Morelli knelt down in front of her and said "nothing happened. He's just a dumb ass and doesn't know what he is doing." Pulling her into a hug he sighed then said "its nothing you did cupcake so don't beat yourself up for it." He kissed her cheek then her neck and gave a sly grin "I know what would cheer you up though."
Stephanie's eyes widened and her face went red with blush. She shoved Morelli away and stood up. Looking down at him she asked with anger starting to fill her voice "do you see what I'm going through?! I just lost someone I'm in love with and all you can think about right now is sex?!" she had expected this from him but she was now in a mood and couldn't stop herself. Stephanie knew he would suggest something like that but it still threw her off guard.
Morelli stood up and laughed a bit. "Cupcake that's all I ever think about." He then walked over to the upset Stephanie and hooked a single finger onto the collar of her shirt and said "now about that offer?" he shot her another grin as he peeked into her shirt and grinned wider in approval.
Stephanie felt her urge build up but ignored it and slapped his hand away. She gave him a good strong glare then said "get out. If you are only asking for sex then you can't be here." She started to shove him toward the door but wasn't really able to move him.
"Fine, fine, fine I won't ask anymore but I do want to make sure your alright. I'll order pizza." His last sentence was in a bribing tone and he knew he had her when she stepped aside to let him pass.
She shot him a look before getting the phone and handing it to him. Joe ordered a large pizza and they both sat down on the couch to watch a game like usual. Joe laid back and sighed happily as he said "just like the good old days…..but I like it better when I got you into bed." He grinned as he watched the game. Stephanie shot him a look then went back to watching the game also. She finally got into it when Joe asked "got any beer Steph.? " she nodded and already he was up and looking for the beer.
In a matter of minutes they had the pizza on the table and they were watching the game quietly. Stephanie was still upset but she had calmed down and Joe was just eating his pizza and drinking his beer happily. "bob misses you." He mumbled.
Stephanie laughed and said "I bet he does. Bob always misses me. I feed him real food not that crap you call food." Joe couldn't help but laugh along with her and shook his head as if he couldn't believe she said that.
After having a few laughs and finishing pizza and beer Joe left and Stephanie went to bed with a heart ache. She missed Ranger so much and couldn't believe he was gone. She wondered how her life was going to happen now that she was single once more and alone. Rex slept quietly on his hamster wheel and Stephanie couldn't help but smile at him. She quickly fell asleep and didn't dream that night.
