She woke up to the amazing feel of his lips on hers. One slight shift of her body and she felt him on top of her, elbows pressing into the bed on either side of her. She opened her eyes and looked up at him. He smiled slightly at her and pressed his body into hers. She smiled at him as he reached down and pulled her boxers off. Having done this a million times they quickly set into making love, her breath catching in her throat, only breathing out as he pushed her over the edge. He rolled off her slightly, pulling her with him.
"Hi," he said quietly to her after a moment.
"Hi," she smiled back.
It was perfect.
Two hours later they were in CTU, working hard as always. They walked in holding both of the other's hands and giggling slightly, separating at her desk and, unconsciously, making every person in the room know what they had gotten up to that morning. By mid day they were both incredibly stressed out. Division was still refusing to send them staff to fill in, and still chewing out Tony for not meeting requirements for the week, when he had explained enough times that without a full staff, the requirement was unreasonable and irrational. Michelle was busy giving orders and working on her computer when she heard her name.
"Michelle."
She looked over and saw the speaker, Tony's mother, and his father there with her. Michelle looked at them quizzically for a moment before standing up.
"Julia, Robert, what are you guys doing here?" she said warmly, stepping to give Julia a hug and kiss on the cheek, then Robert.
"Well, you and Antonio said that we could come take you to lunch sometime this week. We have so much we need to talk about," she said.
Michelle smiled. Tony hated when his mother called him Antonio, but he was definitely used to it.
"I can take them from here, thank you," she said to the guard who escorted all guests to their destinations.
He nodded.
"Just give me one second and I'll go get him. Then we can go," she said, rustling around on her desk. "Adam, I'm sending this file to your screen. It contains a list of paperwork that needs to be completed. You and Kim should work on that. Make sure to talk to Chloe as well. I'll be back in about an hour."
"Okay," said Adam distractedly.
She turned back to Tony's parents, dropping the professional manner and putting a warm smile onto her face.
"I can go get him. Or would you like to see his office?"
"Oh, that would be nice. He's never shown it to us," said Robert.
Julia wrapped her arm around Michelle's arm.
"So dear, what have you been doing? Had a good week so far?"
"Yes, fine. A little busy but fine," she said as she walked them up the stairs.
She knocked lightly on the door before entering. Tony didn't even look up as he was on the phone.
"No Ryan we can't meet our deadlines," he said sarcastically, "You refuse to send us personnel. How the hell are we supposed to keep up if we're understaffed?"
He paused listening, looking furious but glancing up to see who he was keeping waiting. Seeing his parents he held up one finger to signal that he'd only be a minute before concentrating on the desk again, rubbing his temple.
"I can't keep pushing my people for no pay and overtime because you are too damn lazy to ask for more money for the staff we need! We need to start hiring or of course our performance is going to keep going down."
He listened again.
"You know what, fine, Ryan, that's fine. Good luck explaining that. And you can stop coming here and sticking a knife down my throat for not having the paperwork done. We're hardly able to finish regular work without wasting our time," he said, and then, "That's Fine, sir."
He stated curling the fingers resting on the table into a ball.
"Bye Ryan," he managed, giving a forced pleasant reply.
He slammed the phone down viciously before putting his head in his hands and rubbing his eyes.
"Asshole," he muttered under his breath, "Damn him."
Michelle walked around the back of him and rubbed his shoulders slightly. He sighed and glanced up.
"Hey mom, hey dad," he said, standing up to embrace them.
Once he had hugged them both he turned around and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Thanks baby," he said softly.
"Chappelle still not budging?" she asked.
"Yeah," he said, "The man has a stick up his ass. It's like I have to explain it a million times over and he still just doesn't get it."
"Antonio," said his mother, "That's not the way you should talk about your boss."
"You don't know my boss, mama," he said.
Michelle loved it when he slipped into partial Spanish, well any Spanish. Probably because the majority of the times that he spoke Spanish he was, well, memories of him speaking Spanish were generally fantastic ones.
"Your mother's right Tony," said Robert, "He could make things bad for you. Or Michelle," he added as an afterthought.
"Don't worry, Dad," he said, "So how are you doing?" he asked them.
His mother sighted softly but answered anyway.
"We're doing well. We're very excited to be seeing Isabel. You're sure you can watch Sami?"
"Of course," said Tony, walking down the stairs, Michelle's hand in his and a hand on his father's shoulder.
Adam approached them hastily.
"Tony this doesn't add up," he started.
Tony sighed and took the file from Adam.
"Search the international database again, but this time get people to help you and widen the search," he said.
"Okay," said Adam as Tony continued walking and he followed.
"Good. Do that," said Tony.
Jack approached.
"Tony, Michelle we need to go over the data pulled up by Chloe. Adam, weren't you working on that too?"
"Yeah," said Adam.
"Later Jack, we're on our way out," said Tony.
"Alright," said Jack.
"Antonio," said Julia, "No vas a introducirnos a ellos?"
"Lo siento Mama," he said.
"Jack, Adam, these are my parents, Robert and Julia Almeida," he said, scratching the back of his neck.
He glanced slightly at Michelle and saw her suppressing a grin, making a mental note to ask her about it later.
"Nice to meet you," said Jack.
They exchanged greetings before Adam went off hurriedly towards IT.
"Lovely to meet you Jack," said Julia, while Robert shook Jack's hand, "You finish up Antonio," said Julia, "Michelle and I have lots to talk about."
She smiled at Michelle and locked her arm around Michelle's. They walked off talking and smiling, Tony watching them go, again scratching his face.
"Let's hope your mother doesn't overload her with wedding information," said Robert with a small chuckle.
Tony smiled.
"I wouldn't worry. Michelle's been dying to get going on the wedding, but I'm not much use," said Tony, "I've told her I don't care where or how I marry her, just thaat I do."
Both Jack and Robert chuckled.
"You good here Jack?" Tony asked.
"Yeah," he said, "Go take lunch."
He took the file from Tony.
"Nice to meet you," he told Robert, before walking swiftly away and opening the folder, searching for Adam.
Tony and his father made their way over to the women, Tony wrapping an arm around Michelle and kissing her on the side of the face and putting a hand on the back of his mother, turning to her slightly but keeping his arm around Michelle.
"Where do you want to go Mom?" Tony asked.
"You kids know better than we do what is good to eat around here. You choose," she said with a smile and a pat on Tony's arm.
They arrived back at CTU after a nice lunch with Tony's parents. Tony still had his arm around her as they walked back in, both seeming oblivious to the glances they got from fellow coworkers.
"Oh I meant to ask you," said Tony suddenly, turning to her and letting his hand slide down her arm as he took both her hands in his, interlocking his fingers in hers and holding their hands strait down between them, "What were you so amused at earlier. I could tell you were trying not to laugh when my parent were in CTU. What was is?" he asked with a little grin.
"Oh it wasn't that," Michelle said with a smile, "You were talking in Spanish," she said.
"So…" he said, "You've heard me speak in Spanish before."
"I'll tell you later," she said into his ear, kissing him quickly on the lips before walking off, leaving Tony dumbfounded in the middle of the bullpen.
He stood there for a second before letting out a breath of laughter and glancing over at her with a small, curiously knowing smile.
The rest of the day consisted of meetings and working that was punctuated with lots of flirty glances, as well as an extreme inability to concentrate.
"Hey Jack," said Tony, going over to him, "Some of us are going to go get drinks after work. Wanna come? You could call Kate and she could meet us there."
"Yeah," said Jack, "Who else is coming?"
"Uh, Kim, Chase, Dale, a couple other people," he said, distractedly looking over Jack's shoulder.
Jack turned around and saw that he had been merely staring at Michelle.
"God Tony get a grip," said Jack.
"What?" asked Tony.
Jack raised his eyebrows, and Tony just shrugged with a little grin playing around his lips.
"OK well see you there," said Tony, walking off in the direction of Michelle.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her on the side of the neck quickly. Michelle turned around and faced him.
"What's with you today?" she giggled, "I know I'm not any better, but really."
He stared unconsciously, longingly at her smiling lips.
"I don't know. Can't keep my hands off you, even here," he said, not moving his eyes from her mouth but beginning to play with one of the loose curls of her hair.
"OK but don't be so obvious," she giggled, turning around and shuffling some papers on her desk.
He rubbed his hand against the small of her back, resting his chin and then his forehead on the back of her shoulder.
"Come on," she said, turning around to him putting a hand on his cheek, "Let's go."
Enjoy:)
