**Edit 5/1/18: changed Rogers first name.

"What do you think of this?" Kassidy asked Roni as she stepped out of the dressing room at the clothing store in the mall in a pair of jeans and a burgundy sweater.
"Its cute." Roni smiled "Now try this." Roni said and handed her a black dress and a pair of heels.
"Uh.. No." Kassidy said and shook her head.
"Oh come on it will look great on you!" Roni pleaded.
"I don't do dresses!" Kassidy hissed "And I would break my neck in these."
"Just humor me." Roni said. Kassidy sighed and rolled her eyes and closed the dressing room door and took off the clothes she had on and put on the dress and heels.
"Come on lets see it." Roni said.
"I look like a fucking idiot Roni." Kassidy groaned and looked at herself in the mirror It wasn't too bad, its just she never wore anything like this before. She never had a reason too. She rolled her eyes and opened the dressing room door and stepped out
"Damn!" Roni smirked and took Kassidy's hat off of her and fixed her hair a little.
"Are you two finding anything?" Rogers asked walking up. He took one look at Kassidy and the coffee he had in his hand went to the floor. The black dress was form fitting and he could see all of the curves the she normally hid under jeans and over sized shirts. Her blonde curls cascaded around her bare shoulders and she was definitely a sight to see.
"You okay over there detective?" Kassidy asked with a smirk
"Uh. Yeah.." Rogers said and tried to avert his eyes.
"Yeah. No. I'm sticking with the jeans and sweater." Kassidy said and walked back into the dressing room.
"I saw that detective." Roni smirked as she helped him clean up the coffee he spilled on the floor.
"Saw what?" Rogers asked.
"You were totally checking her out in that dress" Roni grinned. Rogers blushed.
"No. I just.. Haven't seen her in a dress." He said defensively.
"Mmhm." Roni said and put her hands on her hips.
"Don't go there." Rogers said.
"Go where?" Roni asked.
"I don't have feelings for Kassidy." Rogers whispered.
"For the record Detective, I didn't go there. But you did so it's clear you do have feelings for our favorite little mischief maker." Roni said and gave him a sly smile. Rogers rolled his eyes.
"Either way, it's really nice what you are doing for her letting her stay with you, buying her clothes."
"Well.. she only has the one outfit and I came home yesterday to her wearing one of my tee shirts and a pair of my boxers because her clothes were in the wash."
Roni laughed at his discomfort. That had to have been awkward. Kassidy walked out of the dressing room.
"Did you find some clothes?" Rogers asked. Kassidy nodded.
"Yes, and as soon as I put this back in the Hookers R Us section we can go." Kassidy smirked and held up the black dress.
"Oh. Let me." Roni said and took the dress and walked away with it giving Rogers a wink as she left.
"What was that about?" Kassidy asked.
"Oh just..Roni being Roni. It's nothing." Rogers shrugged.
"You really didn't have to do this. You already gave me your spare bedroom." Kassidy smiled.
"You need more clothes."
"I don't know detective yours work nicely too." Kassidy said walking past him and then smirking over her shoulder at his face turning red.

Kassidy sat on the couch in sipping at tea and watching the Investigation Discovery channel. She had been living with Rogers for almost a month now and found herself excited when 5PM rolled around because that usually meant he was coming home soon. She missed him when he was gone and she knew that the Detective was chipping away at the walls she had worked so hard to build to keep him at a distance, she didn't want to get hurt again, but something about him made her feel, safe and comfortable. If he said he was going to be there, he was and that was something she never got with Will. Everything was wild, and chaotic with Will and at the time, she thought it was what she wanted but she didn't. Living with Rogers made her realize this. She liked the feeling of being safe and she liked being in an environment where she felt she had more control even if she was stuck here most of the day alone. she didn't seem to mind it so much anymore because she knew every day, without fail he was coming home, and like clockwork, he strolled through the door. Kassidy greeted him with a smile which he returned and then looked at the TV.
"Again with this?" he asked.
"I love this channel! It's so interesting you should watch it with me." Kassidy suggested.
"I live it, love. No need to watch it." He chuckled and walked into the kitchen.
"What..is this?" He asked and picked up a pot from stove.
"Oh!" Kassidy said and walked into the kitchen. "I was watching the food channel earlier and you always cook for me so I figured I'd try to cook for you." She said. "Don't eat it. It's terrible." She laughed.
"You've been busy today." He smirked.
"I'm starting to get a little restless." Kassidy shrugged. "I'm used to being out and about. I just feel like I should be doing something."
"Well, as soon as I get the people who tried to grab you behind bars you can go out and about on your own again. I'm trying, it's just they are hard people to track down."
"I understand." Kassidy said and gave him a small smile.
"Here I picked this up for you." Rogers said and handed her a bag. Kassidy opened the bag and pulled out a cellphone.
"A phone??" She asked.
"Aye. I figure incase something happens you have a way of contacting me. My numbers already in there. Weavers too if you can't get ahold of me for whatever reason. I put you on my plan so please don't call china." He smirked. Kassidy laughed
"I won't. I don't speak chinese..however I do speak french." Kassidy grinned.
"Do not call france!"
"I was kidding. Relax." Kassidy smiled. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Rogers said returning her smile.
