Disclaimer: I dont own anything expect the plot, although i wish i did!
Four weeks later Lori was back at work, she had missed it so much, even the paperwork which was the worst thing to do. In some sense Lori was looking forward to be part of the team again but in other ways she was petrified and had change a lot. She now had two very new scars and one very new boyfriend which no-one knew about. She told Steve a couple of days ago that she would spend the night at hers by herself and go into work like nothing was different, he wasn't sure about it but he promised Lori that he would do as she said. Lori stood in front of the mirror looking at her back; you could just about see the top of the scar above her vest top, but she didn't mind that, a war wound is meant to be shown, not be hidden she decided. As she was standing there she heard her phone go, she turned round to pick it up but couldn't find it. She started to hurry round the house trying to find it until she looked under her duvet covers and saw it.
"Lori speaking"
"So you do answer you phone" the voice said
"Well depends on who's calling" she answered back in a smart voice. She knew it was Steve but she enjoyed playing with him in these conversations.
"So I should just hang up"
"yeah can do" Lori replied
"Alright then" the phone then went silent and Lori laughed she put her phone backed down and walked back upstairs to do her hair. She walked into her bedroom and looking outside her window and saw the beach. The one thing Lori was going to miss about not being at home each day is lying on the beach with her music in and a drink next to her. As she walked back a pair of hands wrapped round her waist, she went into fight mode very quickly. She smacked the person in the face before pushing away and grabbing her gun and holding it to the back of the persons head.
"Lori stop it's me, Steve" he said whilst holding his cheek.
"Oh my gosh, Steve I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to"
"No Lori, it's my fault I shouldn't have grabbed you like that after everything you've been through" Steve looked at Lori and smiled with an apologetic look, "I could take some ice though"
"Oh of course," Lori took his hand and walked him downstairs to the couch.
"You sit there and don't move until I come back with the ice." Lori said while walking to her freezer "I mean it Steve," he sat there and didn't move an inch just like Lori said. He remember back to the night he came and got Lori when she had been shot, how he felt her for the first time and kissed her and felt like he had no control over himself, something that he had never sensed before. Lori still didn't know about that night, and Steve wasn't planning to tell her, well not yet.
"Where did you go off to" she asked, She put the frozen bag of peas, the best and closest thing to ice on his face, he winched because of the cold.
"Nowhere, you told me to stay here and I did"
"No your head was in a different place, what were you thinking of"
"You" He said with a smile
"Nice try but no, tell me"
"Well I was thinking about calling in sick with you today so I can just lay on the beach with you and your very small bikini"
"Well if you called in sick you will be laying on the beach by yourself. "
"Why where are you?"
"Have a guess."
"Um, shopping?" Steve said "No wait you do too much of that"
"Ha ha very funny, but no guess again"
"Out with the girls"
"No"
"Going rock climbing"
"No not without you"
"Good, I taught you well," Steve said with a smile "Tell me Lori"
"Fine then, I will." She turned to Steve "I'm back to work today remember"
"What no really, is that today?"
"Yes really"
"Are you sure, I thought it was another week"
"Very sure"
"How about you take a week off to doubly make sure"
"Steve I'm going back to work whether you like it or not, I know you just trying to protect me"
"I know, I hope that you would forget about work, I can't let you get hurt again "
"I'll be more careful, I promise."
"Well if you promise I guess we don't have a problem"
"Indeed we don't" She said with a smile "How's your cheek now, I don't think it will be that bad"
"It feels a bit better now, but you have a damn good right hook on you"
"I know" She said with a smile, Steve looked at her and smiled, she was one weird, crazy but sexy girl and most importantly his girl.
"Oh shit," Lori shouted
"What?" Steve asked
"We're late" Lori said while trying to grab up her things.
"Slow down Lori, don't worry about the rest, they'll be fine with you being a bit late"
"Yeah but what about you, you're usually 30 minutes early"
"I'll just say I came to pick you up"
"Ok, yeah that will work"
"I know" Steve said with a smile. They both just stood there looking at each other.
"Should we be going?" Lori asked
"Yeah, but before we go you have two thing to do"
"What are they?" She asked impatiently
"One put these peas back into the freezer" Steve gave Lori the back; she walked to her freezer put them in and walked back.
"What's the second thing?"
"Well two, give me a kiss"
"I can do that"
"Good" Lori leaned into Steve and kissed him on the cheek she didn't hit, looked at him in the most sexy way. She picked up her handbag and walked out to his car. Steve just stood there in amazement. He got into his car and looked at Lori.
"What was that?"
"You said give me a kiss and I did, you didn't say where!"
"Oh Lori you're playing a dangerous game"
"I know and I'm winning" She said with a smirk on her face.
