AN: Here's a little drabble, just for a quick chuckle.
Saturday February 14th 9:15PM
Joss removed her heels as she closed the front door, glancing at her wrist watch.
It usually only took John 20 minutes to get from her house to his apartment. That should give her about 40 minutes to get everything ready before he came rushing back to her place after he opened his gift.
Joss let out a giggle as she hurried up the stairs.
Saturday February 14th 9:35PM
John waltz into his building holding onto the gift bag Joss had given him after they had gone out to dinner. She had instructed him not to open it until he got home.
When the elevator dinged, he entered and pressed the fifth floor button and waited in silence as the elevator began to ascend. A smirk spread across his face as he reminisced about the romantic evening he had with Joss.
As he waited patiently for the elevator to reach his floor, curiosity got the better of him and he opened his gift, rearranging the tissue paper to get a better look at the item in the bag.
His smirk slowly fell as he stared at the jumbled fabric at the bottom of the bag. Reaching in slowly, his fingers curled around the mass of black fabric, pulling it halfway from the bag.
As he examined the object he realized it was a black dress. John turned the dress in his hand and pulled it completely out of the bag causing something red to fall onto the floor of the elevator. His eyes dropped to the floor, locking onto the flimsy red lace thong.
His throat immediately went dry as the pieces fell into place to make a painfully clear picture.
John felt his heart thump against his chest as his brain continued to process the facts. It was Joss's dress, the same little black dress she had been wearing at dinner two hours ago.
"Dear God!" John voiced out loud as a new realization hit him. She was naked, she was naked underneath the coat she had been wearing when they left the restaurant. She was naked while she sat in his car as he drove her home and she was naked when she kissed him goodnight for the evening.
As the elevator dinged and the doors opened, John snatched up her underwear off the floor and bolted down the hallway towards the stairs headed for his parked car.
One month later…
Harold stopped his typing as he watched Shaw enter the library alone.
"Ms. Shaw where is Mr. Reese?" Harold asked out of curiosity.
"He had to go take his final exam at traffic school," Shaw replied as she sat down on the floor to play with Bear.
"Oh yes the incident from last month. Good, maybe next time Mr. Reese will think twice about his unsafe driving habits, especially when he's using a vehicle registered to his clean alias." Harold stated.
Harold shook his head in disapproval as he turned back to his computer, "I can't possibly image where had to be in such a hurry, that he felt it was necessary to run three red lights."
