A/N: Thanks for the kind reviews. I really appreciate them. Like I said before, this is just a fun fic, nothing too serious. I've decided to make Lewis a kind of matchmaker. Enjoy and please let me know what you think.

Chapter two

The following morning found Alex, getting herself some coffee and contemplating her date with Lewis. It had been nice and Lewis had been nice. They'd laughed, ate at a nice restaurant and as the night ended, even shared a kiss. She knew Lewis liked her, that much was clear. As for her, Lewis was nice, but so far nothing more. The entire evening she'd tried to get Bobby out of her mind. The way he'd reacted to her date with Lewis still puzzled her. Sure, part of her wanted to believe he was jealous, that he didn't want to see her with anyone, but him. Her more rational side didn't find a reason for his behaviour. Sometimes her partner was such a mystery to her.

Bobby walked into the squad room and spotted Eames at her desk. Waking up that morning he'd decided to apologize for his behaviour. He'd been a jerk. Right after that decision he wondered how her date with Lewis had gone. Did she like him? Were they going out again? And the thing that really got to him was that maybe, maybe she could really like Lewis. What would she do then? Leave him, get married with Lewis and have kids? He calmed down, it was much to early for those questions. They'd only gone out once. He had a lunch appointment with Lewis this afternoon so he would find out. Beside he knew Alex. Alex could never be happy with someone like Lewis. She needed someone who could read her, someone who let her be, someone who respected her and her job…someone who could love her like she meant the world to him. Someone who could really love her. Somewhere in the back of his mind he knew he wanted to be that person. When it came to love though, Bobby wasn't a confident man. He was a difficult man for the person he had a relationship with, sometimes he would shut them out completely. Some people couldn't handle his quirks, his restlessness. He also had a hard time leaving the job at work, he always brought his work home. After his brake up with Erica a few weeks ago he'd decided he wasn't relationship material. He needed someone who could make him talk, someone who could speak up to him and would ground him when needed.

He took his seat opposite from his partner. In silence he observed her. She seemed relax, happy even. Her date with Lewis had apparently been successful. That could only mean there would be a second date. First things first, he thought, an apology. "Eames, I…I'm sorry for yesterday. I was a jerk. I was still bothered by the case…I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Bobby." She smiled at him.

Smiling back at her, he carefully asked her about her date. "Did you have fun last night?"

"It was nice. I had fun." She didn't feel like elaborating. She knew Bobby was going to lunch with Lewis today. Lewis had told her that. If he wanted to know more, he'd had to ask Lewis.

They both went back to work, sometimes asking the other a work related question. Bobby had agreed to meet Lewis at their regular diner for lunch. He was surprised to find Lewis walking up to them. His friend smiled as he saw Alex.

"Good afternoon, Alex." Lewis greeted her.

"Hi, Lewis." She smiled back at him before her eyes went to Bobby's. There was that irritated look in his eyes again.

"Let's go, Lewis." Bobby said, taking his coat, waiting for his friend to follow him.

"I'll see you tonight." Lewis winked at Alex.

In the diner, the two friends were waiting for their order. Bobby decided to just ask his friend about the date. "I guess things went well yesterday?"

Lewis smiled. "Yeah, it was great. Alex is great!"

Bobby shook his head, he knew how great Alex was.

"We had a great time. First we had something to drink. After that a nice dinner. She's fun to be with. She's charming, intelligent, beautiful… great body." Lewis kept his eyes on his friend the entire time. He wasn't blind. He knew Bobby had feelings for his partner. Maybe he thought he was able to hide it, but to Lewis it was obvious. Bobby had tensed up, his eyes dark. He decided to push him a bit, to have a little fun. After all, it wasn't often that he had something Bobby wanted to have. "And, she's a great kisser."

Bobby's head turned to Lewis, his eyes big. "What?" He was trying to comprehend Lewis words. "You two…" He said, pointing at Lewis.

"Yes." Lewis had a dreamy smile on his face. "I'm already looking forward to tonight. Maybe we could…you know." He raised his eyebrows, looking at Bobby he found two angry eyes looking back at him.

"Don't you even dare." Bobby didn't like Lewis' implication. Alex had to be treated with respect. The fact that his friend dared to speak of her like that was intolerable. Still angry with Lewis he looked at him when he heard his friend's laugh.

"Could you even be more obvious, Bobby?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do I have to spell it out? You know for a highly intelligent man, you're supposed to have figured this out already."

"Figure what out, Lewis?"

"You're jealous. Jealous that I'm dating Alex."

"You're wrong." Bobby mumbled.

"Am I? Look at you… the moment I told you I kissed Alex you got angry. And don't even get me started on your reaction to my suggestion. You're jealous. Just admit it." Not getting Bobby to react he continued. "If you'd told me I wouldn't have gone out with her. Why haven't you ever told her how you felt?"

Bobby shifted in his seat. He was uncomfortable discussing this with Lewis or anyone else for that matter. His feelings for Alex ran deeper than he was willing to admit. Admitting would make it all to real. It would make the chance or rejection so much bigger. "I…I can't. She's my partner. I don't want to loose her."

"Take a chance, Bobby. You'll be surprised with the outcome." Lewis told his friend.
