Slow Dances

They swayed gently together, his arms tenderly wrapped around her waist. Hers were wrapped around his neck. They seemed oblivious to the people around them. Rick whispered something in Kate's ear, and she smiled, resting her head on his shoulder.

There were four people watching them as they danced. Lanie was smiling, Esposito had an across Lanie's shoulders, and he looked slightly amused. Ryan was sitting with jenny, both of them watching Kate and Rick.

"I'm so glad they finally hooked up," Lanie said.

"They certainly seem happier now than they did when they were dating other people," Esposito agreed.

"Some people are blind to true love. It takes time," said Jenny.

"It didn't for me," Ryan said, smiling at Jenny. She smiled back.

They all looked back at Rick and Kate, who were sharing a kiss.

"And in the middle of the dance floor," Lanie chuckled. "Those two are so sappy."

Rick glanced over at the two couples who were watching them. "Apparently we're quite entertaining," he whispered to Kate. She smiled up at him, and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I love you," Rick whispered.

"I love you, too," Kate replied.

"I love hearing you say that."

"Come here." Kate pulled Rick closer, and they kissed.

"Bet they think we're sappy," Rick muttered against Kate's lips.

"Eh, don't care," Kate replied, "And thanks for coming to this dance with me."

"Are you kidding? Any opportunity to see you in a dress. Especially one I can easily remove."

Kate playfully hit Rick on the arm, "You're insatiable. And I don't want to get arrested again."

Rick leaned close, "We'll just have to be careful then."

Kate just rolled her eyes.

A/N: And here's another one :) A little sweeter than the last one, I think.
