Chapter Twenty Three – Shameless Flirting

Epov

"You and this Sam have a history then" I asked smiling, she pulled her hand away from mine shaking her head.

"Dammit Edward I told you to stay out of my file" she hissed.

I chuckled shaking my head not able to help the smirk that graced my lips. "I'm not in your file" I said tilting my head before continuing "I'm in his" I chuckled.

She folded her hand and bit her lip causing me to feel bad for teasing her.

"Yes I've dated other Agents and Yes Sam was one of them. We dated for a few month, yes during that month we received discipliner's for our action on duty" she cut off shaking her head.

"I ended it when I found him with another Agent I junk punched him and put in for a transfer, after that I didn't need a man or have time for one" she said not looking at me.

"I'm sorry" I said tilting my head "I just wondered you know, we never spoke about our personal life's" I chuckled trying to lighten the mood "just wondered if you had a love child somewhere"

She shook her head "No and no husband or boyfriend tied to my bed either your welcome to check" she grinned.

I was half tempted to but shook my head smirking at her, glad the mood seemed to have shifted to a lighter note.

"What about you, no wife hidden away" she asked looking generally curious.

"Nope, although before I did my first tour I was engaged we'd been dating for roughly six months a nice girl, I decided to propose after I found out I was being sent she said yes" I shrugged it off, "to be honest it was something I'll always regret it wasn't fair to either of us to propose due to the me being shipped out".

"What happened" she asked tilting her head her hand coming towards mine on the table but not touching.

"She didn't like the soldier side of me, apparently waiting for a soldier to come home wasn't her plan of romance" I chuckled shaking my head I'd got over it all a long time ago.

"huh" she said shaking her head "the uniform always did it for me" she smirked.

I shook my head laughing a full on laugh "I still have mine some where remind me to show you sometime" I smirked winking.

I don't know when or how but we had both become comfortable with harmlessly flirting it seemed to mellow us both.

"Back to what I was saying earlier" she said shaking her head laughing.

"That wasn't a no though right" I said smirking

She ignored me and carried on her discussion of her guest due to arrive soon.

"Emmett became a private detective he's the best at what he does due to his back ground in the service, he has a lot of friends in high places I called him and asked him to help us with this, I didn't tell him any information I just said I needed help with a case and could he come discuss it with me and my partner" she said shrugging.

I smiled at her use of the world partner we had become that, usually I hated having to work with someone else but with Bella we seemed to just fit and work well.

"If he gets here and you don't want his help it's fine we'll do this our way but I trust him with my life, and three heads will be better than one" she said.

I nodded the man had helped save Bella's life he couldn't be that bad.

We had both spoken to Carlisle and whilst he had given us some details about Alec mentioning Tanya Carlisle had said he wasn't sure Alec really knew what happened he seemed detached he had said most likely due to what ever had happened to him.

Carlisle said Esme was also keeping it under wraps which after hearing her conversation with Bella didn't surprise me.

We had both agreed involving any one at Cyber com was a risk we didn't want to take since we wasn't sure if anyone else was hiding information.

We spent another hour laughing and joking until a knocking cut us both off.

Looks like her friend is here I thought standing to answer the door.
