A/N: I'm SO sorry for the long delay. I was out of town in a summer vacation and there was no way to access the internet, thus no updating. Also the chapter is not long; very short actually. Not having much time to write either /

And I have made my mind... I hate Christina. I'm gonna make her suffer.

Anyways, keep reading and reviewing yo!

"Jealousy is all the fun you think they had"

"Robert Coleman?" Lilly asked at the suspicious man standing on the door and at the man's careful nod she went on, "Rush and Valens, homicide department." Both showed their credentials.

"Homicide...? What do you want?"

"Ask a few questions about your daughter, Sana."

If he didn't look surprise by Lilly and Scotty's visit, he definitely looked now, hearing his long time dead daughter's name after so many years. "What about her?"

"Do you mind if we come in?" Scotty asked mentioning with his head to the house. "I think it'd be more comfortable."

Robert Coleman was silent for a little while, as he apparently thought of what to say and with Lilly and Scotty knowledge of these situations he was most likely thinking about some excuse to send them away. Not finding any, he nodded and let the detectives pass through.

Scotty, always the gentleman, let Lilly get in first and followed right after inside.

"I don't believe in him." Lilly said as soon as they were out of earshot from 'Robbie' Coleman.

"I ain't buying it either." Scotty said back, putting his notepad inside the pocket of his suit. "He never gave a shit about his daughter and 10 years later he has a sudden interest in her?"

"Weird..."

"To say the least." He grinned at her and she grinned back, her blue eyes wavering when they met his brown ones, and right then Lilly felt a spark of some sort ignite inside her, starting in the bottom of her belly and lightening fast reaching her cheeks. She could feel them burning and was sure they were reddening.

She quickly looked down and cleared her throat to avert his attention. "We gotta look into it. Maybe we will get something from the mother."

He didn't reply at immediately, as he caught her off character again. It had been like that all day but then he didn't know what had happened to cause that. It could very well be a fight with her sister, or worse... -as much as he didn't want to admit- it could be PMS. Scotty had lived with a woman long enough to know the horrible out coming of that monthly nightmare.

Scotty shook his head and tried with all his mighty to shove the smile that was threatening to break back to where it belonged, which wasn't very successful because Lilly noticed.

"What?" She was intently looking at him, a frown on her face, but the slight up of her lips evident that she wanted to smile too.

"Nothing." He shrugged it off, trying to sound nonchalant. "Just thinking about stuff."

"Must be pretty good stuff. You looked amused."

He faced her, a slight trace of mischief in his eyes and he smirked. "I was." He nodded and noticed they had already reached the car.

Lilly smiled, but she tried to hide her amused face though. If he wanted to be mysterious she would let him be, after all, Lilly was a pretty mysterious person too, she admitted. It was fun, though, these little games, the smiles and knowing looks, the you'll-know-about-me-when-I-want-you-to thing, which was working pretty well. So far.

"Would rather walk?"

Lilly focused her eyes on him and noticed surprised that Scotty had walked to the other side of the car and had opened the door. She gave him face and muttered, as she opened her own door, "Very funny."

But it was to him. She missed the smirk he couldn't stop from coming.

Lilly tried to stifle a yawn with her hand but it still worked its way out, the sound reaching Scotty's ear, making him turn to look just when she stretched her arms behind her head. She was clearly very tired. She didn't seem to notice him watching her for she rubbed her eyes and closed them for a few seconds as she left her head rest on her hand.

Suddenly she opened her eyes and sat upright, looking as if she realized she was dozing off. She glanced at Scotty, who quickly looked away, trying to hide his smirk, then back at the papers she was reading. With a heavy sigh she got up and gathered her things. "I think I'm gonna head home."

Scotty was tempted to look at his watch and see how long it took for her to finally admit it was time to go home. She had been working on this case harder then the rest of the team, longer even. When everyone left to go home, she stayed in the department working. Scotty wouldn't admit to her of course, but he gave her the excuse of looking into something of the case just to stay with her, so she wouldn't gave to be here alone.

As time was ticking by and Lilly gave no sign of going home, Scotty made a bet with himself, to see how long she would work, till how late.

"You know," He started, getting up too. "I think I'm going home too. I'm beat."

She gave him a small smile and waited for Scotty to gather his own things so they could walk out together. The walk was short and quiet, but just Scotty's company was enough to lull her into a calm feeling and sort of warming too. As stupid as this could be, she actually enjoyed his presence. It came to an end though, when they reached their cars, parked side by side.

"See you tomorrow, Lil." Scotty said, unlocking his door.

Lilly smiled and unlocked her door too. "See you tomorrow."

Scotty smile back and waited until she was safely inside the car to turn his engine on and drive away.

Lilly waved goodbye as he went and soon followed, leaving the parking lot and heading home. The thought of home soon broke through her mind and it made her remember Chris was there. Unconsciously it took her to the fight they had and how things were bad between them, how it always seemed to be bad. She hoped Chris was asleep so Lilly could work on her troubled mind and her feelings, on why Chris dating Scotty was bothering her so much, besides she wouldn't have to face her when Lilly got home. She was sure they would end up fighting more and sure enough Lilly didn't need that.

And maybe she could make that weird and somewhat annoying tingle of having Scotty around go away. And why it bothered her so much the simple fact Chris was dating Scotty.

She wasn't jealous. She wasn't jealous at all.

Right?
