Bobby was waiting by his SUV for Kim to get changed. He had agreed to give her a ride over to her mother's to pick up her son. He was glad that things could still be normal between them, despite everything.
He was just happy that she had not only forgiven him for the way he had acted that morning, but had agreed to give him a second chance. She proved to him she wasn't just telling him that to shut him up she surprised him with a very deep kiss at the scene of a fire that day.
He hadn't thought it was the best idea, as they were trying to keep it all a secret. On the other hand, he wasn't stupid, and wasn't about to fight with her. He hadn't thought anyone had seen them, because no one had said anything.
He understood why she wanted to keep it all under wraps but a part of him wanted to shout it from the rooftops. He could have floated away after she had told him that she wanted to really try with him this time.
He was a little upset about the circumstances behind the second chance, but he wasn't about to fuck with fates. He loved her, and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't get himself to stop loving her. He knew that one day she'd see it, and was glad it hadn't taken a lot longer.
He wondered what might be keeping her so long. He was about to go back in to check when he saw someone approaching.
"Hey, Caffey, can we talk?" a familiar voice asked.
"Yeah, uh, sure?" Bobby responded.
"What's up between you and your partner?"
Bobby shrugged. "She's my partner, and my friend, what else do you think is up?"
"I really don't know, actually."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"She's amazing you know?"
"Who?" Bobby asked, playing stupid.
"Your partner, Kim."
Bobby shrugged. "Yeah, I guess she's a pretty special person."
"I mean I bed."
"Wouldn't know."
"You've never been with her?"
"Naw, it's against regulations."
"And you're a stickler for the rules?"
Bobby nodded. "Mostly, yeah."
"I dunno if I worked with her day in day out, I'm not sure that I could keep my hands off her."
Bobby shook his head. "It's not like that with Kim and me."
"You gay?"
"No! I enjoy women as much as the next guy, Kim's just a little outta my league, I think."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'm relationship kind of guy, she's a one night stand girl, there's no real future there."
"Wasn't she married?"
"I think that's what may have made her a one night stand kind of person. I've ridden with her long enough to know that that's what she likes, and what she wants."
Bobby was just being a pain in the ass with Bosco because he could. He could tell that the other man was getting frustrated. Bobby had also gotten the feeling that the only reason Bosco had come over was to try to get some information out of him.
Bobby was not about to give up their secret. If that's the way she wanted thing that was the way he was going to do them. But he knew she wouldn't mind if he messed with his head for a little while.
"What do you mean you knows what she likes?" asked Bosco.
"I just know what kinds of guys she goes for, and how long she's with them. She tells me just about everything."
"Really?"
"Yeah, she even told me about you two last night."
Bosco was a little put off hearing that. He had wanted to tell him about it, and shock him, just in case they had been seeing each other then. He started to think that he may not have seen Bobby with Kim earlier that day.
He was a little upset that he had not caused any rift between them. If anything he may have caused her to go to him, in some round about way. Now Bosco wanted to talk to Kim, and he wondered where she might be.
"What'd she have to say?" Bosco asked, hoping for something good.
Bobby shrugged. "Not too much, just that you were all right, but she wouldn't do it again."
"She said that?"
"Yeah, as I said she tells me just about everything."
Not only had things not gone who he had planned, as Bobby knew the truth. He also felt a little crushed because Kim didn't rave about him as he had about it with her. He felt like the whole thing had backfired in his face. The worst part was that Bobby was doing a damn good job denying anything was going on between him and his partner.
"So who else did she tell about that?" Bosco asked.
"The whole house heard it," Bobby replied.
"Oh, so I thought I saw her kissing someone today, would you happen to know who that might have been?"
Bobby shrugged, knowing full well who he had seen her with earlier that day. He knew that she wouldn't be much longer.
He just hoped Kim would show up before he let the cat out of the bag. He really didn't want to tell everyone about them. But he respected her enough to keep it all under wraps liked she wanted.
Before Bosco could really start asking question Kim appeared, dressed and ready to go. She smiled at Bosco, nervously. Then she looked at Bobby and silently begged him to get his rear in gear cause she didn't want to do deal with Bosco.
"Hi," Bosco said. "I'd like to talk to you about something."
"Oh, hi, look, I'm kind of in a hurry, I've gotta pick up my son," Kim replied hurriedly.
"Are we ever going to talk about, you know, last night?"
"I thought I made things perfectly clear last night, Bosco."
"Don't you want to reconsider?"
Kim shook her head. "Not right now, look I'm sorry I beat you to the punch, and all. And I really don't mean to blow you off but I've gotta go pick up my son. We'll talk some other time?"
"Fine." Bosco went to walk away, looking a little dejected.
"You know what? Here's my cell phone number, call me on it tomorrow before work, I'll answer it, and we can talk."
Kim handed Bosco a piece of paper with her cell phone number on it, in hopes that he might go away now that he had her number.
She got into Bobby's SUV, not even waiting for Bosco's reply. She knew he was just pursuing her because she had told him she didn't want anything else, and he was trying to save his ego.
"What was that about?" Bobby chuckled.
Kim shrugged. "I think I may have bruised his ego, and he's trying to fix it."
"That makes sense." He reached over and took her hand in his.
She smiled at him. "This is kind of nice."
"So what are going to do if he calls you?"
She shrugged. "I'll talk to him, that's it. I'm just hoping he'll go away now that he has my damn number."
He laughed. "Yeah, that might just work with him. I think Bosco suspects something is going on between us."
"Why do you say that?"
"He asked me a few things, that made me wonder if he knew. He wanted to know who you may have been kissing today."
Kim blushed. "I'm sorry."
"It's all right, I don't think he's sure, and he doesn't seem to want to share the information, so it should be good."
"All right."
"I know that you want to keep it all under wraps for a while."
She nodded. "Yeah, I shouldn't have done that today."
"Unless you want to get caught?"
She smiled at him. "I'll be good from now on."
"I thought so. Are you going to tell Joey and your mother?"
"Not yet."
He nodded. "Are you really that unsure about everything?"
"It's nothing like that. I want this to work out, this time, reall I just don't know how to tell my mother that she was right about you."
Bobby laughed. "It can't be that hard."
Kim shrugged. "I just don't know what I want to tell her yet. She's been bugging me about you for so long."
"Really?"
"She thinks you're prince charming." Kim smiled., and changed the subject before his head swelled. "The reason I don't want Joey to know just in case he tells Jimmy."
"All right. But don't forget since Jimmy has Joey tomorrow I want you to come over, so I can make you dinner."
She smiled at him. "I won't forget. I'm really looking forward to it."
"I'm glad."
He pulled up to Kim's mother's place. He watched her as she went inside. She didn't stay long, and came out carrying Joey, who was asleep. He got out of the car, going around to open the passenger's back door, to help out. She carefully placed him on the seat. He stirred a little, as she put the seat belt on him, to keep him sitting, but didn't even open his eyes.
Bobby smiled at her, and they continued on their way. They drove in silence to her place, not wanting to wake Joey. When they got there Bobby helped Kim to get him inside, and to bed.
"Thank you," Kim whispered, and she closed the door to Joey's room.
"No problem," he told her.
She kissed him lightly on the lips, before saying. "I just want you to know that I appreciate everything."
"I know," he told her before capturing her lips again in a deep, but gentle embrace.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him closer. Both of them were so glad to be sharing a moment like that. All too soon she had to pull away from him.
"As much as I'm enjoying this, I'm going have to ask you to leave," she whispered.
He brushed her cheek with his hand. "I know, we don't want things to get out of hand again. I'll see you tomorrow?"
She smiled. "I'm looking forward to it."
"Good night, Kim."
"Good night Bobby."
He had wanted to tell her that he loved her, but he knew that it was too soon for that again. He did love her, and once she told him she felt the same he would not stop telling her. Until then he just had to keep mum about the whole thing.
He went to his own apartment, and started to go through his cupboards, and looking through some of his cookbooks so he would have an idea of what he was going to prepare for Kim the next day.
He just hoped that all of his effort would not be in vain. He knew that she was not really the kind of person who liked relationships, but he wanted to show her that they could be done right.
He wasn't worried about her giving Bosco her number. He did trust that her motives was as she had said. She just wanted him to go away. He just wasn't sure how much he could trust Bosco.
He knew that he just had to let everything pan out, and see how it all turned out. He knew that the fates were not cruel enough to take her from him again.
His mind was elsewhere as he flipped through his cookbook. But even still it didn't take him too long to find the recipe he was looking for.
It was a fairly simple recipe, but the advantage to it was that it could be mostly cooked before hand, and then finished within ten minutes of it being served. He thought that that was a good idea so that they weren't at his place for a while with grumbling stomachs as they waited for him to finish cooking their supper.
He decided that he would start everything before work the next day. He put a book mark in the page, then put it on the counter, after checking he had all the ingredients.
He then went into his room, stripped down to his boxers, climbed into bed, and fell into a restful slumber with his head filled with thoughts of his partner.
