The song is Bryan Adams – Heaven. Couldn't resist putting it in as I've just seen him in concert and he was amazing! And in case he's reading this I don't own the song either so he doesn't have to sue. But he is free to call me any time!

As they entered the club together and began to see people they knew they couldn't help but notice everyone giving them "the look".

It was clear that Jack and or Baker had obviously saved them the trouble of telling everyone.

"Hey over here you guys!" Jack shouted, motioning to them through the throng of people.

Michelle went first and Tony laid his hand on the small of her back. Jack had a huge grin on his face as he shook Tony's hand. Pulling him closer he whispered,

"So I guess there was a lot of traffic huh? Being that it is now 8.45 and I told you we'd be meeting for 8."

Tony simply shrugged and sat down, stretching his arm around Michelle.

"No, there was no traffic."

Baker grinned at them both and disappeared to order them some drinks, Tony squeezed Michelle's hand and smiled at her. They had decided that tonight was as good a time as any to 'come out' as a couple. Michelle had been nervous about it in the taxi on the way there but Tony calmed her by telling her that it didn't matter what anyone else thought or said. It was only them that mattered.

The night was rowdy and loud as everyone blew off the steam they'd been holding in for days. Every so often they'd all remember who wasn't there but they got through it by telling funny stories.

"Hey Tony." Jack was swaying slightly as he tried to focus on his friend. "Who ordered the party pooper?"

Tony frowned and turned around to see Chappelle coming down the stairs. He felt Michelle stiffen under his arm but he kissed her bare shoulder and smiled reassuringly at her. He didn't care. He knew that he'd walk away from this job in a minute if that's what it took to be with her.

"Bauer." Chappelle said, eyeing Jack carefully. To Tony it was a similar look that his dad used to give him and his brothers when he suspected they were drunk. He was clearly not used to seeing everyone in a social setting and he was incredibly uncomfortable.

Knowing the mood Jack was in, Tony and Michelle were afraid of what he might say to Ryan.

"Aw, Ryan old buddy, sit down and have a beer. We'll shake the square out of ya!"

They looked at each other and winced. Chappelle simply sat down beside Jack awkwardly as he slapped his back roughly.

"Why don't I buy you a drink? How about you come with me to the bar and tell me what you'd like?" Michelle said standing up, motioning to Chappelle.

He understood immediately and with a grateful look on his face he followed her to the bar as Tony moved around to sit beside Jack.

She ordered him a drink and they stood in an awkward silence not knowing what to say to each other.

"So I see you have struck up with Almeida." He said out of the blue.

Michelle felt the back of her neck begin to heat up.

"Well sir, Tony and I have been through a lot together and things pretty much just happened. I want you to know that it hasn't affected our work and we don't intend to let it."

"Well I want to tell you that although I can't stop you I think you're making a big mistake. You'll have a few rolls in the sack and then he'll move on, leaving your career and reputation in tatters. Have you really thought this through Michelle?"

She stood there stunned, unsure of how to respond to that. She glanced at Tony who could see something was happening that she didn't like.

She looked Chappelle straight in the face and said,

"Mr Chappelle, I wouldn't expect you to understand the feelings that Tony and I have for each other because quite frankly, I don't fully understand them yet either. But I do know that this is definitely not just a few rolls as you so crudely put it. We are completely in love and have been for some time as it turns out. You mentioned just now that you can't stop us. I think you should keep that in mind because no matter what it takes, after what we've just been through we are not going to sacrifice what we feel for our jobs and it is that simple. Enjoy your drink sir."

She walked away from the bar shaking slightly but completely proud of herself. It wasn't in her nature to talk that way to a superior but being with Tony had given her strength she never knew she had. The lights dimmed slightly and some slow music began to play. She sat back down as Tony laid Jack out along the seat of the booth they were in. He was mumbling incoherently.

"You know Tony; you're like my best friend. I really love you man. And I think that you and Michelle are just….wow. Totally hot stuff!"

Tony chuckled as Jack shut his eyes. Sitting back down beside Michelle he slid his arm around her and pulled her in close to him.

"What were you talking to Chappelle about?" He said with concern.

She smiled and kissed him softly.

"Dance with me and I'll tell you."

He smiled and took her hand, leading her past Chappelle and onto the dance floor. She smiled as a familiar song began to play.

Taking her in his arms he held her close as she leaned on him.

Oh thinkin' about our younger years,

It was only you and me – we were young and wild and free

Now nothing can take you away from me

We've been down that road before – but that's over now

You keep me coming back for more.

Baby you're all that I want when you're lying here in my arms

I'm finding it hard to believe we're in heaven

She took a deep breath and told him everything that had been said between her and Chappelle.

"That guy is a Son of a Bitch. A few more beers and I'm taking him outside." He said sneering at him.

Michelle danced them around so he was facing the other way. Looking up at him seductively she whispered,

"No honey, a few more beers and you're taking me home, to bed."

He softened and held her tightly.

"On the other hand I'm so proud of you. Imagine that he thinks so little of me to believe I would just dump you like that. I can't believe how well you shut him down though; that's my girl!"

She laughed and smiled at him.

"Of course I shut him down. I can't have anybody talking shit about my boyfriend."

The end.

So that's it, nothing too heavy but I couldn't resist getting Jack drunk! He'd be the life and soul of the party! Please review!
