My Life With The New York Detective
I continue to follow Tony out of the train station, and soon we hit the streets. With my bag in his hand, he starts walking down the street. Without speaking, I follow Tony the street for about Five minutes until he stops in front of a building with a sign that says Boston Bikes. He walks down the side of the building and we climb a staircase that I assume leads to his place.
We stop outside the door on the top of the staircase as Tony unlocks the door. When he unlocks it, he steps aside so I can enter. When I enter, he steps in and closes the door behind him. He hands off my bag to me.
"Guest room is down the hall, to the right. Do whatever it is you girls do before you get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning." He goes to ruffle my hair but I dodge his hand and start walking down the hall and to the right. I come upon the guest room which I assume he was talking about.
I enter the room and set my bag on the bed, then open it. I take out a longer gray shirt to sleep in. I then take off the shirt I'm wearing but before I can put the shirt on my phone rings in my pocket so I take it out and answer it.
"Hello?" I ask, walking over to the door and closing it.
"It's nice hearing my voice isn't it?" I hear Flack's voice come through the phone.
"Wait, I have to put you down for a second. I have to put a shirt on." I hear him groan on the other end.
"God Annabel, you are killing me and you're a state away." I put down the phone for a second to slip on the shirt, then I pick the phone back up.
"Ok, we're good." I respond as I walk over towards the bed.
"We're not good; you may be but I'm still recovering."
"Recovering from what?"
"I don't know, maybe it's the fact that you didn't have a shirt on when I answered the phone." I laugh slightly as I climb into the bed.
"Annabel, I have a quick question before you get the beauty sleep that you don't need." He asks me.
"What is it?"
"What would you do if we broke up?" He almost blurts out. Ok, that's really random.
"Don, what the hell is this about?"
"Just answer me." I could practically hear him rolling his eyes.
"Fine, honestly. I wouldn't know to do with myself. Throw crying my eyes out in there too."
"That's good to know. I love you Annabel, I'll miss you." Then he hangs up before I can respond. Ok, what the fuck was that all about. He asks me what would I do if we broke up, and then hangs up all of a sudden. Surprisingly though, that's not the weirdest phone call I've had from a guy.
Shaking my head, I put my head against the pillow and close my eyes, with my mind drifting off to what he said, and what the hell he asked the question.
When I open my eyes the next morning to look at the bedside clock, I see my phones blinking. Curious, I grab my phone off the bedside table. I look at the screen and it says I have a voicemail. I get into my voicemail and I listen to it as Flack's voice comes through the speaker.
"I know your probably wondering why I'm calling you this late, but since I can't tell you this myself and make your morning, I figured you could at least hear me say it. Annabel, I love you and I can honestly say that there is no other girl for me. You are the only girl I want to be with for the rest of my life. This is the part where I start counting down the hours til I see you again." That's when the voice mail ends. Ok, that was incredibly sweet.
Smiling, I get out of bed and get dressed in a blue long-sleeved shirt, olive-green pants, and my black converse that are my favorite pair of shoes ever. I then walk over to the bedside table and slide the ring onto my finger that I took off before I went to sleep. I then walk out of the bedroom and in the living room, where I find Tony standing there.
"Morning sunshine, did ya sleep well?" I glare at Tony as I rub my eyes. He knows I'm not a morning person, gets then again who is?
"So, what's the work that you dragged me to Boston for?" I ask as I rub my eyes with my fingers.
"Eager are we? I understand though, you just want to get back to your fiancée." I go to take a swing at him, but he dodges my hand.
"Man, why do you always have to hit me? Who thought you to take swings?" He asked, then got a devilish smile as he knows the answer.
"Tony, you did. Besides, I have a job." He just shakes his head as he struts towards the door and I grab my camera bag which I put by the front door last night as I came in. I follow Tony out the door as we go down the same set of stairs we came up last night. When we get to the bottom of the stairs, Tony takes a right towards a door on the side of the building. He opens the door with a key and holds it open first.
"Ladies first."
"In that case then you should be going first." He just smiles as I walk in and he follows behind me.
"As I said last night, Flack is going to have his hands full. I called you here thought cause you take really pictures, and I need some pictures of some Bikes that are being sold at auction. I need really good pictures, so you're the girl I called." I look at him as he leads through a giant warehouse where his business is stationed at. He brings me to an open area where two bikes are at.
"These it?" I ask, then realize how stupid of a question that is. Both of the bikes look like they have a rustic theme to them.
"Yep, now do what you do what you do best." He walks off into nearby room, leaving me to do what I do. I take my camera out of the bag and set it up, then I proceed to take pictures of every angle of the bike. Every single part has been photographed. Some shots, I sat there waiting for a while, waiting to get the right amount of light reflecting off of it. Eventually I got enough shots of both of the bikes. I am packing my camera back when my phone goes off. I answer it, then tuck it between my shoulder and my head as I continue to pack my camera bag.
"Yeah?" I ask as I open one of the bigger compartments in the bag.
"How's my favorite photographer?" Flack's voice rings out.
"I don't know, want me to go see if she's here?"
"Haha, very funny. I called to see if you're any closer to coming back home?"
"You'll be very happy to know I am finishing up as we speak, so hopefully I can be home in a few hours." I put the camera in the main compartments then close it.
"That's fantastic to hear. Annabel, did you get my voice mail this morning?" He asks as I stand up from the ground.
"I did. Thank you Don, it definitely made my morning."
"That was the idea of it all. Anyways, I have to talk to this kid they just brought in. I'll see you in a couple hours?" He asks me.
"Yes you will."
"Alright, I'll see you then. I love you."
"Love you too Flack."
"Best words I've heard all day." He then hangs up. Smiling, I stick my phone in my back pocket then pick up my camera bag. I walk back to where I came from and when I get to the door I had entered, I find my bag that I'd brought here is waiting by the door. Turning around, I find Tony standing there with a smirk on his face.
"I knew you'd want to be home as soon as possible when you where done, so I brought your bag here." I walk towards Tony where he opens his arms, and I walk into them. He wraps his arms around my upper back. He pulls back and let's go.
"I never told you this but Congratulations on being engaged, I'm proud of you, never thought I'd see the day you got married. Let alone to a detective." I playfully shove his shoulder before I speak up.
"Thanks Tony, it means a lot. Besides, you still get to interrogate him, just less authoritative." He does a fist pump in the air as I walk towards the door with both bags in hand.
"I love you Tony, and whatever do not tell..."
"Taylor your engaged yet? Got it." I smile as I step out and close the door behind me. I begin to make my way back to train station.
I've been on the train for about 3 hours now and when I went to call Flack and tell him that I'm almost back to New York, I saw a text from him saying that he was stuck at work, so he couldn't pick me up from the train station. Typical, he's stuck at work. My anger from him being at work blows over by the time the train pulls into the station.
As I walk out of the train, there's huge crowds of people scrambling to get in and out of the train. I begin to sort of plow my way through the crowds where I come to one open area in the station. I sigh as I go to walk forward but I hear a voice, very close behind me almost on my back say "Did you really think I was going to miss this?" I snap around to see Flack standing there with a smile on his face. I drop my bags on the floor and hug him. He then wraps his arms around me and lifts me up off the ground slightly.
"I missed you Annabel." He puts me back down on the ground then presses a kiss to my forehead. "Do you know what it's like not waking up to you in the morning?"
"No I don't know what it's like to wake up next to me in the morning."
"Just think, I am lucky enough to be able to marry you." I bend down to pick up my bags but he straightens me back up.
"Don't even touch those bags." He bends down to pick up both the bags. Then he stands back up and looks at me.
"I can carry my own bags."
"You can, but am I going to let you? No." He grabs my hand with the one that isn't full with my bags and starts walking towards the exit.
"What was it you were exactly doing in Boston?" We continue to walk through the station.
"I was taking some pictures of some custom bikes he made that were being sold at auction."
"Another question, what did your Cousin think of us being engaged?" He asks, stopping to look at me.
"He's happy for me, then he made a jab on how your going to have your hands full." Flack starts walking again, pulling me along with him.
"Tony's right on that one." I take my free hand and hit his arm.
"I was only kidding, besides I'm the luckiest guy in the world." He leans over slightly to kiss my temple. "Come on, let's get you home." We finally get out of the station as we make the way back home.
Flack and I are now standing outside my door, him standing behind me waiting for me to unlock the door. I finally get the door unlocked and he steps in first. I'm pretty sure he was making sure no one was hiding out in my place. He finally let's me step in. I walk in and close the door behind me to see he has dropped my bags inside the doorway.
I take my coat off and put it in the coat rack, then take off my shoes. As I start walking into the living room, I see Flack and he looks at me for a while. He slowly starts making his way towards me, and soon he has me pressed against the wall and him.
"Is your phone on?" He asks leaning in so close, his breath is warming the side of my face.
"It's dead and it's in my bag, why?" I find myself having trouble getting the statement out.
"Good, so is mine. I wanted to know because tonight, it's just you and me. No one else." He leans in even closer, finally kissing me. Within no time, he pulls on my lower lip with his teeth then puts it back in place. He hands go towards the bottom of my shirt, taking it in between his fingers. He looks at me for approval, all I do is lift my arms up slightly.
He takes the hint as his take the bottom of my shirt and lifts up and over my head. Once the shirts off, he tosses it aside and looks at me.
"The one day you wear a tang top." He comments and he goes towards my neck.
"You are beautiful.." He mutters as he makes a trail from the top of my neck, to my collarbone, back up my neck and finally my mouth. He pulls away to look me dead in eye.
"Are you sure you want this, because once I start, I'm not going to be able to stop?" He asks, breathless. I just simply nod my head. He smiles slightly as moves back in. And that's when I finally slept with him.
So, she finally slept with him! What shall happen next, is a surprise :)
