How Should I Feel

Summary: Adam wonders what it would be like to have a real relationship. When his mind travels to Jo Danville, things might get a little awkward. A Jo/Adam ... give it a shot it might interest you

Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to CSI New York, and for some reason lately I've been wondering if Adam might have a thing for Jo...


Adam hasn't been able to sleep good in a week. A lot has been on his mind lately, especially about him being the only person on the CSI team not in a happy relationship.

Danny has Lindsay, who have a kid. Sheldon is dating some woman, Adam isn't fond of her but Sheldon seems happy. Mac was slowly getting serious with Christine, Adam was very excited to see his boss finally happy. And Don Flack was getting kind of close with the new detective Jamie Lovato, which was very attractive in his book.

That left one person... Jo Danville.

He didn't know why Jo was still single, she was a very likeable woman. If someone deserved happiness in their life it was Jo. Of course she had two kids, but that shouldn't really be the reason why she's still single.

Everytime she was near him, he felt something, but he didn't know what it was.

'She is older than me, but that is really no excuse,' he thought to himself. He ran a hand through his hair. 'Hell, I could just be really tired, I can't be thinking this way about her, I just can't,' he gave his head a shake.

"Is Adam Ross daydreaming again?" Jo entered the room, Adam glanced up at her.

"I don't um... daydream at work Jo, that's unprofessional."

Jo laughed, "So you're just... deep in thought?"

"Uh, yeah, I was going to say that actually. You know me a little too well Jo."

"We've worked together for three years, give me some credit Adam."

"So, what's up?" he asked, 'yeah I think I need some sleep.'

"I was quite worried about you, and you looked a little upset."

"Oh, well thanks for being concerned."

"Of course I would be, you are, after all my favorite lab tech."

"Would it be alright if I asked you a question I've been having?"

"Sure, what's on your mind?"

Adam sighed, "Do you feel a little left out? It seems like everyone is in a relationship, except me, and I don't know about you..."

"You know every guy I've dated, one way or another always hinted that I shouldn't be in the job field I am in. I love what I do, I don't think any man could ever deal with the fact that I love my job. So I don't really mind if I never find anyone, plus it's like I'm married to my job I've been doing it for so long. Why, do you feel left out?"

He nodded, "Well sort of, I've never really had a serious relationship before, and it feels like I'm missing out. I'm in my thirties Jo, and never had a real relationship. Does that mean there's something wrong with me?"

Jo patted his hand, "That is perfectly normal Adam... you're a great guy. So you haven't found the right person yet, but she is out there. Just be yourself, don't let me see you change just because you want to be with someone. If they don't like you for who you are, then they aren't worth it."

He smiled, "Thanks Jo, you sure know how to make me feel better about myself."

She shrugged, "What can I say I'm good at comforting. Now get back to work," she squeezed his shoulder before walking off.

Adam turns around in his chair and watches her walk off. 'Yeah, I think I have it bad.'


Let me have it... tell me if this idea is really out there, does it suck, or is it interesting review and let me know if I should continue, keep as one shot or trash it... this is just an experimental thing (that's why its so short)
