------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

El and Maggie knows each other since little more than a year now. It was about the same time that she started to date Matt.

The day started easy at the hospital, just a couple of routine consults and nothing out of the extraordinary, but then the news report showed that the NCPD was on a persecution that ended up with open fire in the bare street, that left three people injured, two grownups and a child.

Because they were the nearest hospital, they were the responsible of taking in these people, and because she was the only pediatric doctor on shift (it is a small hospital), she was the one who took care of the little kid who had a bullet on her leg. It wasn't mortal, but it was pretty ugly for a 6 years old kid.

Before take Sarah (the kid) to surgery, Elise tried to find her parents, but they were nowhere to be found, and that's when a detective of the NCPD asked for Sarah.

El explained to Maggie how is the process of the surgery, so as long as the surgery took, El stayed with Maggie in the waiting room. El isn't the one for making friends out of the blue (so isn't Maggie), but the talk was easy with the detective and before they know it, the parents of the little girl were there and Sarah was out of the operation room safe and sound.

After that time they kept finding each other, till almost without knowing, they were kind of friends.

She was remembering all of this because Maggie was packing up and leaving the apartment. She felt like a mom watching her kid going to the University.

''Just for your sake, I know that the Alex thing isn't a possibility anymore. I know, I should date, but I really don't want that now'' Maggie says putting the last piece of cloth on the suitcase.

''I still don't know why is that relevant with you moving out'' El says crossing her arms over her chest, standing against the door frame of the bedroom.

''I need to move on, El. You have seen the new apartment, it's awesome and close to the station, besides, you need your place back to be with Matt. I've been bothering for long enough'' Maggie says as she cheeks that all of her stuff it's on the suitcases. The same two that she brought the very first day.

''You know it isn't like that'' El says walking towards Maggie ''I'm gonna miss you so much'' she says hugging her friend.

''I'm gonna miss you too'' They stay like this for a few moments and then Maggie walks away a little ''I have to go, they are giving me the keys in half an hour''

''Let me help you with that'' El says gesturing to the suitcases and she grabs one of it. They walk all the way to Maggie's car in silence, when they reach it, El speaks ''Call me so I can help you with the rest of your stuff, okay?''

''Of course. Tell Matt that I say thanks'' El nods and Maggie hugs her.

''Coffee on Friday?'' El asks.

''Friday it is'' Maggie smiles and gets into the car.

-:D-

El was already at the coffee shop when she sees Maggie rushing in and look for her. When she spots her, she hurries up to the table.

''I'm so sorry! I kinda felt asleep'' Maggie says giving El a quick hug.

''Yeah, yeah. And for that you are paying'' Maggie opens her mouth to complain but El cuts her ''and our coffee is ready for you to pay for it on the counter right there'' she says gesturing towards the counter.

''I'm only doing this just because you didn't let me pay the rent for the months I was at your place'' Maggie says standing up.

''You know what?'' El says and Maggie stops abruptly with a questioning look in her face ''It's Matt's apartment now too'' El says blushing.

''YES! I knew it! It took you so long to ask him to move in with you! I'm so happy!'' Maggie says smiling and hugging her friend ''Congratulations!''

'The dimples are back!'

''Thanks, Detective Dimples'' El says chuckling.

''You call me that again and you are buying the coffee'' Maggie says and El shows her the middle finger and Maggie pretends to be offended ''and for that, I'm asking you a question before get the coffee''

''Kinda don't like you, you know?'' El says resting her chin on her hands ''ask me''

"You left me thinking the other time" Maggie says sitting on the chair in front of El.

"How's that?" El asks confused.

"Remember the time that I left those messages on Alex's phone? When Matt and I got drunk?" Maggie asks.

"How could I not?" El shakes her head and Maggie smiles.

"You told me that you called Kara" El nods, still waiting for the question "I know you know each other, but I didn't know you were friends"

"We are not friends" El says "We just exchanged numbers the day you and Alex announced your engagement" El shrugs.

"But, why?"

"Cause I knew I was going to be your bridesmaid" El says it like it was the obvious thing.

"But I didn't asked you to be my bridesmaid at that time" Maggie laughs.

"Oooh stop pretending you have another best friend like me because we both know you haven't" El says throwing at her a ball of napkin paper. Maggie dodges that easily.

"Shut up"

"Anyway, you asked me and then we started planning your whole wedding with Kara and that's when we became kinda friends" El shrugs again.

''Interesting'' Maggie says standing up.

"Now you have your answer. Mags I'm hungry. Go get my damn coffee'' El says pushing Maggie away.

You know these moments when it seems that everything around you it's happening in slow motion? Well, that's happening to El right now.

She sees Maggie turning around with her huge smile all dimples and gloriously bumping into this woman carrying a coffee that ended all over the mentioned woman's button up.

''Oh my God! I'm so sorry!'' Maggie says grabbing a bunch of napkins and put it on the other woman's chest.

''It's okay, I wasn't paying attention'' The other woman says smiling.

''It isn't okay. I didn't see you. I was busy fighting with my friend here'' Maggie says pointing at El.

''Oh shut up'' El says looking at the woman

''Why don't you sit with us? Maggie there is buying my coffee because she was late, now she is buying yours too'' El says with her evil smile ''I'm Elise, by the way'' she says giving her hand to the woman, the last taking it immediately.

''I'm Maddie'' she says smiling. El sees Maggie staring at Maddie and hits her with her elbow on Maggie's ribs, gaining the look form her.

''Oh yes! I'm Maggie'' She says as introduction ''and apparently, I'm buying you coffee'' Maggie smiles and the other woman mirrors her.

''It seems like it, yes'' Maddie keeps smiling ''Shall we?'' she says pointing their way to the counter.

''After you'' Maggie says and Maddie starts walking towards the counter.

Maggie turns around to look at El that currently she was doing obscene gestures with her hands.

''You little shit'' Maggie mouths, walking behind Maddie.

''Stop loving me!''
