"Eggs?" She asked with a very confused look on her face.

"We…umm…" He tried to talk but he had made the mistake of looking in her eyes again. She blinked and the trance was ended. "Oh I mean…we never put the eggs away…they need to go in the refrigerator." He said and rolled off of her.

"Oh right."

They both got up and headed into the kitchen.

'Ok so what dose this mean…I just practically made out with me boss I mean…the guy's my employer…not to mention one HECK OF A KISSER! … I just wonder what kind of a crap storm I'm bringing down on my self for this.'

'Oh great Monk…you finally get a GOOD assistant and after that whole…thingy…in there you probably scared her off for good, I mean……………..……what was I saying?' Monk had once again stared into her magnificent eyes and was immediately captivated.

Natalie looked up from the bag of groceries and noticed that her boss was starring at her.

"Ahemm." She cleared her throat trying to snap him out of it.

It worked.

"Oh umm…right. Sorry…I was…er..looking at…"

"Me?" she asked

"NO…well..umm…what I mean to say is…well…yes." He said as he turned away sheepishly. As he turned his head to face the counter he saw a can. He lightly cocked his head to the side and flinched by bringing his right shoulder up to meet his ear and back down at his perfectly square level. 'It's dented' He thought to himself and grabbed the can to examine it further.

"Dose this happen often?" Natalie asked.

"Yeah. You'd be surprised how many dented cans I get." Monk said dropping the can into the trash.

"What?"

"Hmm?"

"What are you talking about?" She asked confusedly.

"I was talking about the can."

"Well I didn't ask about the can!"

"Yes you did. you asked if that happened a lot!"

"I wasn't talking about that!"

"Well then what were you talking about?" He asked in a shout.

"YOU! I was asking about you!"

Monk's face looked even more confused. Natalie continued, "I was asking if you…you know…kissed often." She finished in a softer tone.

Monk was silent at the question for a moment. "Oh…well…not exactly."

Natalie giggled… "Not exactly?" she repeated.

"Well…umm…kinda."

"Kinda?" She repeated again.

"Ok seldom…"

She just looked at him.

"Rarely? ……Oh alright! None at ALL!"

She smiled and patted him on the shoulder "Oh I see…So I did you some good."

"Oh that's not in dispute." He said with a smile.

"So you liked it then."

Once again Monk turned away sheepishly. Natalie just smiled and the two of them continued to put away the groceries.

Once they were done the two of them sat on the couch. Well actually Monk sat…Natalie lounged.

"So what does this mean…I mean…are we like…together now or what?" Natalie asked.

"Umm…would you have a problem with that?" Monk asked as he turned to look at her.

"I wouldn't…the question is would you?"

"No…No the question is not if I would have a problem with it…its…would SHE have a problem with it." Monk said looking over at a picture of his late wife.

Natalie nodded "Well you take all the time you need to decide." She said and placed a small kiss on his cheek, "Well I gotta go Mr. Monk…Julies waiting for me."

She got up and headed for the door.

"Natalie."

She stopped and turned around.

"You can call me Adrian."

She smiled and nodded, then left the apartment.

Monk got up and walked over to the picture. He picked it up and looked at it… "Would you have a problem with it?"
