So Sorry for the late update but i wasn't sure if i was going to continue anyway thank you for all the lovely comments keep letting me know what you would like to happen. xx
Amy sighed as she flipped the page from Mr Felix Longford to Mr and Miss Mason, looking up at her night stand clock 4 long hours had past since she and Jake had started studying the profiles.
Oh god. She thought. 4 hours and she was only up to M. Amy enjoyed Studying Like no other it meant that she could break out her cool highlighters and sticky notes of all kinds of colors but this was getting a bit too much for even her.
Amy looked over at Jake who had taken up a new position of lying flat against the ground face up with his legs up on a chair so that it looked like he had just fallen off the chair and could't be bothered to get back up.
his binder to his right and he keep mumbling the names and traits of each guest under his breath with a scrunched up forehead in concentration every so often he would glance at the binder to see if he was right, sigh and then turn the page to the next and begin on the next guest.
Jake always looked so much older when he was concentrating Amy thought so serious, the wrinkles around his normally goofy smile replaced with lines of focus and attention,
It was always odd to see this look on Jake's face even though she had seen it a millions times before from working opposite him at work it still evoked an odd feeling in her.
Amy blinked herself out of her thoughts and back to her binder, Thank god he didn't see her staring at him Amy thought, she would never hear the end of it.
"Ok, I'm done." she heard no less than a minute later from Jake's position
"it's 1 pm and I'm hungry." He said standing up and stretching out his arms and neck.
"well then go and get food." Amy said in a obvious dull tone, not looking up from her book.
"Oh no, your coming too, Amy." Said Jake walking over to her bed. "you need a break too, OK?"
"No Jake honestly I'm fine." Amy said waving her hand in an I'm fine gesture.
"I'm just going to do a bit more and then I'll have a break."
"Amy" Jake sighed "Come on you always say that and you never do."
Amy looked up at Jake "No I don't."
Jake raised his eyebrows with his arms crossed
"Come on, I'm not arguing with you." Jake said as he suddenly grabbed Amy by her upper arms and pulled her off the bed to a standing position.
"JAKE!" Amy squealed as her pens and binder fell off the bed in a mess.
"Look at the mess you made." Amy sighed looking devastated
"Santiago relax..." Jake said his voice loud in Amy's ear
Amy turned her head to face Jake, both of them only now realizing how close they were to each other.
"...It's fine." Jake said quickly finishing his sentence then stepping back from Amy letting go of her arm.
Jake looked down at the ground before looking back up at Amy with his trade mark smirk
"Come on Santiago my shout." he said before making his way to the door and holding it open for her
"fine." Amy said before walking over to her bedside table to get her wallet. It didn't matter that Jake said he would pay Amy knew that One way or another she would end up paying for something, Amy thought before leading both of them out of the hotel door.
...
*at local cafe*
Amy finally closed her eyes and let her chin rest on her hands, elbows popped up on the table. It had taken about 15 minutes for her and Jake to find an appropriate cafe to go too
as Amy refused to eat from some fast food chain, She was over crappy food and just wanted a real healthy meal to eat for once.
"Honestly Amy elbows off the table, didn't your Mother ever tell you it was rude to lean." She heard Jake say as he said down at the table.
Amy grunted eye's still shut, she begrudgingly slouched off the table and opened her eyes to lean back in her chair and stare at her partner. Jake just gave her a look
"Oh Amy your life is so hard."
"Shut it Peralta."
Jake smiled as a young waitress with the name tag of KATE came around with their food, Amy immediately sat up straight
"One Caesar Salad." she said as she placed it in front of Amy,
"And one beef toasted Turkish." she said smiling putting Jake's food down
"Thank you, Kate" said Jake showing off his winning smile
The waitress checks bright red she giggled like a school girl before quickly walking off.
"Oh god, please don't tell me I have to sit though a whole lunch of you and the waitress making eyes at each other."
Amy said before picking up her fork and driving into her salad not needing a reply
"what, what are you talking about" Jake said
Amy just raised her eyebrows
"Oh come on that waitress is way too young she probably like 19 or something give me some credit, oh I see your just jealous of all the attention I'm getting"
Amy made a vomiting gesture just before the same waitress came back with there drinks.
"Umm here's your um water and coke." she said seating them down
"Thanks" Jake said looking up
"Your welcome." the waitress said but she didn't move away this time.
Jake gave Amy a unsure look, who just stared at Jake.
"Yeahhh soo thanks for the drinks." Jake said in a tone that Amy recognized as "thanks but this conversation is finished"
Kate however didn't seem to pick it up and replied
"No problem." still smiling
Jake's eyes shot to Amy in a help me sort of way. Amy smiled victorious she just began eating like nothing was wrong enjoying the entertainment
"so where are you from" said Kate
"oh you know here and there" Jake said turning his focus to his sandwich hoping that she would leave
"ha ha omg your so funny" Kate said touching Jake's arm
Amy who had just bit into her food coughed loudly in laughter.
"thanks I guess." said Jake unsure "I really wasn't trying to be funny or anything." Jake laughed nervously
"hey so I don't mean to sound weird or creepy or anything." Kate said starting to ramble
"oh no" Amy thought she knew exactly where this way going she could see the terror on Jake's face.
"but um if your single, I was just wondering if maybe I could like have your number."
"ohh arr that's really sweet but arr I are no thanks I just... " Jake sputtered
"oh" Kate said disappointed
Amy suddenly felt Jake's foot kick her shin trying to get her help
"Owww" Amy sputtered out
Kate suddenly realized that Amy way there too took a step back
"omg is this your girlfriend."
"yes." "no." Jake and Amy answered simultaneously
they both looked at each other before Amy quickly spoke up
"Oh no Jake's not my boyfriend." Amy smiled
"he's my brother, and the reason he doesn't want your number is that he has a boyfriend, right Jake." Amy said smiling at Jake
Jake smiled tightly back "Yep that's it, I like...men."
"A boyfriend...Oh I am so sorry." Kate said
"yeah he's a big old softy this one, you should see his collection of Cher Albums and antique pots, right Jakey bear."
Kate frowned looking at Jake for confirmation that this was correct All Jake could do was give a tight nod before she quickly walked off embarrassed.
"Seriously Ames a Boyfriend?" Jake whispered across the table so that only Amy could hear
"hmm, what?" Amy said with a mouth full of food "I helped you out, you didn't want to go out with her did you?
"No but you could have just said that you were my girlfriend, would it really have been that hard."
"Probably not, but this was much more fun." Amy said taking another bite of her salad.
"Your evil Santiago." Jake said as he bit into his sandwich
"Call it payback for waking me up this morning with an air horn."
They both smiled before digging back into their meals.
By the time they had eventually got back to the Hotel It was past 3pm, Jake had made Amy stop for ice cream claiming that you can't go out for lunch without getting some kind of dessert.
"ahhh home sweet home." Jake said as he opened the door to their hotel room.
Amy sighed as she saw the mess of pens and highlighters on the ground next to her bed where she had left it. She walked over and began cleaning up the mess when she saw two extra hands helping her,
Amy looked up to see Peralta kneeing next to her picking up her pens
"What are you doing?" she said worried that he would suddenly start chucking the pens
"Well I'm helping you clean up the mess I made, I thought that was kind of obvious." he exclaimed
"But why are you helping, you never help me clean up the messes."
Jake just shrugged his shoulders and continued picking up highlighters
"God Santiago how many pens does one woman need." Jake said as he picked up the last highlighter and placed it on the bed with the rest of her stationary supplies.
"what I liked to be prepared." Amy said as she started organizing everything into color order
"come on we need to finish these profile before tonight." Amy continued
Jake grunted "noooo I don't want to, it's boring."
"you are such a child." Amy said shaking her head with her hands on her hips.
"I know you are but what am I." Jake said shoving Amy playfully with his shoulders
"WOW really." Amy said shoving Jake right back
"oh it is on." Jake said smiling shoving Amy but a lot harder this time so that she stumbled a little
"don't play little boy, I grew up with seven brother." Amy said pointing a finger at Jake
"oh yeah, challenge accepted!" Jake said before he went to shove Amy with all his might however Amy was to quick and dodged out of the way just in time Jake stumbled into the night stand
"HA to slow Peralta."
Jake suddenly turned and launched for Amy grabbing her wrists with his hands
"I'm sorry what was it you were saying." Jake smiled
They both struggled for control laughing until Amy fell to the ground taking Jake with her
he straddled her pinning her hands above her head Amy would never admit that she kind of liked being pinned down by Jake.
"Ha ha Peralta wins again! no man, women or creature are a match for my skill." Jake said letting go of Amy's arms to place his own triumphantly on his hips
Amy used this opportunity to punch Jake in the stomach just enough to wind him a bit before flipping them around so that she was now pinning Jake to the ground
straddling Jake with her knees on top of Jake's hands by his side so he could get up
"I'm sorry what was it you were saying." Amy said mimicking Jake comment from before.
"so Jake tell me what's it like to be pinned down by a women."
"well it definitely not the first time I've been in this position." Jake said giving Amy an yeah you know what I mean look.
"Ewww Peralta" Amy said quickly getting off Jake and sitting next to him
"HA" Jake exclaimed sitting up "I knew that would work."
"your disgusting."
"And you give in too easily."
Amy rolled her eyes they sat in a moment of comfortable silence before Amy checked her watch to see it was past 4 pm
"hey what time do we have leave for that party."
"oh probs about 5:30 ish." Jake said getting up to turn the tv on.
"ok well I'm going to get ready then."
"cool" Jake said slumping back onto his bed kick off his shoes "well I'm going to see if there are any good shows on."
Amy picked up her dress for tonight and made her way to the bathroom she faintly herd Jake say "Omg batman is on! yess." just before closing the bathroom door.
She smiled to herself he was such a child.
Amy looked at the clock again for the fourth time in 5 minutes
"Jake, come on you've been in the bathroom longer than I was."
"well now we know that just not true." she herd from the other side of the door
Amy straighten her dress once again checking herself in the mirror one last time just to be sure.
She was wearing one of her favorite dresses that she never got to wear because it was always just a little bit too dresses. it was a long sleeved black lace frock with a high neck line and was just tight enough to cling a little to her body but not so much that she felt uncomfortable, the dress fell just on her knees. her hair was pulled to her right side in soft curls and she wore nude heels that weren't very high in case she had to run after anyone for arrest.
"it's 6 o'clock Jake, come on. What could possible take this long anyway."
Jake opened the door to reveal himself in a stylish black suit with a white opened collared shirt.
"Wow, Amy you look great." Jake said his eyebrows raised and hands in his pockets
Amy blushed her hand subconsciously running through her hair "thanks Jake, you don't so bad yourself, but where's your tie."
"I'm not going to wear a tie."
"Jake." Amy said in a low tone her head slightly tilling to the side
"you've got to where a tie, this is a nice party not a fashion shoot all the men will be wearing ties."
Jake huffed "fine my tie's over there" Jake pointed to his bag.
Jake buttoned up his shirt while Amy grabbed the dark grey tie.
Amy walked back to Jake who had already flipped up his collar
"here I'll do it." Amy said "where already running late."
Amy quickly got to work on the tie which was hard since Jake was staring at her
After her second failed attempt she finally got angry
"stop that!"
"What?" Jake laughed "I'm not doing anything."
"yes you are, your staring at me it's distracting." Amy said angrily
Jake raised one eyebrows questionably 'I'm sorry I didn't realizes, My face was so distracting."
Amy felt Jake's breath on her neck as he spoke, she looked up at him only to lock eyes there something hypnotic about his eyes every time she stared into them she could never quite bring herself to look away.
suddenly there was thick tension in the air between them that wasn't there before.
Jake always had a way of making her feel so bare even now when she was all dressed up he looked right through her past all the makeup and heels.
Jake's eyes flicked down to her lips them back to her eyes and Amy inhaled deeply as if she couldn't breath probably.
God why did she feel so nervous in Jake's close presence and then he looked away the intensity in his Jake's eyes gone in a blink
"Just don't move" Amy said in a quite voice that put even herself off
Jake obeyed looking over her shoulder when Amy was finished she stepped away exhaling
they both stood still for moment not looking at each almost ashamed of how they had stared at each other.
They sometimes had moments like this over the years of working together and in the last few weeks they had become regular and regular but never like this.
"We'd better go." said Jake moving towards the door
Amy quickly followed
...
Jake pulled up to the house at 6:20 pm however Amy thought it looked more like a mansion then a house
"Wow" said Jake turning the engine off
"Holy crap, how much money does this guy make." said Amy
"I don't know but whatever job he has I want it." Jake smiled at Amy before they both got out of the car and walked towards the front door where streams of light and people's chatting emitted from.
"Ready darling" Jake said offering his left arm
Amy took it and straighten her posture.
"Here we go." Jake said as he put a smile on his face and they walked into the devils den
