This story is a side project I will be working on along with 'My Heart Your Light'. So far I only wrote this two chapters and I will be adding more once in a while. I already have the entire story planned out. Also Jinx will be featured!
Hope you guys like it.
A huge thank you to my friend Saks for cleaning up my lousy grammar. x3 Luv you girl.
"Come on Caitlyn…", he almost begged this time. "I promise you won't regret it. It's just dinner." Jayce said flashing a very cocky smile he knew she wouldn't be able to resist. Or so he thought. The object of his affection was currently busy digging into a pile of paperwork, a 'present' that had been delivered to her early after Vi smashed through the city museum to catch… imagine… a baseball.
"I do appreciate the offer Jayce but as you can see…" She grabbed a handful of papers and gesture to the other pile she needed to go through. "I am very busy at the moment. And by the looks of it, I may be for a while."
"I see…" He tried to sound as indifferent as possible but there was surely a hint of disappointment in his voice. He had dated pretty much the entire female population of Piltover yet the one he craved the most kept pushing him away. But he wouldn't lay his arms down, much to her dismay. "What are those about anyways? Whatever it is, I bet it can wait after dinner."
The sheriff looked at him from the top of the paper she was currently reading. 'Why can't he just take a no as an answer… It's been like this for months now; he should have got the message by now.' She mused to herself. "Vi smashed through the side wall of the museum. The entire thing collapsed; she even managed to knock down several artifacts and paintings that were exposed on the other side of the room. Fortunately nothing valuable was lost."
"Tsk, another display of her lack of manners. She's nothing but a brute." He crossed his arms over his chest in annoyance. "Last week was the Town Hall and on the week before the Research and Development center. "
"Look, it was an accident Jayce. Accidents happen-"
"No Cait, with her is never an accident. She plain ignores all your orders to stay back, do this, do that… She just smashes whatever is in her way, no matter the consequences. She is a nuisance."
"Don't call her that." Caitlyn let go of the papers she was going through, offering the man a glare. "She is a valuable asset to the police force. Yes, I admit. Her methods are not the best but… we always manage to catch the bad guys. That's all that matters."
"Oh really? What about your post as the Sheriff being on the line over her actions?" Her eyes widen at his words; he just continued. "Yes I heard what the Mayor said to you after the whole incident last week. His exact words were 'You better get your partner under control or you both shall be dismissed'. Are you really willing to risk everything over her? She's just a pitiful thief you happen to pick up from the streets."
"Jayce please leave. Now." The woman was now standing up from her seat, completely annoyed by his words.
"Seriously Cait, what's so special about her? Her strength? There are officers under you that could very well take her spot and do way better. Get rid of her before it's too late."
"Who are you to tell me what to do?!" The sheriff slammed her fists hard in the desk out of frustration, the papers flying off and landing on the floor. "Vi is my partner, my friend. At this point she is irreplaceable. My career is important to me, I won't deny it… But without her it wouldn't make sense anymore." Her features softened. "If someone was to ask me to chose between my work and her friendship, I would not even blink."
Her sudden mood change did not pass unnoticed by the defender. "The Caitlyn I used to know would never say such thing. Her work used to be her priority… always. You became weak." He spat. "But seriously why would you go so far over a friendship like that? Do you have a crush on her or something? Cause that would be just-"
"Get out!"
He didn't even have time to blink as the barrel of the sheriff's loyal riffle was pointed straight at his head. He surely had hit a nerve there and as much as his curiosity would tell him to just pry and dig deep into the subject, the dangerous eyes behind the gun made him realize the best thing to do would be slowly back away. At least for now.
"Alright, alright… I apologize." He lifted his hands up in surrender. "I will be taking my leave now."
As the man slowly made his way out the office, the woman did not dare to lower her weapon until he was gone. As the door closed behind Jayce, Caitlyn let herself fall in the chair, a groan escaping from her lips. As her mind began to race about the previous conversation, she failed to notice that a certain pink haired woman had heard the entire thing from the outside, a shocked expression tainting her features.
