Lucas woke up in Vic's bed, with her sleeping peacefully beside him, they had been seeing each other for 3 weeks and Lucas was already used to waking up with her curls spread across the pillow and her leg thrown over him.
He got out of bed very carefully trying not to wake her,he took a quick shower, put on his uniform and left a cup of coffee on her table as he did every day they spent together, but today was different, it was his birthday.
Lucas didn't care about his birthday anymore, he didn't have any friends and his only family was Jennifer but she always call.
He didn't say anything to Vic, it was a day like any other and he didn't know where that thing between them was going.Vic arrived at the station just in time for her shift, she found her friends having breakfast in the kitchen.
"Good morning guys," everyone responded in chorus.
" The chief arrived for the quarterly meeting with Sullivan, did you know it's his birthday?" Andy said walking into the kitchen right behind Vic.
Vic choked on the muffin he was eating, luckily no one noticed only Gibson.
"We should wish him a happy birthday."
"Are you trying to get promoted to Lieutenant Bishop?" Jack joked and Maya threw a dish towel at him.
Vic couldn't pay attention to the conversation or her friends, she could only think of one thing, Lucas Ripley, should she do something for his birthday? Buy a gift? She didn't know what point in their relationship they were at, they saw each other every day except when they were on call.
Vic got up from her chair and walked out of the kitchen as his friends continued talking.
Montgomery followed her, he was curious, he noticed that Vic was distracted during breakfast.
Vic went downstairs just in time to find Lucas leaving. He look sad, maybe because of Sullivan? Since the conversation on the roof, Vic knew how important Sullivan was to him.
"Hey," Vic said and when he turned around, she jumped into his arms.
"Hey." Lucky Lucas has good reflexes so he managed to catch her in time. "Victoria we're at work."
"Why did not you tell me?" Vic questioned and Lucas raised an eyebrow. " About your birthday."
"Oh, it's not important." He shrugged.
"Of course it is." She smiled and pulled him closer, putting her arms around his neck, her lips brushing his affectionately. "I hope you like your gift." She winked at him and he couldn't help but smile.
His day was definitely better now.
—"Oh, Lucas? He turned again to look at her. "Happy birthday." Vic kissed his cheek.
Lucas walked out of the station and Vic stood at the front desk with a smile on her face, she had something in mind for his birthday.
When she turned to go back to the kitchen she saw Montgomery at the top of the stairs with his hands covering his mouth and eyes wide, Vic's smile instantly disappeared.
"Are you dating the chief" He said practically screaming.
"Do you want to speak more quietly?" Vic said looking around to make sure no one else was listening.
Montgomery hurried down the stairs staying in front of her.
"Are you dating the Chief Victoria Emily Hughes?"
Vic opened her mouth several times to try to say something but she just couldn't.
"Yes," she said almost in a whisper, and Montgomery had to strain to hear her voice.
"How long?"
"3 weeks." Vic let out a sigh.
"How were you able to keep a secret all this time?" he asked in amazement.
Vic smiled. "I think he's becoming very important to me, so I made it."
"I'm proud of you, but now can we talk about how hot he is? You're a lucky girl."
"Travis." Vic let out a laugh and punched his best friend in the arm.Vic bought him a small cake, she didn't know if he would like it, she didn't know if what they were doing was just sex for him because it definitely wasn't for her.
Lucas was becoming very important to her in a short time, Vic was falling in love and it scared her, she had never been in a serious relationship before what if he thought she was too immature?
Vic shook her head away from those thoughts, she put on her best lingerie and covered it with her robe. That would be Lucas' gift.
He knocked on her door half an hour later, Vic took a deep breath before opening it.
"Wow." Lucas glanced over her body and Vic bit her lip. "I'm sorry." He realized what he'd just done and apologized.
"It's okay, this is your gift." Vic opened the robe to reveal her red lace lingerie, Lucas closed the door behind him and kissed her desperately.
"I loved my gift."
Lucas picked her up and carried her to the couch, Vic let out an amused laugh, Lucas loved feeling her breasts against his chest. He laid her down on the couch carefully.
"You are so beautiful Victoria."
"You're not bad either." She let out a nasal laugh and he went back to kissing her.They were lying on the couch after they had sex, Vic was lying on top of him with her head lying on his chest feeling his heart pound as he played with her curls.
"I bought you a cake," she said shyly, tracing circles on his chest.
"You didn't have to." He smiled.
"Let's go." Vic got up from the couch pulling him with her.
She put on his white shirt leaving the first buttons open, Lucas wore only his pants.
"I'm going to be shirtless is that it?" He smiled playfully.
"Um…yes," she laughed, wrapping her arms around Lucas' neck.
"She looks so much better on you." He gave her a quick kiss on the mouth.
"It looks so much better on you." He gave her a quick kiss on the mouth.
Vic walked away from him, opened the fridge and took out the cake, she placed a candle on top of the cake and lit it.
Lucas sat in the chair in front and Vic sat on his lap.
" Make a wish." Vic said excitedly.
Lucas blew out the candle and smiled, Vic wished she could spend more birthdays with him, she didn't know he had wished the same thing.
