After that night you didn't know what to do, you tried to play it off cool in work just be civil with Colin so you could get on with your job, but you never spoke about the kiss or anything since then you felt colins eyes on you again.

You needed a breather so you went outside for a cigarette, something you rarely did only when you were stressed a cigarette would calm you down, placing the stick to your lips lighting the end taking a long drag letting the nicotine fill your lungs before exhaling it with a sigh.

You stared at the parking lot ahead of you blankly a thousand thoughts ran through your head, "y/n" a voice startling you giving them your undivided attention seeing Colin standing behind you a weird look on his face.

"What Colin" you sighed taking another drag of your cigarette, your arms folded trying to keep warm as the cold weather kicked in, "can we talk about you know what happened" he said just above whisper, you let out a small chuckle shaking your head "Colin it was something that happened in the heat of the moment it meant nothing" you said trying to shrug it off.

"But it didn't feel like nothing y/n I know your still mad and you have every single right to be but you can't deny that kiss meant something" Colin pleaded, he couldn't stop thinking about your lips on his, the way it felt like two puzzle pieces mending together he couldn't deny it if he tried.

You did feel what he felt but you were too stubborn to admit it to him and to yourself, "Colin don't not here were at work for christ sake" you sighed taking another puff of your cigarette as it started to burn down, "just admit you felt the same" Colin said you couldn't deny the look of desperation in his eyes, "I don't know Colin okay" you said raising your voice you didn't mean to but it wasn't the right time or place for you both to have this conversation.

Before you could even say another word Colin's lips were on yours for a second time, his hands on your cheeks holding you close, your eyes fluttering shut savouring the feeling of colin's lips, you did feel what he felt but you couldn't admit it.

Pulling away both of your breaths laboured, eyes locked like nothing else was around you both, "you can't deny that y/n" Colin stated you knew that it couldn't be if you tried, Colin turned around walking back into the station till you halted him dead in his tracks.

"Wait Colin okay I did feel the way you felt but I don't just want to be someone you use to get over mare" you sighed Colin turned around to face you again, "the way I see it y/n maybe getting rejected by mare was a blessing in disguise because it made me realise my feelings for you" maybe Colin is right him getting rejected by mare was meant to be.

"Maybe your right now we need to get back to work" you smiled following him into the station, you couldn't help but blush at colin's words that played in your head over and over again like hearing your favourite song.

As more time went on and the weeks progressed, you learned to completely forgive Colin and now you were getting ready for your second date only this time without any conflict, you both decided to go to a bar and have some drinks.

You wore black jeans with a black bodysuit along with your leather jacket and some light makeup, Colin was on his way in a cab to pick you up, waiting outside hugging your jacket closer to you, handbag in hand with your essentials you saw the cab near your apartment a smile invading your face.

Making your way into the cab seeing Colin in the back with a bright smile that could light up a thousand rooms it made your smile shine just as bright, "hey" you said closing the door as the driver took off to your location, "Hi ready to get a bit tipsy" Colin chuckled.

"Oh yeah" you laughed in response, soon enough you finally made it to the bar Colin paid the driver as your exited the vehicle not before thanking the driver, "I'll get this round since you got the taxi" you offered wanting to pay your way but Colin is protesting, "no I invited you out so I'll pay like a true gentleman" Colin stated making you roll your eyes at him, "no Colin its only fair I buy the drinks or at least the first round" you said.

"Fine I'll have a beer" Colin said knowing you were too stubborn to give in to him, you nodded both making your way to the bar ordering your drinks, the bartender handed Colin his beer and your wine taking it to a free table near by.

"Thanks for taking me out colin" you said sipping your wine as Colin took some of his beer, "no problem and thank you for getting the first round but the rest is on me" he joked making you giggle, it was nice to get out with Colin he was fun to be around.

"So have you lived here your whole life or?" Colin asked wanting to get to know you better, "Yeah easttown my whole life" you answered you knee where Colin had originally came from due to the chief telling all of you before hand, "so have you always lived with your mom?" You asked curiously, Colin shook his head at your answer.

"I was engaged before but two weeks before our wedding she broke up with me it was a bummer but I'm over it" you felt bad for Colin and shocked that whoever his ex was she broke up with him, didn't want to marry him it confused you Colin was like a dream the perfect man to be with in your eyes.

"Oh Colin I'm sorry, any person would be lucky to have you" you stated truthfully a hand on his arm, "Yeah but it was a while ago anyway what about you how come your still single?" He asked changing the role of who was getting asked the questions, "well I was in a relationship for five years but in the end we just kept fighting what made me leave was the fact I caught them sleeping with my best friend" you sighed even though it was over a year ago it still hurt not about your ex, that your so called best friend did that to you.

"Wow that is really shitty of them both" Colin said shocked he couldn't believe someone could do that to you at all, "Oh well it's in the past I'm focusing of the future now" you chuckled realising how cheesy you sounded, "I'll drink to that" Colin joked along clicking his beer bottle with your wine glass.

You got to know Colin more after a few more beers and glasses of wine you found yourself a tipsy deciding to call it a night, Colin called a cab waiting outside, you pulled out a cigarette lightning the end of the stick letting the nicotine fill your lungs, Colin couldn't deny that seeing you with a cigarette hanging from your plump lips drove him crazy but he had to contain himself not wanting to step out of line.

"What" you chuckled catching Colin staring at you in awe, Colin shook his head snapping out of his daze like state "nothing just you look really beautiful tonight" his voice was soft causing your cheeks to flush red, "Thank you Colin you look very handsome tonight too" you replied taking another drag of your cigarette, your eyes still on each other not even daring to look away.

You didn't realise how close you both were your noses almost touching, Colin gave in his hand on the nape of your neck pulling you to him lips moving in sync you throw your cigarette on the ground giving Colin your full attention, your hand on his arm holding him close to you.

The kiss didn't last long as it was interrupted by the taxi beeping its horn, "Let's go" you smiled taking colins hand into the cab giving the driver your address, the driver drove you both back to your place.
