It was a late night at CNU. Matt, Emily, Lia, Duff, Frank and Cheryl all sat around a huge conference table searching through mounds of paperwork trying to get a lead on their latest case. Matt and Emily sat closer than usual and played footsie under the table. Their friends who were all intensely studying their own paperwork didn't notice, which was a good thing since no one new about their relationship yet. Cheryl looked up as the pizza delivery guy entered the room. She placed the three large pizzas in the center of the table. Matt grabbed a few cans of pop from the refrigerator and returned to his seat next to Emily.
Emily finished her first piece of cheese pizza and placed the uneaten crust on her plate as she reacehd or anotehr piece. Matt picked up the crust from her plate and and took a bite. This was when Frank saw him.
"Flannery, did you really just eat the crust from Emily's plate?"
"Yeah why?" Matt asked not sure why it was a big deal.
"Well it's got her saliva on it so it's kind of like kissing her." Frank replied smirking.
"Well, I guees it's better than eating after you. I wouldn't mind kissing her, but you, no way." Matt responded not noticing the blush increasing on Emily's cheeks.
"I don't know, Lehman's pretty smart. I don't think she'd let you kiss her." Frank replied as Duff began to chime in.
"I dare you Flannery, unless you don't have the guts." Duff added not noticing Emily sinking in her chair.
Matt leaned over and placed a quick kiss on Emily's lips. He blushed but she decided to give as good as she got. Emily reached up and grabbed Matt around the neck and pulled him into a passionate kiss. Before releasing him, Emily grinned and then laughed at the expressions on everyone else in the room's faces.
"Well, you said it was like kissing me, so I thought he should experience the real thing." She replied to the shocked room as she stood up and walked out.
