Bosco was looking out the window of the darkened apartment. He saw Kim and
Bobby talking. "I wonder what that's all about?" he thought to himself as
he watched Kim finally open the door and get out. She glanced up from the
street to the window that she knew he was at. She quickly looked back
down at Bobby, said something and then closed the door and walked to the
steps of the building. Bobby looked up momentarily and then drove off.
Bosco went back over to the couch, turned on the television and sat down to check out the score of the football game. He heard Kim put the key in the lock and open the door. She flipped on the light switch, dropped her stuff on the table by the door, and looked over at the television.
"Ugh, not football!" she whined.
He looked at her and gave her a smile. "It's Monday, Baby! Giants, Baby!" was all he said. Kim rolled her eyes, made a face, and walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of soda. "Want anything?" she asked him before she closed the door.
"I already grabbed a beer," he answered her as he watched the fumble. "Oh, man. Sehorn threw that right to him. He shoulda' had it!" he said, slapping his knee.
She opened the bottle and walked over to sit next to him on the couch. He raised his arm and let her settle against him. "Hey, you're cold!" he said, grabbing the throw off the back of the couch and putting it around her. "How was your night?" he asked, leaning over to give her a kiss.
"It was okay. Kinda slow. Which is good, because I'm exhausted from our trip. How about you? Were you real busy?" she asked him.
"Pretty much the same," he said, the grin coming back to his face as he thought of his conversation with Faith.
"What?" Kim said to him, noticing his grin.
"I think Faith knows I'm seeing 'someone'," Bosco said to her.
"Oh yeah? And what makes you say that?" she asked, taking a sip of her soda.
Bosco flinched at another bad play by his team and took a swig of his beer. "Because she said I was in a good mood all day today and that I was smiling all day," he told her, looking at her and watching the mischievous smile come across her face. "I didn't even flip out on stinky Arnie when he blew chow all over the back of the RMP," he said proudly.
"Did I do that to you, Officer?" she said, tracing a finger along his bottom lip.
"I don't know. Are you my 'playmate of the month'?" he asked her.
"What?!" she said, mock anger in her tone.
"That's what Faith asked me. Who my playmate of the month was," he explained. "Of course, I didn't mention any names," he added.
Kim paused for a moment. "Um, yeah. About that," Kim said to him cautiously.
"Yeah?" he said curiously.
"Um, Bobby knows about us," she blurted out, waiting for the explosion.
"What do you mean, 'Bobby knows about us'?" he asked, turning to face her. "I thought we were going to keep this a secret for awhile," he said.
"Well, Bobby guessed something was up. You see, something happened tonight and I, well, let's just say you were right," she stammered.
"What? What happened?" Bosco asked, a little worried.
"Relax, Bos," she said, putting a hand on his chest. "We were sitting outside after a call and we were talking," she started.
"Yeah. And?" he said.
"Well, he suddenly leaned over and tried to kiss me," she said, feeling him tense beside her. "I said he TRIED to kiss me," she reiterated.
"I told you," he said. "And what did you tell him?"
"Well, I told him that if things were different, then maybe I'd consider giving it a try with him, but that I was seeing someone. He assumed it was Jimmy. I corrected him," she finished, looking up at him. She saw him relax slightly.
"And he was okay with it?" he asked her.
"He was surprised by it," she said, chuckling. "He almost drove off the road. He said he wants to know before I tell Jimmy so that he can leave town before the explosion," she finished, laughing.
"Yeah, well tell him I want to ride out of town with him," Bosco said, starting to laugh, the football game all but forgotten. "So, what now?" he asked her, playing with her hair as it fell on his arm.
"I don't know, but you can tell Faith if you want. She'll keep it quiet, right?" she asked him, settling in next to him again.
"She will. Always," Bosco assured Kim.
"Well, then go ahead," she said, sitting up straighter to kiss him. He kissed her back and they settled back to watch the rest of the game. Well, at least Bosco did. He heard and felt Kim's breathing deepen and looked down to see her fast asleep against him. He pulled the blanket up around her and finished off his beer as he watched the Giants turn it around and pull out the win in overtime.
