A/N I accidentally published the ENTIRE story xD my bad, good thing only two people read it before I found out five minutes later. So, here's part 1, now really.
What can I say? I love OC's more than the show's female's xD And yes, I borrowed some stuff from the writers. Though I owe none of it (I always forget these things)
Allison had developed a crush on one of her teammates not long after she joined them. She knew it was against the rules and would never happen, especially since it took them a while to like her. She couldn't blame them, one of their teammates had died. She had lived with the crush for a few months before she started dating other guys, in hope she would fall in love with someone else. It hadn't happened so far but she hadn't given up hope.
They were sitting in the briefing room, Greg had just told them what they would do for the rest of the day when her phone started ringing. She checked caller ID and sighed when it read 'Aaron', she had gone out with him last night and he couldn't stop talking about his ex-wife.
"Shouldn't you answer that?" Spike asked, pointing to her phone lying on the table.
"Nope, my voicemail will take it." She could see the smile forming on Ed's face and she reached out to grab her phone but was too slow. "No, Ed, I'm serious.."
"Hello, Allison's phone.. No, she's not able to take it right now. Who is this?.. Ah, Aaron.. " He watched as Allison rolled her eyes and wrote something on paper before holding it up.
'Don't you dare make another date!'
"The movies tonight?" Allison shook her head 'No' vigorously. "Let me look in her agenda for a second." He waited as she wrote something down again.
'Blow him off.'
"No, afraid she can't make it.. Tomorrow, oh let me check."
'I'll call him back!'
"You know, Aaron, I remember it now.." Allison tried to grab the phone out of his hand but failed, tripped and fell on the ground. "I think she mentioned you this morning."
"No! NO! Ed!" She loudly whispered, hoping he would stop.
"I think she said you weren't what she was looking for." Ed got up when Allison tried again to grab the phone.
"Ed!" She hissed.
"No, she didn't say why.. I'll tell her you called.. Bye Aaron." He hung up the phone and handed it to her.
"I get why you divorced a year ago." Allison said as she grabbed the phone.
"Yeah, I know. My wife didn't leave me because she was in love with a rich doctor but because I blew off guys for her."
"Pff.."
"Why didn't you want another date?" Ed asked when he said down again, Greg looked amused.
"Because it turned out he wasn't my type."
"What is your type?" Allison sighed.
"I know." Wordy said.
"No you don't.."
"Yes I do" Allison leaned back in her chair.
"Okay, let's hear it."
"Someone like Spike over here. Loyal, kind, smart and a head of hair." She didn't move a muscle and kept her face blank.
"No." Jules said. "Spike is too soft."
"Excuse me?" Spike said.
"She just called you a wimp, Spike." Allison laughed.
"Allison wants someone more dominant, like Ed. Only with hair." Allison glanced at Ed and the look on his face made her snicker.
"No, Ed is not young enough." Sam said.
"Are you calling me old, Sam?"
"I think he did." Allison interjected.
"No, I just meant.. that she might be interested in someone more her own age."
"No, she wants someone experienced." Jules said. "She doesn't want a boy, she wants a man."
"Now Jules is calling you old." Allison laughed.
"What I was trying to say.." Sam said. "Not Spike, not Ed, I've got the perfect guy."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, just let me set you up with him."
"If he gets to set you up, so do I!" Jules said.
"Me too." Everyone agreed they would get to pick someone out for her, everyone but Greg.
"You can go out with my guy tomorrow!" Sam said, getting excited.
"Okay, you get Wednesday, I get Monday." Wordy said.
"Wow, hey guys, do I get a say in this?" Allison said, trying to stop them.
"No!" They all said in unison. Allison scratched her head and sighed in defeat. She glanced over at Greg who just shrugged and smiled at her.
"Fine, but no back to backs and only on workdays." She said, they all nodded in agreement. "I don't want them to ruin my weekend."
"And they have to pick you up here." Spike said. "That way we can judge them all." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Fine." Allison said. "Just make sure they aren't jerks or anything."
…
"So, my date's today." Sam said proud.
"Yep."
"Are you ready?"
"Yes, I'm going sweaty and in my uniform." She said sarcastically as she continued running.
"Did you bring something to wear?"
"Sam, are you afraid I will make you look bad?"
"No.." She glared at him unconvinced.
…
She was just finishing with her make-up when Jules walked in.
"So, he's here. The guy's are intimidating him."
"Let them." She smiled at Jules as she grabbed her purse and closed the locker. "Is he good looking?"
"He is."
"Okay." She walked out, followed closely by Jules.
"Hey, you must be Brad." She smiled at a nervous looking man.
"Yes, Allison?" She nodded as she shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you, are you ready to go?"
"Sure, see you tomorrow guys." She didn't wait for answers and walked in front of Brad towards the elevators. "Hope they weren't too mean to you." She said once the elevator doors were closed.
"Uuhm, they were.. intimidating."
"Yeah, they can be like that. So, where are we going tonight? Did I dress right?"
"Yes, you look amazing. Just a small restaurant, hope you like Italian." He smiled at her and led her to his car with a gentle hand on her back.
"I love Italian." She smiled at him, she had to admit he was charming.
…
"So, Brad, tell me about yourself." She said once they started on their entrée. She decided that if she got set up on these things she might as well try to end up with a nice guy. Besides, she was sure they bet money on it.
"I'm 28, I teach PE on a high school."
"Difficult job?"
"Not when you know how to handle those kids." He smiled at her. "I haven't dated anyone in a few months, was raised in Toronto. I think that's all the basic stuff. What about you?"
"Uuhm I was born and raised in New York but moved to Toronto to join SRU."
"You immigrated to another country for a job?"
"Yes, I'm passionate with everything that I do." She smiled at him.
"How old are you?"
"27."
"And as I understand you have to be good to join SRU."
"I guess, my dad learned me to shoot when I was 9."
"9?"
"We didn't live in a great neighborhood." She smiled at him, he was pretty easy to talk to. "So, what are your interests?"
"I like sports."
"Hence the PE teacher."
"Yeah, exactly. I always wanted to do something with sports and I think kids don't do that enough nowadays."
"I agree, my parents used to kick me out. Made me play basketball, soccer, anything. Now they just sit in front of a tv and play sports-games."
"What about you, any interests outside your job?"
"Like I said, I'm pretty passionate with what I do. Right now, my job comes first. I like to run on my days off and I try to go snowboarding as much as I can."
"Indoor?"
"Yeah, I would love to actually snowboard on a mountain but I don't want to go by myself."
"Yeah, I don't like the cold."
"I get that, it's the worst thing about snowboarding."
…
"So, thanks for tonight Brad." She smiled at him as she grabbed her keys. She could see it in his eyes, he was unsure if he should kiss her.
"You're welcome, I had fun."
"Me too." He leaned in and gently kissed her, it was chaste. She smiled at him and walked inside.
…
"So, how was it?" Jules asked the second Allison walked into the locker-room.
"You'll hear with the rest, I'm sure they're going to ask and I don't feel like telling something 6 times." Allison said, sure Jules would hate that she would get to hear with the rest.
"Ah come on, it was Sam's guy.. It was bad, right?"
"Jules.."
"Just tell me if you had a good time."
"I had a good time." Allison said while lacing up her boots.
"Was he nice?"
"Jules.. You'll hear with the rest." She got up and walked out of the room, knowing Jules would follow.
"Allison, how did it go? He's a nice guy right?" Sam asked the second she walked into the gym. Everyone turned to listen to her response.
"Yes, Sam.. It was a nice guy. We talked and I had fun." She said, hoping they would leave it at that but knowing they wouldn't.
"Did he kiss you?" Jules asked.
"He did." Allison said while getting on the stationary bike.
"He did?" Ed asked, surprised. "You don't kiss a girl on the first date."
"Yes you do.." Everyone but Greg said. Ed glanced over at Greg.
"What are you looking at me for?" Greg laughed.
"You take women out on dates sometimes, right?"
"Sometimes.." Greg said, unsure if he wanted to go down this road.
"Do you kiss them goodnight?"
"I'm not sure what I have to do with this.. I distanced myself from this thing."
"That's a yes." Wordy said.
"You do? Jesus.. when I used to take Sophie out on dates, I didn't dare kiss her on even the second date."
"Probably because that was in the middle ages, they had strict dating rules back then." Allison joked.
"I'll get you back for that. You know I still have to pick out your date right?"
"And lose 200 bucks by making it suck?"
"260 actually." Greg said.
"Thought you had distanced yourself." Ed said to Greg.
"You decided to bring me into this.."
"So, he was a good date?" Sam asked.
"Yes."
"Is there going to be a second date?" Jules asked, she was the only one who was truly interested and not just after the bet.
"No."
"Why not?" Sam said. "You said he was a good guy, you let him kiss you."
"He wasn't.. right for me. He was a great guy though."
…
They walked into SRU after a rough call, Allison had to take the shot on a subject. She hadn't taken many life ending shots in her life and it was rough on her. She had already met with SIU while the guys were on another call where she joined them later. They walked in to see a guy standing in the briefing room.
"Allison, you have a date in the briefing room." She glanced his way, she had forgotten that.
"Thanks Kira." She smiled at her before turning around to team one. "Who's is it?" Ed raised his hand. "Okay."
"Listen, I'm sure you can reschedule.." Ed started.
"Nah, I could use a little distraction and a good time." She smiled at Ed before moving to the briefing room. "Hey, I'm Allison." The man standing next to the window turned around at the sound of her voice.
"Hey, I'm Damian." He shook her hand and smiled at her. She smiled back, he looked good she'd have to give Ed some credit for that.
"Uuhm, I'll just go change. Sorry I'm a little late."
"That's fine. I'll just wait here if that's okay?"
"Yeah sure." She smiled again before moving to the locker-room.
…
"He looks good." Jules offered.
"That he does." Allison smiled at her. "I'll just change real fast, the guys are still out there with him."
"Yeah, they're big bullies."
…
"..So, that was until my dad left." Damian was busy telling his life story. He had started in the car, after he drove off in his Lamborghini with her still standing on the curb. They had just finished their main course, Allison kept wishing time would move faster.
"And you were how old when your dad left?"
"10." Allison inwardly groaned, 10 years down about 20 to go. She took another sip of champagne. Damian had ordered it, he had also ordered caviar and some high end steak. Allison couldn't help but think he was pushing his money in her face. "But it was okay, because I got a lot of toys when he left."
"Really?" She couldn't even feign interest anymore.
"Yes, and I got a Ferrari when I turned 16. What did you get on your 16th?" The first question he had asked her.
"An old beat up second hand fiat.."
"Ow, those are awful cars. You're parents must be.."
"Poor?"
"Cheap and selfish." She downed her champagne.
"Excuse me, I need to use the bathroom." She got up and left him at the table.
"So, are you going back there?" The man behind the bar asked her as she walked by the bar.
"Yes, he's my ride home. It's just desert left. How bad can it be?" She smiled at him before going to the bathroom.
…
"..So by the time I was 25.."
"Sorry, Damian.. But if you could bring me home? I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Owyeah, I know what you mean." He wiggled his eyebrows at her.
He asked for the check and it wasn't long until it arrived. He checked the charges and then reached for his wallet but came up empty.
"Ow, I think I forgot my wallet." He looked Allison expectantly.
"Are you kidding me?" He shook his head and smiled at her. "Give me that." She motioned for the check. "Are you kidding me?" She looked at the amount she had to pay and handed her card to the waiter.
…
"So, yeah.." Allison grabbed her keys and put them in the lock. She turned to open the door but Damian pushed her against the wall and kissed her. She tried to push him away but his hand went up to cup her breast. She then managed to push him away, got inside and slammed the door in his face. If it wasn't Ed's friend she would've made sure he would never be able to walk again.
…
She walked into SRU the next day, the whole team was in the briefing room already. She walked there and moved straight to Ed.
"You're late. Did you have fun last night?" Ed asked jokingly.
"No, no I did not have fun." She sounded very pissed. "How could you set me up with a rich self-centered jackass! I know chivalry is dead, but this guy has never even gone near it in the dictionary!" Everyone sat back in their chairs, enjoying what was about to happen.
"I.."
"No, you all want to hear how my evening went? I'll tell you." She was standing in front of his chair, he was visibly intimidated. "We left SRU and walked to his car, I mean Lambie, his petname for his car. He drove off without me and only noticed at the end of the street. He didn't come back for me but let me walk there. I should've left right then. We arrived in the restaurant and he started flaunting his money in my face. Bottle of the most expense champagne, 14.000 dollars, caviar, 450 dollars, a very expensive piece of some animal.. He could only talk about himself, called my parents cheap and selfish for not buying me a Ferrari when I turned 16 and at the end of the night he forced a kiss and groped me!"
"Wait, how do you know the champagne was that expensive?" Jules asked. "Sounds like a fancy place, fancy places don't give women prices."
"I was hoping you would ask, because this was the best part of the evening." She grabbed the receipt from her pocket and slammed in onto the table. "He made me pay!" Ed glanced down the check to the total.
"Wow.."
"You know what I paid that from? My car.. and my rent. Thanks Ed, because I won't get a new car and I won't make rent this month. So, thanks." She walked off towards the locker-room, everyone was silent.
"So, where exactly did you find this guy?" Sam asked.
"Uuhm, Roy, knew him. I'd met him once and he didn't seem to bad."
"You better get that money for her, Ed."
"Yeah.." Ed said, letting his head fall in his hands. "I'm going to go.. talk to her." He got up but Jules stopped him.
"You really think she wants to talk to you?"
"Jules, get her back here for the briefing will you?" Greg asked, Jules nodded and walked off.
…
"Hey, it's just me." Jules said as she walked inside.
"AAH!, I swear to god.."
"Soo.. That's a lot of money."
"Yes." She slammed her locker shut. "I'll get it back, right?"
"Uuhm.."
"I didn't even like the champagne! What idiot pays 14 grand for champagne!"
"Come on, Sarge wants us in the briefing room." She nodded and followed Jules out.
…
They walked back to the briefing room and Allison took Jules' seat next to Sam. Jules smiled and took the seat next to Ed.
"Listen Allison.." Ed started.
"Is this about work, sir?"
"Well.. No.."
"Then I won't listen, sir." Everyone looked between her and Ed, she was really mad. "So, what are we going to do today?" She looked at Greg.
"Patrol, Allison you're with Ed and Jules. Sam with Wordy, Spike you're with me." They all nodded. Greg was about to continue when they heard Winnie's voice through the loudspeaker on the table.
"Allison, there's a call for you. It's a guy named, Damian."
"No, I don't… You know what, patch him through to here, will you?"
"Sure."
"Thanks Winnie."
"Damian?" Allison asked.
"Hey, Allison. So I wanted to check on you after last night."
"Why?"
"Well, you closed the door in my face. That's not really nice. So, I thought maybe you weren't feeling good?"
"No, I'm fine."
"Good, good to hear. So, I was also wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner again with me tonight." Allison flat out laughed.
"No, Damian I don't." She'd never been this blunt before.
"Why not?" He sounded really surprised.
"Because you owe me.." She got up and grabbed the receipt out of Ed's hands. "14.759,75 dollars"
"Ow that." He said casually.
"Hmm, yeah. Just pocket money for you right?"
"Yeah. Sure, you'll get it today. Don't know what the big deal is though, it isn't even 15 grand.."
"Because, Damian, some people actually have trouble making rent while saving for a new car."
"Okay, relax.. I'll get it to you today, can I drop the check of at SRU?"
"Yes, that would be good."
"Okay, so about dinner?"
"Get me my money first, Damian.."
"Okay, I'll see you later."
"Bye Damian." She pressed the button that ended the call. "So, patrol?" Greg nodded and they got up.
"15 grand and he doesn't get what the big deal is?" Jules asked Allison as they were collecting their gear.
"Yep.. Ed couldn't have picked a bigger douche."
"Well, at least he's paying you back."
"Yeah.. I'll believe that when I've got the money on my account."
