"Amy you are not going anywhere" Lenny said sternly. He wouldn't let her go.
"I'll be fine" she picked up her bag from the sofa, checking the contents before placing her jacket on.
"Please, look at least with me I know your safe" He looked into her eyes, he could see her fear of going back, he didn't blame her, the Farmead wasn't a nice place.
"What are you trying to say?"
"Amy I don't like the thought of somebody hurting you, come on it's dark so there is no way I would let you get a taxi back to the farmead anyway" He could still remember what happened to Mads when she got a taxi alone, she nearly ended up being raped, he wasnt going through all that again, especially with Amy.
"I am a big girl you know Lenny" Amy continued, Lenny had had enough, he was not letting her go back and that was final. To stop her all he did was walk over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist, he wasn't letting her go anywhere.
"Your staying"
"I haven't even got any of my things"
"We can pick your stuff up tomorrow"
"Tomorrow I will be back to my place anyway"
"Nah, no way, look why don't you just stay with me? I mean it's not like you have to sleep in the same bed with me, I do have a spare room you know" he moved closer to her, putting his hands on her arms relaxing her a little. She was so confused, they had kissed twice, did that make them a couple?
"And you tell me this now" She chuckled, she had been spending her nights sleeping in Lennys arms when there was a spare bed she could have used.
"Amy please stay with me" he knew he was begging, but he hated the thought of her being on the farmead. Too much crime happened around there, he couldnt bare it if Amy got hurt.
"Ok, Ok I will" Amy hugged him back, this was the first time she saw him scared and begging, scared of losing her, begging for her to stay.
"Jeff, what are you cooking?" Dixie sat in the living room, Jeff was in the kitchen with the door closed, she wanted to know what he was cooking in there.
"Wait and see..." Jeff called back, opening the cupboards seeing if there was any ready made meals that he could bang in the nothing...
"Bloody hell" He groaned as he shut another cupboard, everything looked to complicated for him. There was the chicken in the fridge, but he had no idea how to cook it. He didn't want Dixie getting food poisoning, good thing that they were paramedics really.
Pottering around the kitchen, Jeff sighed running his hand across his head. He really couldn't live without Dixie, he couldn't even cook for himself. He then had a light bulb moment, opening another cupboard he smiled in relief. A can of beans, which he got out placing on the kitchen Work top. He plugged in the toaster putting in two slices of bread, pushing them down he then got to work on the beans.
He then looked at the hob, him and Dixie had recently got a new one and he had no clue how to use it. The old one was easy, but this one looked a hell load more complicated. He didn't want to ask Dixie as that would defeat the object, he was trying to think of somebody else that he could ask.
Pulling his phone out he ran through his contact list, coming to Amy's name, he pressed the call button.
"Amy?"
"Yeah Jeff, have you locked yourself out again?" she questioned immediately, it was rather late and she didn't know why Jeff was calling her.
"No. I wanted to ask you something"
"What is it you wanted to ask me?"
"You have been round our house before right" He asked nervously biting his nail waiting for an answer.
"Yeah last week, Dixie was showing me how to cook again"
"Did she show you how to use the job by any chance?"
"Phahaha... Yes, why can't you even use your own hob? Aww bless you" Amy was in hysterics. She couldn't understand why Jeff couldn't even use his own hob.
"Alright, but just tell me how you use it now"
"It's the second knob on the left to turn it on, then the third one in to control the temperature. What you making?"
"Beans on toast for me and Dix"
"Blimey, you do know how to impress a woman. Right it will need to be on a low heat then. Is that all?"
"Yep that's all, I will call you if I need more help"
"And I promise not to answer, see you Jeffrey" with that Amy hung up, placing her mobile on the floor, her and Lenny were in bed. He was keeping her warm, after she had finished moving her hair from her eyes she went back into his arms, and he once again hugged her as she fell into a deep sleep.
"Jeffrey I am starving here!" Dixie complained she wasnt a patient person.
"Hang on!"
"How long you going to be?"
"Half and hour?"
"What are you cooking in there Collier to be spending that long in the kitchen" Dixie was flicking through the channels on the telly, she was quickly becoming bored with everything.
"wait and see!" Jeff shouted back at her, he kept on burning the toast, he wanted to get it just right. He didn't know cooking could be so annoying and complicated. Once again the toast popped back up, slightly burnt around the edges but he didn't want to keep Dixie waiting much longer, she was becoming restless.
He placed the slightly burnt toast on a plate, two slices for himself and two for Dixie. He made sure Dixie got the slices, and what was burnt he covered with the baked beans. Jeff picked up both of the plates taking them into the living room.
"Beans on toast? Wasn't there a proper meal you could have Cooked mate?" Dixie giggled, taking her Plate from Jeff.
"I was thinking of a roast, but I didn't want to give you food poisoning" Jeff sat beside her as they both placed the plates of food in front of them.
"Aww, thank you handsome." Dixie kissed him on the cheek, looking at the plate that was on her lap. She aye her food gratefully, she didn't care that bits were burnt, Jeff had cooked for her and she was in no mood to complain.
"Thanks Jeffrey" Dixie finished her food, eating the last few beans that were left on her plate.
"That's alright princess, but do me a favour and cook the food tomorrow"
"I will do, I think it's time we went to bed now"
"Yep your right, we start early tomorrow"
"Ugh, oh well, duty calls" Dixie stood up, taking both of the plates into the Kitchen. Placing them both in the dishwasher she turned it on, so the plates would be clean in the morning.
Jeff went upstairs after giving Abs a little scratch, he waited on the landing for Dixie. He could hear her switching off the lights, and then proceed up the stairs.
"Night Dix"
"Night Jeff" they then shared a long goodnight hug, Dixie felt herself becoming increasingly tired. Jeff noticed and broke the hug so Dixie could get herself to bed.
Dixie went to her room, shutting the door so she could get changed into her PJs. When done she slipped into her covers to seek warmth, getting some rest to be ready for the upcoming day.
After a long refreshing sleep, the couple were ready for work. Jeff was now in the Rec room, flicking through the latest paper. The sports pages were his favourite, and he was enjoying reading the latest football scores.
"Jeff I will be in my office if you need me" Dixie stood up leaving him in peace, he want going to talk or pay attention while he was reason the paper.
Dixie made her way into he office, she could see that Amy was standing by it, maybe waiting for her.
"Amy you ok?" Dixie asked concerned as Amy was lost in her own little world.
"Yep, I just wanted give you these" she handed Dixie a set of ambulance keys that se found on the floor.
"Ah so somebody's acting responsible"
"I am indeed"
"Come on let's take this in my office"
"Formal much" Amy mocked, following Dixie into her office, she jumped on Dixie's desk sitting there.
"That's me" Dixie laughed, she never let anybody sit on her desk before, but there was no point in telling Amy off as Dixie knew she wouldn't be moving.
"Ugh Come in" Dixie called as her door knocked again, she expected it to be Jeff. But it wasn't.
"Hey Dixie" Tamzin was stood in the doorway, Dixie was frozen to the ground.
"Tamzin what are you doing here?" she stammered, Amy looked between the two women, feeling a little awkward.
"Just wanted to let you know I went on the course you suggested" Tamzin stated happily.
"Did it help?"
"Loads, so I was wondering if I could have my job back?"
"Ah well, you see I have already got somebody to take the job" Dixie wasnt sure if she even wanted Tamzin back on the team, could she trust her again?
"Yeah but they're only temporary right?"
"If there were any spaces on the team I would think about it, but..." Dixie bit her bottom lip, she couldn't tell Tamzin that Amy was doing her job better. Amy was a lot more professional than Tamzin. Reckless, but she did her job well.
"Who are you then?" Tamzin noticed the other woman in the room.
"Amy..."
"Oh your new, so I'm guessing you were the one who replaced me then?"
"Look I didn't mean to..."
"It's ok, you wernt to know. Dixie I really would want to come back" Dixie didn't know how Tamzin was going to react towards Amy, but of she said or did anything there would be no way that Dixie would ever take her back.
"I know, but there is no way"
"Dix please, I have be where else to work"
"Well I can't..." Dixie was biting her nail looking nervous.
"Dixie." Amy stood up from the desk intervening.
"Amy I don't..." Dixie was becoming stressed and emotionally torn, she really cared about Amy. Then there was Tamzin, Tamzin had let her down, made Jeff lie to her. Betrayed her.
"Dixie! Calm, it's fine, I will work my notice, then I will go" Amy placed her hands on Dixie's shoulders, trying to hold back her tears of what she just said. Dixie could already see the tears in Amy's eyes, she was torn.
"There we go" Tamzin stated, folding her arms.
