Ch 25
Corrine and Tyrone had a nice night. They had talked for awhile and after a quick kiss on the lips he was gone. Corrine hung around for another hour before checking her phone to see a text from Kerrie.
"At Mike's don't worry. See you later on." Corrine's smile was back as she made her way into her room. At Mike's Kerrie was laying in bed her mind racing. Normally she would never do anything like this but it felt right, she had only ever been with Jason. Mike was snoring softly and Kerrie went to send Corrine a text so she wouldn't worry. Kerrie got back into bed as Mike's cell started ringing. He groaned and picked it up.
'What?'
'Don't kill the messenger but Crowley wants you here.'
'Ok, bye.' Mike shut his phone and frowned. 'So much for the night off. Stay in bed, I shouldn't be too long.' Mike kissed Kerrie's forehead as he quickly dressed and headed out the door. Kerrie relaxed into the bed and fell asleep quickly.
Corrine woke up and got ready for work, she was still smiling about her date and the fact Kerrie was still at Mike's house. After stopping for coffee she got to work to see Vicki pacing.
'Another dead.' Vicki ran through the details with Corrine and she frowned.
'Was Mike called in?'
'Of course, it was late last night.'
'Oh.' Vicki raised her eyebrows and shook her head.
'How was your date?' She finally asked as she noticing Corinne grinning.
'Great, such a great night.'
'That's good. I want to check out his gallery. Maybe you can help me with that.' Kerrie awoke to hear the door being closed. She propped herself up with her elbows as Mike came in the room.
'Another one dead, this case is so weird.' He said kicking off his shoes.
'Weird seems to be happening a lot around here.' Kerrie said with a smirk.
'Yea, mind if I catch a few hours of sleep?'
'Not at all, still a bit sleepy myself.' Mike snuggled up to Kerrie as they both drifted off to sleep.
3 hours later Mike's phone went off and he was requested back at work so he showered quickly and Kerrie made some coffee and he dropped her at Corrine's on the way back to the station. Kerrie took a quick shower and tossed her hair in a messy bun then headed to Vicki's office. Corrine looked up and the door opened, Kerrie walked in holding a tray with three coffees.
'You didn't come home last night.' Corrine said grabbing a coffee with a grin.
'Yes, how was your date?'
'Great, we had a great night.' Corrine said with a grin.
'Are you going to see him again?' Kerrie asked as Corrine brought the other coffee into Vicki.
'Yea, I think so. I like him a lot.' Kerrie frowned but Corrine didn't notice. 'I might actually give him a call later.' Kerrie went to open her mouth but stopped.
'How did you feel when you were around him?' Corrine looked up and saw Kerrie's look.
'No, no freaking way. I finally find a guy that I like and you-' Corrine's eyes filled up.
'I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have asked but I did and I don't want you to get hurt.'
'Show me.' Corrine said sitting down as tears streamed down her cheeks. Vicki stood in the doorway, she was about to ask for a file but stopped. Kerrie pulled out the cards shuffled and then put them into formation. She began flipping them over and Corrine hung her head.
'I'm so sorry. I-'
'Don't be sorry, your the only person I know who cares enough to ask.' Corrine got up and grabbed her jacket and left the office. Vicki looked at the redhead whose cheeks were red.
'Are you going to go after her?'
'No, she needs her space and some time to think.' Vicki turned back to her desk and sighed. 'If you want I can answer the phones for a bit.' Kerrie offered putting her cards away.
'Did you do that when you met Mike?' Kerrie blushed.
'Not exactly, I asked if he was a good guy.'
'I bet they said yes.'
'They did. I couldn't ask a lot of questions, I'm not good with the whole trust thing so knowing anything ahead of time would suck.'
'I know the feeling.' Vicki found the file and made her way back to her desk. Kerrie looked at everything on Corrine's desk and smiled, she was organized and had a system she could follow.
