Sometimes she could be such a bitch, I left a damn message hours
ago! Still I waited for her, and waited… at last, I watched her pull
up, while I casually lent on the phone booth playing with the
cocktail stick between my teeth. That swivel in her walk made me
smile, I was irritated by her bad punctuation but I still couldn't
help admiring her, enjoying this game we played. I nibbled, thinking
she might consider it sexual, but actually it was my way of covering
the lucid tone in my voice. She rolled her eyes at my comment "I've
been waiting for you!"

…she apologised but I didn't buy it, I could tell she was smiling
inside and yes she was enjoying this just as much as me. She wasn't
impressed by my CSI work… yeah I knew that would tick her off! What
did she expect anyway? That I would wait patiently and not do a
thing? I watched her bend down, I smirked at her from behind and you
could still hear that tone in my voice as I explained the hair on
the floor. I could swear she was smiling too, I tried to hide the
buzz I was getting… back and forth we would tease each other and I
just considered it tension, sexual tension. When she stood up we
were close, shoulder to shoulder head to head so to speak. I watched
her and I pouted, I was making this really obvious and she new just
by the way I stood that there was something between us.

She finished and made a quick comment about seeing me at the lab. I
called out to her as she began to swivel off "My shift ended 2 hours
ago!" maybe that confirmed things for her. I'd waited for her alone
on a random street at night instead of going home to a comfortable
bed. She paused in the street and as I unlocked my car with a double
beep she came back. "Yeah mine too" she told me. Had she turned back
just to get the last word? I turned and lent against my car, taking
the cocktail stick between my teeth again "and you're going back to
the lab?" my point was made, and she nodded "And your not…" I didn't
answer her instead giving her a look that said to much as it was. We
left it like that, open, unfinished and full of possibility. I
considered going to the lab, following her back just to get some
points, but no, I went home.

I turned into the drive noticing her car parked along the curb, it
was too late to turn back and a thrill ran through me as she watched
me pulling in. I stepped out noticing how she was leaning against
her car, not a word was spoken, as always I managed to look
confident though I was far from it, while she watched looking all
cocky! I walked over to her trying to contain my smile. "I've been
waiting for you!" she said with a hint of sarcasm. She was copying
me, her posture her smirk, her tone. I got up close to her, close
enough to kiss her brushing her breath with my lips missing her
mouth by a few centimetres. I moved passed her and heard her breath
deeply as I headed for the door "You coming?" I asked bluntly. After
a few beats she answered "Wouldn't want to leave you waiting!"
