Don was at the office finishing up paperwork on a case that they had just solved when his phone rang.
"Eppes."
"Hey good looking!"
"Hey Giada! What's cooking?" Don laughed.
"Oh not too much other than a nice dinner consisting of Egg Plant Parmesan and a pork roast."
"Sounds delicious. Are you inviting me over?"
She paused for a moment before answering, "Um, No, not really, I just wanted to call and tell you what I had made for dinner."
In his best-wounded voice Don said, "Well I am really hurt. You call me up and tell me you are making eggplant Parmesan and a roast and then go and say that you are not inviting me over. What kind of girlfriend are you?"
There was silence on the other end of the line.
"Giada, You there?"
"Uh, yeah sorry."
"You ok?"
He heard her clear her throat, "Yeah, it's just ummm. You called me your girlfriend. I think that is a first."
"Yeah I guess I did. Is that ok?"
"Well, now I'm' gonna have to change my mind and invite you over. How about it? Think you'd like to come over?
Don grinned, "Yes most definitely." He drummed his fingers on desk and waited for an answer.
"We'll, you didn't answer my question."
"Uh I didn't? She said shyly, "What was it again?"
He laughed, "You just want me to say it again."
"Say what again?" Giada said deviously.
Don gazed at the ceiling and repeated, "Is it ok that I call you my girlfriend?"
"Uh huh. I think that is more then ok with me. And to answer your question, the best kind of girlfriend one that can cook and make pies!"
"Well you know the way to my heart! Food. Should I pick up some wine?"
"Yeah that sounds great. I will be at the office till 5:30 so if you want to swing by about 6:30 that would be great and if something comes up leave a message with my assistant I will be in and out of meetings for the rest of the afternoon."
Don felt a little guilty, "Giada, nothing will come up. Err, I hope nothing comes up. Sorry about the last few dates."
He heard her sigh. "It's ok. Well ok, not ok, but I understand. I really do. I know you wouldn't cancel if you really didn't have too."
"Yeah, but I still feel really bad about it."
"If it will make you fell better you can bring one of your suspects head on a platter. How's that?"
Don grinned, "You are so blood thirsty. But, I think I will maybe just get you some flowers."
"Oh darn! Ok well I have to get going. I will see you later."
"Yeah, till later."
"Mmmm is that a promise?" Giada said as she hung up the phone.
Don hung up his phone he had a bit of a goofy smile plastered on his face.
At the same time Megan & Colby walked by.
Colby stopped to look at Don, "Hey, Don you ok?"
Megan grinned and said, "Yeah, Romeo's fine."
It is about 615pm and she hadn't received any messages canceling from Don cancelling their date.
Giada flew threw her front door. She almost stepped on one of the dogs.
"Shiloh! Ug, you are such a little brat"
At the same time her shepherd mix dog, Lady walked over to greet her mistress and as usual sat down and waited to be petted.
"See Shiloh? Why can't you be as well behaved as Lady?" She said, as she whisked the 9lb dog
in the air to nuzzle him close.
"Ok guys you two better behave! No begging at the table! What am I saying? Like that will ever happen."
At the same time, Giada's twin brother, Giovanni walked in the room. He said, "Umm who are you taking too?"
"Just talking to the dogs."
He shook his head at his sister, "Uh huh. You are so weird."
"Whatever! Hey thanks for putting the roast and the parm into the oven for me."
"No prob. I stole a piece of pie."
"Why am I not surprised? How's the pie?
"It was good. Thanks for letting me crash again. It makes it a lot easier to come here when I
have a double than to go home and then back to the hospital."
"Hey, what are sisters for? Anyway, I am going to change before Don gets here."
"Don again? You must like him. You are nicer to him then you to your own twin. You make him parm and pie!"
"You are such a baby! Go to work and save some lives!"
"Maybe I will call out so I can chaperone."
She glared at her brother, "I am not even going to dignify that with an answer. Don't let the dogs get out when you leave."
Giada headed up to her bedroom to change.
Giada glanced at the clock. It read 620pm. She skimmed through her closest thinking "what to wear, what to wear?"
She grabbed her brown gaucho pants and a pink sleeveless top. Pulled her curly hair out of its bun and tried in vain to make it look like it has not been in a bun all day. She quickly freshened up and threw on some lip-gloss. Fabulous! She said as she rolled her eyes at the mirror.
Of course at this time the doorbell rang which sent the dogs into a barking frenzy.
Giada started to rush down the stairs and then stopped to compose herself. It has been almost a week since she has seen Don last and well who could blame her for her excitement.
She opened the door to let him in and to keep the dogs from getting out, "Back you two beasts, let the man in."
Don laughed at the sight of Giada pushing the two dogs a side.
"Hi there." She touched his arm.
"Hi yourself." He replied. He then smiled and leaned over to kiss Giada. He smelled the sweet scent of her perfume and inhaled a little bit deeper.
Giada flushed ever so slightly as she returned his kiss.
"I bring an offering of flowers and wine." He held up the wine bottled
Giada saw the flowers and gasped, "You remembered irises are my favorite flower."
He liked that she was pleased that he remembered something like that.
"Well come in, come in., Dinner should be ready. Go sit on the couch and relax." She turned and asked him, "Do you want a beer?"
"Yeah, that sounds good."
Instead of sitting on the couch he followed her into the kitchen savored the way she walked.
"So, how was the rest of your day?" She asked.
"Not to bad. Got a lot of paperwork done and files updated. How was yours?"
"Eh. About at good as sitting in meetings all day could be." She handed him the beer.
He replied, "Yeah sounds like fun. I saw your brother on his way out."
She shook her head, "Yeah, he was here between shifts. He wanted to stay and chaperone but I think he just wanted another piece of pie." She said as she gestured to the pie with a large gaping slice in it.
Don pulled her close and kissed Giada savoring the feeling of her pressed against him. He murmured, "Chaperone? Who needs a chaperone?"
Giada giggled. At the same time the bell went off for dinner.
She pulled away from him, "Go sit down. Dinner is ready." She pointed to the fridge, "Can you grab the salad from the fridge? We can start that while the parm and meat are cooling."
They sat down to a nice meal.
"Can I get you anything else?"
Don shook his head. "No I think I ate more then enough."
"Yeah I think I did too."
Giada stood up to start clearing the dishes away. Don said, "Here let me helps you with that."
"I got it."
He shrugged, "If I help it gets done faster."
"Thanks." She kissed him on the cheek.
They both retired to the living room to relax.
Giada sat on the couch next to Don. "Do you want me to put the game on?" she asked.
"Yeah, that sounds good. We don't have to watch the whole thing I can just check the scores."
"No worries, we can watch the game. I used to sit and watch the game with my dad all the time. Sometimes, it was the only time we were able to spend time together. You know with all his traveling and then all the activities that I was involved in? So I am into it as much as I could be."
Don smiled and kissed her forehead.
"You know you're a pretty decent girlfriend," he said. He then put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close.
A small smile enfolded over her lips as she rested her head on Don's shoulder. She mused could it get any better than this? She closed her and eyes and just relaxed.
Don looked down at Giada's face and saw the little smile that had spread over her lovely face.
Her eyes were closed and he saw that she looked contented. He brushed a stray lock of her curly hair away from her face and turned back to the game.
Don's cell phone rang it broke the silent contentment.
He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his dad, "Hey, dad. No you are not bothering me.
"Yes, I am at her house. Hold on. My dad wants to know if you'll be joining us for dinner again."
"Yeah, sure. Just the name the date."
"Uh huh, Tomorrow night a 6pm?"
"Sounds good to me. Tell him I will bring dessert."
"Dad, yeah she will be there. She said that she like to bring dessert."
"He said thanks and that would be fine. Ok talk to you later bye dad."
Don turned to Giada and asked her, "So what are you going to bring for dessert?"
"You know that pie I made? I knew my brother would eat some so I made 2 pies."
Don laughed, "What kind of pie or I guess pies?
"Well, you saw the apple one on the counter with the big gaping hole in it and the other one is an ice cream pie."
"MMM? That sounds good."
Don looked into Giada' eyes when he leaned into kiss her.
They began to kiss slowly and gently at first. He ran his hands down her neck then to her back as he pressed into her. Their kisses became deeper. He pulled her onto his lap and started kissing her neck. His hands caressed her thighs.
Giada pressed her body into Don more. She allowed him to push her down on the couch flat so his body was on top of hers.
He nibbled on her ear and then slowly kissed her neck.
Giada felt his need and her body like wise was responding just as strong.
She breathed his name, "Don?"
"Mmmm?"
"Let's go upstairs."
He stopped kissing her and searched her eyes. "You sure?" He said in a raspy voice.
"Yes, I most certainly am."
He smiled and said, "Okay."
He got up and extended his hand to help her up. She smiled and gently pulled him to the stairs.
They stopped at the top of the stairs to share another long kiss. She pulled him to the bedroom and puts the lights on dim.
They stood at the foot of the bed and kissed. Don slipped his hand under Giada's shirt and pulled it over her head to reveal a pink floral bra that covered her luscious breasts. He lowered his lips to kiss the tops of them.
Giada started to unbutton Don's shirt. She longed to just rip it off him so she can feel his skin next to hers. She ran her hands down his back and shoulders. She caressed them as they continued to kiss.
She pulled out of the embrace.
"Let me go change into something more comfortable." She excused herself and went in the bathroom.
"Oh boy" she sighed. "Ok, ok relax Giada." She splashed some cold water oh her face. She undressed and slipped on the pale lilac negligee that she bought the week after their first date. She looked in the mirror and thought, "well buying this was a bit presumptuous but right on the money." She freshened up with a splash of her perfume and dusted herself with her powder. She looked into the mirror squared her shoulders back and stepped out of the bathroom
He was resting on her bed with his arms above his shoulders. He saw her step out the bathroom and immediately sat up. He went to her side and guided her to the bed.
"You look beautiful", he whispered in her ear.
She smiled and put her arms around his neck.
They began kissing again and caressing each other. He felt her hands tug at his belt to unbuckle it. Her hands caressed his hipbones as she freed him of the rest of his outer wardrobe.
He picked her up and laid her on the bed. He scooted down next to her and began to kiss her face and lips. She pulled him closer to her. Their kisses became deeper. She could feel the heat that he was generating towards her. She slipped her hands into his boxers. His hands slid her negligee up to reveal her thighs. He braced himself to enter her. She moaned with pleasure as he slid into her moist center. Their bodies worked in tempo, slowly and purposely. He heard her moan his name as she grasped his buttocks to pull him closer. Their rhythms became more frantic as their lovemaking continued. Their kisses matched the pace of their moving bodies.
Don heard Giada gasp ever so slightly with extreme pleasure. He felt a pulsing inside her and it surrounded his hard core.
Don opened his eyes and found him self-looking into hers eyes. Her eyes were luminous and full of pleasure. He realized she had orgasmed and he felt her body contracting around him. He began to move with her contractions and lost him self in his own pleasure. His orgasm was deep and encompassing.
He shuddered with pleasure one last time and kissed Giada firmly on the lips. He looked into her eyes and saw love for him in them. It drew him back a little.
"Giada?" He managed to whisper.
"Mmm?"
"I…"
She searched his eyes, "What?"
He was about to tell her he loved her but he couldn't. He wasn't sure if he did feel that way. Don knew that if he said something that he didn't mean to her that he would break her heart. Looking into her eyes he couldn't do that to her.
"I just wanted to say how beautiful you are."
He leaned down and kissed her again.
He pulled out of her warmth reluctantly. It felt like he was loosing a part of himself.
He pulled her close. She nuzzled into his chest and closed her eyes.
They both fell into a blissful sleep.
A few hours pass and Don awakened. He glanced at the clock it read, 1135pm. He looked down and saw Giada curled up beside him sleeping. He watched her sleep and contemplated their early lovemaking. Lovemaking? Yes, that was it. Not just sex. He knew that he would remember this moment with her for the rest of his life.
Giada stirred awake.
"Don?"
"Yes, I's late. I guess I should be going."
"Stay. I want you to stay." Her voice was nothing but a whisper.
He kissed and nuzzled her neck. "Yes, I can run home in the morning and change before I go to the office.
She began to kiss his lips, chin and than his chest. She started to caress him.
She straddled him and ran her hands over his chest. She ran her hands across his chest as she leaned into kiss him. One of her negligee straps fell off her shoulders exposing one of her breast.
Don leaned up to kiss her nipple. He nibbled with his teeth causing her to moan. He slid his other hand under her negliee and felt her warm and moist with desire. He then flipped her over onto her back so he could be on top.
"I want to see your whole body." He said as he pulled the negligee off.
She moaned, "Please. Don't keep me waiting."
He smiled and started kissing her slowly up and down her body. He stopped at her breasts and teased her nipples. She let out another moan. He liked to see her begging for him.
"Don please I can't take it anymore."
He laughed and finally acquiesced to her pleas.
He pushed into her slowly with long strokes at first and then harder shorter ones. Her breathing became more rapid and he felt her nails rake his back.
They make love for the second time with even more explosive results.
They held each close and fell into a deep sleep.
It is 645am and Don woke up. At first he was unsure of where he was. He rolled over and recognized his surroundings.
He smiled lied back on to the bed to contemplate the events of the past evening. He heard the shower go on and humming coming from the bathroom.
Giada, poked her head out and said, "Want to join me Agent Eppes?"
He nodded his head and got out of the bed
He stepped into the bathroom.
He caught a glimps of Giada in the tub washing her hair.
She called "hey you coming in or not?"
He pulled back the panel to see a large Jacuzzi tub that also had panels to make it a shower.
There were two showerheads pulsating hot water.
Don whistle,d "Sweet."
"Like it?"
Don nodded.
Don watched Giada comb her curly locks out. She then took a washcloth and lathered it up with scented soap.
'Excuse me kind sir but would you be so kind to wash my back?"
Don laughed, "It would be an honor to wash milady's back."
He took the cloth and gently washed Giada's back.
She smiled and began to wash his chest.
"Now turn around so I can wash your back." She purred.
He turned his back to her. She massaged the soap into his neck and back and even in his backside.
They helped each other wash the soap off as they caressed each other.
Don slipped his hands around Giada's back and kissed her. He then proceeded to kiss both of her breasts and then her stomach and back up to her breasts.
He started to kiss and suckle her nipples.
"Don, make love to me again."
"Here?"
"Yes here. "
Giada's hands found his shaft and started to caress it to hardness.
Don's breathing became more rapid as he moaned in pleasure.
She wrapped one of her legs around Don's middle while the other counter balanced her.
Giada than took Don's member and slid him into herself.
They move their bodies in a quick rhythm since they were in a precarious position. They both orgasmed rather quickly and collapsed onto each other.
They pull away to allow the warm water to rinse over them.
Giada smiled. "I am getting out now. When your finish come downstairs I'l have some breakfast for you."
She kissed his cheek and stepped out of the shower.
He changed the pressure of the showerhead to work on the kinks in his neck.
He finished his shower and turned off the water. He toweled off and put on his close from yesterday.
Don joined Giada downstairs in the kitchen for breakfast. He stole a glance at her as she skimmed through the paper. She caught him looking at her.
"Everything alright?"
"More then alright? I could get use to this."
She cocked her head to the side and replied, "Well, I will have to keep that in mind."
He got up and kissed her on the forehead and said, "I will see you later? Do you want me to pick you up later?"
"Nah, I will meet you there since I have to come home first."
"Ok well have a good day. I will see you later."
"You too." She grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze. Giada, watched Don leave and smiled at the wonderful evening and morning they has shared.
She sighed, "Guess I better snap out of it and get ready to work." She walked upstairs humming a little tune.
He walked out to his car and got in. He started the ignition. Before he pulled out of the driveway he looked back at the house that contained this woman, the woman that he was falling in love with. The realization hit him and it scared him a bit. He shook his head and groaned, "It's going to be a long day."
