CB Twinny Productions proudly presents another masterpiece:

1011 23rd Street #6

Nate had seen CD leave and knew she was trying to avoid him. She had succeeded there for quite a while already but he was fed up with that. So he rushed after her and caught her in the parking lot when she had just entered her car. He opened the passenger side door and sat down next to her.

"Nate" CD knew exactly what he wanted from her but she still didn't feel ready to talk about it. So she just wished he would leave her car again.

"Don't you dare run away from me!" He said sternly and sighed. "CD please... we need to talk. Tell me you think it was a mistake, tell me you're not ready yet, tell me you changed your mind... just please stop ignoring me. Don't break my heart like that." He looked at her, pain evident in his eyes.

CD sighed slightly. She knew that he deserved an answer, that was the least she had to do. But she wasn't sure if she should tell him what she felt. She was afraid that he would turn her down then. "Nate, I ... " She didn't look in his eyes. Then she inhaled and said: "You know, I don't think of 'it' as a mistake ... I ..." She paused again.

Nate looked at her and reached over and gently placed his hand on her cheek. "Then what?" He softly asked.

She shivered at the touch of his hand but she didn't make him move it away. "I ... it wasn't a mistake because ... it was what I ... uhm, felt, no, feel for you." CD prepared herself for a 'turn down' from him. She was pretty sure that he didn't feel the same way she did.

"So do I." He whispered and leaned in closer and gently kissed her lips.

CD was more than surprised. That was a response she had never expected. But she was very happy with it. When they stopped kissing she smiled like the happiest woman on earth. "Wow, I haven't expected that. That was also the reason why I ignored you. I was afraid of your response", she whispered.

He frowned at that. "You were scared I'd kiss you again?"

She giggled. His confused gaze was so cute. "No, I was afraid you would kinda ignore me then, ya know?"

He chuckled too. "That's just impossible. How could I ever ignore the most beautiful woman on earth?" He kissed her again.

CD loved the way he kissed her. But then suddenly another thought crossed her mind. "Nate ... we .... there's something we need to talk about. I mean we work together ... " She looked down on her knees. Then she said slowly: "I don't wanna lose you as my partner."

He sighed and looked down too. "I don't wanna lose that either." Then he looked at her again. "But I..." He tilted her chin up so she had to look at him again. "Candace I love you. I want you and I need you. I'll be honest with you, I can't promise you that everything stays the same when we allow ourselves to be more than partners, but I'd die to find out."

LOL!!! EXACTLY!!! So bring us more of that!!!!!

[CD DeLorenzo]

okay okay... here's more Some drama coming up...

****************************************************

A small tear escaped her eye. He was so sweet that CD wasn't sure if she deserved him. "Yeah, I know. I would do anything for you!" She slightly kissed him. "But we have to hide it, don't we?"

He kissed her tear away and sighed again. "I'm afraid so baby." He wrapped his arms around her and just held her close for a moment.

She snuggled close to him. This felt too good to be true.

"Hey, how about we go to 'Anchorside' and celebrate a little since we're both off duty?" She asked him.

He smiled. "I'd rather be alone with you... I mean... at Anchorside, if somebody sees us there... I can't hold you, I can't kiss you... and we need to talk some more too I think. But how about we grab dinner to go there?" He stroked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Sounds good to me" She smiled and drove her car over there.

He winked at her and got out of the car and walked into their hangout. But he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Jinny at the bar.

CD too saw Jinny. "Oh no." Instantly she let go of Nates hand which she'd held.

Then she took a closer look at Jinny. It looked she was kinda drunk and was trying to get even more drunk.

Nate nodded. "Not good" He whispered. He knew they couldn't let her continue to get drunk.

So CD walked over to Jinny. "Hey Jinny. What's up?"

Jinny ordered the bartender to fill up her glass again. "Havin fun here. You?" Jinny said sarcastically. She had thought it was for the best that Jack left. And she still thought that. But she had been so terribly alone. And then she had remembered her brother's death again... wanting to die herself... she had just wanted to talk to Magda, had needed her friend. But Magda wasn't alone. She had sent her away again to be with Jonah. So now Jinny was here, alone, drinking.

"I can see that." CD was aware that Jinny struggled with her life. Not wanting to support her killing her problems with alcohol, she herself took the refilled glass and drank the whole alcohol. "You better come with us, mhm?"

"Hey!" Jinny protested. "Get your own!" She glared at CD

"No, I won't." She took Jinny's arm and gave the barkeeper some dollars. "Come on, Jinny. I won't let you get drunk!" Outside she said to Nate: "I'll take her with me home. What about you?"

Nate nodded. "I'm with you." He knew Jinny needed her friends now. And he didn't want to leave CD alone with her either.

[CD DeLorenzo]

hehe, yeah this is a CD/Nate shipper and CD/Jinny/Nate friendship story. And lateron Jinny/.... *g* surprise... shipper story as well.

****************************************************

"Great. We're havin a party." Jinny muttered and glared at CD who was still holding her arm. "Let go of me and play mommy for somebody else, will ya?"

"Can you drive?" She asked Nate. "I can sit with her in the back then."

Nate nodded and looked at Jin. "Where's Magda?"

Jin snorted at that. "Ohhh yeah. Magda... my partner... and friend... yeah... I was there... but she talked Gabe into going camping with Ben so she and Jonah could have one last night together..." She rolled her eyes. "So I got kicked out again." She sounded upset about that.

CD rolled her eyes too at that. That was typical for Magda. Although she had a great husband, she needed the lover thing.

Nate sighed and took the keys from CD. "Okay I'll drive"

"Hey, be carefull since it's my car you're driving. And if you damage it, I'll make you pay for it." She smirked and climbed in the car next to Jinny. Then she placed one arm around Jinnys shoulders. "Everything will be alright, okay?"

"Uhhh yeah. I so believe that!" Jinny slurred. "Everybody keeps on telling me my damn life will be okay again, but it just keeps on getting worse. I kicked out my husband... who I didn't even love, which I know now... I just didn't wanna be alone anymore, ya know?"

"I'll be there with you, okay? As long as you want me I'll stay with you, Jinny. I promise!" CD somehow was sad about the circumstances her friend was in. She really wanted to help her.

"Yeah sure. Whatever." She had been hurt way too often already to believe that.

CD knew that Jinny would make it hard for her but she wouldn't give in too soon.

Nate looked into the rearview mirror and sighed and looked at CD sadly as he parked the car at her place.

"Okay, here we are Jinny." CD helped her out of the car. Jinny seemed pretty tired now which surely was the effect of the alcohol.

CD took out her keys and opened the door to her apartment. "Come in." she said and then picked up her daily mail. She flipped through the letters which mostly were bills, but then she found a letter of her landlord.

Jinny and Nate followed her inside and Jinny beelined to the kitchen and opened the fridge and looked through it and found a beer and opened that.

"Hey hey hey!" Nate quickly took it from her and poured it into the sink. "CD!"

CD was opening the letter and was shocked. Her landlord told her to move out within the next week. He was very sorry but he needed the apartment for his daughter who had an accident and needed permanent accommodation now.

"Yeah, uhm, I'm coming." CD went in and saw Jinny with another beer that she had taken out of the fridge while Nate was busy pouring away the first one. She slammed the letters and her keys on the table. "Hey, hey, Jinny. No beer for you!" She took her by her shoulders and led Jinny to her bedroom. "You'll need to get some sleep now and tomorrow we'll talk about everything. Okay?" CD took an over-sized t-shirt out of her closet and gave it to Jinny. "Here, that'll do it!"

Jinny was too tired to protest and got dressed into CD's shirt and crawled into the bed and hid under the covers and hugging the pillow started to cry. She felt bad for bothering CD like this. She didn't want to cause anybody trouble. Not Magda and let alone CD. Apparently Magda didn't want the big pile of trouble that was Jinny Exstead anymore either. She had needed her friend and she had turned her down. That actually hurt her more than knowing her marriage had failed. Magda had always told her she was scared she couldn't count on her as a partner. But it turned out that Magda was the one Jinny couldn't count on.

CD heard her cry and walked up to the bed. "Hey Jinny" She said softly and sat down next to her. She took her hand and held it, her other hand was softly stroking Jinnys cheek, until Jinny fell asleep.

[TLC4Whitney]

Aww this is really good, post more!!!

[candace~n~nathan]

This is great!!! Post more please!!!!!

[CD DeLorenzo]

I'm desperate! Or any other songs?

anyhow... more fic...

****************************************************

Nate sighed. He had watched from the doorframe. He motioned for CD to come out of the bedroom now that Jinny was sound asleep

Softly CD let go of Jinnys hand and left the room without making any noise. Outside after closing the door, she sighed and leaned herself against Nate and hugged him tightly.

"Awww shh." Nate hugged her back and kissed into her hair. "I swear this is all just Magda's fault! If she had been there for her partner instead of screwing around Jinny wouldn't have started to drink again." He hissed.

"Yeah, Magda made it all worse. She's so egoistic." CD sighed again. "Since we didn't have something for dinner now, you want me to order a pizza?"

He shook his head. "I'm not really hungry actually. Come on." He took her hand and pulled her with him to the couch and sat down and pulled her into his lap. "Relax a little. Tomorrow when Jin has sobered up we'll talk to her and I'm sure we'll find a solution. I mean AA seemed to help her. We're her friends and we'll help her too, right?" He then kissed her temple. "I'll stay tonight." He said and then realized what it sounded like. "On the couch! Because of Jin... I want to be here to help you. And her."

CD snuggled closer to him. She smiled a little. "Thanks" she said softly. And then tears welled up in her eyes. Tonight there had been so many things that stressed her. First Jinny being drunk again and then her landlord throwing her out of her apartment. How in the world should she find an apartment and move out within a week? Suddenly she realized again that she wasn't alone. "Sorry, Nate .. I just ..."

"Oh god baby." He sighed and felt so helpless. He kissed her tears away and held her close. "Shhh it'll be okay again. Look, Jin does need our support, but she still has her sponsor too, and I'm sure once she's back in AA she'll get better. We hang out with her more often too, and don't count on Magda being there for her anymore. She had a hard time. First she lost John jr, now Jack moved away, and Magda turning her down. But she'll be okay again. Her family cares for her too. And you and I are gonna kick Magda's ass for what she did tonight."

"Yeah ... but it's not just Jinny ... " CD sighed and showed Nate the letter of her landlord.

"Oh." Nate looked at it. "Crap... damn CD I'm sorry... I'll help you though... I mean I'd say you can move in with me, but somehow I think that wouldn't help the 'keeping it secret' part."

"Yeah, that would just help to keep the gossip going. But thanks anyways. I mean I'll somehow find a solution." She snuggled even closer to him and was already glad the she finally had him. With him she would make it through anything.

"I'll help you find something else. Believe it or not I found my appartment online." He grinned. "Hey we'll find you an amazing place, even better than this."

"Thanks for your support." She could even smile again because she was sure that they would make it. "Uhm, can I do at least something for you? A beer? A pillow? A blanket?" She grinned at the last things she'd said.

"I uh.... I poured all the beer into the sink.... I thought with Jinny here... sorry." He looked down.

"That's okay." CD smiled. "If you hadn't done it I would have done it myself. So can I get you anything else?"

"A little kiss would be nice." He whispered shyly.

CD grinned even more. He had said it a like a little school boy on his first date. He was so cute. "Everytime!" And then she turned around to face him so that she could kiss him. Slowly she leaned in until their lips met. Her hands were stroking his back softly while their tongues duelled.

He put his arms around her neck and kissed her back full of love. But the kiss was interrupted when they heard Jinny scream. "She's having a nightmare." Nate supposed.

"I'll be right back." She left him sitting on the couch and went into the bedroom. Jinny was still asleep but sweat was on her forehead and she was moving form one site to another. CD softly took her hand. "Shshsh, you're safe here, Jinny. No one's gonna harm you." She stroked her cheek until Jinny was back to a normal and peaceful sleep.

Then she went back into the livingroom and sat down next to Nate again. "She's fine now."

"I'm glad." He kissed her cheek. "You should get some sleep too."

"You mind me sharing the couch with you?" She now asked shyly since she didn't know where else to sleep.

"I'd love that." He smiled and kicked off his shoes and laid back and held his arms open. "Come here."

"Just one second." She went into the bathroom and slipped in some more comfortable clothes, another over-sized t-shirt and some boxers. Sleeping with a bra wasn't that comfortable. Then she went back to Nate and snuggled close to him. "You want me to get a blanket?" She asked 'cause somehow she felt cold.

He nodded. "You mind if I take off my jeans?"

CD was gald that they'd already turned out the lights 'cause if not he would see her blushing now. "Uhm, no. Get as comfortable as you want. I'll get a blanket in the meantime."
