Don't own them, but I'm begining to wish

He woke up to the smell of lilacs and couldn't quite believe it, last night had been real. He really was waking up in Graces bed; no dream, no fantasy, No grace, wait what?! He sat up and realized the bed was empty and went into panic. He slipped into his work pants and wandered into the kitchen/dining/ area. She sat at the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal. As she smiled up at him, his worries quickly left.
'Good Morning'
'Morning, you hungry'
'Is that a trick question' she let out a laugh and walked into the kitchen.
'What would you like? Sorry but I haven't got the biggest selection'
'That's fine. Sit down I am capable of making my own breakfast'
She pouted sarcastically. 'If you say so'
He put two pieces of toast in the toaster and leaned against the kitchen bench. He really wasn't quite sure what to say next.
'Grace, um, Do you have plans for today'
'No what did you have in mind?' She stood up and rinsed her bowl in the sink. It amazed him how relaxed she seemed, was that his shirt!
'I have no idea, this wasn't exactly in my plans' She gave him a look 'You know what I mean'
She let out a light laugh. 'yeah, um how bout a movie then lunch'
They were standing on either sides of the kitchen now. Facing each other 'sounds good' He turned back to the bench to butter his toast She hated this, it was like he was going back to being insecure about them she didn't want that. She wrapped her hand around his waist and place a kiss on his cheek 'I'm going to have a shower the remotes on top of the TV if you want She watched his smile grow, that was better.
'Thanks' he turned his head just far enough to kiss her lightly before she walked of to the shower.

The movie was good some romantic comedy he couldn't care less about however she laughed right though it and that was good enough for him. Reality hit when they went to the cafe, a day of laughing and talking, changed. They'd only been seated 5 minutes when they saw a guy from work and had to leave. He drove around the corner just out of sight of the cafe and pulled up.
'What are we going to do'
'I don't know, It's not like I don't want to be with you it's just'
'The rules'
'yeah, I'm junior agent if people know that we're together then I'm the one who goes'
He rested his head against the steering wheel 'It's not right, as long as we keep it out of work I don't see how its any of the CBI busissness'
'You know why, the rule is there for a reason'
'So what do we do'
She took a deep breath and considered her options he was giving her an out if she wanted it. He asked her 3 times on the way home last night if she was sure. He didn't want her to be with him if she didn't want it. She sat in the car and exhaled this would be the last time he'd offer her an out she saw the way it hurt him each time.
'Maybe we keep it quite for a bit, just let it be our little secret'
'and later?' She could see him scared, worried she thought it was some fling 'We'll deal with later...later. Eventually we'll have to do something just not yet'
His mood picked up 'ok, well in that case I know a diner where everyone's a regular none of whom work at CBI'
'perfect lets get going'
