Station 19 had been called to an occurrence, it was a small fire, no one had been hurt, but it had been enough to make Vic tired.
"I need a shower." She said to Montgomery as she jumped out of the truck.
"Is that the chief?" Gibson questioned pointing to the meeting room.
"Yes." Herrera replied. " but who is that woman?"
Vic turned her head in the same second to look at the meeting room. Her eyes widened when she saw Lucas, talking to a woman.
Vic tried to push the jealous thoughts out of her head, after all the woman was wearing a suit and she was probably there on business.
As soon as he saw the truck coming, Lucas left the meeting room and quickly went down the stairs being followed by the woman.
"19" he said greeting everyone present.
Chief". Sullivan replied.
"This is consultant Sarah Williams, she was hired by the government to help us cut costs." Lucas stated, looking around all the team members, but when his eyes met Vic's she looked away.
"Welcome to our station." Herrera was the first to step forward and greet the woman.
"Thank you." The consultant smiled back at Herrera.
Vic couldn't help but notice her, the consultant was really pretty, her eyes were a shade of light green, Miller and Gibson were completely enchanted by them. Her hair was incredibly straight and shiny, Vic was jealous not because she was pretty but because she was clearly hitting on Lucas and knowing that they were going to spend the day together made Vic freak out. Every time Sarah laughed looking at Lucas, Vic felt really bad.
Sarah, Lucas and Sullivan walked away to talk and everyone went back to their tasks except Travis who noticed something different about Vic.
"Are you okay? You look strange." He said removing his uniform.
"I am fine." She huffed, rubbing her eyes, but it was impossible to lie to Travis, he knew her better than anyone. "That woman was clearly hitting on Lucas."
"You are jealous?" he asked suppressing a laugh.
Vic huffed in response, packing the truck, looking away from Travis.
"Come on Vic I'm sure he only has eyes for you."
Vic stopped what she was doing by turning to him.
"I know, I'm being immature." She let out a small sigh.
"Of course not, why don't you talk to him? Maybe it will help you feel better."
"Yea, I'll do that, thanks."
Vic finished removing the rest of her equipment when her stomach growled she was hungry so she decided to head over to the beanery, she was halfway there when she saw Lucas leaving the meeting room holding a box of chocolates, just like Captain Herrera had bought for all of them.
"The captain gave you one too." she said making Lucas to turn to look at her.
His mouth curved into a smile as soon as he saw her.
"Yeah, you know I can't remember the last time I had a vacation." he said looking at the box in his hand.
"Serious?" she asked and he nodded.
" Are you okay?"
"Yes, why shouldn't I be?" Vic tried to force a smile that didn't go unnoticed by Lucas.
"Because I know you and I know you're not." Lucas said calmly.
"Fine." Vic let out a sigh. "I was jealous."
Lucas raised a confused eyebrow. "Jealous of what?"
"From the consultant." she said almost in a whisper and Lucas had to strain to hear.
"Oh Vic, I was only with her because we were working, there's no reason for you to be jealous." He took two steps to stand in front of her.
"I know, I'm sorry, I was immature." Vic lowered her head, keeping her eyes on the floor.
"It's okay, you weren't , I love you." Lucas lifted Vic's chin with his finger making her look straight into his eyes.
Vic felt her cheeks burn and a smile crept across her face quickly, those three words were definitely Vic's favorites.
"I love you too." she replied and Lucas looked around before bringing his hand up to her cheek and caressing it.
"You know we should go somewhere on vacation."
"How are we going to do it without anyone finding out, we're still a secret, forgot?" Vic said scratching the back of her head.
" I know." Lucas sighed.
"We can take a vacation in our head."
Lucas laughed. " We could go to Canada, what do you think?"
"Sorry, are you coming up with a snowy place when there are beaches and bikinis?"
"You look sexy in a snowsuit."
" Oh really? In my head you're shirtless all the time." she said getting close enough to him to feel his breath hit her face.
Lucas was looking directly at her lips, the moment the light fell, Vic took advantage of the situation to pull him by his coat and kiss him. He dropped the box of chocolates when he felt Victoria's lips on his, she pulled him until her back hit the wall and then her hands flew to his blond hair pulling him gently.
Lucas deepened the kiss holding Vic around the waist as his tongue stroked hers gently, Vic let out a soft moan against his mouth and at that moment the light returned Vic broke the kiss.
She smiled, satisfied with the kiss as Lucas watched her trying to reason what had just happened.Vic had just gotten back from a bad call, all she needed to do was lie in Lucas' arms and relax, luckily he was already lying in her bed when she arrived.
" Hey. " Lucas said taking his eyes off the book to greet her.
"Hey. " she replied without enthusiasm, Vic was exhausted.
"Long day?"
" Long night." She said taking off her pants.
Lucas pulled the covers off the bed so Vic could get inside, she finished taking off her pants and crawled into the bed next to him.
"I just want to sleep and think about our vacation." She said closing her eyes and getting ready for taking a nap.
Lucas smiled "I don't want to be the guy who has vacations and doesn't use them."
"Lucas, we can't go on vacation without revealing our secret and it's going to mess with our jobs." She paused thoughtfully before kissing him quickly. "forget."
"If that secret is what's holding us back, then maybe we shouldn't be a secret anymore."
"Are you serious?" Vic said turning her head to look at him as a smile formed on her lips.
" Yes."
