Chapter 9

Judy had gone straight home after and went straight to bed after hearing the news about Nick going with that vixen. She had wanted to talk to him but she could not bring herself to do it. This just proved that Nick and that vixen were mates.

She was so hurt and angry, why would he kiss her and make it seem like he wanted her. There's no doubt about it he was toying with her emotions. Why couldn't Nick have just been a bunny, then she would have been able to be with him without any problems.

The rabbit decided that she was going to push this to the back of her mind and focus on work. Then she remembered that it would be pretty hard to not think of him at work, since they did work together. She finished get ready and headed out, ready to get the day started.

When the bunny pulled into the parking lot of the precinct she saw that the tod's car was still I the same place. Seeing the car there made that rabbit a bit sad but she had to just push through it. She made her way inside and saw her friend Clawhauser as he started franticly waving at her.

She walked over with a smile as she waved back. When she reached the counter the cheetah started telling her about all the new gossip that he had heard since he last saw her. Talking to the cheetah always brought a smile to the doe's muzzle.

"Judy…... hey Judy?"

The rabbit looked up to see her friend giving her a worried and sympatric look. She hadn't meant to but she had let herself drift off and had missed something Clawhauser had said.

"I'm sorry what did you say Ben."

The cheetah just looked down at the bunny for a moment, before finally speaking.

"So Judy are you doing ok"

The rabbit officer gave her friend a confused look, then she realized by the look on his face he was talking about Nick. The cheetah gave her a concerned look as he waited for her answer. Judy sighed then looked back up to her friend.

"Yeah I'm fine Clawhauser there's nothing to worry about, now I gotta hurry and get to the briefing"

With that the rabbit ran off before the cheetah could say anything else, she really didn't want to have to think about Nick anymore then she already had to.

The rabbit officer made it to the briefing and hopped up into the big chair that she normally shared with her fox partner. He hadn't made it in yet, he had been known to be late but just not coming in wasn't like him.

The big cape buffalo Chief Bogo stepped into the room ready to give everyone their assignments for the day. After giving all the officers their jobs and dismissed them all he stopped her and asked her to come to his office.

The bunny hopped into the large chair in front of the chief's desk. The buffalo sighed as he pinched the bridge of his muzzle, then looked down at the rabbit officer.

"Judy I'm sorry to do this to you but, Nick won't be coming in today so I'm sticking you on paper duty today."

Judy could only look up at the chief. She didn't really mind paper work duty, but that was when she had Nick to talk to. It was strange that her fox partner was not coming in that wasn't like him. Just the thought of that made her start to worry.

"umm Chief Bogo is Nick alright, did something happen to him."

The chief quickly looked down at the obviously worried bunny he sighed once more.

"Hopps he's fine he just called saying he was a little under the weather, so I told him to take the day to rest "

The chief watched as the rabbit officer let out a sigh of relief.

"Ok Hopps got get to it you have work to do"

Judy jumped down from the chair and made her way out of the office and down to the office she normally shared with her partner. She sat down and got started going through the large stack of reports that were left for her.

Earlier that morning

Nick had done stupid things while drink he could admit that, but sleeping with someone drink was different. The first thing he thought was he hoped that it was with consent, but by the way Victoria was sleeping he could tell that it wasn't forced.

The tod was now pacing back and forth in front of the bed that the vixen was still sleeping peacefully in. He was trying to remember what had happened last night. He couldn't remember anything after the glasses of wine.

He thought to himself what kind of wine was the strong. He did remember Victoria saying something about the wine being a port but he had no idea what that meant he wasn't really a wine drinker.

Either way he couldn't believe they had sex, he could admit that Victoria was a very beautiful vixen. He could also admit that she was getting increasingly harder to get her out of his head, but at this moment he was chalking it up to the drinking and sex.

Nick looked at the clock on his phone, only after he almost threw up from the brightness making his headache unbearable. Once he fixed the brightness he saw that it was only about four in the morning.

He dialed the precinct's number getting an answer from one of the night receptionists that he didn't really know. He told her that he was going to need to take a sick day and to please pass it on to Chief Bogo.

He thought he would just deal with getting yelled at by buffalo butt tomorrow, but he needed to get home and get over this hangover. Not to mention he needed to sort out what happened last night but he couldn't do it here.

He grabbed his clothes and quickly got dressed trying not to wake Victoria in the process. Once he was finished getting dressed me made sure he had his keys and phone then made his way out of the vixen's apartment.

He made sure to lock the lock on the doorknob but without a key he couldn't lock the deadbolt. He made his way to his apartment. It took about an hour for him to get home when he made it up to his apartment he went right in and went to sleep hoping to start getting rid of his hangover.

The reynard woke up about four hours later only to find out that his hangover had gone down a little bit but not by much. He got up and went to get a glass of water. The tod opened his phone to see that he had about twenty texts and about ten missed calls all from Victoria.

The tod started looking though all the messages they were mostly all the same thing. Asking why he left so early, or why he could have gotten a ride. Some even said that she had hoped for a round two, as she stated it.

She had even gone so far as saying she loved him and for him to leave like that hurt, even after he had said it back to her last night. He was caught off guard by that statement, he had said he loved her he didn't even remember that.

There were many males and females out in the world that would say they loved their partner just to get what they wanted. Nick however was a firm believer in you should only use that word if you truly loved someone.

He could admit that he was starting to feel something for this vixen but love was still pretty big. As he was lost in thought, he received another text from the vixen this one longer than all the other texts before.

"Hey Nicky I just wanted to say how amazing you are and that you mean a lot to me, I know we haven't known each other for every long but the time we have known each other has been wonderful. I just wanted to tell you that and hope you will still talk to me"

Nick was at a loss for words after reading the message he didn't know that's how she felt. He had never really been in a good relationship. Back in the day when he would hustle with Finnick he had plenty of flings here and there.

He thought that Judy might had been the one for him she was amazing and so beautiful, not to mention she changed is life for the better. Why couldn't she have just been a fox then they could have been together without any issues.

Now here was a vixen who really wanted him and wanted to be with him, maybe he would let things play out. He still felt strongly for Judy but he felt that with Victoria he could get over her and be able to just work with her as partners and friends.
