A/N: Here is a little bit more of Neesa. We made her a Forensics Technician at the CBI so that way, she and Cho can see each other at work, but since they are in different departments, they can date :)
Tales from the Mistletoe
Chapter 2-Cho
Cho and Neesa arrived at the CBI building and headed to their specific departments.
"I have a few reports to type up in the lab, so I'll see you later for the party." Neesa said.
She gave Cho a little wave before going downstairs to the Forensics Lab. On his own again, Cho made his way over to the Special Crimes Unit floor, which was looking extremely festive.
"When did we put up all of the decorations?" He asked as he observed the bullpen.
Jane, who was currently lounging on his couch, replied:
"Lisbon and I put everything up today. Personally, I think it looks rather good."
Cho went over to his desk and sat down.
"Yeah. Looks nice." Cho agreed. "Where is everyone?"
Jane sat up and stretched a little before answering.
"Van Pelt finished her work and went home to bake cookies for the party. I would presume that Rigsby joined her after finishing what he had to do." He explained. "Lisbon is in her office."
"Actually, I'm right here." Lisbon said as she approached Jane and Cho.
She walked over to Jane, took his hand and began to pull him toward her office.
"No sleeping! We're not finished decorating."
Cho rolled his eyes as he watched Lisbon drag Jane off to her office to finish making the SCU floor resemble the North Pole. I don't know who's worse; Rigsby and Van Pelt or Jane and Lisbon Cho thought to himself. Either way, he was glad that his good friends were finally acting on their obvious love for each other.
A few hours later…
Cho had completed his paperwork and a novel. Having no new book to read, he decided to head down to the Forensics Lab to find Neesa and then attend the Christmas party.
When he arrived in the Forensics Department, Cho found Neesa sitting at her desk, examining something through a microscope. Remembering the mistletoe that Neesa's aunt forced him to take, he pulled the piece out of his pocket and smile. He quietly came up behind Neesa, raised the mistletoe above her head and then leaned down to kiss her on the cheek. She turned around and smiled at him.
"Hi honey." She eyed the mistletoe that he was holding over them. "Where'd you get the mistletoe from?"
"Your aunt made me take some. She told me to hang some up at my house."
"I have no doubt that she did." Neesa said with a laugh.
"Ready to go?"
"I'm ready if you are."
Cho held out his hand and Neesa placed her hand in his. He said: "Alright then, let's go."
