White Collar is not owned by me :(

Jamie had been staying over Neal's for the past week and only once had he had another nightmare. When she woke up Monday morning, she rolled over and saw Neal staring at her, "What?"

Neal smiled, "Nothing."

Jamie rolled her eyes and kissed Neal, then got out of bed. "I have to go, I have three sketches due tomorrow. I'll see you at lunch okay?"

Neal yawned and nodded, "See you soon."

Lunch...

Jamie walked into the restaurant and looked around for Peter and Neal. They must be late, Jamie thought as she looked around until she spotted a woman sitting at a table set for four. "Uh...hi, Elizabeth?"

El smiled, "You must be Jamie, its nice to finally meet you."

Jamie took a seat, "It's nice to finally meet you, too."

Jamie and El had just begun to get to know each other when Peter and Neal walked into the restaurant and looked around, their faces lighting up when they saw their dates.

Jamie blushed and El laughed, "Its something to get used to, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is...How long have you and Peter been married?"

"Eleven wonderful years. Its been a little nerve wracking sometimes being married to an FBI agent but as long as he comes home, I'm happy."

By then Peter and Neal had reached the table and Peter was kissing El on the cheek while Neal sat down next to Jamie, and quietly took her hand under the table. Jamie smiled at Neal and Neal smiled back. El and Peter watched this quietly, smiling at each other.

"So," Elizabeth started, "how's your case going?"

Neal groaned and Peter shook his head, "I'm running out of ideas, both Johns have seemingly disappeared in thin air. It might do some good to have Neal in the black market right now, but Astor's already seen Neal. If he see's Neal in the black market, he'll blow his cover and ruin the investigation."

"Peter that's why I need to get close to Astor's right hand man, I'll make it look like I'm a corrupt FBI agent who wants to make a little money on the side. It'll work Peter, my plans always do."

Peter nodded, "Okay, okay, we'll talk about this later, but now lets eat lunch with our girls."

When lunch was over, Jamie and El made plans to have lunch together later that week and Peter stood up to walk El to the car, "Five minutes Neal, and meet me outside."

Neal nodded and winked at Jamie. When Peter and El had left the restaurant, Jaime and Neal stood up and walked outside, leaning against the building.

Neal could tell something was up with Jamie, "Hey, what's wrong?"

Jamie looked up at Neal, "Have you ever been hurt undercover before?"

Neal saw the worry in Jamie's eyes and wanted to lie. He wanted so badly to lie and tell Jamie he's always come out unscathed but he's couldn't bring himself to do it. Neal sighed, "Yes...but its never been bad, a few scrapes, a couple cuts...Once I was drugged but that was over a year ago..." Neal added trying to put some humor in.

"Neal, don't you dare joke. I've only known you for a few weeks but..."

Neal pulled Jamie into a hug, "Hey, hey, I promise you, I will be fine. Before, I didn't really care if I got a little beat up, but now I do because I have something to come back to."

Jamie smiled and kissed Neal, "I had no idea you were such a sap."

Neal didn't answer, he just leaned in for another kiss.

"Okay lovebirds, break it up. Neal, we have work to do."

Neal sighed, "All right, all right, but we're allowed to have a kiss once in a while, I've had to watch you an El kiss all the time."

Peter rolled his eyes, "Whatever, you win, but Neal we really have to get back to work."

Neal opened his mouth in retort but Jamie spoke up, "Neal, Peter's serious, you have work to do." She kissed Neal on the cheek, "I'll see you tonight. Be good." Jamie walked away, looking back and waving when she got to the corner.

Peter looked at Neal, "You've fallen hard for this girl haven't you?

Neal ran his hand through his hair, "Yeah, I have. I've never felt exactly like this before...Was this how you felt when you were dating Elizabeth?"

Peter clapped Neal on the back, "Yeah buddy, it was."
