A/N: Zhangxinna, I never give up on a story. It's just been chaos at work, and having writers block didn't help. :)
I haven't met the rest of the team, I think Sarah gave me a headache that lasted all week. So much going on in her mind. I chuckled slightly.
"Penny for your thoughts?" her arm snaked around my waist.
"Just thinking about Sarah." Okay maybe that was the wrong saying. I hold my hand up slightly. "Not like that." I give her a pointed look. Did I just see her become jealous?
"Okay. What about Sarah?" there was a slight firmness behind her voice and in that second, I saw something vulnerable, I felt something from her. For the first time since I laid eyes on her. I can feel her emotions.
"Her mind is." I try to think of the word but the tremor in her body, the stiffness of muscles. "colourful." I study her for a moment. "Innocent." I mutter as I take hold of her hand. "Amy?" she is like a volcano waiting to erupt.
"That's what has you chuckling to yourself?" I swallow as I hear the tremor in her voice.
"Yes. You tell me what you do for a job and then your friend and colleague comes around and her mind is like a child, as though she is sheltered from everything." I pause slightly as I rest my hand on her cheek. "That's all." I don't know why it comes out as a whisper.
She gives me a slight nod as though she doesn't trust her voice. "Okay."
I place my lips on her cheek for a moment, but it's in that second that I let words slip out of my mouth. "I love you." I can't help the smile that takes over her hold on me becomes a little tighter. Her lips meet my neck, I can feel the heat coming off her body, the small signs.
"Sorry." She whispers.
"For what." I turn giving her a pointed look. "Getting jealous?" I chuckle slightly as she nods her head. "It's cute." I say as I chuckle slightly, her hand meets my arm in a slight slap.
"Not funny." She grumbles, her eyes glisten in the light.
I can't help the laugh that now comes out my mouth I hold my hand up. "Sorry, I… its, I've never seen that side of you, even when people chat me up, you've never." I pause slightly. I cup the side of her cheek as my lips make contact with her lips. "I only want you." My voice is slightly hushed as I speak.
She closes her slightly before looking at me. "Damn." I watch as she chuckles. "I didn't, it's just sometimes." She lets out a sigh. "People haven't really stuck around once they meet the team and find out how much I work."
I wrinkle my nose slightly. "Good job I'm not like other people then. Isn't it." I give her a point look as she nods slightly. "But before I meet the rest of your team I need to find a way to."
"Or have painkillers on standby?" she says as she laughs.
"Both." I close my eyes slightly as I swallow. I take hold of her hand as I slowly tug her towards me. I smile as she easily comes towards me. I guide her down the hall to her bedroom.
"Emily, I." she falters slightly.
"What?"
She shakes her head slightly. "Nothing."
Maybe she can see the look in my eyes as I guide her down on to the bed. Maybe she can feel the heat and sweat that is starting to form on my skin. Maybe my body tells her what I want with words being spoken. It's in this second I make a choice, a choice I daren't to make all those weeks ago. But that was before I realised how much she meant to me. How much I loved her. How much I want her.
