White Collar owns them, execpt Jamie, Jamie is mine :D

Thursday

"Neal, listen..."

"Hey Peter, how'd it go with Hughes?"

"Good, good, he agrees you should be allowed to date civilians like everyone else. I had Jones start running her through the system."

"Thanks Peter, this means a lot."

Friday

"Hey Diana..."

"Neal, what's up?"

"Look, I was just wondering how the background checks on Jamie Road were going?"

Diana smiled at Neal, "They're going well so far, she's come up clean, but we're not even half way through yet, so keep your fingers crossed."

"Thanks, will do."

Saturday

Neal was over Peter's going over a museum heist case when Peter's cell rang, "Its Jones, one second."

Peter left the room and Neal could hear Peter murmuring in the other room.

"Another Jasper Johns was just reported stolen, but this time from a private collection. We're meeting Diana and Jones there, come on."

Neal looked at Peter expectantly and Peter sighed, "The checks aren't done yet, Neal. They'll be done soon enough, I promise you, you'll be the first to know."

Sunday

Neal was anxious, Peter still hadn't called and Jamie was going to get there soon. Not that it really mattered, Jamie was going to find out who he was tonight, whether Peter gave him the okay or not.

Neal felt his phone vibrate with a text from Jamie, Just about to leave, see you soon! :)

Neal smiled and was just about to text a reply when Peter called.

Neal sighed with relief, "Peter, what's up?"

"Neal, I just got the results of Jamie's background checks."

"And...?"

"She's fine, you can tell her everything soon. Just bring her in after."

"Peter, thanks. I'll tell her tonight."

"Hey Neal?"

"Yes, Peter?"

"Were you going to tell her tonight one way or the other?"

"Yes, Peter, I was."

Peter sighed, "Okay Neal, be glad this happened or you might've been in trouble. Bring Jamie in tomorrow after lunch okay?"

Neal heard the doorbell rang, "Gotta go Peter, see you tomorrow, bye."

Neal opened the door slightly and hurried outside to the balcony.

"Neal?" Jamie called as she walked up to the door.

"The doors open, come outside!"

Jamie wandered in, "Hey," she said when she was standing next to him.

"The view's beautiful."

"Yeah, it is," Neal said, turning to look at Jamie.

He looked into her eyes for a minute before blurting out, "I lied to you."

Surprise replaced the small smile on Jamie's face, "Well, Neal, I got that when I walked into your 'apartment' and I didn't see a dog. Which didn't surprise me, by the way, you don't seem like a dog person."

Neal shook his head, "No, no, its not the dog part I mean, I mean the actually reason why I couldn't walk you all the way home."

"What?"

Neal raised his pant leg, "I couldn't walk you home because your house is outside my two mile radius."

"Neal..."

"I'm not a free man, I made a deal with the FBI and for four years I have to wear this anklet and consult on white collar cases for them."

"Neal I'm confused, why are you telling me this? Why are you blowing your cover for me?"

"I didn't want to have to lie to you," Neal said as he leaned in to kiss her.

AN: CLIFFHANGER! You guys probably hate me now because it took me A WEEK to update and all I came up with was a short chapter, and a cliffhanger. You're welcome ;) But honestly I'm sorry, it turns out I actually had a life outside of this computer :P and didn't have a chance to write almost all week. Also, this little part was hard, I knew what was going to happen, but fleshing it out was harder than I though :| BUT now that its out I'm glad and the next chapter will be longer, and better, I promise :) I'll have Chapter 5 up sooner than this one was! PLEASE R&R! Thanks! :D
