"Umm PJ can we talk?" said Constable Maggie Doyle as she walked nervously into Senior Detective PJ Hasham's office. "What about," questioned PJ. "You know,
just life," she answered. "Well then , have a seat," (he gestured towards his own seat behind his desk.) "Ahh no thanks, I'd prefer to stand," "Suit yourself he said in a
sarcastic tone. "So did ya miss me," he asked hopefully, "Why where'd ya go?" she laughed. "Ha, ha, ha, very funny, nah, but really, did you?!" Maggie looked into
his blue eyes and wondered if she should tell him how she felt, "More than you could ever imagine," she smiled. Still looking into PJ's eyes she saw how happy he
was, and kissed him, then she hugged him. In each others arms PJ said, "I'm glad you missed me, because, I missed you to." 

"I want to do it," said Maggie, "Do what?" replied PJ. "Give us a go, you know, us having a relationship." "You, you do," he said in shock. "Well you being away
from me nearly killed me, I love you like crazy, and I learnt that I couldn't live without you!" "That's what I've always wanted to hear," said PJ happily, and gave
Maggie a big hug. At that precise moment Constable Dash McKinley burst in seeing Maggie in PJ's arms. "Oh um, the boss wants too see you two," she said in awe.
"Yeah, we'll be right out," replied Maggie. Dash closed the door and walked back to her desk. "What's wrong, you look like you've seen a ghost," laughed the
station teaser Senior Constable Nick Shultz. "Well, I um," she stuttered, "Dash what is it?" asked Constable Adam Cooper. "It's just that I think I interrupted
something between PJ and Maggs." "Like what," questioned Adam. "Well, when I went in there Maggie was in PJ's arms." "Oooooh, go Margaret," teased Nick,
"Not to mention Patrick," added Adam. About 10 seconds later PJ and Maggie came walking out of the C.I office, both with small smiles on their faces. "Ah, PJ,
you've got a bit of lipstick on your face there," teased Nick pointing to PJ's cheek. PJ raised his hand to get rid of it, when he realised Nick was joking, so he just
gave him a sarcastic smile and kept walking.

Once inside Tom's office Sargent Croyden gave them the details on a hold up at the bottle shop and straight after, PJ, Maggie and Dash left the station to check it
out.

"So what's going on between you two," teased Dash on the way to the bottle shop. Maggie looked at PJ in the drivers' seat, but neither of them said anything.
"Come on, we all know there's something going on, and we're gonna find out sooner or later," said Dash. "Hang on a second, who's we?" asked PJ. "Me, Nick and
Adam," replied Dash. "Sorry Dash, I think you might have your wires crossed," added Maggie. "Yeah, what ever you reckon," Dash mumbled.

 

"Gee, that was really worth it," groaned Maggie as she walked through the front door of the station. "Hey Nick, where's the Boss," asked Dash. "He, ah, went home,
he had a migraine, so I'm in charge," he replied. "So in other words, we can knock off now, and head down to the pub," Adam said with hope. "You wish," laughed
Maggie. "Maggs, can I see you in my office please," a friendly voice interrupted. "Oooooh, go Maggs," whispered Dash. "Now you behave yourself Margaret," said
Nick loud enough for PJ to hear as well.

"So, what are you doing tonight?" asked PJ as Maggie closed the door to his office. "Well, I didn't know we'd planned anything," she replied. "Oh good then, you're
not busy." "Would I be doing anything with anyone but you on your first full night back," she smiled. (He got back at 11:45pm the night before.) "So, what do you
want to do?" he added. "Well how about dinner." "Gee, I sort of figured that much, but where?" he teased. "Your choice," Maggie replied. "Ok then how about you
come round to my place at about 7:30pm for a nice home cooked meal." "I didn't know you could cook," she laughed "I can't," he joined in. "Well make it my house
then, 7:30, just to be safe!" "Deal," he agreed with a smile.

At exactly 7:30 there was a knock on the door and when Maggie answered it there was the very handsome PJ Hasham with a bottle of red wine in one hand and a
dozen red roses in the other. "Oh PJ their beautiful," Maggie exclaimed as she saw the roses," "Who said they're for you, is Dash in, we have a date," he teased. "Ha,
ha, ha, you're so funny," she said sarcastically. "Mmm, dinner smells great," said PJ stepping inside. "It's fettuccini, do you like it?" she replied from the kitchen.
"Yeah actually, it's one of my favorites," he said walking into the living room. "What have you done here, with all these candles, dimmed lights and soft music, you
trying to get me all excited?" he laughed. "Yeah, something like that," she replied.

 

After dinner and about two hours of talking PJ said to Maggie, "I missed you, more than I've ever missed anyone in my whole life," "Me too," she replied. "God how
I wish I knew that when I was away, you wouldn't believe how many times I went to ring you, but I wasn't sure if you'd want to talk to me." "Why wouldn't I," she
replied. "I don't know, I just wasn't sure." Maggie put her hand on his face and said "Hey, I want to talk to you ever second of every day, but like you, I'm not sure if
you want to talk to me." "Of course I do, I love you Maggs." "I love you too PJ." Lying on the floor the started to kiss each other as they undid each other's shirts.

 

At that moment Nick and Dash walked into the house and into the living room. "Marga…." Nick's voice trailed off as he approached the door seeing Maggie and PJ
half-naked on the floor. As soon as she saw Nick and Dash Maggie tried to casually look for her top, but was unsuccessful.

"Um…" stuttered Dash, "We were just wondering if you wanted to come and play doubles of pool down at the pub." "What's taking so long," called Adam walking
into the living room. "Oh," he added as he saw Maggie sitting topless next to PJ who had his shirt undone surrounded in candles with soft music playing. "Oh what?"
added PJ in a relaxed tone. "We were just discussing my time in Melbourne, there's no crime about that!" "Yeah that's why you've got no clothes on," stated Nick.
"What do you call this," said PJ pointing to his undone shirt and his black jeans. "Oh yeah, and what about that lovely lady sitting next to you," "Who Maggs," "No,
the fairy god-mother," teased Nick. "Of course Maggie." "I was hot," said Maggie. "Yeah right," said Nick. "Come on Nicholas, I'll give you a lift home," interrupted
Adam. "Yeah, alright. But I WILL succeed in finding out the details tomorrow!" "There's no details to find out," called Maggie as Nick and Adam left.

 

After they'd gone Dash went into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee and left PJ and Maggie to clean up in the living room. "Do you want some….ah…." Dash said
walking into the living room finding Maggie and PJ in each other's arms kissing, but still topless. "Woops," she added as she turned to walk away. "No what is it
Dash," Maggie called after her. "Do you want some, um, coffee?" she replied. "Not for me thanks Dash, I was just leaving," PJ replied. "Ok, um, bye," Dash said as
she turned and headed back to make her self a coffee. When PJ left Maggie went and joined Dash into the kitchen, and Dash said to her "You two look very in love
and happy together." "You noticed replied Maggie. "Well, gee, it's a bit obvious," laughed Dash. "Yeah but I really love him, and he loves me, just keep it to yourself
will you?!" "Sure thing," smiled Dash.

 

The End!!
