I Like the Way You Wear Those Faded Blue Jeans

The next morning Steve and I got woken at 11:00 am by Brian in a panic.

“DUDE ZORAS…What the hell happened” Brian yelled
“What’s with the ruckus” I blinked trying to clear my eyes
“You two are in so much trouble when Grant and Jay find out” Brian said
“Hay love birds get up time to get going on the analysis” Grant called
“Wait they know you know” Brian called
“Um yeah they came to us last night” Grant said
“Steve you hurt her and I swear dude” Brian said
“Don’t worry I won’t hurt her” Steve staring at me with loving eyes
“Well just get and get ready” Brian said

Steve and I climbed out of bed that’s when I realized I had to go back to my room.

“Steve I gotta go back to my room and get dressed” I said
“Oh yeah well you go do that and then will get going” Steve smiled
“Okay” I said

I turned to leave then I turned on my heels and bolted back into the room crashing into Steve. I gave him a quick kiss and bolted out of the room and back to mine. I rummaged through my bag pulling out my black jeans, my TAPS shirt (god knows why but we wear them) and my black sneakers. I was pulling my hair back when there was a knock on the door.

“Zora can I come in” someone called
“Yeah sure” I called

Tango walked in the door and I ran straight at him.

“Tango” I screamed

I ran at him but this time he was ready. I caught me in his arms and I gave him a big hug.

“What are you doing here? Does Steve know? I missed you so much Jason and Grant pranked us and it wasn’t that funny” I said
“I managed to get away for the second case and Steve doesn’t know yet I wanted to see you first and why did they prank you?” Tango asked
“Ask them if you where there it may have been you” I said
“So where is everyone” Tango asked
“Steve is waiting for me in his room, Grant and Uncle J are in there room, Brian’s is down stairs wait for me and Steve and Donna and Andy are out and about” I said
“Okay so should we go and meet Steve” Tango said
“Let’s” I said

I took Tangos hand and pulled him down the hall to Steve’s room.

“Steve” I banged on his door “I found Tango”
“You found Tango” Steve said opening the door
“Yeah see” I said pulling Tango over
“Hay” Tango said waving
“Hay dude” Steve said “So does he know”
“I figured we should wait until Andy and Donna are around” I said
“Okay sounds good to me” Steve smiled

I took Steve’s hand in mine and walked down the hall way. Tango didn’t seem to notice. We got down stairs and Brian was walking around looking kinda lost.

“What’s the matter Brian you look a little lost” I grinned
“I was looking for something to do” Brian said
“How about you take off after Donna and Andy” I said “Tango, Brian and I will deal with the analysis”
“Are you sure” Brian said
“Yeah we all know what we’re doing” I said
“Okay I’ll leave you to it” Brian said “All the stuff is set up in the 3 floor board room”
“Thanks Brian” I hugged him

I took Steve’s hand again and followed by Tango we went to the 3 floor board room. On the way I felt as if though Tango was staring at mine and Steve’s hands. When we got to the room I motioned for Steve to go ahead.

“Tango why were you looking at me and Steve” I asked
“What are you waiting to tell the others” Tango asked
“I think we best go in to Steve first” I said

I walked in to the board room followed by Tango. I looked at Steve who nodded.

“Okay Tango Steve and I will tell you” I said

I walked over and sat on Steve’s lap. He placed his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder.

“I guess your dating” Tango said
“Yep your 100% correct” I smiled
“I hope this won’t come between us” Steve said
“Never” Tango smiled

I got off Steve’s lap and sat down in a chair next to him. I took the audio players while Steve took the DVRS and Tango worked on the thermal. We sat around going through all the evidence. I finished with the audio after about 13 hours and say 15 minutes.

“Hay Steve” I said tapping him on the shoulder
“What’s up” He said
“I’m done with the audio” I said
“Well I’m almost done here” Steve smiled
“I feel dirty so I’m going to go have a shower” I said
“Okay I’ll be up soon” Steve smiled
“Okay” I smiled

I gave Steve a quick kiss before running off. By the time we got done with the evidence it was midnight. I walked back to my room and picked up my pyjamas. I walked into the bathroom and placed my pyjamas on the counter walking back out to get my toiletry bag. As I was rummaging through my bag there was a knock on my door well more like 3 knocks. I walked over and opened it.

“Hay Uncle J” I smiled
“We have to talk” he said
“Okay” I smiled
“I need you to make an important decision” Uncle J said
“Decision on what” I asked
“We are heading over to Europe on a 3 week ghost chase” Uncle J said
“And what I need to decide on a location” I said
“On wether or not your coming with us” Uncle J said
“Of course I’m coming why wouldn’t I be” I asked confused
“Well I thought you might have wanted to stay with Steve” Uncle J said
“Why Steve would come with us” I said
“Wait he hasn’t told you” Uncle J said
“Told me what” I said
“I’ll leave that to him” Uncle J smiled

Uncle J left and I went to have my shower. The whole time I wondered what Steve wasn’t telling me. I was going to have a serious talk with him. I finished my shower and got dressed before heading to Steve’s room. I knocked on his door and waited for him to answer. A few minutes later Steve opened the door. He was hair was wet but drying quickly so I guessed he was in the shower.

“Steve what haven’t you told me” I said
“What do you mean” Steve asked
“Uncle J told me I had to make a decision on wether or not I was going to Europe” I said
“What does that have to do with me” Steve said
“He said I could go or stay here with you” I said
“Oh” Steve said rubbing the back of his neck
“Why would he say that” I asked
“Maybe I should make something clear” Steve said
“Please do” I said
“I’m scared of spiders, bugs and flying” Steve said
“Spiders, bugs, heights and flying” I said
“Yeah” Steve said
“The spiders, bugs and heights I under stand” I said “But the flying”
“About 9-10 years ago I had a really bad flight to my cousin wedding, the plane was all over the place I haven’t been able to fly since” Steve said
“Look I understand your fear of flying, when I was flying over to living with Uncle J there was a thunder storm I though the plane was going down” I said “But just because I had a bad flight doesn’t mean I don’t fly”
“You still fly” Steve said
“Yeah I do” I said
“How” Steve asked
“I take my I pod” I shrugged
“But you can’t listen to it during take off” Steve said
“I close my eyes and think of something else until we can use electronics then when landing I close my eyes and think of something else until we have safely touched ground” I smiled
“I’ll try for you but I can’t promise anything” Steve said
“If you can’t stay on the plane then I won’t either” I smiled
“I don’t want you to miss out” Steve said
“I don’t care I’ll only get yelled at if I go and your not there” I said
“But you’d miss seeing Barry” Steve said
“Stop trying to get me to go” I said
“Sorry” Steve said
