Sasha had made a huge mistake. She had known that she did the morning after with a pounding hang over. She shouldn't have drank her sorrows away nor slept with Ty. She had more important things to do. She had to get her reputation back at the house.

"So. As I was saying," Bosco said, "We should stop in and check on Faith."

"She'll be fine. She's dealt with the flu before." Sasha muttered.

"I know, but Fred and the kids aren't there." Bosco said.

"That's exactly what she needs. She doesn't need the two of us disrupting her sleep.' Sasha said, "If she needs us, she has your cell phone number." Bosco frowned slightly.

"I like the old Sasha better." He said.
"And what do you mean by that?" She asked him.

"What do I mean by that? I mean, the past month you've been very snippy and dare I say Bitchy?" Bosco said.

"No you dare not." Sasha said, "I'm sorry I'm snippy, but I just have a lot of things on my mind."

"Monique?" Bosco asked.

"No." Sasha said.

"Your nephew?" He asked. Sasha took in a deep breath.

"No." She said.
"You're not still hung up on the doc things are you?" He asked. Sasha narrowed her eyes, "I guess you are."

"It's something else." Sasha said.

"Tell me." Bosco said, "Is about you being a floater?"

"Sort of...No, it's not." Sasha said scratching her neck, "Do you remember that call Ty and I had a couple of weeks ago? The one with the kids?" Bosco nodded.

"Yeah. The dad was arrested." He said.

"Which is good, but...Ty and I were very...depressed after that." Sasha said, "And...We had a few drink to drown our sorrows."

"He's been known to do that." Bosco said, "but I'm surprised that you did that." Sasha nodded.

"Yeah. Me too. And Um..." Sasha shook her head, "Never mind."

"Tell me." Bosco said, "because I think I know what it is."

"No you don't." Sasha said. Bosco nodded.

"Sure I do. You and Ty got really drunk and the next morning you woke up in his bed." He said. Sasha laughed.

"That shows what you know." She said. Bosco arched his eyebrow.

"Oh yeah?" He asked. Sasha nodded.

"It was my bed." She said. Bosco chuckled.

"Don't beat yourself up about it." He said, "People get drunk. People have sex. It's no big deal." Sasha sighed softly with a smile. For once, Bosco was actually helping her.

"Thanks." She said looking out the window. "Have you ever slept with anyone at work?" He shook his head.
"Sully doesn't turn me on." He winked, "But I did sleep with Cap's daughter." Sasha smirked opening the car door.

"You're unbelievable." She said stepping out. Bosco jumped to his feet.

"I'm Maurice Boscorelli. What do you expect?" He winked at her. Sasha chuckled as she walked into the house. He was right though. She shouldn't beat herself up. It was just sex. No one got shot. No one got hurt. It was just sex.

"Hey." Ty walked up to Sasha. She smiled politely.

"Hey." She said.

"Do you want to get something to eat?" He asked. Sasha shook her head as she went into the locker room.

"No thanks. I'm going to go home and crash." She said.

"You need to eat sometime." Ty said.

"I have a fridge in my apartment." Sasha said. Ty sighed.

"I'm getting a vibe from you." He said. Sasha couldn't help but to laugh. She looked at him, eyes sparkling.

"Ty, what we did last night...We shouldn't have done what we did." Sasha said, "I don't want to lead you on or anything."

"You're not leading me on." Ty smiled, "We're both adults and I would hope we're mature enough to handle this. I'm not asking to be your husband or every your boyfriend. I just want some fun."

"Oh I'm sure you do." Sasha chuckled going into her locker. "So you mean something like...with no string attached?" Ty nodded with a slight shrug.

"I like you, Sasha. That's no secret, but I'm not looking for anything serious right now." He said. Sasha turned and narrowed her eyes.
"So you want me to be your fuck buddy?" She asked.

"You don't have to be so crude about it, but yeah." Ty said.

"You're unbelievable!" She cried. "I'm not that kind of woman." Sasha closed her locker and stalked away. Ty groaned. Bosco was laughing.

"What?" Ty muttered.

"You're getting yourself in deep." Bosco said, "Sasha is a real kind of woman."

"Real? You mean the others I've been with are fake?" Ty asked.

"No. Sasha is a lioness. She is a very strong woman. She's unlike anything I've ever seen before." Bosco said.

"If you're that interested, why don't you date her?" Ty asked.

"Cause she's yours whether she wants it or not." Bosco said, "She's a woman. Treat her like one." Ty chuckled.

"You're giving me female advice? Lord..." he shook his head, "Thanks." Ty walked out of the locker room looking for Sasha. She was in the office working on the computer. He walked in there, "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Sasha asked, "For being a man?"

"Yeah." Ty said. Sasha glanced at him from over her shoulder. "Can't we just have fun together? it doesn't have to lead to sex, but if it does that's okay."

"Fun..." Sasha said, "I don't want to let my guard down."

"Why do you have it up in the first place?" Ty asked, "I'm not going to hurt you, Sasha." She sighed softly.

"Let me find that out okay?" She asked him. Ty nodded.

"All right." He said, "SO...Does it sound like a plan?" Sasha nodded.

"As long as you pay for me sometimes." She said.

"I promise I will." Ty laughed. Sasha smiled turning back to the computer. Ty wanted to be her friend who occasionally had sex with her. Man, that could get her into a lot of trouble.
