Chapter Four
"Stevie.." he smiled as he pulled the front door open, stood in only a pair of black jeans and a grey vest she struggled to meet his gaze at first, until she remembered why she was there. "Who the hell do you think you are?" she stressed "Wha.." she cut in "You had no right to say anything to Callum.. I have felt guilty all day and came to make things up to you.. to find out you had turned me into station gossip..." he tried to speak but she cut him off "Have something special you said.." she cut him off as he tried to interupt "Yeah fucking right... you are just like every other man in the world.." he smiled "If you let me.." she cut in "I bet the two of you had a good laugh at me eh... telling him what Im like.. how you managed to convince me... make me look like a complete idiot" she shouted before turning away "Well fuck you Dale" she stressed as she made her way down the stone steps that lead up to his house. "Oi" he shouted as he flicked his front door onto the latch and jogged down the steps in only his socks to her side, he grabbed her wrist "Get off.." she stressed "Well shut up and fucking listen to me then" he began as she glared at him "I spoke to Callum yes... but not to poke fun at you.." he paused as she diverted her gaze "Im actually quite insulted that you think I would do that to you.. I told him I was upset because I finaly thought we were getting somewhere and you ran out on me.. and I dunno.." he smiled at her slightly "I dunno why I told him.. I spose I just wanted someone to talk to.. and I am sorry if I am such a monster Stevie.. but Im not made of Stone.. and I care about you and I was hurt and confused". She smiled up at him "I hurt you?" she asked. He nodded slightly "You dont have to look so happy about it..." he sighed as he took hold of her hand "After yesterday I really thought we were getting some where.. that we were going to go on a few dates.. have a bit of fun.. and settle down" he glanced down "If that wasnt what you wanted you should of said from the start". She smiled "It is". He glanced up at her "What?". She nodded "It is what I want Smithy... I didnt walk out because it wasnt.. I left because I was frightened... and you intimidate me Smithy.. I guess I thought.. I dunno that you would wake up this morning having seen sense.. and chuck me out". He laughed "I want you more than I have ever wanted anybody in my life.. you are the best thing that has ever happened to me". She nodded slightly "So if I want you... and you want me.." she paused as she stepped into his body futher "Maybe we should go inside". He nodded "Yeah before my bloody toes fall off" he grinned gesturing to his feet as he hoped from one foot to the other.
Back inside his house he pushed the door closed and smiled at the small blonde "You want a drink.. I can make a tea or coffee or whatever you want?". She grinned "Hot chocolate?". He smiled as he gestured into the living room "Corse.. make yourself at home.. I will be back" he made his way through to the kitchen and she headed into the living room and over towards his sofa. She stared at the Tv as Top Gear was paused and she lifted the sky remote into her hand and began to flick through the other channels. "Ah now we are gunna have to work on this.." he smiled as he sunk down next to her, placing her drink to the coffee table infront of them "I am in charge of the TV.." she turned and smiled to him "Dale Smith you really need to learn to share your toys" she pulled the remote back as he grabbed for it. "Stevie..." he laughed as he grabbed once again, she fell back againt the sofa and he lent into her lips, kissing her gently at first until they relaxed into it. She dropped the remote to the floor as her arms wrapped round his shoulders and his gripped onto her hips. His tounge slowly massaged hers and the two were getting more and more lost in each other until she pulled back from him "Shall we.." she gestured to the door and he smiled "Im happy here.." he dropped his lips back down to hers before moving onto her neck. "Smithy..." she panted after a few more moments "Please.. lets go to the bedroom" she smiled and he nodded slightly "If thats what you want" he grinned before he pushed to his feet and pulled her up in one swift movement and led her towards his bedroom.
A few days past and the news of their relationship had spread like wildfire despite her best attempts to keep it quiet. She wasnt sure now why she had been so worried, everyone was being so nice and congratulating her, making her feel special and telling her what a lovely man Smithy was but then to be perfectly honest she already knew that. Feeling his hands wrap round her slim body as she stood at the coffee machine she smiled "I am working Inspector Smith" she smiled. He lent gently into her ear "And Im Brad Pitt..." he paused as she turned to him "You dont know the meaning of the word" he lent into her lips and placed a gentle kiss, the two jumped apart and the voice behind them "Sorry Gov.." he turned back to face Ben and she turned back to the two men. "I wondered if you were putting in for the party tomorrow night?" he asked and Smithy nodded as he dug into his pocket slightly "'Ere, twenty do ya?" he asked and Ben nodded "Thanks Gov". He turned back to Stevie "Its New years eve tomorrow Stevie.. and I want you to come to the party with me.." he gestured to where Ben had walked to as he spoke and she smiled "I dunno.. maybe.." she smiled as she took a sip of her drink. He moved forward and gently kissed her shoulder "Now.. I know you want to boggie the night away.. so get dressed up.. let me take you out and spoil you..." he placed a quick kiss to her lips "And when we get home we can work on getting you naked again" he smiled. In the last week, she had managed to let him see her with only a towel on, which was a big step in her eyes and he knew that. She smiled "Ok.. you have your self a deal Mr Smith... now bugger off so I can drink me coffee in peace". He grinned "Yes Boss" he kissed her once more as he turned away he flashed her a quick smile before walking into his office.
Arriving at Stevies flat about seven thirty he grinned as she pulled the door open in only a towel "You wearing that to the party DS Moss?" he smiled before leaning gently down into her lips. "What do you reckon Inspector Smith". She led him into her living room and smiled "I will be back in five minutes.. make yourself at home Smithy". She disapeared from sight and he made his way slowly round her living room, lifting photos from shelves, looking at her laughing at the camera, with all the confidence in the world, in many surronded by men, that he didnt know, some with a young blonde woman who looked similar to Stevie, who he asumed was her sister. A few with him and other colleagues from Sunhill. Although it wasnt the first time he had been to her flat, it was the first time he had a chance to have a look around. "Having a good nose" she smiled from the door way and he spun to face her "Im sorry.. I er..." he waved the photo before placing it back to the shelf. She moved to the photo and lifted it into her hand "You have nothing to worry about..." she smiled placing it back, the photo was her with three men, two of which had their arms wrapped round her body. "Im not" he replied and she smiled up at him and he suddenley noticed how beautiful she looked, with a cream top and black jeans, high black shoes and a wrap round her shoulders, he lent in and placed a gentle kiss to her cheek "You look beautiful Stevie". She smiled "Thank you". He gestured to the door "You ready?" she smiled "Yep.." noticing him glance over the photo again as she turned to the door she sighed and lifted it into her hand "Smithy.. you said.." he interupted "I know.. but you make out you are so shy yet... you are surronded by all these men.. and you are always so confident". She smiled slightly "These are my cousins" she pointed to another "My brother-in-law and this one.." she pointed to another "I went to school with him.. he is married with kids.." she placed the photo back to the shelf "And here was me thinking I was the insecure one". He sighed "Im not insecure Stevie.. I just.. I like you a lot and.. I dont want to compete". She laughed "Smithy its a competion you would win hands down... now are we going to this party or do you want to know the ins and outs of my whole life?" she asked and he moved gently into her lips "Yeah.. I do.. but I have the rest of my life to learn about you".
Arriving at the party Smithy shook a few of the normaly uniformed officers hands, speaking to most the people they past, she was surprised when she realised she didnt know everyone, Sunhill was quite a close group of people and she only reconised the usual suspects and no one from CID was any where in sight, all except Mickey who was propping up the bar. Smithy smiled down at her as he led her to the bar "You ok?" he asked and she nodded "I dont know hardly anyone.." he nodded "Unfortuntly.. the party is joint with Barton Street.. and its uniform only.." she gestured to Mickey "But..". Smithy interupted "Yeah I know... I dont think Mickey has ever turned down a free bar.. he has gate crashed". She smiled as she pushed up into his lips and placed a gentle kiss "Well thats lucky for you.. cause I can go and help him drink his body weight in beer while you snob it up with the other top brass.." she took the beer he was holding in his hand and he placed his hand gently to her cheek "I think the world of you.. you know that dont you.." he kissed her lips gently and as he pulled away he smiled "And even if you dont see it Stevie.. you are proper special". She smiled at him moving onto her tip toes and up into his body, leveling her mouth with his ear, she whispeared "I really want to make us work Smithy" before pulling away and heading over to where Mickey sat alone.
He headed over to her and lent over her shoulder, it was 11.45 and he was determined to get the small blonde alone before the clock hit 12 and they were officaly in next year. "Come on.." he stressed as he placed his hand round her arm and pulled her from the barstool she had been sat on for the last few hours. "Oi.." she shouted and he turned back to glare at her "Mickey has just got me another pint..." he nodded as he moved towards her "Well maybe you should go home with him tonight then as he is obviously better company than me" he smiled to Mickey who sat with his head on the bar before turning and walking away, she watched him disapear before mumbling a sorry to Mickey who didnt even acknowledge her before grabbing her handbag and making her way out of the bar. She glanced down the road and noticing he wasnt any where in sight, she turned to head back in to the pub, deciding to call a taxi and head to Smithys, she saw him sat on a bench that sat at the far end of the pub car park. She headed over and he glanced up at her "I erm.. I didnt realise I had upset you Smithy" she smiled and his eyes fell back to the ground "I thought you would rather be left to it... to talk to your friends..". He smiled "Yeah.. so I can tell them that I have a beautiful girlfriend who would rather sit with the bloke that werent even invited than me..". She took his hands and moved into him slightly standing inbetween his legs "It wasnt like that and you know it Smithy... I thought you wanted me to..." she paused waving her arms at the pub "I didnt even want to come tonight.. its New years eve.. I wanted to be at home.. with you.." she smiled "You know". He sighed "You have spent the whole night ignoring me.. twice I came to offer to buy you a drink and you said no... and I even asked you if you wanted to dance Stevie". She sighed as she knelt down between her legs so he had no choice but to meet her eyes "I said no to the drinks cause I had just got some.. and I knew you didnt want to dance Smithy.. its hardly your thing.." he interupted "But I wanted to show you I would do anything for you.. I wanted to show you how much I love you.." he paused as he realised what he said and rose instantly to his feet "Go and enjoy the rest of the party.. Im going home". She grabbed his wrist "I want to come with you". He sighed "Stevie.. its fine.. I get we are different". She smiled slightly "I want to spend time with you.." she heard the countdown begin "Ten.. nine.. eight.." came from in the pub "I want to spend new years with you.." she smiled "Please... I want to kiss the man I love at midnight?" he smiled slightly "You love me too?" he asked and she nodded "Of corse... I thought you already knew that" she moved into his body as the countdown ended and the cheering from in the pub began. "I love you Dale Smith" he grinned "I love you too Stevie" he lent down and into her soft lips placing a longing kiss "Happy new year".
