Stellaride behind the flames

Putting the past behind me pt 1

Kelly's pov: it was a couple days since the firemen died and chief lets everybody know to look out and look after each other and make sure they know that you were there for them if they need it. Truck 81 just got back my car I wanted to see how Herman is doing since recent events affected him the most. I don't wanna come off as a bad friend so look for Stella but I couldn't find her so I text her to come to my office. I see her come in so I set on my desk and then smile at her while she smiles back at me.
S= hey what did you need
K= come and close the door
S= what is this a booty call or what
K= no you wish
S= whatever you wish but what did you need
K= how did the call go I heard it was pretty bad. Also how is Herman doing
S= well the kid got knocked over by a tree while he was riding his bike so someone watched it happen called it in. We got them out I am hopeful the boy is going to be OK just Weights A lot on Herman
K= just keep doing what you're doing stay close
S= that's my plan
K= he'll be OK
( she's leaving she brings her hands to touch his chin and Kelly tries to grab her hands before she lets go of his chin)
K= hey hey
S= yes
( Kelly gets up and stands in front of his door blocking Stella from leaving his office)
K= I had a thought
( he leans in to give her a passionate kiss and then she pulls away from the kiss for a second)
S= that's funny I had the same thought
(They lean in and kiss for about a minute more when somebody knocks on the door. They both pulled away and was taking a breath to prepare themselves to open the door to see who was outside.)
R= hi
K= hey
R= Connie told me to just knock on the door I hope that's OK I am Renee I am an old friend of Kelly's
S= yes good to good to meet you
K= sorry I didn't introduce you before this is Stella my girlfriend
R= well it's very good to meet you Stella I'm just wanna follow up on the refinery case I can come back if it's not a good time
S= no no no no. Talk oil refinery I got a driver side compartment to do so yes I'll see you around
R= I hope so
S= yea

Stella pov once once I walked away from Kelly's office and smiling because he finally introduce me to his ex-girlfriend but that's not why I'm smiling it's because the way he introduces me to her he said I was his girlfriend. Yeah I know we are dating and stuff but we haven't use labels yet because that is not who Kelly is. But when he did that it shocked me so now I got to do something special for him now. About 15 minutes later I was done doing what I was doing and I see Kelly and Renee walking outside and talking for a second so I walk away so I don't interrupt them.

 Kelly's pov: after actually named me talk to my office for a bit I let her outside toward her car. We stopped for a few seconds she said her goodbyes and left. As Renee is leaving I hear something shut so I look over and I see Stella walking back inside the firehouse so I go follow her until I hear somebody call out to me.
G= Lieutenant
K= grizz hey what's up
G= The full court press
K= sorry
G= that's the description I kept hearing about how you pushed Boden into his quest for commissioner that he didn't even have the idea if it wasn't for you and why would he? A battalion chief
K= grizz I didn't think that you were after the job
G= you knew he wasn't but that didn't stop you from seeing his place to every white shirt who would listen. It's not his time OK it's my time and let me tell you something old friend you're going to wish you haven't stab me in the back

Kelly's pov: once grizz walk away i'm like what the fuck is this guy saying I didn't stop him in the back. First off I didn't know he wanted to go out for the job until the funeral and second me and Matt did all this before he said he was going out for the job.

                                                                  The end of shift.
Me and Stella are getting changed and getting ready to leave when my phone starts blowing up with text
K= my dad now sent me two messages about Grissom and how personally he's taking all this
S= for tough guy firefighters they got pretty thin skin
K= it's not like I don't appreciate everything Grissom did for me when I was coming up
S= but the past is in the past and this is about right now and boden is the right man for the job simple as that
K= yeah
S= look we got to get your mind off this so why don't you let your girlfriend ply you with sports and alcohol tonight there's a great dive over by Herman's and I always got the cubbies on TV.
K= all right now we're talking
S= okay
K= hey do you mind if we do it later maybe around nine? I have to meet one night after she's done work to talk over the case.
S= sure is it weird at all seen her again I mean we don't have to talk about it I just
K= no it's a bit weird I guess but it was a long time ago
S= and the passes in the past
K= yes ancient history
S= ok
(They walk out to the cars and say goodbye for now and he says text me later)

Kelly's pov I still can't believe I use the word girlfriend earlier I know me and Stella are dating but I've never been the guy to say the labels out loud like girlfriend. But I think she liked that I called her that because she used it when we were talking and it's kind of cute

Stella pov: I am In my car driving home and worried about Kelly because Grizz is making Kelly feeling Bad that he endorsed Boden for the commissioner job not his mentor along time ago. But we all know here at the firehouse that bone is a white man for the job. He says that him and Renee are in the past and I believe him and all but I just don't believe Renee because she just doesn't seem like she cares if he is in a relationship or not which scares me but I'm gonna watch out for her.
