They stopped by Alex's place before returning the car to Lewis. She was going to need clothes for work. Just to be on the safe side Alex packed clothes for Saturday as well. While gathering what she needed from the bathroom, Bobby called to her from the living room.

"Honey, did you want to take any of your movies? I don't know if I have anything that you like."

"I think you'd be surprised at what I like." She said as she came into the room with her overnight bag and a garment bag that held 3 of her work outfits.

"Well you like me, so maybe I wouldn't be surprised after all."

"I never said that I liked you." Alex said with a mischievous glint in her eye. Unfortunately Bobby wasn't looking at her when she said it and took it the wrong way.

"My mistake then, maybe I should just go."

"Wait…What?" Alex had to hurry to cut him off before he walked out of the door. "Bobby, where are you going?"

Bobby looked at her and saw confusion and hurt in her eyes. "I jumped on the paranoid express again didn't I?" He said as he reached out to pull her into his arms.

"You tell me, because I don't have a clue what happened this time."

"You said you didn't like me and…"

"I don't all the time, but I was trying to be funny." Alex stepped back, took his hand and led him over to the couch. Once they were sitting facing each other she placed one hand on his cheek and took hold of his hand with the other.

"Bobby, there have always been times when you have aggravated me personally and professionally. I would think that you could say the same." Bobby nodded. "There have been times and I am sure there will be again, that I don't like what you do or how you act. The one thing that you have to remember is that, no matter what, I'll always love you."

Bobby sighed, "I'm sorry, I seem to be saying that a lot lately but bear with me, and I'll try to do better."

Alex scooted a little closer and leaned in to kiss him. As their kiss grew more passionate she moved to straddle his lap. Their hands started wandering. Bobby's mouth left Alex's and traveled along her jaw to her neck. Alex thought she would explode right then. She had waited so long to touch and be touched by this man.

"Bobby, you have no idea" She said huskily.

He chuckled, "Uh, I think I do," as he started sucking on her earlobe.

Alex grabbed his face and pulled his mouth back to hers and started trying to undo his shirt buttons. Bobby stilled her hands with his as he ended the kiss.

"Alex, Honey, we need to get Lewis's car back to him tonight."

She pulled one of her hands out of his and used it to twirl the hair right behind his ear. "There's always after." She practically purred it.

"You're not using your head Honey."

"It's not mine I want to use."

"You're killing me here." He groaned. She had started nibbling on his neck. Even though they still had all their clothes on, with her sitting astride him right now he was in danger of having an orgasm like a randy teenager. One positive thing about their size difference was that he could easily lift her. He lifted her and put her back on the couch.

"Bobby, I liked where I was." She complained.

"So did I Honey, but listen to me for a minute, please" He begged.

Alex closed her eyes and focused on taking some deep breaths. When she had herself back under control, she opened her eyes to look at him again.

"OK Bobby, what did you want to say?"

"We need to get Lewis's car back to him."

"You said that already."

"Alex, if we don't stop now, we won't be leaving this house before morning." She didn't say anything to that but just raised her eyebrow at him. "Besides the fact that Lewis would freak if his car isn't back tonight, you wanted to stay at my place so we could stay in bed longer in the morning right?"

"Yeah" She could see where this was leading and she knew he was right. "And if we stay here, not only would have to be up earlier to get to work, we would also have to leave early enough to take the car to Lewis's and stop at your place so you can change for work. I assume that is the point you're trying to make."

"I think that about sums it up."

Alex got up and grabbed her bags. "Well come on then, get your rear in gear and let's go," she said as she headed for the door. Bobby was still grinning when they got in the car.

When they pulled up to Lewis's, he came running out. "It's about time you brought her back"

"Why Lewis, I didn't know you cared." As Alex said this she winked at Bobby.

"What?"

"Never mind Lewis, Alex is just playing with your head."

"That's no the he…" She was cut off by Bobby's hand over her mouth.

"So Detective Alex, how did she handle for you?"

"That is one sweet ride Lewis. I haven't driven anything like it since my wild youth."

"You wild, I would have like to seen that. I can't imagine sweet little Detective Alex wild. Can you Bobby?"

"I'll take the 5th on that one." Alex punched him in the arm. "What?" He said laughing and she punched him again.

"So you guys want to come in and have a couple of beers?"

Just then Alex's phone rang. When she looked at the display she said "Crap". She answered it even though she really wanted to throw it in the trash. "Eames…Yes sir…No sir…I'll tell him." Both Bobby and Lewis had been watching her as she talked, Lewis with curiosity and Bobby with dread.

"Sorry Lewis we can't stay." Turning to Bobby she said, "We got a body"

"Of course we do, see you Lewis"

Once they were in the SUV and on the way to the scene, Bobby said. "I take it that was Ross on the phone."

"Who else"

"I am surprised my phone didn't ring afterwards."

"He guessed that we were together."

"Together together or just together?"

"I'm not sure, and I don't think I want to know. And before you go jumping on that paranoid express again, I just mean this is so new, I mean not my feelings, but the together part, I just don't want to share it with all the bozo's on the job, not that you're a bozo, but everyone else, Ross included. And we really don't know what the professional ramifications are yet."

"Eames! Take a breath, you're rambling. I think maybe the paranoid express pulled into your station this time."

"You think I'm paranoid about you being paranoid?"

"Do you have any idea how paranoid that sounds?"

They were laughing when they pulled up to the crime scene. Looking at the mass of police cars, fire trucks and news vans, they knew it was going to be a long night. Bobby reached over and took Alex's hand before she could get out. "I love you"

"I love you too Ace."

"Ace?"

"Yeah, you know, the top, the best. Besides I can use it on the job and nobody's the wiser."

With that they got out and got to work.
