Reese interrupts Carter on her date so she decides to get back at him. This story will have at the most three chapters and I hope you enjoy. And a special thanks to Maddsgirl75 for being a kickass beta.
Carter walks out of the ladies room only to stop short, blinking, because she can't believe what she's seeing with her own two eyes. Sitting at the table with her date is none other than John fucking Reese as if he doesn't have a care in the world. She quickly stalks back to her table giving Reese a look that could kill.
Both Reese and Phil her date rise to pull out her chair but of course Reese's hand reaches it first. She sits down, still too shocked at seeing him there that's she's speechless.
"Detective?"
"Well Mr. Reese I am surprised to see you here sitting at this table in the exact restaurant as me and my date." She picks up her glass of wine and takes a huge sip glaring at him, he only smirks in return, the bastard
Phil looks from Reese to her before replying. "Mr. Reese was just telling me that you made arrangements to see him tonight." Phil shoots her a confused look as he once again looks at Reese then back to her again.
Damn, she really wished Phil would grow a pair and tell Reese to go screw himself but she got the feeling that, just like with animals, the weaker males can sense a dangerous alpha male a mile away. Reese was just that; a dangerous, kick your ass into the ground before you can blink alpha male and she'd be damned if the smug son-of-a-bitch didn't know it too.
"Say what now." Were the only words that came out of her mouth. She was still in shock that Reese had actually crashed her date. She hasn't been out on a date in forever and now that she finally is….it gets crashed by her very own vigilante.
Reese turns to her and replies. "Now Jos why act so surprised? After all, I am the man you've been chasing all these months." This causes her to choke on the wine she was sipping and Phil is instantly up patting her on the back and asking if she was okay.
She can only stare back at him with jaw dropping open. He's made it sound as if she was stalking him when she was actually the one doing her job by investigating him… but his double entendre was only known between the two of them which was exactly what he intended. Bastard!
She had been looking forward to this date all week. Getting dressed up in something other than pants and wearing a little more makeup than she would for work was now pretty much wasted while he sits there smirking back at her. She is so annoyed at him at this point that she decides to have some fun of her own…at his expense.
Phil has been watching them both and suddenly decides to interrupt. "If I am in the middle of something please let me know and I can leave."
"No!" She yelps. This causes several people sitting close to look her way. She wants to sink into the floor from embarrassment while Reese sits there looking calm, cool, collected, and so fucking sexy that she just wants to punch him in the face. She simply gives him a smile that he must have recognized as dangerous but continues to smirk at her anyway.
"Oh no Phil it's alright I do remember telling Mr. Reese that I would be here for him tonight once he got his diagnosis back from the doctor."
Reese looks at Carter with a confused look on his face. "What diagnosis detective?"
"Oh you don't have to be shy in front of Phil. I am sure he would be quite sympathetic to your "condition". She is smiling now because he has no idea what's coming next and at this point she's still too pissed off to even care that she's taking it this far.
"Sure Phil hasn't been diagnosed with Erectile Dysfunction like you have but I'm sure he wouldn't judge you for something that's out of your control." She gives him the most sincerely innocent smile that she can muster up.
"Erectile Dysfunction?" His smirk quickly changed to a look of warning.
"Now Detective, I don't think that Phil would like to hear about my "condition." She sits there staring back at him, calmly sipping her wine and trying desperately not to laugh herself out of her chair.
Phil watches the two of them and wishes he could be anywhere else besides sitting at the table with them.
"Maybe I should just call it a night and we can do this another time Joselyn?" Phil obviously senses something else going on but she refuses to let Reese win since he was the one to throw down the gauntlet by crashing her damn date.
"Now Phil, Mr. Reese needs our support which is why he crashed our date tonight. He thought I could offer him my sympathy because the doctor probably said the latest in a long list of medications isn't working." She smiled evilly at Reese as if to say take that asshole. "It's such a shame an attractive and once virile man such as Reese is all talk and no play."
Her eyes narrowed as she continued to smile back at him. "Hmm…maybe you could take up Yoga to relieve the stress since that's the only way you're going to be able to relieve all that built up tension." Again, she had to work at controlling her laughter. She is having way too much fun and now she can tell that he's really irritated if the clinching of his jaw is any indication.
"Detective you really should stop with the jokes before Phil starts to believe you are serious." Reese says. His normally soft husky voice even softer than usual letting her know just how pissed off he's becoming.
He leans in close and as his lips graze her ear he whispers low enough for only her to hear. "Jos we both know that I don't have Erectile Dysfunction but if you need proof I would be more than happy to show you." He leans back from her slowly looking completely relaxed while she's blushing like a school girl trying to keep her breathing under control.
"Detective is everything okay?" Feigning a concerned look while knowing full well how he has affected her. "You look a little…. flushed."
At this point she thinks it's time to leave him at the restaurant by himself since he wants to be there so damn bad. She turns to Phil and tells him that she is suddenly not feeling well and would he please take her home.
Phil and Reese both start to rise but she halts Reese by pointing one finger at him. "Now Mr. Reese don't get up on my account after all I know just how difficult it is for you to "rise" to the occasion."
She smiles evilly and takes Phil's arm hurrying out the door before Reese can come back with some snarky reply. Once safely outside she finally has the chance to laugh at the situation she found herself in on her date.
Turning to Phil she starts to apologize but he cuts her off. "Joselyn I think you are a nice woman but I don't want to get in the middle of whatever's going on between you and Mr. Reese." Leaning in he kisses her on her on her cheek and turns to hail a cab leaving her standing on the sidewalk all dressed up and no place to go.
Sighing, Joselyn watches the cab pull away with her date and decides to just walk home. Her evening certainly didn't go as planned, no thanks to John. OH how that man got under her skin! Just thinking about him and his date-crashin' ass got her so pissed off again. What the hell was he thinking anyway? Just sittin' down at their table like he owns the place while she's on a date! She knew he had to have known before he did it, but why? That was the question she continued to ask herself. Before she knew it, she had walked all the way home and was standing at her front door.
