Chapter 2

"Chief!" Joseph Mason yells at the top of his lungs.

"Yeah, what?" Bill answers as he, Virgil, and Bubba exit his office.

"Care to explain why your Officer Corbin here found it necessary to arrest and handcuff our Son and his friends because a friendly misunderstanding?"

"If it was only that simple, Joseph." Gillespie replies.

"Why is that, Chief?" Martha inquires.

"Seems that young Carter and his friends decided to attempt to take her seat at the bar from her, but as you can see Mrs. Mason, that didn't work out too well." Virgil says.

Martha cuts her eyes at Virgil as Dixie and Gregory enter the station, followed by Lonnie.

Annalee walks over to her parents.

"Chief, will Annalee be charged?" Dixie asks.

"Oh no ma'am, your Daughter was simply defending herself, Mr. Mason and his friends will be charged and made to pay for the damages caused by that fight." the older man says, eyeing Carter.

Dixie and Gregory walk out of the station with Annalee trailing behind them, she stops when she sees LuAnn leaning casually against a wall in the hallway.

"Mother, Father, could you both wait for me in the car?"

"Sure." Gregory says, Dixie lingers for a moment, staring in silence before joining her Husband outside.

"Officer Corbin?"

"Yes, Miss Surely, what can I do for you?" LuAnn answers.

"Please don't be offended by what I'm about to say." the blonde says nervously.

"And why would I be offended by anything you said-." LuAnn says but is interrupted when Annalee stepped forward and kissed LuAnn, the kiss was gentle and sweet. It was memorable like first kisses ought to be.

Annalee's pink lips were soft as she pressed them against LuAnn's, Annalee wrapped her arms around LuAnn and pulled her closer, the two women closed their eyes as their kiss continued.

LuAnn slowly pulled away from Annalee and locked gazes with the blonde.

"I feel an undeniable attraction to you, Officer Corbin, but I understand if you don't feel the same way, having just met me and all." Annalee said, a hint of sadness in her voice.

This time is was LuAnn who acted first, pulling Annalee into a warm hug which made the younger blonde blush.

"I'd really really like to get to know you, Miss Surely." the ebony officer whispers sweetly into Annalee's right ear.
