Chapter Text
"Oh, and there is one more rule," Jake added mock seriously, standing in front of her in his ridiculous tux and shorts combo, "no matter what happens, you're not allowed to fall in love with me,"
Amy resisted rolling her eyes. "Won't be a problem," she told him, exasperatedly, but with a smile all the same.
"Well in that case, milady," Jake opened the passenger car door for her, and offered her his hand, "let the worst date in your life begin,"
With her smiling widening, no matter how much she tried to suppress it, she took his hand as she hopped into his cheese smelling car.
"And I appreciate you turning down the relief team," Holt told her, as she stood in his office the next morning after her and Jake's date/stakeout. "I'm not sure they could've made that bust."
Amy frowned for a moment, quickly catching herself before she asked, 'what relief team?'
"Yeah. Right... the relief team," she replied, wondering why Jake would've turned them down without telling her, hadn't their stakeout been the reason he'd lost all his money on his many attempts to embarrass her.
"So, sorry you lost so much money last night," she said to Jake, as she sat back at her desk; she found herself watching him closely, Jake would never voluntarily turn down an opportunity to embarrass her, that was the whole basis of their relationship. "Guess you can add it to your list of bad dates," she added, half jokily.
"Nah, it still goes on the list of good dates," he said, not looking at her, and she found her heart fluttering in a way it hadn't before, at least not in response to Jake. "You know," he said, looking over at her, "because we caught the bad guys."
"That's very mature of you," she said, her eyes still locked on Jake, and a thought suddenly flitted across her mind: Is there a problem?
"Well I am a very mature man," Jake responded, moments before a male stripper, ordered by Jake for Amy, came and attempted to give Amy a lap dance. Jake jumped between the two of them, shielding Amy.
Nope, not a problem, she decided.
Not yet.
