noticed the sun coming up through the window.

"I love you Faith." Whispered Bosco as he drifted off to sleep in my arms.

I laid awake watching him sleep, holding him close to me, and feeling so loved and so wanted. And I knew that I wanted it to be like this forever. As far as I was concerned Fred and Cruz could burn in hell.
