This one is kind of long but it had to be. For story purposes. Contains some swearing but by now you should know that already.

She gets out the taxi and practically runs to John who is sat at the window booth. He gets up to embrace her and she smiles against his chest. "Hey. Sorry I'm late." She whispers.

"It's Hookstraten. She'd manage to talk at her own funeral." He says this makes Hannah laugh.

"I'm so glad you only have to disclose a relationship once though."

They begin talking and one of the guys from the cafe comes over to them. "Hi. I'll be taking your order today."

"Hugo? What you doing here? Helping out another friend." John says.

"Nah. I'm working here most of the time. The clothing is just a part time thing."

"Okay. We will take a latte and an expresso shot. Also one chocolate donut, a sugar donut and a chocolate brownie they look good."

"Okay no problem." Hugo walks away and Hannah looks at John.

"Hugo helped me the day we had our date. I didn't know what to wear."

"You could have worn a sack and looked sexy John."

"Pretty sure I said the same thing to you."

"Maybe."

They eat their food and head to the parking lot where John parked. They stop at his car and Hannah stops. "I think I'm going to go home tonight." She says. John smiles and pulls her in for a hug.

"Do whatever you want. Although... I'm pretty sure I'll miss you." He says. Hannah pulls off him.

"I will miss you too but I've not been back and I'm sure my fridge needs sorting out. The milk has probably gone off. Also I need clothes, I know we've disclosed the relationship now but I've got like 3 outfits at your place and I'm ruling out the dress. I felt like a hippo." She says.

"I don't think I've ever found a hippo sexy before. There's a first time for everything." John says. "Do whatever you feel is best. Maybe in a couple of months we can think about being under 1 roof. Or am I moving too quickly?"

Hannah smiles. "Well you did say you'd marry me. I feel that'd be a step in the right direction. Shame on a couple of months though."

"Too long or short?" He says softly, messing with the ends of her hair she hums at the contact making him smile.

"Too long. Pretty sure I have to give a period of notice before I move out of my place. And before you give me the why can't I come to yours? My place is tiny. My room looks like a bomb hit it and my kitchen is small. Yours is a house." She says.

John doesn't say anything he just takes something out of his pocket and puts it in Hannah's jacket pocket. "Don't see what that is until you get home. Okay?"

"Okay." She says with a soft smile and a little chuckle. "Are you dropping me off?" She says.

John walks back to her from the car. He notices someone watching them. "Are you sure you want to go home?" He says taking her hand and holding it. He kisses her softly and whispers in her ear "I really think you should come back with me. There's someone watching us. That car came in the same time we did."

Hannah leans on him and looks at the car. "Blue BMW. Yeah I see it. Let's head back to the FBI building or somewhere public. I'll call one of the cops I know who can stop it for us, see what they are up to, any previous, known associates. We should leave the car too just incase anything is on it."
