Sorry about this being late, just got very busy with work. I will be continuing to update this story, haven't lost interest in this one.
Though John was still working on the case, Lilly remained in her own hotel room; which she didn't share with him due to professional reasons. Aside from that she wasn't at all thrilled to be alone with a broken arm, feeling quite useless in the mix. It wasn't easy to do anything, but however Lilly didn't quite like reading through gossip magazines and tabloids while her squad was out there discovering newer clues.
By dusk, Lilly exhaled deeply as she lay back in bed watching some boring chick flick; while dining on room service. After shutting off the television, she threw the remote with the other hand. This wasn't at all like her to do that, but Lilly had quite enough of just sitting here completely bored out of her own mind.
Later on that night, as the steam was rising from the shower water fell upon the two. Keeping her eyes closed, Lilly felt his hands gently massaging her scalp mixed with a sweet smelling fragrance of shampoo. Though it wasn't good with a trash bag, wrapped tightly around her cast to prevent water from having any contract; she continued to relax and let John work his wonders on her.
Soon as his hands began running up and down on her chest, Lilly moaned softly enjoying the erotic sensation. Being here in the shower, brought forth a different experience; one that connected each and every bond.
Just moments after the soap had left her body; John continued to massage her back. He too felt the unbearably high of arousal; but wasn't quick in a rush to release it. Upon turning Lilly slightly, his lips then touched hers.
Without words, her eyes flickered open; displaying those blue eyes he loved so dearly. Now facing each other's nude bodies the two carefully studied one another; before Lilly then turned back around allowing his hands to wrap around her slender waist. His lips consumed every inch of her neck, while she continued moaning softly.
As the water turned off, John helped Lilly out before wrapping an extra large towel around her body. He then dried her hair to prevent any water from landing on the cast, before removing the garbage bag. Her eyes then alluding downward, as he soon caught on.
Soon the two were entwined underneath the sheets as breaths turned into pants, while they arms remained explorative. As another cloud burst, sprang out more snow outside; they bodies shook with pleasure mixing with love.
It wasn't until later that Lilly had looked over" What came over you" she asked romantically?
His smile was enough to tell her everything without words, as John leaned over kissing her lips a few times. As he got up, before they both redressed" Call you Tomorrow" he whispered before they stood in the doorway sharing a couple of goodnight kisses" Love you" came his final words for the night.
When the door shut, Lilly's heart did a triple beat as she soon had drifted off into a very deep sleep. As several days passed as the team proceeded to leave Maine, John had yet another idea. As he then pretended to get "lost", so that he could have more time with his love. There at a park the two walked through the snow before stopping.
Upon closing her eyes, Lilly sensed that either he was giving her something or that John was just simply going to kiss her. Upon opening them, her eyes widened in surprise seeing a multicolored gemstone bracelet around her left wrist; surely he was reading straight into her own thoughts.
"John" gazing at her bracelet, knowing that nobody had ever brought her anything quite like this. To her Lilly took the time to enjoy receiving this gift from someone she loved even more.
"I bought it for you, just after we had gotten together. This made me think of you" he said still trying not to be mushy about it.
Lilly smiled as she kissed his lips" Think we better head back, don't need rumors to swirl about us" before the two walked back to the car hand in hand.
For most of the trip, she had slept right through except to be greeted with Sports talk radio blaring from the speakers. Sure John was an avid sports fan but she couldn't complain; besides she too had a thing for sports as well. Her eyes then drifted shut, while Lilly then drifted back into a deep sleep not aware that John was still once again in heavy traffic.
As he then looked over at his sleeping angel, John couldn't help but to watch just how beautiful she looked while asleep. Her breathing was soft; as he gently moved away a tendril of hair from her face. Lilly did in fact have a beautiful one, but John didn't want to wake his beautiful girl up.
Though between gas stops, he took the liberty of getting her a hot cup of coffee; extra large. That automatically awoke Lilly as she gently sipped it.
"You sleep well" he asked.
"Not with this broken arm I'm not", but knew it wasn't forever. Besides at least John let her sleep without being interrupted. Her last boyfriend Joseph; would rouse her whenever a game was one. He too was another big sports fan, but louder and more annoying. Plus the fact he obsessed about her cats; unlike John whom steered clear of them.
Guess having one with one eye and the other with three legs, sort of kept him distant. Whatever it was Lilly wasn't one to complain, at least he didn't have this needy side to him. Her thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing, as usual John acted like a boss while speaking to one of the members of their squad; Vera whom seemed at all stumped by this case.
"I made sure he listens to Jefferies, not need him mucking things up".
Lilly smiled" Like the Chimayo job, I think he's still made about getting his tie clipped", making John looked over at her" So that's why his tie was taped to the door, any thoughts as to why"?
"Nope" she replied" Vera had to sit through a musical, something I'd wouldn't do".
John chuckled as he veered over into the other lane" Either would I, not into that" as their eyes locked briefly. She was just as amazed that he also hated Musicals" Good thing, one thing you aren't taking me is to a musical or a ballet; but I would love to go to another sports game".
"Just don't let Scotty hear you saying that".
She knew how her partner loved to brag and make fun" He's not going to let me down about this" motioning to her bracelet. Taking her hand, John continued holding it as he continued to drive them both back to Philly.
Upon arriving, he made sure that Lilly had gotten into her apartment safely before driving away. However John went back to his place to shower and change before heading down to headquarters, from there he had to put with interrogating several suspect and dealing with Vera once again mucking up the case.
In the midst, Scotty also had to be restrained after attempting to punch out a suspect. With all this one his plate; John was literally immersed in work. He barely had time to call Lilly and make sure that she was alright.
However she had returned home from getting another x-ray; her arm was in fact healing well but the cast had to remain on. This didn't brighten Lilly's day; but after not hearing from John all day she knew that he probably was too involved in the case. By nightfall, she sat there watching a random game on TV while eating out of an ice cream carton.
However she wasn't going to bug her love, understanding that they both have a commitment to their job. Lilly completely understood especially with this kind of case; either way she knew that the trip to Maine was well worth it.
A few days later; she snuck into headquarters after hours to find John still sitting in his office. He looked overly tired "Need some sleep".
"I'm fine".
A wryly smile came over her face" You sound like more like me, I'm serious John I'm worried about you".
Taking off his glasses he felt the need of sleep, going without it surely was wearing him down "Got my cup of coffee" as she then took it away" Come work can wait until tomorrow".
When John didn't budge she threw him his coat" Let's go, everyone else is probably sleeping. I'm not about to let you pull another all nighter".
"I let you do that all the time"?
She turned giving him that smile he adored" Don't do that anymore, got a life" before John followed her into the elevator" You saying I don't" before the two shared a small laugh.
"Your delirious" as they left headquarters. Surely Lilly had been right; as soon as John had come home he immediately hit the bed. By the time her arm was fully healed, their relationship grew even stronger and happier; except for a certain conversation regarding the shooting; which had proved that John's love for her was incredibly strong even back then.
