It was morning. Lexie got on the elevator to go up to the office. Before the doors closed Stuart got on.

"Morning." He said.

"Morning."

"How are you?"

"Good." "You?"

"Good." "Sorry I haven't gotten your things back to you yet." "I promise it'll be soon."

"Ok."

About an hour later the team was taking down a drug cartel. The criminals were all ex-military. Lexie was in a shootout with one of them on a dock. They were both in cover trading bullets. She shot him dead but not before he threw a grenade. Stuart saw it.

He ran and pulled her and himself out of the vicinity of the blast. He ended up on top of her.

"Are you ok Lexie?" He asked.

"Yeah." About ten seconds passed. "Ok Scola, you can get off me."

"Sorry." He got up and helped her up.

The next night at around eight Lexie was at home folding laundry in her living room. There was a knock on her door. When she answered it Stuart was standing there holding a medium-sized box.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi."

"I brought your things." "Can I come in?"

"Yeah." He went inside and sat the box of the coffee table. "Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"I noticed I did forget to give you something." She got her keys out of her purse and took his house key off the ring.

"Here."

"Thanks." "I guess I should give you yours back to." He took his keys out of his pocket and gave her her key back. "Well I guess that's it."

"Yeah I guess so."

"Ow!" Lexie said holding the left side of her lower back.

"What's wrong?"

"Ever since I woke up today, I keep getting twinges of pain in my back."

"Can I try something?"

"Yeah."

He went behind her, put his hands on her lower back and started to rub it. "Yeah you're definitely tight right there." "That feel any better?"

"Yeah." "It must've happened during the bust yesterday."

"I'm sorry."

She looked back at him. "If it hadn't have been for you, I would've died." He kissed her. She kissed him back. It lasted about twenty seconds. She broke it. "What the hell are we doing?" She went back to her laundry. Her back was to Stuart now.

"Lexie, I miss you."

"You broke up with me."

"I know." "Come here." He said turning her to face him. "Talk to me."

"Ok." "How could you say I just wanted you for sex?"

"I was upset." "I didn't mean that." "I was just frustrated."

"That hurt."

"Why couldn't we tell people about us?"

"If I did that would be admitting I'm happy." "If I'm happy, I'll lose you."

"You'll never lose me."

"I already have."

"No, I love you Lexie."

"I- She took a deep breath. "I love you too."

He smiled. "You do?"

"Yes." They kissed. He lifted her off the ground and they went upstairs. When they got to the top he put her down. She was against the wall. They quickly undressed each other. He lifted her up again. Her legs went around his waist. "Ohhh." She moaned when he slipped inside her and moved. He took them to the bedroom. They got on the bed kissing as they went further up towards the headboard. He was sitting against the headboard. "God I missed you." He said before lowering his head, kissing the middle of her chest and squeezing her breasts. "Stuart." She moaned. After a few minutes they kissed. They both moaned as she slid into him and started to move. "Lexie." He groaned. "Stuart." She moaned. "I love you so much." He said. "I love you too, ohhhh." She moaned. "I've thought about you every day since we broke up." He said. "I never thought I would kiss you again, feel you again, feel your body." He grabbed her hips. She went faster and grabbed the headboard with her left hand. "Mmmm." She moaned loudly. "Stuart, don't stop." She said in a moaning voice. They kissed. "Oh Lexie." He groaned. "Stuart oh god, oh, yes, yes, ohhh." She moaned giving in. "God Lexie." He groaned giving in. After a few seconds she got of him.

They were laying on their sides facing each other.

"Lexie, please take me back." Stuart said. "I know I hurt you but I never will again." "I love you."

She kissed him. "Yes I'll take you back." "I love you too" "We can tell whoever you want."
