010- Monroe

Eli took his hand while nodding, "Yeah that is me, are you ready to go up?"

"Just let me grab my bag." He said with a friendly smile while reaching over and getting a medium tool bag that was sitting beside the chair that he was sitting in, "Alright all set."

"Sorry about before, I do have someone up there who I thought would be able to let you in but apparently the security around here is really tight." Eli said with an apologetic smile to the guy.

"No it is fine. I can understand, who knows maybe me and the other person are actually planning to rob you." He joked while they entered the elevator.

"Haha you're right." Eli laughed sliding his key card, "So what are you exactly? You Wesen form I mean?"

Monroe turned looking at him in surprise as he asked that question, "Oh I didn't expect you to be able to tell, but since you can then you are either something with a powerful nose or a Zauberbiest. I will show you mine if you show me yours."

Eli smirked before he Woged, his eyes glowing this enchanting orange color, Monroe nodded before he did the same he turned out to be a Blutbad his eyes glowing red as he was woged. They both nodded at each other before they talked a little as the elevator went up, they didn't talk about clocks but everything else.

"So you are a vegetarian Blutbad? Can't say that it is much of a surprise, there are some who want to do that while reflecting on their past." Eli said while walking towards his front door.

"Yeah I just didn't like that life anymore, I was young and dumb when I did all that now I just want to be calm and tame." Monroe nodded along.

They both walked into the apartment seeing Liz was watching TV at the moment, she looked over hearing them walk in, "Oh hello there. Sorry I couldn't let you up the building is really strict about that." she said giving Monroe a small smile as she walked over, she leaned in giving Eli a kiss before going back to the couch.

"Don't worry about it Eli already has apologized twice now, which isn't necessary." Monroe said shaking his head.

"It is right in here let me show you." Eli said while leading him to where the grandfather clock was, they walked into his basically what was a library seeing how many book shelves were in the room.

Different from his study these books covered all genre rather then just being law books, this is where he spent most of his free time when he wasn't out. Though the past couple of days it has changed since Liz has been here, instead it has been him and her in his living room watching TV when he is home and free, that or sex.

"Holy crap!" Eli heard Monroe say, he thought the man was impressed by the many books he had in the room but looking at him he was rushing to the clock, "Do you know what you have here? This is a 1920....." Everything he said after that went right over Eli's head.

"Yeah so how does it look?" Eli asked once he was done talking, he was determined to keep it since this was something from his grandma's house he didn't want to lose it. It was also in his bedroom at her house so he felt an major attachment to it, he missed the ticks it would make as he sat there reading books.

"Well the gears are a little old, man I would hate to have to change them out. So far it doesn't look to bad though, I will need to see if I can restore the gears that are already in here if not then I will let you know." Monroe told him while digging into his bag for something.

"I hope you don't mind if I sit here and watch. Although I might end up calling you again, I would at least love to know how to fix little things that happen to it." Eli says while getting a closer look, he didn't get close enough to block all the light but he did get close enough so that he could see.

"Yeah go right ahead, I wouldn't mind the company either." Monroe said while messing with a gear he took out.

"Great so...." Eli went into a random topic which surprisingly Monroe had a lot of information on, which led him to asking about how he got into this work. The conversation between the two just seemed to flow naturally, Eli felt as though he knew this man for years the two laughing at a joke about a Cello.

"Eli? Oh you are still in here." Liz said coming in forty minutes later looking at the two of them, "Are you hungry? I was planning on making myself a snack so I figured I would come see if you want something too."

"Sure that sounds good, what were you planning on making?" He asked looking over to her.

"Just a salad, do you have a preference for one?"

He thought it over before nodding, "Yeah a fruit salad would be nice, I know that the fruit in there just got restocked so that would be good."

She gave him a deadpan stare, "Really?! That would take forever. Let me guess you want the pineapple, mango, and watermelon cut to go into it too right?"

Eli gave a nervous chuckle, he could see Monroe on the side trying his best not to laugh hearing their conversation, "Please?! I will make you anything, and I mean anything tonight all you have to do is ask."

She looked at him with a little glare before sighing, "Then I want a Lasagna for tonight and Papoutsakia for my trip."

Eli thought over the time it would take to cook them then at his watch, she still had four hours until she left which gave him plenty of time. "Fine it will be ready, I will start working on it here in a little."

"Good. Monroe do you want a salad to, and don't be shy I am already going to be in the making one so you might as well join us in eating them." Liz said looking over to the man who was holding in his laughter.

"Fine sure, just a regular Caesar salad for me." He said with a soft smile looking over to her.

"No meat or anything added to it?" she asked in wonder since some people even wanted to add at least grilled chicken to it.

"No thank you, vegetarian Blutbad here so I am laying off the meat." A soft smile on his face as he looked at her, Liz nodded before walking out the room, "You have a great girlfriend there."

Eli smiled some, "She would be a great girlfriend, but sadly she isn't mine we are just doing the casual thing at the moment."

Monroe raised a brow, "Yeah you must be crazy. There might be an age difference there but from just that little exchange I can tell that she is a good woman for you. But I am just a bystander here so don't mind my words."

Eli chuckled, "No that is what friends do right? We talk about stuff like this, if it was my friend Scott he would just talk about sex, while if it was my friend Don he would probably say the same thing as you."

"Just cause we are friends now don't expect me to give a discount for this work," Monroe joked as he went back to work, "Well then it seems me and Don are right, since we are both obviously smart people you should take the advice."

"Haha, well at the moment it is complicated so..." Eli shrugged.

"Aren't those the best ones though, if there isn't a little complication doesn't things get really boring." Monroe provided with a small laugh.

"Oh yeah and what about you? How is your relationship with your girlfriend?" He didn't see a ring on his finger so at most the guy just had a girlfriend, just from the short time he has met him he can see that Monroe is a cool guy.

"*Cough* *Cough* Well you the thing is....... I don't have a girlfriend so, yeah." He said awkwardly.

Eli's eyes went big before he started laughing out loud, "Wow! Doctor love here is trying to give me advice when he doesn't even have a girlfriend, do you see the hypocrisy here?"

"Shut it! There just hasn't been a girl that has been able to catch my eye yet okay?" He said with a small chuckle of his own.

"What are you two in here laughing about?" Liz asked coming in while holding two plates smiling at the two of them. She placed Monroe's plate on the table near a chair while handing Eli's his, she leaned over giving him a kiss before looking between the two.

"Oh just my new friend Monroe here being a hypocrite." Eli joked while stabbing a piece of watermelon with his fork and popping it into his mouth. He gave Monroe a challenging look, it was screaming for him not to bring up the topic again, Liz and him were still on shaky ground.

Liz looked between the two with a raised brow, "Well keep your secrets you yourself then. I am going to go eat, I already took out everything you need to make the food for later."

"Alright sounds good. Monroe want to join us for dinner?" Eli asked looking to the man who just dug into his salad.

He looked between the two of them before speaking, "Well it sounds like she is going on a trip, are you sure that you just don't want it to be the two of you tonight?"

"It is fine join us. I am just using him for his food tonight, we can do other things when we see each other again." Liz said leaning into Eli, what she said was true since they wouldn't have the time to do anything else. She could see that Monroe is basically taking apart the clock so he would need some time to work on it, maybe some days.

"Alright if you guys insist then." Monroe said with a smile.

"Sounds good. I will make sure to make you one without meat or anything, I actually have the perfect replacement you are going to love it." Eli choked out between stuffing his face with fruit, Liz rolled her eyes seeing him.

"Well I am going to enjoy my salad, you boys have fun." She gave him a kiss on the cheek before taking off out of the room.

"Yeah, you really do need to make that woman your girlfriend. She is perfect for you." Monroe said with a smile while enjoying his salad moaning some.

Eli sighed while shaking his head, he wasn't going to get into that again it was something that wasn't even on the table for the two of them. "So what do you like to do for fun?" Eli asked since that was actually something they haven't talked about.

"Well I love playing the Cello and learning new things. My favorite thing to do really is to celebrate the holidays, I go all out for Christmas and Halloween especially those are just the best times. What about you?" He said with a smile on his face.

"My off days are really on Saturday so I don't have time to do much. Most of the time I am reading a lot, though I try to get out of the house and find something fun to do if I can." Eli said, which was true since he didn't get much time away from the office or his cases.

Monroe nodded, they got to talking about books Monroe loved a good fantasy while Eli loved mystery, Eli joked about wanting to be a detective if he wasn't a lawyer. Monroe said that he just like fantasy since that is how their life was in the first place, though not as many adventures as in the books it is still a little the same.

When Eli finished his fruit salad he went over to grab Monroe's plate, after setting him up with something to drink Eli went into the kitchen to get the food ready. Seeing that everything was sitting on the counter he smiled to Liz who was still watching TV but at the moment she was on her phone.

"Do you need to see Sean before you leave?" He asked while starting the water to cook the noodles for the lasagna.

She looked over at him giving him a smile, "No, I went out earlier and saw him. Apparently something big is going to happen in the next week so he is planning to get that ready, I am free until you take me to the airport."

Eli raised a brow but he didn't as about it, he didn't care what was going to happen in the next week as long as it didn't effect him then why should he care. "Alright then, the food will be done soon so just relax." He opened a new bottle of wine before taking her a glass.

She smiled giving him a peck on the lips, "Thanks."

Everything was just so domestic at the moment, he shook his head giving her another kiss, since the food was already cooking he didn't need to do anything else. The Papoutsakia just need to be put in the oven then it would be finished, he wanted to wait until the lasagna had been cooking for awhile before he put them inside with it.

The two got distracted going into a full make out session, Liz put her glass down while climbing on top of his lap. Even though she wore jeans a lot Eli still loved that, his hands went straight to her ass with them kneading it, the sexy moan she let out was setting him off.

They pulled apart as they heard footsteps coming, Monroe walked into the room looking at them before giving Eli a smile, "Sorry just wondering where your bathroom is?"

Eli rolled his eyes, "Second door past the library."

Monroe nodded before shooting him a wink, Liz laughed a little before kissing along his neck, "Well it seems we are like to teenagers who just got caught by an approving adult. Should we keep going?"

Eli answered by kissing her some more, he knew she was just teasing but the moment he rocked her hips into him again he lost all reasoning. "Don't think you are getting away that easily." He reached down unbuttoning her pants before slipping his hand inside of them.

She let out a gasp as he worked her over, Eli captured her lips while letting her rock into his hand, even if they couldn't do more he could get her off at least. Her loud squeal inside of his mouth let him know when she found her release, he pulled back some smiling at her.

"Well looks like at least I was able to give you one more before you left me." He took his hand out while licking his fingers.

She watched him with hooded eyes as each finger went into his mouth, "I have a few things to do so I don't know when I will be back either. I will call and text anytime you are free though."

She put her head down lying it on his chest, Eli ran his hands through her hair while holding her close, that crack was opening up a little again in his heart. He looked towards his room, he had an idea but he wasn't willing to do it just yet, no now wasn't the time for him to do it.
