For a moment their eyes locked together, but they didn't kiss. Though she wanted a taste of him one more time, before work this wasn't the most appropriate time to do so. Once inside Kat was criticizing Scotty over his beard which made him more self conscious about himself.
"What's up with you sporting that Armadillo look" asked Jefferies as he grinned to himself. Being the type that watched only sports or dumb drama, he hadn't had a clue to what the older man had been speaking about.
However Lilly didn't focus her attention on the fact her partner, had a serial killer look to him. She came here to give her victims a voice, but was finally glad that there was now a break in the case. While informing John about the boyfriend of the victims on his whereabouts, she couldn't help but to feel a certain type of sexiness around him.
Being the fact that Lilly was in a work environment, her eyes remained glued to the paper instead of on John whom her heart now truly loved. Instead she informed him and left, while tapping Scotty on the shoulder as the two left to interview the former boyfriend.
Once in the car, Scotty glanced over seeing that his partner was acting very differently lately" Who's the guy Lil"?
"Don't have one" she replied, still keeping her relationship with John a secret. Not even Scotty would be able to pry this one out of Lilly for some time, but even he had wondered who was making his partner so happy and calm.
After coming back with absolutely nothing, Lilly was filled with stress and determination to catch this killer. By 7pm, John came out of his office noticing how hard his girl had been working. For years now he had seen this but even she needed to go home and let her mind refresh a bit.
He then moved closer" Work on it tomorrow, can't stay here all night".
Much to his surprise, Lilly then stood up "I'm not, getting tired" while cranking out the stiffness in her neck. The two continued walking, as John felt the rain beginning to come down. This time he let Lilly back to his place, taking off her coat. Without a single word his hands began to massage her back, working out the knots that were causing her pain.
Lilly moaned softly before John led her into his bedroom, which was modest a clean. In fact she expected this coming from him, but was instructed to lay flat on her stomach. Using the lotion that he had just bought, John warmed it up in his hands before rubbing it all over Lilly's pale back.
"John" she whispered, enjoying this wonderful well needed back massage.
Much to her own surprise, he also massaged the back of her neck as well. She craved this so much, but now the stress from the case was going out of her head for now, that is. However after the massage he then ordered in some pizza as the two watched some TV together, Lilly liked the fact that this wasn't a rushed type of relationship
In fact both could act like themselves, with no judgments being passed. They were both far from being perfect, in relationship terms that is. Like in all relationships there were both ups and downs, but the two were trying to balance both out.
However Lilly still saw the shyness about John, regarding sex. She wanted to make him comfortable about it, but knew the more they were together; the more comforted he'd probably would feel later on. After eating several slices of pizza, she then snuggled closure to him while watching an episode of a crime show in Tru TV; very typical of John.
"How about we watch something that isn't crime related" speaking with a small smile.
John chuckled softly, before she flipped through the channels before settling for reality TV. Almost instantly he couldn't figure out what was going on, but noticed how Lilly was enjoying it. Wrapping his arms around her, he went with the flow until seeing that his girl was calm and content.
"She's got something to hide" pointing that the annoying blonde girl, yelling about something.
Lilly's lips formed into a smile" Can't you just watch it without, getting into their mind. I think sometimes you had forgotten about life in reality".
Sharing a laugh with her "Guess I don't get out much".
" You are with me" flashing that dazzling smile of hers" Just don't get into the mind's of the football players tomorrow night, leave work at the office".
John chuckled while taking a sip of his beer" Look who's talking" before seeing a pair of blue eyes looking right at him. Leaning over she then kissed him, until the commercials were over "Hand me that report of her in the morning" making him laugh even more.
Moments after she had left, John knew that Lilly was right. He rarely had a life or what he presumed to be one; instead he felt differently when she was around. Call it whatever you life, but tomorrow night he would keep his promise not to talk about work.
It was just their luck that the stadium for the Philly Eagles was crowded. This was supposed to be the biggest games of the season, making Lilly feel extremely lucky to be part of this. John had gotten great seats, which enabled both of them to see all the action. Around kickoff time, she too joined the crowd of excitement.
As the ball flew, Lilly cheered them on, letting her fun side experience happiness as well. Even John was immersed in this game, since he had a vast knowledge about sports. Throughout the whole entire game, the two were sitting closely together feeling the rush of wanting their team to win, even though she was merely a Giants fan secretly at heart.
However right by the end, the Eagles scored a touchdown which was too incredible for their team. As the team went ballistic with cheers, both Lilly and John shared a small tender kiss together. Maybe it was luck or merely fate but whatever it was the two knew that their love for each other was growing at a slow and loving pace.
Once in the car, they both were talking about the touchdown. Lilly was merely arguing over the fact that one of the players also lost the ball to the other team, but after ten minutes of bantering John let it go and became quiet.
"Say it, already" seeing how he remained silent.
John shook his head" Bring in the paper and we'll settle this" before they shared a small kiss. It had seemed to be the perfect end to a good night out.
However once back at her place, he took off his shirt exposing a white tank top, knowing that they were just going to sleep, and left it on before going underneath the silk sheets; before Lilly reemerged from the bathroom wearing a black lace negligee.
He watched how Lilly slinked across the room, before getting into bed. Leaning over she then kissed him "night".
"Night Lil" he whispered before watching his love falling asleep. Halfway through the night, Lilly somehow shifted onto his chest, and remained there until morning. By that time she awoke to find John still fast asleep in bed, to her he looked so peaceful yet at the same time handsome.
Glancing over at the clock, she knew that him being a captain of their squad he should have already been there. Leaning over Lilly gently started kissing him, trying her best to wake him up. With her sexiness sweeping over her, but knew that the two would be late if that indeed happened.
By the forth kiss, John awoke pulling her down for a couple more. His heart was beginning feel the love that was coming through from Lilly, in fact he welcomed it. After a few more, she broke away, before peering down into his eyes" So we are going to settle this"?
His smile warmed" Alright be secretive, just don't blame me when your late for work" as John got up, to kiss her once more before leaving.
Luckily, John had beaten Lilly to work, only to find out that he was incredibly early not late as she had told him. However just four minutes later she came in carrying two cups of coffee on a tray" Thought you might like some, along with this" waving a rolled up newspaper.
As Lilly opened it her eyes lit up" I was right" before John snatched it out of her hand. In fact she was very right" I could cook you dinner, tonight at my place".
"Sounds like a plan" she replied before starting her day, continued to solve this case.
