AFTER WHAT HAPPENED....
by: Panther
Pairing: Ryan & Natalia
Summary: After Natalia had the automatic gun in her face, she went home after work and was fixing to go into the shower, when her doorbell rings, ( she's still in the same house from when the drug lord was killed ) and goes to answer and sees Ryan. She let's him in, tells him that she'll be a moment and leaves for her bathroom. When she comes out, she smells food being cooked.
a/n: don't own, and I might make this a lemon, i'm not sure yet. And by the way,
' bold/italics ' are Nat's thoughts and ' Italics/underline ' are Ryan's thoughts.
Last time,
Ryan stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do. He knew that if he stayed then he might do something that might cause them both to regret it, but he also knew that she was scared and was practicaly jumping with anxity and fear that he knew that if he left, then she would feel even worse thinking that she might have offended him, which could never happen. Deciding that she needed a friend more than a..., ' Stop that! ' he chided himself as he sat down on the bed and took his shoes off, then he scooted up towards the head of the bed and turned over so that he was facing the oppsite from were Natalia was facing, not trusting his arms or himself to just reach out and hold her to him like he had wanted to do when they had first went out, but never got that far with her, the main reason being that his Ex, Erica S. was usual around when they went on any further dates after the first, he didn't want her spreading anything bad about Natalia or himself, so, reluctently and sadly, he ended it, even though it killed him to do it, fore he was and still is in love with the woman beside him. He saw the hurt look in her brown eyes and that look shattered his heart, but for some reason, he felt that she knew why he did what he did and then just turned and walked away and out of his love life for good, even though he tries to act like a good friend at work, he can't stop loving her and couldn't help but wonder if she still thought about him like he did her.

It was 1:00 a.m. when Natalia awakened and she tried to turn over on her other side, but found that something was keeping her from doing so and held her tighter to something beside her as she moved again. She turned and used what little light there was, to see what was holding onto her for dear life and saw that it was Ryan.
' We must've changed positions while we slept. ' She thought to herself as she noticed that her arm was on his covered chest and that his arm was around her waist. Looking at his face, she noticed how cute he was as he slept, some of his bangs had fallen out of place and she reached up as gently as she could and ran her fingers through his slightly short hair and placed them back into place, but even though his bangs were back in place, she couldn't stop running her fingers through his soft brown hair.
Waking up to the feeling of something moving in his hair, Ryan opens his eyes and found Natalia running her fingers through his hair in the same soothing way he had done with her a few hours earlier.
" Hey. " He said quietly, realizing that his arm was around her waist, he got nervous and began to move his arm away, but was stopped when Natalia placed her free hand on his arm, stopping him.
