Revelations

Chapter 13


"You aren't listening to me. I'm in love with you, Faith."

Faith was shocked by what Bosco had just told her a few seconds ago. He didn't love her, he already told her he didn't. Why was he doing this to her?

Bosco looked at Faith and could tell by the expression on her face that she didn't believe what he said. "Faith, I do love you."

"Why are you doing this to me, Bosco? You told me that you don't love me. Don't tell me that you love me now because you think that is what I need to hear," she responded, as she started to walk away from Bosco. He grabbed her arm. "It's not because I think you need to hear. It's the truth. I love you!"

Faith turned around. "You told me that you didn't love me a few days ago and now you are telling me that you lied to me. I don't believe you! Why would you do that?" Faith asked.

"I was scared," Bosco replied, as he walked up to her. "Why, Bosco?" He grabbed a hold of her hand. "When you told me that you loved me, I was in shock, that you felt the same way about me that I feel about you. But I couldn't tell you that I love you because I didn't want to hurt you."

She looked up at him with this love in her eyes. "Hurt me? You would never do that."

"Faith, the longest I have been in a relationship is a few months. I always end up hurting that woman. I don't want to do that to you. I never want to hurt you."

She grabbed his hand, and walked him over to the couch. "I'm scared too, Bosco. I just got out of relationship with a guy that I have been for nearly most of my life. I don't know if I want to date again, if I want to experience everything that came with it. What I do know is that I want to take the chance with you, and that is why I told you that I loved you. Why didn't you just tell me that you loved me? We would have work thorough it, like we always do. It's not just the commitment issues
though, is it?"

He nodded.

"I already told you that these scars don't mean anything to me. You are the same person, Bosco. How many times do I have to tell you?" She pulled his shirt to reveal his scars. "These scars show what an amazing person you are. You took those bullets for me. I'll never forget that. You didn't have to do that, but you did," she said, as she touched his scars.

"I did it because I love you Faith," he said as a smile crept through his face. She looked up at him. "You really love me? Tell me that you aren't lying to me this time."

"What do I have to do to show you that I love you, Faith," he said, as he leaned over and kissed her. She looked at him. "I don't know. I think you need to kiss me again," she said with a grin on her face. She put her hands on his back as he was kissing her. "I love you, "he whispered.

She touched his scar. "I love you too. " She then realizes that he didn't jump this time when she touched his scar.

"You didn't jump when I touched your scar."

"Because I trust you," he said, as he put his arms around her. She led him to the couch and they sat down. "Can I ask you a question, Bosco?" Faith asked softly. Bosco nodded.

"When did you realize that you loved me?"

He took a hand of her hand, and held onto it tightly. "I think I have loved you for a very long time, but I don't think I really realized how much I loved you until you got shot. I knew I could lose you," he explained.

She looked at him. "I felt the same way when you got shot."

"I don't think I realized exactly how much I loved you then, but I was scared that I was going to lose you." Bosco put his arms around her. "But we didn't lose each other."

"No, we didn't. " Faith looked at Bosco.

"Last night, I really need someone to talk, I'm so glad that you were there for me to talk to. I didn't even know if you wanted to see me." Faith spoke softly.

He put his arms around her. "Of course I would be here for you." She looked at him. "I was afraid I lost you after you told me that you didn't love me. " He grabbed her hand. "I'm so sorry about that."

"Its fine, Bosco. It's over now. "But don't you lie to me ever again!"

He smiled. "I promise you."

"So when do you go back to work?" he asked her. She looked at him with this scared look on her face. He grabbed a hold of her hand and held onto it tightly. "What's wrong, Faith?"

"Bos, what if what happened yesterday happens to me again. I almost got shot because I was spaced out."

"Faith, everything is going to be okay. You have been under a lot of stress lately, but I think you are going to be just fine." She grabbed his hand and held onto it. "I can't do this anymore. I can't be a detective."

He stroked her hair. "Faith, you are a great detective."

"How can I be a good one, when the only reason that I got the job was because I killed Mann." Faith explained.

"Faith, that wasn't the only reason, and you know it. You told me that the main reason was because you found that child's family." Bosco replied, as he held onto her hand. "You are a damn good cop and don't you ever doubt that!"

Bosco stood up. "I'm going to go and make you some breakfast, why don't you go and have a shower. You can borrow some of my clothes," he said, as he walked over to the kitchen.

"Bos, you don't have to make me breakfast."

"You are my guest, Faith." She looked at him with this smile on her face.

"And yes Faith, I do know how to cook." She looked at him as she was walked towards the bathroom. If I knew how much of a gentleman he was, I would have told him how I felt sooner, she thought to herself, as she walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

A while later:

Bosco was putting the food on the plates when he turned around and saw Faith standing in front of him. "I never know you could look so great in my clothes."

"I'm sure you say that to every woman that you have dated." she said, grinning, as she sat down next to him. He smiled at her. "You are the one woman that I want now."

"Why aren't you wearing your sling?" Bosco asked, as he put the plate down on the table.

"Well I couldn't really have a shower with a sling, so I took it off, and my arm was fine, so I didn't put it back on," Faith explained as she sat down.

"Faith, are you sure that is wise? What if your arm isn't okay?" he asked, worried about her. She laughed. "Bos, it's fine, the doctor said that I only had to wear it for a few days. I'm just taking it off earlier than he thought. My arm is fine."

he was eating her food when she looked at him. "I guess Emily was right after all," she said, not realizing that she said it outloud. Bosco looked at her with a confused look on his face.

"What?"

" When you told me that you didn't love me, I went home and I was pretty upset, and Emily was there, and she told me that maybe you were just scared and that you did love me." Faith explained.

"Your daughter is pretty smart." Bosco responded.

"Yes she is, and she seems pretty okay with me being in love with you. She actually told me to fight for you."

"I knew that I liked Emily." Bosco replied. "Excuse me; you were the one that told me that you didn't love me, why should I have fight for you?"

"Because you know what an idiot I can be," he said. She had this grin on her face. "There are a few other words that I could use to describe you." she said, as she playfully hit him.

"My mom is going to be so pleased that we got together. She says that she wants grandchildren."

"I think you are getting a little ahead of yourself. Bosco, we are no way near having babies."

Bosco smiled. "I know that Faith. I told Ma how I felt about you. She made me realize that was hurting you and you deserve to know how I felt."

"That is what you were trying to tell me yesterday in the hospital wasn't it?"

Bosco nodded. "I tried to,"

"I thought you were going to tell me the reasons that you couldn't be with me, I didn't want to hear that. " Faith responded. Faith put her arms around Bosco. "I should have let you talk,"

"It doesn't matter," Bosco responded. "We are okay now."

Suddenly her cell phone rang. She stood up and picked it up the phone. "Hello?"

A few minutes later. "Okay, I will do that. Talk to you later, bye," she replied and hanged up the phone. Faith and Bosco walked towards the couch and sat down. She looked at Bosco "That was Swertsky he told me that I have to go and see a therapist before I can go back to work next week, because I am spaced out and he doesn't want that to happen again."

"Maybe that is a good idea, Faith."

Faith glanced over at Bosco. "I thought you hated therapists."

"I do, Faith, but that's me. You are different. You have been through a lot these past few months, maybe this will help you. I don't want to get hurt at work, especially since I won't be there to watch your back."

"Maybe you are right," Faith replied. "So when do you get to go back to work?"

"I have to go and see my physical therapist next week and she will tell me if I am able to go back to work."

Faith put her arms around Bosco. "You will be back at work, I know it." He smiled. "I know I will. Being a cop is what I am."

She leaned over and kissed him. "There is more to you than you just being a cop."

He smiled at her. "I know, Faith." She looked at him. " But I do understand why you feel that way because I felt that way when I was trying to walk again. I wanted to be a cop again, as I knew that was where I suppose to be." He started to kiss her again, when her cell phone rang.

"Does that thing ever stop ringing?" Bosco replied, laughing. "I'll just be a few seconds," she said, smiling at him, as she stood up.

"Hello?" she said.

A few seconds later, "Yes, I'm doing better today. " She then looked at Bosco. "I'm more than fine. "

"No, I don't need to talk but thanks for the offer," Faith responded. "I'll see you at work, goodbye," she said as she hanged up the phone.

Bosco walked up to her. "Who was that?"

"That was John, he was wondering if I was okay, and if I wanted to go for dinner with him." Faith explained.

"Who's John?" he asked. "Why was he asking you out?"

Faith laughed at the thought of Bosco being jealous of John Miller. "You can't tell me you are jealous of Miller. He was just worried about me because of what happened yesterday. But you have never to worry about Bosco, I love you," she said, as she hugged and kissed him.

Later that day:

Faith was lying next to Bosco with him in her arms. She thought that she lost everything in her life, but she mostly thought that she lost the important man in her life.. Bosco. But now here he is lying next to her, stroking her hair, and kissing her, and she couldn't be any happier.
