Hailey's pov

I most had been staring at him with a confused expression to long because his smile suddenly disappear and he looks a bit embarrassed.

-"We um meet a while back at a scene and I interviewed you after that" Jay explains thinking I forgot about him looking at me and I give him a small smile.

-"Yeah I remember Jay, sorry just didn't expect to see you here" I tell him and Jay smile returns and I gesture for him to sit down.

-"How have you been?" He asks me sitting down across me.

-"Hails, I order you a Pepsi, I hope that's..." Samantha says and she stops in the middle of the sentence when she sees Jay sitting across from me and she raises her eyebrow at me.

"Thanks Samatha, this is detective Jay Halstead, he interviewed me after the shooting, Jay this is Samatha she is my roommate and best friend" I say introducing them to each other, Samantha gives me a look , that tells me she is going to get to the bottom of this later.

-"It's nice to meet you" Samantha says to Jay and he nods and gives her a smile.

I take a sip of my Pepsi as the atmosphere at the table got a bit awkward. I look at Samatha and then at Jay and then try to think about something to break the awkward situation.

-"So how you been?" Jay asks me again breaking the awkward moment and I give him a grateful smile.

-"Good actually, did you guys that did it?" I asks him.

-"Yeah, you were a big reason we were able to nail them" Jay tells me and I smile and nod.

-"I didn't do much, but it's great that you caught them" I tell Jay and he reaches out and gives one of my hands a squeeze.

-"Hailey..., you were a big reason we caught them so you did a whole lot" Jay tells me looking directly at me and our eyes lock and I smile and then break eye contact and look down at the table blushing a bit.

-"Well I'm going to let you two go back to drinking your drinks again, but it's was good to see you Hailey" Jay says and he gets up and sends me and Samantha a smile before he joins his friends at another table. Samantha that I had almost forgot was there for a moment looks at me with a smile and curios look.

-"Soooo... what was that?" Samatha asks me looking at me.

-"Nothing Sam" I tell her breaking the eye contact with her to look around the bar and watch Jay interact with his friends.

-"Oh yeah, that wasn't nothing Hails..." Samatha tells me making me look at him.

-"What makes you say that?" I ask her and she just shakes her head at me with a smile on her face.

-"Hails, that wasn't just running in to some random cop that interviewed you a while ago, you two was so smiley and they way you looked at him and acted, you so like him" Samantha says smiling at me.

-"Sam... I barely know the guy..." I tell her and she chuckles and smile.

-"Well, that doesn't mean you don't like him" Samatha says smiling at me.

-"Alright...I like him..." I tell her and she squeals and smiles really big.

-"That's great Hails, it's been way too long since you been with someone, you deserve to be happy" Samatha tells me smiling at me.

-"Yeah yeah, doesn't mean he feels the same way or that something is going to happen though" I tell her looking behinds at the table where Jay is sitting with his friends.

-"He so likes you too... just go and talk to him" Samatha says getting my attention and she gestures towards his table.

"How do you know that?" I ask her curios to know.

-"Hails it's pretty obvious, first off he keeps looking this way and the way he acted when he was here, now go and get your man" She tells me encouraging me.

I sigh and take a couple of deep breaths and try to get control of my nerves before I get up and talk to him. I get up from my chair and smooth out my outfit and run a hand through my hair. I once again take a few deep breaths and then I walk towards the table where Jay is sitting. Everybody at the table looks up when they notice that I'm there and look at me quest lying but I only pay attention to Jay. He smiles when he notice me and our eyes meets and it's like everything else melts away and it's only me and him there.

-"Can I talk to you alone?" I ask Jay smiling.

-"Yeah, of course" Jay says getting up from his stool.

He gestures for me to follow him and we get out of the bar and outside in the warm and soon dark night. We sit down on a bench right outside the bar and Jay turns so he is facing me directly. I meet his gaze that looks a bit concerned and confused and I break our eye contact to look around the street. It's a really beautiful night, the sun is on the way down and the air is warm and the street lights makes the lighting perfect. It's actually all pretty romantic.

-"So what did you want to talk about?" Jay asks me breaking my train of thoughts and I look at him.

-"I...um..."I start trying to figure out how to tell him that I like him and would like to see him again.

-"Is everything okay? Has something happened?" Jay asks now looking worried and I sigh and run a hand through my hair.

-"Yeah everything is okay, this has nothing to do with me needing your help" I tell him looking down at my hands.

-"Alright..., then what's is this about?" He asks me looking really confused.

I again start looking around the street trying to figure out what to tell him. All kind of thoughts go through my head. Why did think this was a good idea? I was just going to making a foul of myself and embarrass myself. There was no way he was going to feel the same way, I should probably just come up with something else to tell him. But then I will never see him again and I would really like to see him again and get to know him better.

-"Hailey, you can tell me anything" Jay says interrupting my thoughts.

-"Yeah..., I was just wondering if maybe... you.. um.. would.. um.. like to.. um.. go out with me?" I ask him nervously looking down at the ground not having enough courage to see his reaction.

-"Hailey... I would love to go out with you" Jay says and I look up at him surprised and his eyes meet mine and I smile really big and feel myself start to blush.

-"Really?" I ask him smiling and he smiles and nods.

-"Yeah" Jay tells me and he reaches out and tucks some of my hair behind my ear and I smile and meet his green eyes.

He's eyes flickers between my lips and eyes and I find myself leaning in closer to him and his hand cups my check and brings me closer until our lips meet. I close my eyes and feel his lips move against mine and I feel butterflies start to raise in my stomach. Then he pulls away and smiles big at me and I return the smile. He leans over again and gives me a quick kiss. Then we pull away completely and he reaches for my hand and interviewers our hands.

-"So when can I take you out?" Jay asks me smiling at me.
