She woke up the next morning to gentle kiss, and a soft voice saying, "it's time get up now Kim."

Her eyes fluttered open, and she was glad that it was his face. She had not dreamed the day before, it was all real. She had not ended up back in Jimmy's arms, instead the face smiling back at her lovingly was Bobby. She stretched a little bit, and sighed a little, wanting so much to curl back under the covers with him, and stay there forever.

"Good morning," she whispered.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty," he said softly.

She smiled. "This is really nice, can't we just stay here together all day?"

"That would be nice, but we have lives to save today."

"I guess that would be a noble enough cause to drag my ass out of bed for."

He laughed. "You put it so poetically."

She grinned at him. "Whatever, you should know what kind of girl I am by now."

"Yeah, and that what I l- like about you." He could hardly believe he had almost slipped and said he loved her. He knew that it was too early for that word to be spoken aloud. "Would you mind if I jumped in the shower."

"Not at all," she replied, then he noticed a mischievous look in her eyes. "But only if I can join you."

"Of course, it's been a while since such a beautiful lady has wanted to share the shower."

She grinned, and they both went into the bathroom. She put on the water, and adjusted the temperature as her undressed. He got in first, and she soon disrobed and followed. He had been waiting for her, getting a leg up on her, and surprising her before she had the chance to wrap her arms around him. He took her in his arms, and pulled her under the warm cascades of water with him. She purred with delight at the warm water between their bodies. He kissed her lightly, and found the soap and began caressing her body. She was moaning with delight at every touch.

"So nice," she managed to say loud enough for him to hear.

"Yeah," he simply agreed.

"So have you ever had sex in the shower?"

"Yeah but I'm not adding to the count today."

She pulled away slightly. "Why are you teasing me like this?" She crossed her arms over her chest childishly.

"I'm not teasing you Kim," he assured her. "I just want us to wait a little more before we have sex. It's going to torture me more then you, but that is the way I want it. I want to show you that some men want more then just your body." The happy tears she could not help shed were lost in the water falling from the shower. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him lightly. "Bobby you're much too good for me," she said, the moving away from him, so he could not see her face.

He left the warmth of the water for a moment to take her in his arms from behind. "No, Kim," he whispered in her ear. "I am exactly the kind of man that you deserve."

She spun around in his arms, and kissed him hard. In her frenzy she had forgotten they were in the shower, and almost sent them tumbling to the shower floor. He pulled away for a moment, only to hold her a little closer. He then kissed her, this time lightly, tracing a line up and down her spin with the hand around her back. The other was gently caressing her wet her.
All to soon they were clean, and the water had run cold. They were forced to leave the comfort of each other, and the soothing water. They both got out, and lazily got dressed for the day. They made breakfast together, and ate in relative silence. Bobby had just put away his dishes, which she was still drinking the last few sips of her coffee.

"I should go," he told her.

"We have a few hours before we start work," she stated.

"I know, but if I show up in the same clothes as I was wearing yesterday people will know something is up. I'd rather not arouse suspicion."

"You're right."

He walked over to the table, and kissed her lightly. He then left her alone in the apartment with her thoughts. She decided that she now had a reason to finally tell Jimmy that she wanted only to have him in her life for Joey. She was going to tell him that day, at work if she had to. But it had to end with him so she could see what feeling might be growing between her and Bobby.
