Rachel giggled and got into the passenger side. They drove quietly as she gave directions on where to go. She grabbed his hand as it was resting on the armrest and held it as they drove. Chris finally began the conversation

"Told you I would come visit." He grinned

"Ha-ha very funny, it's for a case, doesn't count."

There was a red light, he leaned and kissed her quickly

"I'm pretty sure that it does. I am also pretty sure that I am not staying at Gibbs place tonight. I am coming home with you, you shouldn't be alone."

"you don't want to, I just moved, nothings set, it's horrible."

"Baby, I don't care, I just care if you are okay. And how often do you get to be wrapped in my arms huh?"

"I guess, we got to tell Gibbs though otherwise he might send a search party for you."

"I will take care of its sweetie, no problem"

They finally got to Rachels new apartment. Chris was the perfect gentleman and grabbed her door as he was calling to say that he was going to keep an eye on her. Gibbs and pride said okay but if she wanted more space to not push her. They got upstairs to her apartment and sat on the couch. Rachel had never felt so relieved to be sitting and home. And what made her feel a little better was she had Chris Lasalle wrapped around her. Was this a dream?

She woke up the next morning, happy, rested and still wrapped in Chris arms on the couch. They must've fallen asleep almost immediately. It wasn't a dream. She needed to get Chris up and going they had to get ready to go in the office. She decided to shower first. When she got out of the shower, she smelled food which was strange because she had no food in her house yet.

"Hungry?"

"Yes, of course: she said walking past kissing his cheek as she went by. "How'd you do this?"

"Well there are these things called keys, and a corner coffee shop." Chris said smiling and handing her coffee. "I don't know how you drink that stuff its awful."

"It's what Gibbs drinks, not that bad, thank you" she replied giving him a hug and another kiss. But we can't do all this cutesy crap in the office, we must be professional. Gibbs hates romances between partners."

"Alright, understood boss, let me shower and we will be ready to roll." Chris said kissing her softly as he headed to the shower.

It left her smiling. She really enjoyed her time with Lasalle. He was smart, charming, a gentleman and damn was he good looking. She got dressed and checked in with everyone while waiting on Lasalle. She got a call from Gibbs, there was another crime scene that they were heading too. Him and Pride would take that crime scene, so she should continue working point and head in with the team.
