Chapter 13

(Thanks for all your great reviews I love reading them! Keep them coming please!)

"What the hell!" Bosco yelled as he woke up to a little kitten sitting on his chest bating at his head like it was a toy. "Cruz get your cat off my face face. I'm not a toy he said to the small cat a he kicked her off him."

"Oh. Did that mean grumpy guy hurt you?" Cruz said as she picked up the kitten. "You know I've been thinking of changing her name she's not a Lily after all.

"Yeah I know! You should change it to pain in the ass!" Bosco sighed as he hid under the covers. "I know what I'm going to name her. Her name is going to be Valencia. It means strong in Spanish." Cruz picked up Valencia and put beside a curled up Bosco. Within minutes Valencia had crawled up to Bosco's face and had started to purr and curl up right beside his face. "Ritza take you kitten! I don't want her in my face." Said a half asleep Bosco. "It's not like she's hurting anybody. She likes you." Cruz said laughing.

"I still think you should name her pain in the ass. I beginning to regret the day I gave you that thing. He pulled the covers over his head hoping she would just go away.

"Come Bosco it's time to get you lazy ass up! We have to go to work and if you don't get up I'll put Valencia on your face this time." Cruz said with a wicked smile. Then she leaned over and kissed him. Bosco pulled her close and deepened the kiss. Never wanting to let her go. He loved the way her lips tasted and the way she felt when he pulled her closer to him. When they finally parted Bosco gave in, "OK, ok but since when do we go to work? Bosco asked.

"Since I called the caption and got him to let me work again."

" He's going to change his mind when I'm done talking to him!"

"No Bosco, Cruz said firmly. I have to do this please and I will with or without your support!" He knew she was right since when did Maritza listen to anyone but herself.

"There's not much point in me resisting since you'll do it anyway he said leaning over beginning to tickle her." "Bosco stop we have to get ready for work," Cruz said in between giggles.

Bosco sighed, "You're no fun!" Then got ready to go to work.

When they got to the house Cruz went in first then Bosco came in after a couple of minutes. As usual Bosco had to rush around to make it to roll call on time. He finally did make it to roll call with everything but one shoe on. He was partnered with Monroe as usual. Tye with Finney, and Sully with a new guy. Bosco and Monroe were just about to leave when Faith came in the room. "Bosco can I talk to you for a minute?" Bosco just nodded and followed her into an empty room a very stern look on his face.

"You know Bosco that I never meant for Cruz to fall down those stairs. I just couldn't believe that you and her were together. After all she did to you and me!" Bosco tried to interrupt her but Faith just said, "Bosco just let me get this out then you can talk. I guess I felt betrayed. I mean she shot me. But I'm not in charge of you and we're not partners anymore and If you want to go get mixed up with Cruz again that's your choice but I won't be there to bail you out or comfort you when she uses you again or tosses you aside as soon as something better comes along. I'm done cleaning up your mess." Faith face was serious.

"She's not the same anymore Faith. It's not the same and I lover her can't you respect that as my best friend?"

"Yeah right!" Faith snorted. "People like her don't change and I'll never be able to see what you see in her or respect your relationship with her. All your relationship is, is sex"

"That's not true it's not about that at all. She did change and you know what she's not the only one. Ever since you made deceive you're sure as hell not the same Faith Yokas you used to be. The Faith Yokas I used to know would never not believe me and she sure as hell would never tell me that are friendship is over, because of my girlfriend!"

"So she's your girlfriend now Bosco are you stupid?"

Bosco just walked out the door. "Let go Monroe I'm done here." Bosco looked back at Faith and thought to himself I'm done here forever.
