Hey guys! Monker here! I am going out of town for a bit…so this might be the last chapter for a little while. Cause when I get back I have to have time to finish writing the next chapter and I still have to get it proofed read by my sister and still post it! So I'm sorry for the wait.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Monk brought his head up from the sink (he had been brushing his teeth when he thought he heard a three knocks at his door)…he waited…knock knock knock knock he wiped his mouth and walked down his hall towards the door.

"Natalie, what is it…did you leave something?" he asked as he opened the door wider to let her in and turned around and started walking back towards his bathroom…what ever it was she wanted couldn't possibly be more important then his dental hygiene!

"Not exac-" She began but was cut off.

"Well what ever it was could you lock the door behind you when you leave?" Monk asked as he started to turn the corner.

"Wait! Adrian!" she shouted right before he was out of view.

A puzzled Adrian Monk took a few steps back and turned around. "Yes?" he said slightly annoyed.

"Adrian I need to talk to you."

"How important is this?"

"Very."

"Is it important enough that it cant wait for 5 minutes?"

"5 minutes? For what?"

"My teeth."

Natalie shook her head in confusion, "What?"

"I was just about to start with the flossing when you knocked…7 times."

Natalie sighed, "yes Adrian," she said, "this is more important then your teeth."

Monk gave her a not convinced look and Natalie rolled her eyes. 'Do you still think you might have feelings for him?' Natalie asked herself in the head. "Look…this is really important."

"I believe we already established the importance of this conversation like, 40 seconds ago." Monk said as he showed her into the living room…still thinking about his teeth…but willing to talk about something else.

"Adrian." She said with an annoyed voice.

"Well will you hurry up and say it?" Monk asked, equally annoyed.

"Ok…fine!" She said as she and Adrian both took a seat on the couch. "Adrian………I just have to know one thing…"

Monk stared at her and nodded for her to continue.

"I just need to know if…you like me."

Monk chuckled. "Is that what all this is about?" he laughed again. "Of course I like you." He said patting her on the shoulder.

"No Mr. Monk."

Adrian frowned, "I…I don't like you?"

"No Mr. Monk I don't think you understudied my question…I mean do you like me?"

"And I mean yes I do."

Natalie stared at him for a second…it was obvious that he didn't understand what she was getting at. "Ok," she said. "Let me try a different way." She said as she looked at the wall behind him and licked her lips while rubbing her hands together.

This action didn't go unnoticed by Mr. Monk who was having a hard time taking his eyes off of the woman before him.

"I think…" she began, "I think…I may have feelings for you that we haven't previously discussed." 'My gosh woman…you make it sound like a business move.' Natalie noted silently in her head.

Monk looked confused. "Ooook."

"So…I think that we should get them straitened out now."

"Ok" Monk said as he nodded his head in agreement.

"Now…I'm about to do something…something that might catch you off guard so…please don't fire me."

Monk smiled and nodded. "Ok."

Then Natalie closed her eyes and took a deep breath in…………then let it out. She opened her eyes and grabbed the back of his neck and brought him towards her. She pressed his lips up against hers and a quick kiss.

She was right…it did catch him off guard! Through the whole '3 ½ seconds kiss' he had his eyes wide open with shock. Through most of the kiss he was wondering how any woman's lips (other than Trudy's) could fit so perfectly on his. It was as if God specially carved his and Natalie's lips to connect…where hers curved in…his bumped out…and vise versa. And for 3 ½ seconds…Monk was feeling something he hadn't felt in nearly 11 years. It was the feeling one gets when everything around them stops and it almost feels like your whole body is understanding and enjoying the same great feeling all at once. All of the sudden things started to come back to Monk. He remembered what he should do at this point…how he should drape his arms over her and deepen the kiss. He remembered what he should do with his mouth to make the kiss more enjoyable for the two. He remembered everything…but before he had the chance to do any of it…the 3 ½ seconds was over and she pulled away with closed eyes like she was afraid to look at his reaction.

When she opened her eyes, instead of looking at her boss, she turned to her purse and grabbed a hand wipe and gave it to Monk. He took it and wiped his lips while deep in thought.

Then Natalie finally looked at him as he stared at the crooked coffee table in front of them and gently wiping his lips with the white disposable cloth.

Natalie swallowed and began, "So my question is this…"

Monk looked up at her.

"Did you feel anything in that?"

'More then you know!' Monk thought. But instead of saying anything…he just grabbed her gently by the sides of her face and brought her lips back to him. It was then that he got to do all the things he remembered.

'By the looks of things…he felt something.' She thought as he kissed her softly yet firmly all at the same time.

When the kiss ended…he brought their faces apart and looked at her. It was at that point that he started to realize the meaning behind his actions. This made him blush and pinch his lips together in an embarrassed smile. He brushed a stray strand of her hair back into place and nodded softly. "Sorry." He practically whispered out of embarrassment as he stood up and pulled her to her feet. "I-I'm sorry…I shouldn't have done that…and I'm sorry."

"B-"

"So…if you would please excuse me…" he said as he quickly walked out of the living room and back into his bathroom.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Ok…I know it wasn't that long of a chapter………ok it was pretty dang short. But I mean…what did you expect? It was a kissing scene! How long can I make a kissing scene? Oh well…I hope you liked it anyway.

Author's Note: I know that in a lot of fics…the writers normally write Monk as being the first to discover the love between him and Natalie or him and Sharona…and they never have the woman (who ever she may be) make the first move…its always he (Monk) who makes the first move and catches the woman (who ever she may be) off guard. So I thought it would be fun to have Monk sort of relies it first but then have Natalie make the first move and sort of catch Monk off guard. Hehe…so I had a lot of fun with this one by sort of messing with Monk a bit. lol. Much fun!

Please review!
