"I can't live. With or without you"

"You need to get up.  You're going to be late for work".  Derek told Anita as he looked down at her.

Anita was wrapped up in blankets on the bed, groaning as she finally opened her eyes again and looked up at him innocently. "But I'm still sleepy". She whined. "Why don't you have a job? I'm tired of doing all the work". Anita complained.

Derek chuckled as he grabbed a grey t-shirt and started to put it on.

Anita sat up in bed and groaned. "Nooo, don't put a shirt on".  Anita sat up on her knees, leaning forward as she grabbed at the bottom of his shirt, trying to pull it back up.

Derek looked at her with amusement, his smile meeting his eyes.  "You don't want me to wear a shirt?"  He asked in faux shock.

Anita giggled and shook her head.  "Nope".

"Nope?"  Derek asked as Anita continued to pull at the shirt with a nod.

"Okay".  Derek yanked at the shirt, pulling it off as he through it on the bed before leaning closer to Anita, capturing her lips before he pushed her back down on the bed gently.

Anita giggled again as she rested her hands on his now bare chest.  "I have to get to work". 

Derek shook his head.  "You weren't complaining a second ago".  And then he started to kiss down her jawline.

Anita stood at the counter, with a bundle of files under one arm, against her chest while holding a pen in another. She was waiting by Parrish as he was giving Argent and Derek back their stuff.

She needed Parrish to look over some forms and sign as he forgot to do so earlier, but she could have done it later but she wanted to see Derek.  She looked over at him with a hidden smile.  Derek, who felt her eyes on him looked over as well and smiled slightly, not wanting to get caught by either Argent or Parrish.

"Sorry, but I can't let you walk out with this". Parrish looked to Argent as he held the taser in his hands. "It's way above the legal voltage limit".

"I only use it for hunting". Argent told Parrish.

As Anita and Derek held eye contact. Anita lipped; "hunting you" to Derek causing him to run his hand over his mouth to hide his smile. Derek then looked over to Argent with a bored expression.

"Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure you could use it to jump-start a 747". Parish said.

"This property belongs to me and the charges were dropped". Argent then looked over to Derek. "Although, I'm not exactly sure whose responsible for that"

Anita looked over to her side, seeing Stilinski walk in and stand beside her while turning to Argent.

"I am". Stilinski then looked to Parrish. "I'll take care of this, Parrish".

"Sheriff, I'm not kidding this rings a few watts from being a lightsaber". Parrish told him.

Anita looked down, holding back a laugh from his comment. When she looked back up she saw Derek looking at her again with the same look he did earlier.

He was going to be the death of her.

"I said I'll take care of it". Stilinski grabbed it and closed it before turning to Argent and Derek. "A word". Stilinski told them as he headed to his office. Argent following as Derek gave one last look to Anita before passing her.
