A Linstead Life

First Day Back

Erin's POV
Today was our first day back at work since me and Jay got together. We had spent the whole weekend in my apartment, mostly sitting on my couch tangled up in each other's arms. It was the best weekend I have ever had. As my eyes slowly opened to the warm Chicago sunshine poking, through my partially opened blinds in my bedroom, I turned my head to look at the clock on my bed side table. The red numbers flashed up. "05:30". I dropped my head back down onto my pillow a little too hard as I heard Jay starting to stir beside me. I carefully sat up desperately trying not to wake Jay, as after all he is not the one that can't sleep because he is to excited to get back to work, I pushed my legs out of bed and down to touch the cold wooden floor of my apartment. Just as I was about to stand up I felt Jays warm hands snake around my waist and pull me back into bed, causing me to erupt into a fit of giggles. "Where do you think you are going?" He purred into my ear before kissing me down the side of my neck and then back up to my lips."Nowhere now." I replied with a massive grin on my face. I felt his hand gently brushing a strand of hair off my face "Good morning." was all he said "Morning." I said in return. as we just lay there, I was the first to break the comfortable silence, "Jay, I'm so excited to go back to work today" I stated. "Ohh I know, you have been tossing and turning in the bed for the last half hour" he said whilst smiling. "Sorry I didn't mean to wake you" I replied shyly. " Hey... It's fine." Jays answered before placing his finger under my chin and planting a soft kiss on my lips. "Breakfast?" He offered, and I nodded in reply. as Jay got out of bed and pulled on his boxers I couldn't help but stare at his perfectly toned body "I have told you before Lindsay, it's rude to stare." he said whilst laughing and walking out of my room.

Jay's POV
I walked into Erin's kitchen and I put the coffee maker on and then started plodding around gathering all the ingredients I required to make scrambled eggs on toast. As I pushed the bread down into the toaster and moved back over to the cooker to scramble the eggs I felt a pair of small hands rub against my lower back and then snake around my waist. I covered her hands, on my stomach, with my free hand and traced circle patterns on them, as she planted a long line of kiss down my back. I pulled Erin in front of me and changed position with her so I was now standing behind her with my arms round her waist whilst she was cooking. As I brushed her hair to one side I planted kisses on her neck "Have I told you how beautiful you are?" I mumble against her neck."You have" she replies whilst simultaneously turning round so that we are facing each other. "but I am not going to stop you telling me again" she continues with a wicked grin on her face causing me to smile and gently press my lips to hers. We both jumped when the toaster popped and the toast jumped out. We both laughed at our idiotic actions and then I moved over to get the toast whilst Erin served the eggs. Once we had finished eating we put our plates in the sink and went to get ready. 15 minutes later we were ready and heading out to get the car.

Erin's POV
We or should I say I drove to the precinct with both of us sitting in silence, occasionally stealing glances at each other. When we arrived at district 21 we climbed the stairs in sync but slowly moving further apart not to cause any suspicion. As we entered the district Jay and I were a socially appropriate distance apart, since we were just "friends" and all. As we walked past the patrol man Platt greeted me like always "Hi Erin. How are you today?" I smiled at Platt and told her I was good and I asked how she was. She gave me a simple nod and a smile so I continued up the stairs to where Jay was waiting for me holding the gate open for with a cheeky grin on his face "Shut up Halstead" I stated. he put his hands up in surrender "I didn't even say anything." he whined sarcastically. So I punched him in the arm playfully and walked upstairs to my desk.

Jays POV
I walked upstairs into the pen chuckling to myself, and went and sat down at my desk. today was pretty uneventful, mostly spent catching on our paperwork from before Christmas as well as me, Atwater, Ruzek and Antonio seeing who's chair would spin the fastest. A 100 cups of coffee and 6 hours later all the paperwork was finished and the chair-Olympics were complete so Voight sent everyone home for the night.

Erin's POV
I sat in my car outside the precinct and waited for Jay come out. a couple of minutes later he came out and walked over to my car and stood at my window. "My place, beer and pizza." I offered. He looked at me and smiled "We are partners your dad might not like that" he said cockily "haha your hysterical my place half an hour...ohhh and bring the pizza" I said whilst rolling up the window and driving off.

Jay's POV
I was suppose to be going to Erin's in half and hour but I had left my car at Molly's since I went to Erin's on Christmas Eve as I had been drinking and it was only a 15 minute jog to Erin's. as I reached Molly's I jumped in my car and drove to get the pizza. By the time I waited at Erin's favourite Italian I was now running late. When I got to Erin's I knocked on the door with the pizza in the other hand. Erin opened the door just enough for me to see her face but not enough so I could get in "Your late" she stated "just leave the pizza there and go" she said with a wicked grin. "haha" I said sarcastically and pushed the door to open so I could get in. I walked over to her coffee table and sat the pizza down and then I walked over to Erin's fridge where she was already standing. I took one of the beers out of her hands and pulled her into a tight hug and gave her a kiss and we walked over to her couch in silence and watched a movie for the rest of the night.
