RPOV

I left my Babe with her Tia and Tio, they weren't her actually aunt and uncle, they were her family by choice and that's what she needs right now. Ella instructed as she pushed me out the door of their apartment that Babe would come up with her when she delivered the food. Babe looked like a little kid perched at the kitchen island talking with Luis while Ella ushered me out stating that this was "their time with mi dulce niña" and I would get to have dinner with her but they were getting her back.

I left feeling like I just got the love of my life actually in my life now and I'm going to have to share her with quite a few people. I'm a possessive man, always have been always will be how am I going to share? Although remembering her face when she was with those that she loved and loved her back might make it easier for me to let her go to them when I couldn't have her all the time.

I go back down to my office to get some work done knowing that I have to wait to spend time with Babe, so I might as well make myself useful.

No matter how hard I concentrate on the new contracts sitting on my desk my mind keeps going back to my curly hair beauty just a floor above me. Refocus soldier, no time to diddle dally, I got my mind back onto the task at hand.

Finally it's 1730 and I can pack it for the day, I head up to my apartment trying to remember not to smile with anticipation. If I smile I may give my men a heart attack, they aren't use to seeing me happy and I don't want to shock them too much. There has been enough happy turmoil with Babe being here, don't need to add to it.

I get myself through the three 's', shit, shower & shave. I pulled on a pair of jeans and grey t-shirt, I haven't gotten my socks and shoes on yet when there's a knock on the door.

I open to the most beautiful sight ever, there she is with black boots, dark blue jeans and a grey shirt that falls off one shoulder. I don't know how we managed it but we match.

As I check her out she has checked me out and is biting her lower lip. I hold my hand out "Babe".

She takes my hand and before she can blink I have her in my arms, finally she's home. We're at the threshold of my apartment and keep her cradled in my arms.

She looks up at me with those big blue eyes and has rested her hand on my chest over my heart. "How about we bring in all this food that Tia Ella made us and you show me your home."

Behind her is a cart that is weighted down by a dozen dishes. I raise an eyebrow to Babe and she giggles, "Tia Ella may have gone a bit overboard she made some of my favorites, besides what we don't eat tonight I'll have for leftovers. Come on lets put those massive muscles to work." We manage to bring everything in and work on setting the table together. A very cozy moment pulling our meal together, even though we didn't cook it we were still making a intimate moment between us.

When the table is done, I take her hand and guide her through the apartment. Like she did in my office, she touched and caressed everything. I'd like to think of it as her primal way of marking her territory or getting closer to me. And yes she owns my ass and can get as close to me as she wants.

We make our way back to the table and start our dinner, she starts with the moaning again and my already tight pants at having her near me become like a second skin. Except that zipper, thank god for the zipper for the bit of pain it's causing is keeping me in check. So I start eating and we continue our easy conversation over inconsequential things.

There's one rapped knock then my front door opens. I immediately place her behind me, even though we are in my secure building in my secure apartment I just had to protect her no matter where we were or what we were doing.

Tank and Hector make their way into my apartment and I relax my stanz. I look down at Babe and when she sees who has come in her smile is bright. "So you two what brings you here? Trying to crash our date or trying to make it a double date?" I looked down at her wondering how she knew they were in a relationship.

A/N: The characters in this story are not mine; I make no money out of this adventure. The only thing I get is the satisfaction of writing it and hopefully providing entertainment to you the reader! For the one who makes the money of these characters please see Janet Evanovich.

A/N 2: Yup been awhile, if want the breakdown of why please read my A/N 2 in Chapter 18 of Marriage. If you are wondering why I'm not writing the next chapter of Marriage it's cause I asked my friend on what she wanted next another chapter of Marriage, Self Pity or a new story that's been scheming in by brain. This is her pick, she said something along the lines of leaving her hanging for her challenge… Pffft… J/K lady hope you liked it :)
