Disclaimer: Not mine but I'd love to keep Ranger to myself. Sorry, I'm kinda selfish that way.

Author's Note: Not sure if Joe's going to show up and no promises that he'll be a good guy. This is going to be primarily about Ranger and Stephanie building a relationship. I only have a few chapters written but not sure how frequently I'll update once those are posted.

Stephanie's POV

I decided to surprise Ranger and do something nice for him. Ranger always did nice things for me and I wanted to return the favor. I went up to his apartment and set up candles in the entry, living room, dining room, bedroom and bathroom. I started to fill the tub with hot water and sprinkled rose petals on top of the water. I had set a bottle of lotion in a bowl of warm water so I could give him a massage later.

I was proud of myself, I had spoken to Ella about dinner and she was bringing some of Ranger's favorites. "Oh Stephanie, it looks so nice in here and it smells wonderful." She set dinner on the kitchen bar and set the flambé up and advised "The boys will call when he's on his way up and just light the flambé with this." She handed me one of those BIC lighters people use for their fireplace.

"Ok Ella. Thanks for your help. Ranger's been so stressed lately I want to help him relax."

The intercom buzzed a few minutes after Ella left and I heard Tank say "Ranger's on his way up."

I pushed the button and said "Thanks."

I walked into the kitchen and flicked my BIC lighting the flambé. I heard the front door open and suddenly there was a deluge from the sprinklers. I heard doors shut and lock as Ranger came into the kitchen grabbed me and pulled me down the stairs. Before I knew anything had happened we were standing outside of Rangeman with all the other guys and Ella.

"So Bombshell, do ya think this will help Ranger relax?" asked Lester with a chuckle.
