Revelations
Chapter 15
Bosco looked at Faith in shock. "What are you doing here? Where's my partner?"
"I'm your partner. You idiot!" Faith responded, as she got out of the car. He looked at her." My partner? What are you talking about?" he asked with a confused look on his face.
She smiled. "You know sometimes you aren't that smart, Bos. I'm not a detective anymore. I'm a beat cop again."
"I know why you are doing this. I'm not going to let you." Bosco replied.
"You are not going to let me... is that what you just said? You can't tell me what to do, Bosco, just because we are together." Faith replied, looking at him with this annoyed look on her face. "I don't have to be your partner. I can be partnered with someone else. I just thought that..."
He grabbed a hold of her hand. "I know that you are doing this because you are worried about me being back at the force, but I don't need you to look after me, Faith. I'm a big boy."
Faith glanced at Bosco. "This has nothing to do with you, not everything I do is because of you."
"So you are telling me that you just woke up this morning, and decided that you wanted to be a beat cop again, that it had nothing to do with me being back at work."
Faith had this smile on her face. "I've been working on patrol for the last few weeks." She looked at Bosco, and could tell by his face that he was shocked. "Yes, Bos, this had nothing to do with you."
"So when did you decide this then?"
"The day that I went to the therapist. I realized that I didn't want to be a detective anymore, it just wasn't me, Bosco, especially not the way that I got the job. So I talked to Swersky and told him that I wanted to be demoted to patrol cop. Let's just say he was very surprised that I wanted be a beat cop again. I guess not many people do that."
"But I don't understand, Faith, you were good at being a detective." Bosco replied. She smiled. "Yes I was, but it wasn't me. If I ever become a detective I want it to be because I earned it, not because I murdered someone."
"Faith, you know that wasn't the only reason."
Faith nodded. "I know, but I just didn't feel right working as a detective. I missed being in 55 David with you."
"Oh, so I was part of the reason," he said with a grin. She playfully hit him. "Of course you were. 55 David is not the same without you."
"But how can we be partners, Faith?" Bosco questioned. "We are together."
" I talked to Swersky about that. At first he didn't want to put us together, but he said as long as we are professional at work, we can stay partners. He knows that we are better together than apart."
Bosco smiled. "So you mean I can't kiss you at work?" he replied, as he leaned over and started to kiss her. "No, you can't do that, if you want us to stay partners. Unless you don't want us to be partners again. I didn't even ask you if you would want that." Faith answered.
"Of course I want to be partners with you on and off of the job." he said, with a laugh. She smiled. She doesn't know how she is going to be able to be in a car with him now, that they were together. She wanted to kiss him right now, but she knew that she couldn't.
He looked at her. "Of course I want to be partners with you, you don't even need to ask? But I'm not sure how I am going to be able to not kiss you during the shift?" She smiled at him.
"Just pretend that nothing has change between us, Bos, that we are just partners at work."
"I'm sorry, Faith, but there is no way I can pretend that I'm not in love with you."
"Well if you want us to stay partners, you will have to, because Swersky said that he was going to keep an eye on us." Bosco moved closer to Faith, and leaned over and kissed her quickly. "Bos… why did you do that?"
"Well if I'm not able to kiss you during the shift, I want to remember what it is like to kiss you, so I can survive this shift."
"55 David, there is a domestic disturbance at 55th Street."
"55 David, responding." Faith announced in her radio. It felt so good for her to say 55 David again. She turned and looked at Bosco. "Come on, let's go, partner." she said, with a grin.
"Only if I get to drive."
Faith and Bosco showed up at the apartment, but it turned out that it was nothing, that the neighbor just didn't like the people above him playing their music loud. "Next time, you don't like your neighbor playing their music loud; please talk to them before you call the police." Faith told the person as they left the apartment.
"It's great to be back. I miss these calls, more than I thought I would." Bosco responded.
"I miss them too, Bos." Bosco looked at Faith. "I know I was shocked you were my partner, but I'm glad that you are, because you are my only partner."
Later that shift, Bosco and Faith showed up at the diner for their dinner break, and Holly and Carlos were there.
Holly looked at Faith. "Everything worked out for you, didn't it? I can feel it." Levine responded as she moved closer to her. "You and Bosco are together…."
"Let's get something to eat," Faith said as she and Bosco sat down. Holly sat down next to Faith. "I can sense the happiness between the two of you."
Faith was eating her dinner. When Holly looked at Faith. "You have loved him for a very long time."
Faith was starting to get really annoyed. "Yes I'm in love with Bosco, and we are together. Are you happy now?"
Faith then stood up. "It's time to go," she ordered Bosco. "But I have not
finished my dinner." he responded. She grabbed his arm. "Let's
go."
"But..." he protested. " I want to finish my fries."
"Go." she replied, as they left the diner. Carlos waited until they were gone before he walked up to Holly. "So did she admit to you that she loves him?"
" Yep."
"Why did you do that, Faith?" Bosco yelled, as they got back in the squad car. "I wasn't finished with my lunch"
"I don't care about your lunch. Levine was asking me too many questions. She found out that we are together."
"Why does that matter to you, Faith?" Bosco asked, as they started to drive away from the diner. "Don't you want anybody to know we are in a couple, or are we in a secret relationship and nobody told me? I love you, but I can't be a relationship that nobody knows about, that's not me."
"But, Bos, Swersky didn't want us to do anything at work." Faith responded.
"I know that, Faith, but he never said that nobody could know about our relationship did he?" Bosco asked. She looked at him. "I just..."
"Just forgot about it, Faith."
Later that shift:
Faith looked at Bosco. "Are you going to talk to me? Or you going to be mad at me for the rest of the night?"
Bosco didn't say anything to her. He just stopped the car at the station, and got out of the car.
"Bosco.. don't do this." she said, as she ran after him, into the locker room.
"Bos… we have to talk about this. You can't just stop talking to me, you have to talk to me sometime." Faith yelled.
Bosco turned around. "Maybe this was the wrong thing to do. We should have never gotten together."
"Bos, I love you, I told you that." Faith shouted, as she walked up to him.
"I know that you love me, but you won't tell anybody that we are together. I might not be a very sensitive person, Faith, but that hurts my feelings. You tell me one thing, but you won't tell anybody about us. What do you think I would think?"
Faith moved closer to Bosco. "I'm sorry about today, I want to be with you. It's just that everything in my life is going great now. I see Emily even more now that I did before and I have you in my life now. But I just didn't want anybody to know about us because I'm scared that it is all going to go away, and I'm going to be left with nothing again. Do you know how that was for me? she replied, as she leaned over and kissed him.
"Faith, what did you do that for?" he asked. She looked at him. "I am scared, but I don't want to lose you, I want to be with you."
"Are the two of you finished making out now?" Ty asked, as he walked up to them. They turned around and started to blush. "How long have you been here?" Bosco asked.
"Since Faith walked in the locker room"
"Why didn't you leave?" Bosco asked.
"And miss out on the Bosco and Faith show, I don't think so, this is better than HBO." Ty responded. "So how long have this been going on?"
Faith looked at Bosco with this smile on her face. "For a while now."
Ty nodded. "Well it doesn't surprise me."
"Don't tell me that you knew that we had feelings for each other." Bosco replied.
"No, Carlos told me this afternoon." Ty replied. "So you weren't together before Bosco got shot were you?"
"No, Ty. I was still married then. What type of woman do you think I am? I wouldn't cheat on my husband."
"Let Fred do that." Bosco replied. Ty looked at Bosco and Faith. "Are the two of you coming to Haggertys tonight?"
"We'll see," Bosco answered. Ty waved goodbye to them, and left the locker room.
"You do know that everyone will know about us now, don't you?" Bosco responded. She looked at him. "I don't care, Bos, not anymore." She put her arms around him. "I love you, Bos. I don't care if everybody knows about us."
"Does that mean I get to kiss you at work?"
"No!"
"I just have to change and then we can go to Haggertys?" Faith responded, as she walked into the apartment. "You know we don't have to go. We can stay here."
She smiled at him. "You know everybody is going to Haggertys for you. It's your party."
Bosco nodded. "Yes I know, but I don't have to go do I? I'd rather stay here with you."
"I want that also, but we can go for an hour or so, and then come back to my place," Faith replied, she then suddenly stopped. Bosco walked up to her. "Are you okay?"
She turned around. "It's the divorce papers, me and Fred are finally over." She looked at Bosco. "I don't love Fred anymore, you know that, but it is so unbelievable that my marriage is over. All those years I've spent with him. It's all gone."
"I know, Faith. But he never deserved you." Bosco said.
She looked at him. "You know when he first asked for a divorce, I felt like it was my fault for being a cop, that he had an affair, but I think he would have done it no matter what. I'm so thankfull that I have you in my life, Bosco, not just as my partner at work, but as my boyfriend."
Bosco looked at Faith. "Boyfriend?"
"That is what you are, aren't you?" Faith questioned. He smiled. "When I dated a woman, and they said that I was their boyfriend, I ran as fast as I could, because that was way too much commitment for me, but with you it is different."
She put her arms around him. "Maybe that is because you are growing up and you want a commitment." she replied. "I'll just go and get ready."
He looked at her as she walked away. Faith was wrong. It isn't because I'm growing up, it is because she is the one, he thought to himself.
Haggertys:
Bosco and Faith walked into the bar. Everybody was there, Sully, Ty, Monroe, Swersky, Carlos and Levine and the other police officers. They looked as Bosco walked into the bar. "Welcome back to the force, Bosco."
Bosco smiled. "Thanks guys, but I couldn't have done any of this without Faith." he said, as he leaned over and kissed her. Faith looked at Bosco. "Not now."
"Faith, it's fine, you're not at work now." Swersky said with a laugh. Faith smiled. "Alrighty then," she said, as she kissed him again.
Later that night:
"Do you think you should be having another drink, Faith?" Bosco asked her. She looked at him. "I'm fine, I want to toast to Bosco coming back to the force. I knew you could do it, and here's to a new beginning for me. I'm not a married woman." she said, as she put her glass in the air.
"I've always like you." said a younger looking police officer. "Back off, she's not single." Bosco replied, as he got in front of the cop.
"Who are you?" he said. "I'm her boyfriend."
The police officer looked at Bosco. "You are Boscorelli, aren't you?" Bosco nodded. The police officer then walked away. "Sorry I didn't know."
"I guess he heard stories about you." Faith replied as she put her arms around Bosco. "You know I just realized that I went from one relationship to another. I have never have time to be single."
"Do you want to be single?" Bosco asked her. She looked at him, and leaned over and kissed him. "Every woman wishes they were me, so they can be with you." He smiled at her. Even though he knew that she had a few too many drinks, he knew that she meant it.
He then turned around and saw that Faith was gone. He then saw where she went, and he knew this wasn't going to end well.
Faith walked up to Fred and his girlfriend. "Hello ex-husband, because that is what you are to me. Did you tell your girlfriend that you can marry her now, and you can have everything that you want? Let's just hope she doesn't work, because if she does, you will hate it. And you will tell her that she put her work before you, and we wouldn't want that would we? Everything has to be perfect for you doesn't it? Well let me tell you, I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. I'm in the best relationship that I have ever been in. I'm with someone that cares everything about me, and that would do anything for me."
"At least I'm not dating scarface! Do you like being with someone that looks like a monster." Fred shouted.
"You didn't just say what I think you said." she shouted, as she hit him in the face. "He is a better man than you would ever be."
"Are you dating him out of pity because no one would date him because of how he looks now?" Fred shouted, Faith hit him again in the stomach. "Don't you talk about him like that?"
"Don't you hit my Freddy?" Fred's girlfriend replied shyly. Faith looked at the skinny woman in front of her. " "Don't you tell me what do; I've wanted to do this for a very long time." Faith yelled.
Meanwhile:
Bosco and the rest of the officers were watching the whole thing happen.
"Should we stop this?" one of the officers asked.
"Just let her deal with it, she needs to do this."
"Don't you ever talk about Bosco like that ever again?" Faith yelled.
"You always cared about him more than you ever cared about me." Fred replied.
"Just shut up, Fred. I'm nothing to you anymore. I'm just your ex-wife."
Fred looked at her. "I didn't want to leave you, but I had to."
Faith laughed. "Now how many times have I heard that, I'm the one that made you cheat on me."
"I told you Faith, I want someone to love me more than you ever would."
"Well so did I Fred. I found it." Faith yelled. He looked at her. "How could you ever want to be with someone like Bosco? He destroyed our family and our marriage."
"How many times do I have to tell you that, that was you?" Faith yelled. "Bosco has be nothing, but wonderful to me."
"If you like a guy that that looks damaged like that." Faith started to hit him again when she felt someone touch her shoulder. "It's not worth this anymore, Faith, remember that you see have to see him when you see your kids."
"Do you think there is anyway I am allowing you to see your kids after what you did to me just now. I should have you arrested for this?"
"Who is going to believe you, Fred? There are tons of police officers in here. Who are they going to believe a dedicated cop, or a bitter ex- husband." Bosco responded.
"Freddy.. I think that he is right, no one is going to believe you." Fred's girlfriend replied, as she gently touched his arm. "Come on, let's go."
Fred looked at Faith " Fine, you can see Emily."
"What about Charlie?"
Fred's girlfriend looked at Fred. "Maybe you should let Faith see her son. You saw the way that Charlie acted today. He is getting out of hand. He is a brat."
"Don't you call Charlie a brat?" Bosco replied.
"Like you care about Charlie, you are just the boyfriend." Fred's girlfriend responded, as she smiled at Fred. Bosco looked at Fred's girlfriend. "I don't know what Fred told you about me, but I've known Faith's kids for a very long time."
"You are that Bosco, the one that Fred told me about."
"Charlie is starting to act up. Did you see what you do to our kids? They are turning in brats, now if we have a more happy home life, this wouldn't have happened." Fred yelled. Bosco then hit Fred in the face. "Don't you talk about your kids like that, maybe if you didn't take them away from their mother, they wouldn't be acting up."
Fred looked at Bosco. "How does it feel waking up every morning like that?" Bosco pushed him in the nose, and then started to hit him again. Fred then hit Bosco in the face. Faith pulled Bosco away from Fred. "He's not worth it."
Bosco looked at Faith and smiled. "You are right." She hugged him, and then looked at Fred. "I hope you are happy with this woman, because I am very happy with Bosco."
Faith and Bosco went back to the table, where Sully and Ty were the only ones left. "Wow that was a great fight. Yokas against Yokas "Ty responded.
"It's Mitchell now." Faith responded. Ty nodded. "I should be going now."
Sully nodded. "I'll drive you. I think I'm the one that is sober."
"That is because you can't drink, Sully. No drinking for you tonight." Sully smiled "Come on, let's get you home."
"Bye." Faith replied. She looked at Bosco. "I think I should be going as well. " He looked at her. "Come on, I'll take you home."
"In your car?"
"We'll walk home." Bosco said, as he held onto her, as he didn't know how much she had to drink. He just hoped she doesn't throw up on him.
They walked into the apartment and she looked at him and saw how hurt he looked. "I'm sorry about Fred. Here I'll get you something to put on it so it doesn't swell up." she said, as she walked into the kitchen.
"Wait, Faith."
"Why did you hit Fred?" Bosco asked. She looked at him. "I'm just going to get you some peas out of the fridge that she helped the swollen, you don't think he broke anything, did he?"
"Forget about the stupid peas. Why are you changing the subject?" he said, as he grabbed the bag of peas, and threw it onto the counter.
"I hit Fred because of you. He said something about you that I didn't like. I wasn't going to let him talk about you like that. "
"You mean you hit him because of me." Bosco said with a slightly grin.
"It's not funny, Bosco. I know I shouldn't have done it, but it felt so good doing it, I guess all the alcohol in my system that made me do it." Bosco laughed. "I don't think it was the alcohol, I think it was just something you wanted to do for a very long time." Faith grabbed the peas, and handed them to Bosco. "These should help." Bosco and Faith walked over to the couch. "You know the funniest thing that happened tonight was when Fred's girlfriend called him Freddy."
Months later:
Faith was lying in bed when she turned to her side, and saw that Bosco wasn't there. "Bos." She yelled out, but he didn't answer her. She wondered where he was, she knew that he didn't have to work today, so he didn't have to back to his place to get ready, like he always does. She sighed, as she got out of her bed, and put her bathrobe on.
She then looked at her calendar and realized what day it was.
She knew exactly where he was.
