Into The Blue || Blue Bloods Fanfiction

16; She's Mine

It had been a few days since Noelle told Jamie the whole truth about Jimmie and Jamie had confided in her about everything he knew so far about the Blue Templar.

He had put that investigation on hold for the moment while they concentrated on Jimmie, and when he wasn't out protecting the streets, he was by her side protecting her. He never wanted to leave her alone, he would be stuck to her like glue while she was at work if he could.

He did call her as often as he could, which is why she wasn't that surprised when her phone went off while she was walking down the hall heading for her office. She smiled when she saw his picture pop up, then placed the phone against her ear as she called out a friendly greeting.

"Hey, how's it going?" Jamie questioned.

"You mean in the last ten minutes since you followed me to work?" Noelle asked back.

He chuckled at her joke. "Okay, yes, I know I'm being overprotective."

"A little bit," she said. "But I'm not complaining. I'm glad I have you by my side, Jams."

"That's the only place I want to be, Nol," he said honestly.

She smiled at his words. As terrified as she was, she had to admit it felt nice knowing she had Jamie to lean on. She was still scared that Jimmie would do something to him, but he reassured her several times over the past few days that he could handle it. He almost wished Jimmie would come after him instead, then he knew she would be safe from his terrorizing, and not to mention he would love the chance to take him down and slap handcuffs on him.

"But just so you know, I didn't just call to check on you, I also wanted to double-check that you're off tomorrow, right?" he questioned.

"Yeah, I'm off." She nodded her head, even though he couldn't see.

"Good." He smiled. "That means you can come to Sunday dinner then."

"Hmm, and why should I come to Sunday dinner?" she questioned as she pretended to think about it.

"Well, for one, I want you there...I want to see you, I want to spend time with you..." he said, listing out a couple of reasons.

"You've been seeing a lot of me lately," she pointed out, referring to the fact that he had stayed over at her place the last few nights, not that she was complaining. "Does this mean you're not growing tired of me?"

He laughed at her comment. "Nol, I've known you since we were kids. If I haven't grown tired of you yet, I don't think it's going to happen."

"Good to know." She grinned. "So, I'm coming around to the idea of dinner; any other way to tempt me?"

"Well, let's see, I do still owe you cupcakes," he stated, reminding her of when he promised to buy her some after she agreed to the boxing lesson recently.

"So, wait, let me get this straight..." She came to a stop in the hallway a few doors from her office. "You're going to go to my favorite bakery just to buy cupcakes if I come to dinner?"

"Actually, no." He laughed. "But I will grab cupcakes from the place near dad's. They're pretty good."

"Hmm, okay, not bad." She began to walk again. "Especially since I was going to go anyways."

"Very sneaky, Nol. I don't know if I should be mad you tricked me or impressed." After she laughed at his joke, he added seriously, "But I am glad you're coming. The family misses you, plus this way they can bug you with the questions."

"What questioned?" she asked confused.

"Questions about us," he answered.

"Oh," she breathed out. She shouldn't have been surprised that his family was asking questions, most of them knew they went on a date recently. She couldn't help but wonder what he told them since they haven't had the talk yet to define their relationship.
