Leaving or staying
Bosco was trying to come at ease. He didn't know why, but he could always think better when he was in the shower. The water made him more calm and relaxed and that was something he really needed right now. He was trying to figure out a way to tell his long- time partner he was leaving the precinct, New York and her…
His thinking was disturbed by 4 knocks on the door. That could only be Faith but she was early or wasn't she. He was so lost in thoughts he totally forgot the time and that she was coming to pick him up and not the other way round.
He quickly putted his boxers on and ran towards the door but not before slipping out on his wet floor and going down. "Auw" Faith could hear him cursing through the wall. A smile appeared on her face.
"Hey" he said while he opened the door and looked at his leg that was bleeding a little.
"Are you okay? Cuz I heard this loud bang" She said half laughing, bending her head at the same height as Bosco..
"I'm fine I just slipped over this…" he was holding his leg with his one hand and with the other he tried to keep him self in balance by supporting on Faith's arm. He looked at Faith. She noticed his eyebrows widened and he stopped talking.
She wore her black cocktail dress, her hair was straight and rested on her shoulders. He was speechless, no that was an understatement he was stunned by her beauty. Faith was surprised with his reaction and couldn't help but to laugh when she noticed he was still in his boxers.
"So are you gonna let me in or do I have to wait outside till you get some pants on or is that just the way you're welcoming me from now on?"
He looked down at his bowers and said "Shit, stupid" he stepped aside to let her in. He kept babbling to himself as he left for a pants.
"Oh come on Boz, it's not like I haven't seen you like that before. " She kept pestering him. "Hey, let me take a look at your leg because we don't want bloodstains all over your pants. Believe me it's a bitch to clean that."
Embarrassed he came back with a pants in his one hand and in the other his tie. He was already wearing his shirt.
Carefully she lifted his leg up and laid it on her lap. He shivered with every touch. How could he possibly ever leave her but then he remembers his neurologists words and it all comes back to him.
While Faith was taking care of his leg, he was struggling with his tie.
"We're gonna need to get going or we're gonna be late and that on your own party." She said putting his leg back on the ground
"hmm" he said with red cheeks "I'm gonna need help with my tie ." Faith shook her head and said "men." to herself.
Finally Faith got Bosco ready and they left for the elevator. Faith did notice he was a bit tensed but she didn't want to bother him right now with her 'are you okay' questions but it was stronger than herself. "Boz , you okay?" He nodded he was fine. "Well actually there is something I would like to talk to you about but euhm it can wait till after the party."
"Okay". She smiled at him. She looked so happy, he thought. He could only give her a faint smile back because he knows he's going to hurt her at the end of the evening.
