Chapter 3

Just as the clock struck 8:30 pm at the LPD station Natalie was finishing up her last few files. As she picked up her purse she applied some pink lip gloss to her lips then she walked over to her Uncle Bo's office. To her dismay though she could still hear small whispers and pointless giggling coming from what she knew was her uncle and his girlfriend Paige Miller. 'Gee you would think she'd be gone by now guess not' she concluded. When she was half way into the hall John came up behind her.

"Hey working late? He began casually. She turned around and out of habit put her hand on her hair when she realized what she was doing she stiffened up and placed her hand back by her side. "Hi. Yeah I thought you were busy since the door was shut and you didn't want any interruptions. Uh listen I was just on my way out do you need anything else before I go?" As she said this she kept looking at the ground and avoided the eyes that could so easily see right through her soul.

"I just wanted to know if you wanted to shoot some pool I think I'm really rusty... but uh if you have plans we can go another time have fun with Michael tonight." The words were out before he knew it and left no time to backtrack let alone try and explain himself. He didn't even try because he already could tell by the fire that suddenly sparked in her eyes that the damage had been done.

When Natalie looked up from the ground instead of guilt and sadness she felt were all masked and replaced with raw anger.

"John I never told you I was going out with Michael tonight so…… she started to regain her confidence and walked around John forcing him to get everything she was preparing to throw at him.

When she started to cross her arms and circle him like a cop interrogating a suspect the look and structure he knew all too well. He tried walking away from her and attempted to dash to the safety of his office. When he was three feet away from him she grabbed his arm firmly and brought him back to where they were standing before.

"Don't you dare walk away from me John McBain!" she was restraining her voice because although it was late a lot of the officers were still here and she wanted to keep them as far away from her confrontation with John as possible.

"Okay no tell me lieutenant how did you find out about me going on a date with Michael tonight if I didn't tell you, which by the way is none of your business anyway."

"Well I would like an answer." She spoke firmly but clearly then he knew he had to tell her. "Okay I was getting some coffee out of the coffee maker and just happened to listen in on……

Before he could finish himself she wrapped it up for him. "You listened in on my private phone conversations. John I have never listened in on your phone conversations. Never once in our whole 2 years that I have known you". She was steamed that he would spy on her but part of her was doing front flips and back springs at the thought of John actually acting like he was jealous.

"I'm worried about you Natalie I mean you're still dealing with what Barber did to you…. She winced at the sound of her captor and torturer's name. And I'm concerned because you're my friend and I care about you and I'm just looking out for you." He finished lamely.

"Wait a minute…John are you jealous of me and your brother when she said that she loosened her grip on his arm and let go completely. With His true motive out it cut through him having her saying it out loud to him. As he struggled to put up a wall to keep her out but it failed miserably.

"I got to go finish some work I'll talk to you later." When he was walking away instead of her grabbing his arm in a rage she grasped his wrist gently and pulled him back until they were only mere inches away from each other's face. "John please answers the question." She pleaded with him. With his heartbeat racing as it always did when he was this close to her he practically chocked out" I told you before Natalie it always hurts me when your with some one else.

What she did next surprised the both of them. "John…" she said still holding onto his hand that was pressed in between their bodies slowing starting to disconnect and rest on her waist and his shoulders. Before she could say another word he moved closer eliminating the few inches between them. Then pulled her toward him and covered her mouth with his unable to resist any longer.

The kiss was passionate but as low key as they could muster since they were at work but as all their kisses have been and always will be slow and made time stop . John quickly moved his hands up her back and wrapped them around her hair and pulled her even closer and deepened the kiss which she did not object to.

It seemed that the minutes felt like days and neither one wanted to pull away. 'What am I doing? She asked herself. But I've wanted to kiss John for real since I've come home. I could stay like this forever. Wait! Michael he's waiting for me at the Palace I can't disrespect him like this but I can't turn away from john I never could.'

She opened her eyes and distanced herself from him and looked up at him. "John I… "Natalie I know maybe we shouldn't have done that. She put in her two senses after him. "I 'm sorry John but I can't do this to Michael I mean he kissed me and I kissed him back and I mean he's your brother but I just don't know anything anymore."

When John lifted himself out of the high her kiss always left him in said," I know I'll see you later." With that last note he speed walked to his office and shut the door once again to something that he knew he wasn't ready to let go of. Natalie then sped off in her own direction to go home and change hoping Michael wouldn't mind her being just a little late.

When John was in his office he grabbed his coat and headed for the other exit and was prepared to get her back for good from anyone and especially his own brother.

Michael glanced at his watch several times and noticed it was 9:20pm, and he began to worry a little bit. Just as he was about to get up and see if she was here but nervous as he was he knocked over a small glass of mineral water. 'shit he cursed under his breath he bent down to pick it up and clean up the mess he was being helped by who he thought was one of the waitresses but soon found out it wasn't them at all.

"You know I think we really need to stop running into each other while trying to clean up the other's mess." She smiled up at him as he was about to lose his footing he slowly rose from his knees and looked at her completely.

She was wearing a dark purple spaghetti strap dress that went to about her ankles that flowed out at the bottom. She had small black roses on the side and along the bottom with a sparkling ribbon belt tied loosely along her waist. Her black shoes had small black studded crystal roses. Her hair was pulled up but not completely and her eyes shimmered with her crystal eye shadow she had borrowed from Jessica.

She practically took his breath away just looking at her while Natalie was fixing her matching earrings and necklace. Michael lost himself in how beautiful she looked. "Natalie wow you look amazing."

"Thank you Michael now can we have dinner or are you going to keep gawking at me." Oh yeah sorry I didn't know if you were going to show up." With that his cheeks were flushed so red he wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out.

A few hours which felt like minutes later with their food ordered and the time going for 10:30 Natalie couldn't stop thinking about John and the latest kiss that they had shared. Michael picked up on it and asked," Natalie?" When she didn't answered he asked again," Natalie hello?

Natalie snapped out but without thing said,"John?" When she said his brother's name he couldn't help but want to feel jealous. Realizing her mistake she tried to fix it. "Michael I'm sry but You know I just can't forget John I mean I love him and I have loved him for so long." When his face fell she quickly added, "But I want to move on and I'm sorry it's just it's going to take a while can you go through it with me?" He looked into her eyes and said how I can say no to you." Then he leaned in for a small kiss and she leaned too but only for a short while.

"Okay then I thinks we should go now I'll walk you to your car okay?" Okay she said meekly. When he got to her red Honda he kissed her again and said I'll call you later bye Natalie." Bye she automatically responded. When she got in and drove off John was just coming in and realized he didn't get there in time." Natalie I'm going to tell you how I feel if it's the last thing I do."
