ABC owns them


Chapter 4

John continued to take Natalie's mouth as she had him pinned up against her car, urgently as if not being able to get enough of each other they continued to make out for a few minutes till Natalie came to her senses.

"Oh, My God, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. this isn't like me, it isn't like me at all" Natalie told him embarrassed by the fact that she made out with him, almost a complete stranger in the middle of the afternoon in a parking lot.

She became more and more embarrassed as she thought about it and she got in her car quickly and sped out of the parking lot.

John could almost still feel her lips on his, he leaned up against a near by car and stood there unable to move for a few minutes. He closed his eye's and relived it, their kissing, it was so intense, it felt so good, she wanted it as much as he had, he smiled to himself now realizing she wants him as much as he wants her, almost from the second they met, and he swore he had never tasted anyone or anything as sweet. He opened his eyes and started to walk towards his car, he needed to get back to his mom's place and take a cold shower, yeah; a cold shower was definitely needed.

Natalie drove home to her apartment out of breath, she still couldn't catch it, she touched her lips with one of her fingers and she swore she could still taste his lips on hers. She pulled into a parking spot and she got out of her car, she went upstairs to her place for a cold shower, yes, that was what she needed, a cold shower and then she needed to get ready to work at Izzy's tonight.

Sometime around eight pm John sat in his car outside the Red Pelican, he had gotten the address from Izzy Foley's file earlier today and he knew she would be undercover at the bar trying to find out information on Izzy, trying to win his trust. He watched as she arrived and walked into the bar, his eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw what she was wearing. He looked away briefly but then looked again, fish neck stockings, the shortest mini shirt he had ever seen and then her blouse. The blouse that there wasn't much too, a red sequin type shirt which looked to be two sizes to small, to small since it pushed her breast up almost into her face. My God! Is that her waitress uniform, he asked himself and got an unsettling feeling, although he quite enjoyed the view he didn't want anyone else to, it took all of him not to run over and throw his jacket around her so no one had the opportunity to look at her. John waited for a few minutes after she walked into the bar and then he went over to the surveillance van with her partner Harry in it. He knocked three times to let them know it was him and he went in to listen to what was going on in the bar. Most of the night was uneventful; Izzy himself was only there for a few hours. John sat there an a few times had to calm himself after hearing some remarks that were made to Natalie by some of the bars patrons, by some lowlifes, he also had to leave the van for a few minutes when it seemed someone, a lowlife copped a feel or to on Natalie, he didn't know why but he was beginning to lose it. Why he asked himself while he was outside the van, why was she making him so crazy, why did he care so much about someone he just met? He had no real answers to his questions and he calmed enough to go back inside the van.

Sometime around three am the bar was closing and Natalie came out and got into her car, they all watched from the van as she pulled away from the bar, John quickly returned to his car in hopes of catching up with her, he ended up following her home. He saw her get out of her car and he approached her quietly. He was walking behind her. Natalie felt and heard someone come up behind her, when he came closer she swung around with her leg and kicked him in the balls. John automatically grabbed himself and fell to the floor in pain.

"Oh, My, God John I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you, let me help you inside and we'll.. I mean you can put ice on it..I mean them.. I'm so sorry" Natalie told him as she helped to lift him up off the ground, she brought him inside her apartment and helped him to the couch. She went and brought him an ice pack and at first she was about to put it on him when she looked up and saw his face. She smiled and he took the ice pack from her. After a few minutes he was finally able to speak.

"Remind me to never sneak up on you again" John told her with a small smile.

"Are you alright? Are they better? I really am sorry" Natalie told him and he laughed little

"Do you always go around kicking men where it hurts?" John said laughing as she laughed a little too.

"Do you always sneak up on women in the dark early morning?" she said answering his question with a question. They both continued to laugh for a few minutes. Natalie took a seat next to him and she pulled a couch pillow close to her.

"What are you doing here at this time in the morning?" she asked him curious

"I... I. wanted to make sure you got home okay, you know from the bar," John told her

"Were you at the bar?" in the van?"

" Yeah, I was just following Bo's orders to make sure his favorite niece that was more like a daughter to him was safe."

"Well if I'm like a daughter to him then you would be my brother now wouldn't you? And then what we did earlier would be most definitely inappropriate."

"No, it wouldn't I'd be your step brother, no blood lines crossing" he said flirting and smiling back at her

"You know John I'm sort of glad that came up, the kissing thing I mean" she said getting serious again

"I don't want you to get the wrong impression, I don't usually do that, I mean just attack someone in a public place and well...well. You seem to be a great guy but.. you won't be here long and you're sort of family, so I think maybe it's best it never happens again, I mean I'd like for us to be friends, right now I'm not in a good place to be jumping into anybodies bed." Natalie told him and she saw a bit of disappointment in his face.

"Yeah, I think your right, I'm only going to be here short term and Friends would be good, I'd like that" John told her and she smiled.
