| Faith closed her eyes redundant. She opened them trying to stop the yawn she felt trying to course it's way up, but her mouth opened and she yawned. Sitting in the squad car without a partner, was so beyond boring. She probably could play Russian Roulette and actually find that better then just sitting in the car all by her lonesome. Faith Yokas never dreamed that she would miss hearing Bosco's non-stop jabbering, but as of right now, she totally missed his mouth. She pulled up to the street. Looked at the watch. It was only 9:20 p.m. 'Great' she thought. At the rate she was going she would die of boredom. Faith glanced over to see Sully's squad car across the street. Parked in front of a Deli, she wondered if Davis and Sully wouldn't mind some company. She called it in; she was taking her time for dinner. Faith hadn't realized how hungry she was until she actually gave notice and could begin to feel her stomach screaming and growling for some food. Faith walked into the tiny restaurant. Most of the gang was there. She could see Doc and Kim, along with Alex Taylor giving Carlos an arched eyebrow kind of look, and Davis smiling at Alex's attitude; while Sullivan concentrated at the meal in front of him. She smiled shyly and then she realized something was wrong. Everybody had gone deathly silent. It was like if somebody had dropped a very expensive dish and everybody looking around wondering who should tell the owner of the priceless china. Her mind raced trying to think if she had forgotten something, maybe her zipper was down or something. She glanced around and that is when she spotted him. Bosco. He was sitting at the end of the table and was smiling. But the smile soon disappeared when he spotted her, standing there. His head lowered and without saying a word he pushed his seat back, stood up and then making sure he kept his eyes locked away from her he walked out of the restaurant. Everybody had stayed quiet, unsure of Bosco's reaction when she had walked in. They had already known Faith and him were fighting, and it wasn't from Bosco talking about it. No. Rumors and stories get told fast, there was no secret about them fighting. She looked around the table unsure of what to do. The Rookie stood fast and went and followed Bosco. He past her and gave a sympathetic look and then left. Sully looked up from him plate. "Why don't you sit down Faith. As you can see we have now a extra spot." Davis who had been sitting next to Bosco whom he was talking to was now patting the seat for Faith to sit in. Faith shook her head and tried her best to give a smile of appreciation. "No thanks Sully and Davis, I just seemed to have lost my appetite." She gave a slight wave and than backtracked her steps and then walked out of the restaurant. Faith Yokas let out a long and drawn out breath. She felt as though she would just loose it on the street. Bosco was totally ignoring her, not even letting her get near him. She was beginning to wonder if this is what she deserved if she got what was coming to her from keeping the secret so long from him. She pushed this out of her mind and got into her car and took off. (In the Restaurant) They watched Faith standing outside the door, not sure if they should get up and say something or just watch what Faith would do. When she finally took off in her squad car they all looked back down at their plates, wondering how they could start their next conversation. Carlos looked around at the table and then mischievously looked over at Ty Davis Jr. "How much you want to bet Faith Yokas wins this fight." Kim looked at them with wide eyes and a smile began to form on her lips as she tried not to laugh. "That is wrong." "But funny" added Alex "I'm in. Go Faith." "Well I have to stick with the male species here, I say Boz will win this one. So my man Carlos, you're on." Davis smiled as he spoke this. He looked over at Sully who wasn't paying attention so he let his eyes glance over at Doc. "Want to back a brother up here." Doc smiled. He didn't like to get into these kinds of things but what the hell. "Yeah sure....I say Boscorelli will win this round....all though I'm not sure....Yokas is the only person who actually has some control over Boscorelli." The entire group roared with laughter knowing how true that was. "So a bet's a bet, how about 10dollors who ever wins. You have to pay up on the spot, deal everybody." Spoke Carlos. Everybody agreed and got back to what they had left on their plates. Faith Yokas thanked God when her shift was over. All she wanted to do was go home and not think about Bosco or anyone else for that matter. Faith just wanted to go home and crash next to her husband. Bosco was in the locker room. He was not moving as fast as he had last time, not wanting to get out of a room that felt as though it was going smaller by the second. No, Boscorelli was taking his time undressing and getting ready. Faith looked over at him but he wouldn't even look at her, he just made damn sure he kept to his business. She hurried up and left the locker room and went outside. As she started to go towards the direction she walked every night, she decided against it and went and stood by Bosco's blue Mustang. Bosco came out of the Precinct and stopped right on the sidewalk. He could see Faith standing there, by his car. He clenched his teeth together hard. He had done a beautiful job avoiding her all day, not saying a single word to her. Play the ignore game. Now there she was intent on talking to him. He coolly made way towards his car, ready to jump in again and leave the Precinct and Faith Yokas behind him. His mind raced now, trying to come up with something to get her away from his car. But again, his mind failed him and he could come up with nothing, not one single thought on how to escape this one. He stopped in front of her, not saying a single word. Just gave his usual expression 'what the hell do you want' look. "You can't ignore me forever Maurice Boscorelli. You're my partner and you have to work with me so you can't ignore me." "Sure hell I can try." He mumbled under his breath. Faith fought hard to keep back the tears that wanted to force their way out onto the nice warm night. She didn't want them to trail down her cheeks and to show how much he was bugging her by ignoring her like this. "Look I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But oh well I didn't, can't do anything about it now. All we can do is...." Bosco interrupted her before she could finish, "And what, act as though it never happened? Live in a fantasy world where we're still okay and running around with stupid crack head smiles on our faces. No! Sorry Faith you may be able to do that but I can't," he pointed his finger "if you were my true partner, you would have told me." He began to walk past her when she grabbed onto his arm. "Oh don't be talking you hypocrite, you haven't told me numerous things about yourself that effect us when working together, why you have such a bad temper mostly and..." Bosco ripped his arm out of Faith's grasp. "Oh so this is my fault now, everybody's else's fault but your own. Well you know what Faith, maybe I have done a lot of things, but have I ever, EVER endangered our lives cause I wasn't there all 110% physically and mentally? Huh tell me Faith, tell me one time I have and then I will let it go." Faith stared at Bosco. Her shoulders sagged. She had forgotten that one time she had slipped, and for once Bosco wasn't the one wrong. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*DUE TO SIZE ISSUES I MADE THIS STORY INTO TWO PAGES, SORRY FOR ANY INCOVENIENCE*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
