Having two days off was wonderful. Alanna spent most of her day site seeing around South Holland. In the afternoon, Eva called Alanna and invited her out to dinner with the rest of the team for the night. While getting ready for the evening, she received a video chat from her sister.
"Wow! You're looking hot!" Ashley laughed as her face appeared on Alanna's laptop.
"Think so? This outfit okay?" Alanna asked her sister.
"Got a date?" Ashley joked.
"Ha, I have the night off so the team is all going out for dinner" Alanna replied.
"Oh, oh my god, what's wrong with your lip?" Ashley asked, with a confused face.
"Oh, this? I worked an undercover case a night ago. Hence, the next few days off" Alanna explained.
"Wow, this job seems more intense than the FBI" Ashley commented.
"It's not too bad, I enjoy it. There's another American detective here. He's from New York" Alanna said.
"Oh, anyone good looking on the team?" Ashley asked with a wink.
Tommy….
Alanna laughed and shook her head.
"I'm way too busy to be thinking about that" Alanna lied.
"Hm, well if you find any nice European boys throw them my way" Ashley said making Alanna chuckle.
"How's school?"Alanna asked.
"Good. One more week till thanksgiving break! I have my plane ticket booked!" She said happily
"Oh I'm so glad to be seeing you soon!" Alanna said, relieved her sister was coming.
"I'm more excited to be in Europe!" Ashley said making her sister smile.
Alanna's phone buzzed and it was Eva. The team had arrived and were waiting on her
"Shit, I have to go, Ash. I'll talk to you later" Alanna said
"Okay! Have fun!" Ashley replied before the screen went black.
Alanna threw on her blazer and heels [polyvore account for outfit: MillionMilesAway00] before leaving her home.
It wasn't until Alanna reached the place when she realized she was at a pub. Feeling a bit overdressed Alanna tipped her cabbie, and then headed inside. It was packed, loud, and lively. People were drinking, eating, laughing, and just having a good time. As she made her way through the bar she got a few whistles and calls from guys, but she just smiled and kept walking till she saw Sebastian, Carl, and Eva around a table.
"Hey guys" Alanna said as she reached them.
"Yay, I'm glad you could make it!" Eva said, kissing her cheek then hugging her.
"I think this night is much needed' Alanna said.
"I couldn't agree more" Carl said as Tommy came by with a bucket of beers.
"This one is on me, then you're all on your own" he said getting a round of laughter out of everyone. That evening everyone was having a good time. Tommy and Alanna ended up beside each other and very touchy with one another. Maybe it was the drinks, but Alanna didn't mind and neither did Tommy. Sebastian was saying some funny story when Tommy put his arm around Alanna's shoulders, pulling her into him. She felt at ease as she pressed against his toned body. From any other bar patron they would have looked like a couple in love, and maybe that's what they wanted.
Carl, pretending to pay attention to Sebastian, noticed Alanna's and Tommy's actions. He couldn't help but smile as he realized they were falling for each other. His eyes caught Eva's and she was thinking the same. She smiled and gave him a wink to validate what Carl was thinking.
As the evening Carl left, Sebastian left, and eventually Eva left. It was getting close to 10PM, but Alanna and Tommy were still in the bar drinking and laughing.
"You know, people probably think you beat me up or something" Alanna said, pointing to her busted lip.
"Maybe, or they think you beat me up" He said, pointing to his bruised cheek making Alanna chuckle
"I honestly thought we were going to die last night. That couple was out for blood" Alanna said.
"Aye, pure terror. Good thing you tackled him to the ground like some sort of beast" He said making Alanna scoff and laugh.
"You should be thankful that I care about you enough to save your life" Alanna rambled as the alcohol began doing its work in her system. Her surroundings weren't so stable and her words were becoming not so straight.
"You care about me now, huh?" He teased as he gently pushed her against the wall. He put his hands against the wall, on each side of her to keep her in.
She felt heat rising to her cheeks as the body contact was getting close.
"What you don't care about me?" Alanna teased him back, pulling his shirt, so they were against each other.
He didn't need to respond verbally, instead his lips found hers and they kissed each other with an alcohol influenced passion.
Alanna didn't want it to end, but some drunken patron bumped into Tommy.
"Aye, watch where you're going will ya?!" Tommy snapped at the burly man.
"Keep ya mouth shut you little leprechaun" The drunk man snapped back at Tommy.
And then it started. Two drunken Irish men. Alanna sighed and knew this was going to end well.
She watched as they began to shout at each other and the rest of the bar began instigating a fight. Feeling buzzed and good from the alcohol, Alanna enjoyed watching Tommy fight with someone else. But then she realized that they were both police, and could get into a lot of trouble. But before she could pull Tommy away, the man threw a punch at Tommy and he flew to the ground. Alanna screamed at the drunk man as she tried helping Tommy up. Both were drunk so it looked completely disastrous.
"Next time you decide to try that again I'll take your girl and show her what a real man is" The man snapped at Tommy. That set Tommy off. He jumped off the ground and pummeled the other man to the ground.
Alanna groaned as everyone shouted in enjoyment.
Alanna let the fight go for about a minute. Tommy had nothing on this guy. The man was heavy set and taller than Tommy. Tommy looked like a little teddy bear trying to break down a brick wall.
Not wanting to let this going any further, Alanna grabbed Tommy and threw him backwards. The bar went into an uproar of cheers as Alanna took a bottle of beer, smashed it on the guy's head, and while he was distracted by the hit she gave him a good kick to his balls. The man fell over like a tree and groaned in pain.
The bar cheered and clapped for her as she and Tommy made their way out of the bar.
"I could have totally taken him" Tommy slurred as he slung an arm around Alanna.
"Right, is that before or after he kills you?" Alanna laughed.
"You didn't have to be all superwoman and take him down" He said, lifting Alanna into his arms, bridal style. She laughed and held onto him tightly as he, slightly drunk, stumbled down the sidewalk.
"Where are you taking me, Mr. McConnel?" Alanna asked, batting her eyelashes.
"Where do you want to go?" He teased as he finally put her on her feet so he wouldn't trip and fall.
"Mm, wherever you're going" She said, pulling him into her.
"Probably the best idea you've had in a while" He teased before kissing her again.
In the heat of the moment, they caught a cab and before she knew it she was in his apartment, in his embrace.
Any bit of caution or hesitation was out the window. It was all about them and their needs that night. Tommy's hands studied every curve of Alanna's body and he savored it, wanting it since the day he met her. Alanna was glowing under his touch and his kisses. Soon the alcohol wearied off, but their passion for one another didn't. The lovemaking was beyond extraordinary, it was special. It felt right and perfect. However, just as they began to fall asleep in each other's arms, both of their phones went off. It was almost 1 in the morning and both groaned to reach for their phones.
"Flynn" Alanna answered quietly as Tommy grabbed his phone and went into the bathroom to answer rit.
It was Louis.
"Alanna, we have a case, get to the Hague as soon as possible" His hoarse voice came over.
"Yes sir" Was all Alanna could get in before the line went dead.
Alanna sighed and sat up in the bed. She was just in her bra and panties, as Tommy walked back in just his pants.
"Rise and shine" He said tossing his phone on the bed.
"So much for getting a few days off" Alanna muttered, lying back in his bed.
He got on the bed and leaned over her and placed a few kisses on her neck and then her lips.
"What are we doing, Tommy?" Alanna asked him, quietly as she ran her fingers through his hair.
His blue eyes were so clear and sparkling.
"What we want. We'll talk about it later, let's get going" He said, helping her sit up.
"You have to drop me off at my place. I can't wear these clothes, the team will know" Alanna said, putting her clothes back on.
"Aye and you might want to hide those" He said with a teasing smile as he brushed her hair off her neck. She had a few hickies from Tommy on her neck.
"Tommy! This is so embarrassing!" Alanna exclaimed as she looked at herself in the mirror.
He laughed in triumph.
"Just leaving my mark, darling" He said as he put a shirt on.
"Wow, really?" Alanna laughed as they both headed out. He took her home and from there, Alanna changed and drove separately to The Hague.
