Chenford Tim and Lucy One shots - Requests Welcome

🧭 Chapter 9 - Lost is Found Pt 5

Today was the day that Lucy was going back to work. She had been mentally assessed and cleared by the shrink, and had passed her physical exam with flying colours.

Lucy had slept over at Tim's the night before, but she had brought a bag over with all of her stuff in it. Tim was going drive her close enough so that she wouldn't have to walk too far, but not too close where other officers would see them coming into work together.

Lucy had been off work for just under two weeks; she missed her friends' faces.
Just before they left the house, Tim gave her a hug and a kiss, saying, "We can't do this anywhere near the station, just in case anyone sees us."

At her nod, he continued,"And whose house tonight are we at tonight?" They each had a few of their things at each other's houses, but Tim couldn't really go to Lucy's very often because of Tamara.

"I'm alone tonight, Tamara's at a sleepover, can you come over to mine?" She asked. Tim smiled and nodded.

"Now that's sorted, let's get this show on the road."

"And finally, I'd like to welcome back Officer Chen to the department," Tim finished, smiling.

A few 'welcome back's echoed around the room, and Lucy gave them nods of aknowledgement.

Grey dismissed them all, sending them all of out the room.

Lucy caught up to Tim on the way to the armory, keeping an what she thought was an appropriate distance from him.

After climbing into the shop, away from prying eyes, Lucy didn't miss the flirtatious glances and the innuendos which Tim would throw her way; he made her heart flutter as if there thousands of butterflies rioting inside.
This continued for the entire day until they could finally go back to Lucy's apartment, where they cuddled and watched television for the rest of the night until Lucy dozed off on Tims chest.

-the next day-

Tim was out of Lucy's hair early the next morning - a brand new rookie was coming in on short notice, and a schedule needed to be sorted out.

Lucy quickly scrambled up some eggs for Tim, which he wolfed down, giving her a chaste kiss as he darted out the door. She sighed, the apartment felt empty without his presence.

She took her time getting dressed, having eaten at the same time as Tim, she didn't need to make herself breakfast. It was too late to go back to sleep, but too early to do much, so she sashayed around the kitchen, cleaning it as she hummed.

Glancing at the clock some time later, her eyes widened as she saw how late it was getting. In record time, she was dressed at out the door, taking off down the road in her new dark grey car.

She arrived at the station with a good half hour to spare, and she made use of it by stopping by Tim's office knowing that it was too early for anyone else to come calling.

Still, she kept cautious, as in the station anything could happen, and she refrained from kissing him, instead choosing to lean up on his desk.

Tim was facing the door in his chair, as customary for offices, and Lucy was leaning up on the long side of the desk furthest away from the door, turned the opposite way from Tim so she was facing away from the door, but towards Tim.
A/n sorry if that position is hard to picture I described it as well as I could

He leaned back in his chair, folding his arms over his stomach and plastering a lazy smile on his handsome face.

"Good morning again, my short beauty," he drawled, his eyes twinkling at the new pet name. Lucy's eyebrows drew together, but her amused smile had Tim starstruck as he gazed up at her with so much love and admiration that Lucy felt as if she could burst.
