Fall in Love in a Coffee Shop

Fifth Cup

Work for Chase consisted mostly of security more than actual EOD. He had to switch between the airport, museums, and high clearance buildings for the government. Today came as a surprise, he was introduced to his new partner. A new up and coming bomb dog. The local GSD rescue had a new litter of puppies that were 10 weeks old and ready to start finding homes. Law enforcement got first to pick due to the need for new K-9 units. Many of the current dogs were retiring. It was going to be a lot of work, but Chase was excited.

Once at work, the pups were brought in. Of course, everyone wished to keep them all but only a few showed potential for the PD group. Chase smiled down at the almost solid black, extra fluffy little girl now napping in his lap. She was the first one to come straight to him. They used a series of tests to check the temperaments and skills. She was very active and attentive. "What are you gonna name her?" Elliot crossed his arms leaning against the door frame of the room.

Chase smiled up from the pup, "Not sure yet..." he twisted his mouth back and forth in thought.

Elliot smirked deviously, "Name her after your girlfrienddddd!!!" he made kissy faces at his friend, teasing him.

Narrowing his eyes and throwing a squeaky toy at Elliot, "Shut up jackass! She's not my girlfriend." Yet. He finished in his head. This made Elliot laugh even harder. Shaking his head, he pet the soft pup, "But that does give me an idea of a name." Her floppy ears sprung back and forth as he pet her. "Mocha." Her head popped up at the word, then he repeated "Mocha?" her head tipped from side to side in curiosity. It was settled.

"You're hopeless..." Elliot shook his head and knelt to pet the pup as well. "When are you gonna tell her, man?" He looked at his friend, "You are always over there. We have seen the way you look at each other. Hurry the Hell up!!" Elliot stood with a skip and strode out of the room, "Before some asshole does!!!" he called out as he went.

Chase rolled his eyes and stood up as well, "Maybe we should go pay her another visit." Pulling out his phone he opened up the camera and took a selfie with Mocha in his arms. Then sent it to Serenity: 'Meet your new Mascot! Mocha!'

A few minutes later his phone vibrated. Serenity had sent him a reply: 'OMG! SO CUTE! I wanna pet her!' This was his chance to ask her out. Typing back almost too eagerly 'Then how about a date tonight?' After sending he bit his lip, curious to see her response. She had given him her number, so there was something there. This time took longer for her to reply. After about an hour he had gone back to some paperwork that had been piling up. Finally, his phone buzzed again: 'Sorry!! Had a huge group come in!' He smiled and another text came through, 'I get off at 5.' and her address.

Chase was beyond excited, 'See you then!' He flicked his wrist to see his watch. It wasn't even noon yet. Knowing this caused him to groan a bit; the next few hours would torture him. Deciding the best thing to do would be to finish his paperwork, to took Mocha out to piddle and got busy.

Chase, Elliot, and Zane grabbed lunch and joked around like they always did. But today they were ruthless. "So, you think you're gonna get some finally?" Zane wiggled an eyebrow at him, taking a bite of his chicken sandwich. Zane was always telling him to get laid.

Chase gave him a death glare, "Fuck you. No. She isn't like that and you know it. She's sweet." But his mind always wandered down those dark paths, wondering what she felt like. What kind of sounds she would make, how she tasted, her lips and her- "GAH!" chase shook his head violently. He shouldn't think like that. Sure, he had gotten to know her a little, but there was still a lot he didn't know. He just couldn't stop thinking about her. "It's our first date. And I am a gentleman. And a cop."

Elliot smiled and gave a Chase a big slap on the back, "We are fucking with you. So...what kind of date?"

Chase had thought it through, he wanted it to be simple and quiet. Just the two of them so they had a better chance to get to know each other. "Thinking about making her dinner, watching a movie at my place." He continued eating, "She has been working since 5 AM...if not earlier...I want her to be relaxed and not have to fuss with going out to a crowded place while she is exhausted."

The two friends nodded in approval, "We're glad you finally are looking into a relationship, bro. You've been so focused on work we never saw this coming." Zane said with a soft smile. Not something Chase expected from him. "She seems like a Hell of a girl."

"AND HER FRIEND IS HOT TOO!" Elliot chimed in with a goofy grin. He had been eyeing Lily lately. Chase shook his head and the trio continued to bicker and joke.
