A/N: The last chapter. Since this was never meant to be a 'heavy' fic I decided to put a typical scene in this last chapter. It's a bit shorter than the others and well, maybe I let my drama mind do the talking. I couldn't help myself. Thanks for the reviews. This is it...the end

Chapter five

They both smiled at each other. Taking her hand in his, Bobby looked at her. "This seems unreal. A… are we really going to do this?" He wondered if she'd really thought this through.

"You think we shouldn't?" She decided to put the ball in his court, after all it was his doubt.

"We're partners… we work together."

Alex nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"There are so many reasons why we shouldn't do this. What if it doesn't work out? You… you're the only partner who understands me. No one else could deal with the way I work. Sooner or later I chased them all away. You're the only one who stayed. I… don't want to wake up one day, knowing you won't be there. I'm not sure if I can take the risk."

"Bobby, don't you wanna try? Try and see how great this can be? Every day we take risks, usually much bigger than this. I'm not asking for much, Bobby. I just want you to try, but if you're not willing to take the chance, then maybe I'm wasting my time." For the first time Alex was fed up with Bobby's constant thinking. For once she needed him to feel. Angrily she stood up, leaving the bar. For the life of her she couldn't understand why he was so hesitant. Maybe it was his way of saying he didn't feel the same. She couldn't do this alone. She was willing to give him the extra push, but couldn't do that without his help.

"Alex!" She heard his voice calling her. She had reached her car, with her hand on the door handle, she felt a strong hand envelop her arm. "Alex." He said again, this time his voice softer.

Scared is what he had been when Alex had left him in the bar. Scared that he'd lost her. It was a fear he'd never been able to shake. While chasing her, her words kept repeating in his mind. Try, take the chance… she was right, but it wasn't easy to shake his fears.

"No, Bobby." She said, her voice much stronger than she felt. "You need to think this through. I need you to be sure."

"I..I am sure."

"No, you're not." Whirling around she faced him, pointing her finger at him. "Stop thinking! Feel, Bobby, feel! Damnit!" She turned around again and opened the car door.

Bobby's hand slammed the door shut, preventing her to get in. Placing one hand on her arm again his other on her waist, he turned her around with a power that somewhat frightened her.

"What.." Before she could ask him what he was doing, she felt his lips claim hers in a passionate kiss.

He wanted to erase her doubts about him and let her know how he felt about her. There was nothing gentle or tender about the kiss. Almost immediately he deepened the kiss, pushing her back against her car, his tongue seeking hers. Bobby's hand found it's way in Alex hair holding her head in place. Alex hands were around his neck playing with his hair. Full of passion their tongues found each other, dancing together.

In need of air, Alex ended the kiss. Leaning her head against Bobby's chest she needed to catch her breath. Touching her lips she smiled. Bobby was quite the kisser. The way he had claimed her lips, claimed her, she'd been slightly intimidated. That soon disappeared while the passion arose that and how right it felt to be in his arms. How safe she felt, protected in his warm cocoon. "Wow." She whispered. She felt his chuckle.

"Wow, indeed." He rested his head on top of hers and held her close. "I'm sure, Alex. I just… sometimes I need to stop thinking and go for it." His finger gently traced her jaw.

"And you did. Quite convincingly I might add." Leaning her head back she looked him in the eyes. Gone were the barriers that usually kept her from knowing how he felt. Now he was an open book, only for her to see and what she saw was love.

"You know," Alex smiled mischievously "..we should send him a thank you note."

"Who?" Bobby asked, before his lips descended on hers for a tender kiss.

"Lewis." She answered after returning his kiss.

"Uuh-uum.., we should. Just not right now."

"And why not?"

"Because.." Bobby pulled her against him again. One hand found it's place on her waist, the other on the door handle. "I think we should go home."

Alex pouted. "But I'm not tired yet."

"Good to know." He opened the door for her to get in. Finding his way to the passengers seat he got in. " Shall we?"

Reaching over, she placed her hand on his. "Let's go."

The End
