My Life With The New York Detective

I can't believe he his in front of me, on one knee asking me to marry him. I'm shocked here, there's no other words. I raise my hand to cover my mouth that has dropped open. I don't say anything, I just stand there looking at him.

"Come on, say something. Please." He begs, still on one knee, holding the ring.

"I uh... I just... I'll be right back." I blurt out then off to the bathrooms. I lock the bathroom door behind me. I don't know what to do here.

(Flack's POV)

I was in front of her, asking her to say something after I had asked her to marry me, and what does she do, she runs to the bathroom. That doesn't have me worried at all!

I get up off my knee, and sit back down with a shocked look on my face.

"Ok, what the fuck just happened?" Danny asks. I look up to answer but Stella elbows him in the rib, causing him to jump slightly.

"I'm sure it's just the nerves acting up, I'll go check on her. Everything will be fine Flack." She lays a hand on my shoulder momentarily before walking off in the direction Annabel had gone off in.

"If it makes you feel better, we all know she loves you." I stare straight ahead, knowing I might have just messed up a perfectly good relationship by doing something I wanted to do.

(Annabel's POV)

I've been pacing in the bathroom for a few minutes now when there's a knock on the door. I push my hair off my forehead and walk over to the door and unlock it. I see Stella standing outside the door.

"Hey, everything ok in there?"

"No, it's not! I'm flipping out! I would go out the bathroom window and run but I don't fit so, I'm still here." I walk out of the bathroom.

"What's going on here? He asked you to marry him, why are you freaking out? I thought you'd be happy." Stella asks as she leads me over to a near by wall.

"I am, I'm just scared. When he asked me, I flipped out because how do I know, that months down the road that this isn't going to blow up in our faces?"

"That's it, you don't know if it will or not, but if you don't try you will always wonder what might have happened." I look at Stella and find myself smiling.

"I guess you are right.."

"On this one, I know I am. Look, why you don't go over there and talk to him. He's not going to know what your thinking unless you tell him." I start to walk back over to the table when Stella gets my attention. I look back at her.

"If it makes you feel better, he's not taking this well. He loves you." I shake my head as I walk back towards the table. When the table comes into view, I see Flack sitting at the table alone with his back facing me. Cautiously, I walk up behind him and when I get directly behind him, I touch his shoulder blades slightly, then sit down in the seat next to him. He looks behind him, then looks at me.

"Don, look I..." I stop when he takes my left hand, and silently slides the ring onto my finger. After that, he just holds onto my hand, playing with the fingers on my hand.

"Wait, how'd you know?" I ask quietly, looking at my hand that he is holding on to.

"Just trust me, I know." He answers, placing his lips against my temple. He pulls away from my temple to look at me.

"I love you."

"I know." I rest my head against his shoulder. He kisses the top of my head just as my phone goes off. I take my phone out and answer it with my head still on his shoulder.

"Yeah?"

"Wow, that's all I get? I'm practically your brother and all I get is a yeah, thanks a lot Annabel." Tony responds and I can tell he's on the verge of keeling over from laughter.

"Whatever you say Tony." I glance up at Flack to see him looking down at me slightly. "What do I deserve this gracious call from you?"

"I need your help in Boston." I shoot my head from his shoulder.

"With what? I swear to god Tony if this involves me helping you get some girl..."

"I can do that all by myself. No, but I need you come down and take some pictures of my business. I needed this and I thought, of you. I'll pay you $1000 dollars. What do you say?" Holy shit, that's a decent amount of money, then again I don't think I can take it from him.

"Tony I don't think I..."

"Annabel, don't you dare say you can't accept it because I know you can. I know you need the money too." I battle with myself in my head before groaning.

"Ok, I'll do it. I'll take a train out there tonight. I'll call you when I'm leaving." Hanging up, I stick the phone back in my pocket, then look over at Flack.

"What was all that about?" He asks, worry creasing his brow.

"I have to take a train out to Boston tonight to help my cousin with something. Only reason I'm getting on a train tonight is because he's paying me to do this." I get up from the table to stretch, as Flack gets up as well.

"How long are you going to be gone?" He asks as he moves towards me.

"A couple of days, tops. Relax, it's not like I'm moving out there.

"I know your not, I just know I'm going to miss you like crazy." He pulls me towards him rather quickly, and lightly kisses the tip of my nose, before pulling away.

"Want me to take to your place and then to the train station? Wait, never mind you don't get a choice. I'm taking you." He takes my hand and starts pulling me to his car. I get in the car, and quickly take the ride to my place. When we get there, I very quickly get a duffel bag for a few days ready, then head back down to the car. He then quickly drives to station, and once we get out of the car he has me practically glued to his side. He only let's me go when I buy the ticket to Boston, and then I'm glued to his side again as he walks me to where my train should be in 10 minutes.

As were waiting for the train, he takes the bag out of my hand and drops it on the floor next to us. He then places a hand on either side of my face and he just holds on to it for a minute before leaning it very slowly. His lips finally touch mine as his mouth is very insistent. He pulls away just as slowly as he went in. He still has his hands on my face as he looks me in the eye.

"I love you. Be careful ok? Cause I want to be able to marry you." He gives me a hug just as the train starts pulling in.

"I will, have a little faith in me that I won't get into trouble?" The train pulls to a complete stop and the doors open.

"I will, and Annabel?" He asks, causing me to turn and look at him.

"Yeah?"

"Try not to miss me too much?" He has a smirk on his face as I get on the train with a smile on my face. I make my way through the crowds of people now getting on the train. I manage to find a seat towards the back of train near a window. As the train pulls away from the station, I look over at the platform and see Flack watching the train leave. I then settle into my seat, preparing for the decently long train ride.

I've been on the train for a couple of hours when they make an announcement that we'll be in Boston in 30 minutes. So I manage to get a phone signal and text Tony, telling him I'm almost there.

Shortly as the train pulls in, I see Tony casually leaning against a trash can. When the train pulls to a stop and the doors open, I very quickly get off the train and walk over to Tony, He opens his arms slightly and I walk into them.

"Hey there Annabel." He takes the bag out of my hand and that's when he gets a good look at the ring on my finger. He looks up at me with a smile.

"Ohh so my baby cousin's getting married. Who's the ass hole I get to interrogate?" He asks, a wide smile spreading on his face as he rubs his hands together.

"Detective Flack, the one who called you when I got attacked?" I swear his face went white slightly as I laugh. Then his cheeks turn pink slightly.

"Ohh so, I shouldn't interrogate the ass hole than huh?"

"Yeah probably not.." I'm having a hard time controlling my laughter. He grabs my bag in his hand as he starts to pull me through the station.

"So, how long have you had the ring on your finger?"

"Not even a day." Tony snaps around to look at me.

"And you're not sleeping with him right now?" Oh my god my cousin did not just say that.

"Tony you did not just say that..."

"I think I did. Besides, I don't really want to dive deep into your love life. It's late anyways, I'll take you back to my place and you can sleep in the guest room. Before you ask, My place is right above my business." I wasn't even going to go there but ok. Tony places his arm against my shoulder.

"Come on Annabel, I know you want to get this over with so you can go back to your detective." I take my hand and hit Tony upside the head. He laughs.

"Man does Flack have his hands full." He pulls away before I can hit him again. He just laughs as I follow him out of the train station. Well he's not wrong...

Ok, so there's the first chapter of the sequel and I want to know, what do you guys think? As always, I hope you love it :)
