"Hey Bobby! Wait up!" Kim called as she ran after her partner.

He sighed and turned around. "What's up Kim?"

"We gotta talk. Can I get a ride home?"

He reluctantly nodded. "Sure. C'mon."

Kim smiled as he turned and started for his car again. She looked across the street and saw Bosco. A smiled crossed her face. He'd be waiting for her when she got home. It was a nice thought. He drove away and she followed Bobby to his car and got in.

They drove for about a block in silence before Kim spoke. "You tried to kiss me."

"I know that. I was there." Bobby replied.

"And I stopped you."

"Again, I was there."

"Yeah but I didn't stop you for the reason you probably think."

"Really?"

"You think I stopped you because I'm still hung up on Jimmy. Am I warm?"

Bobby didn't say anything.

"Yeah I thought so. Bobby, I'm not."

"You're not?"

"No."

"Then why?"

"Look, if circumstances were different, then yeah I'd be all for giving it a shot with you but things aren't different."

"Circumstances? What circumstances?"

"I'm seeing someone." Kim admitted.

"What?"

"Yeah. For a while now."

"How long of a while?"

"August."

"August?!?! Kim it's November."

"Yeah I know."

"So why am I just finding out about this?"

"Look, it didn't start out to be a secret but as time went on and nobody knew I just decided to keep on keeping it quiet."

"Do I know him?"

"Yeah you know him. You don't know him well, but you know him."

"And it's not Jimmy?"

"No, it is not Jimmy."

"So, who is it?"

"Why do you wanna know?"

"Why don't you wanna tell me?"

"Because you have three sisters."

"What's that got to do anything?"

"I've found that guys with sisters tend to talk more then guys who don't have sisters."

"That's not true."

"Oh really? I told you I was getting a divorce on a day when Jimmy didn't have work and the next thing I knew guys from the first watch were asking me out." She gave him a look.

"Slip of the tongue."

"Exactly."

"C'mon, what is this? I'm your best friend. I think you can tell me."

"Okay, but if this gets out, I'm going to know exactly who told and then I'm gonna have to kill you and I really don't want to do that so if you have to tell someone, tell your priest."

Bobby grinned. "Okay."

"It's Bosco."

Bobby pulled the car over.

"Whoa! Bobby!"

"Did you just say-"

Kim sighed and nodded. "It's Bosco."

"The cop? The guy who leers at every female that crosses his path who is even remotely attractive?"

"He doesn't leer anymore." Kim pointed out.

"Don't change the subject. You're going out with him?"

"Yeah."

"Does Jimmy know?"

"Have you heard an explosion since August?"

"Does Joey know?"

"No. Neither does my mom. I'm only telling you because of what happened today. And you know I should be slightly pissed at you."

"Why?"

"Cause when I get home tonight I have to tell Bosco he was right and you do have a thing for me."

"What?"

"I was complaining about my day last week and when I was done he said something about me not knowing that you had it bad for me. I said he was wrong and now I have to tell him he was right."

"How did he know?"

"He says it's because he's a guy and as such he knows when a guy likes a girl."

"You and Bosco." Bobby shook his head as he pulled back out into traffic.

"Yeah, me and Bosco. Why is that so difficult to believe?"

"You can sit and ask that?"

"Yes. He's a good guy Bobby. He's got a good heart. He just doesn't show it to everybody."

"Talk about having it bad." Bobby muttered.

"I heard that."

"So when are you gonna tell Jimmy?"

"I don't know. It's not a conversation I'm looking forward to having."

"Why? Just cause he and Bos don't get along?"

"That's a bit of an understatement, isn't it?" Kim stared.

"Yeah." Bobby looked over at her. "Is it serious?"

"Not very. When it does get serious, or maybe even before, I'll tell Jimmy."

"Just warn me. I wanna get out of the city."

"Yeah. Me too."
