If you could call it love

A.J. sighed, leaning her head back against the cold hard metal of her car in the parking lot. Her eyes closed tightly and then were quickly opened again. Flames burst from out of no where...
A.J. woke startled by the loud thumping on the lab door. A sticky note clung onto her cheek as she looked around groggy. It was two in the morning. Damn…I didn't go home, did I…She ruffled her hair and lumbered over to the glass door. Eric was laughing as she opened it with a sleepy look pasted onto her face. He slipped the note off her cheek and wheeled her into a chair.

"Got you some coffee." Eric smiled.

A.J. for the first time today, gave Eric a warm and thankful smile. She took the cup and sipped the warm liquid.

"So I heard from Calliegh that you found another weapon and possibly another murderer." A.J. said, getting back to business.

Eric nodded, showing her the photos and the suspects.

"Hmm I bet it's her." A.J. joked and pointed at a rich, snobbish looking woman. "She looks the stupid blonde type to just throw a knife at a bush, hoping that we wouldn't find it."

"Well we can't judge a dumb blonde by how she looks; let's check the data base for any records and how she links to our victim."

A.J. scanned the screen with red eyes. She blinked as her vision came blurry and rubbed the corners. Sure the coffee helped her, a little, but she hadn't even eaten yet. Making sure Eric wasn't looking; she rubbed her stomach, trying to quiet the growling annoyance.

"Found it," she said in slurred words. "Her name is Sarah McKlinski, and look." A.J. sat bolt straight, a relief in her back, "her DNA matches our Vic."

"She's our Vic's daughter…well this links quite nicely. Good job." Eric squeezed A.J.'s aching shoulder.
She bit her lip and nodded.

"Go get some rest, I'll tell the next team to do the paper work, you earned it Hart."

"Thanks." She smiled.

When Eric left the lab, A.J. walked around the table to shut off any important documents and to lock up the glass door. She grabbed her jacket and bumped into a stony chest. OH NO! NOT THE COFFEE!

Warm, large hands gripped her hand that was over the warm liquid. The other was around her waist. A.J. couldn't help but blush, a little. She could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks now. Could he feel the heat radiating from my skin? She thought. She slowly looked at the handsome face of Wolfe. His eyebrows stitched together as always and his captivating hazel eyes locked with A.J.'s green gems.

"You look starved." Wolfe managed to say.

"Famished."

"Would you like some breakfast?"

"I-I'd like that, thank you."
The two stayed in the embrace for two more seconds before stuttering and mumbling, fidgeting with hair. And the slightly crushed coffee cup.

The diner was open early. Fortunately. A.J. ordered almost everything from the menu once she was seated. Wolfe just ordered a bagel.

A.J. wanted to ask if he was on a weird feminine diet as a joke, but thought better of it.

The smell of omelets, bacon and toast perked her right; she ordered a new brew of coffee and sipped her third happily.

Wolfe finished his bagel—half heartedly—and watched A.J. wolf down her triple dish.

"Wow…"

A.J. looked at Wolfe with a what? –look and put down her fork and knife.

"No, no…continue, I just never seen any one eat so, so…fast." He saved his life with the last word.

A.J. just gave a suspicious hmm and continued to sip her brew. Every so often glancing back up at Wolfe. Why do I always catch myself in these moments? With him?!

Munching away the last piece of toast she leaned back and sighed. Totally satisfied.

Wolfe swallowed hard. The lovely bare throat seemed welcoming, as he watched A.J. lean back after her meal. Then it hit him. How could I've been SO blind? Calliegh, Eric, Alexx and even Horatio seemed to have handed him a hint, nudge or a whisper. He liked her. Why hasn't it occurred to me before?

Feeling all his thoughts just float away, he leaned closer to A.J., he never been so closed to her before…her scent, her bare neck, and her hair, it seemed suddenly wonderful. His macho seemed, to just…abandon him…he could feel her heat of her skin on him now, every square inch…as he leaned closer…
