A/n: Really emotional day for me, funeral for my cousin happened today July 13. Her brother chose two songs that she liked and played them, never listen to them again without thinking about her. My Immortal and Break Away. Anyways to get to the real point of why I'm doing this I added everyone's pov in here because it helps me set up the love triangles. I apologize about the song Not Again by Chris Cummings because I cant find any lyrics to it, so I tried my best. Happy reading!
"If you need anything just let me know ok?" they stopped at her door and she looked down, at least she didn't look him in the eye
"I will" he knew she wouldn't, she brought her face up with a finger to her chin
"Don't say you will when you won't" she nodded not sure what to say anymore
"I will call you"
"Anytime doesn't matter if it's three am or ten o'clock in the morning kay?"
"You may get tired of me after a while" he smiled and placed a hand in her hand smoothing it down
"Never" she smiled back and he hand went to a finger and traced her jaw, the moment grew awkward again, so she put her keys in the lock
"Well I better try to get some sleep"
"Ya me too. Remember call me anytime"
"Okay" she unlocked her door, he turned to leave
"Wait" he stopped and turned around facing her, she placed her hand on his arm and leaned in kissing him on the cheek.
"Thanks" she put her hand on her doorknob, the air around them ahad definitely gotten hotter. He grinned and left.
She was ready for Bosco this time, but she didn't know how long she could stand with him and not break down and cry.
"And where have you-are you hurt?" he was staring at her chest, she'd forgotten the blood.
"It's not mine"
"Then who the hell is it?"
"My nephew" she lasted as long as she could she could feel the tears filling her eyes, then she remembered her phone, she'd turned it to vibrate after she left the hospital thinking that the little jolt would alert her but it didn't. She checked her messages.
"You have two new messages"
"Ashley this is your mother calling, Nathan came out of surgery ok, he's going into recovery now. Just thought you should know, I'll call with an update"
"Sent today at 1:35am" she erased it and continued onto the next one
"Ashley it's me Hayden I know we just left each other but I wanted to remind you that you can call me anytime. I'm going to be in court all morning, if I can last that long, not what I used to be and no don't blame yourself, I stayed out because I wanted to. Give me a call" she erased that one too, happy that Hayden was actually talking to her again.
"Don't you have to get to work?" he looked at his watch
"Shit I gotta go. Wait don't you too?" she had to hurry him out of the apartment before she completely broke. Which wouldn't be too long.
"I work the third today"
"What don't wanna partner with me anymore?"
"You're going to be late" it wasn't long maybe even seconds before the damn broke
"We'll finish this talk tonight" he finally left, she waited before she heard the door closing before she went to the bathroom, collapsed against the door and cried.
He shouldn't feel this way about her, he should want nothing to do with her, never to speak or see her again but something kept pulling him to her. How many times had he picked up the phone to call her only to hang it up again. He'd finally gotten to the point where he picked up the phone once a day, and then he usually called someone else to get his mind off of her. It helped some but not really. He thought about her all the time, he felt like something was wrong he had known her maybe a month and he already fallen hard for him and she hurt him twice. He was sure he was over her last night, but there was something about her that had him wanting to be near her. He'd been hurt before it was nothing new to him Sherry had hurt him pretty well, he was determined not to be burned by cheating after her but here he was. Most women would be on their knees, begging to take them back, she wasn't, and she understood the fact that he didn't want to see her. She stayed away until he came to see her.
Last word was the last straw
I know
You put goodbye on top of everything
That's counts
Back it broke
I was over you I swear last night
But all I can say in this Morning light
Not again
Making this mistake once more
Not Again
I have been here before
It only takes a moment
One touch of your hand
If I was over you
I'm not again
I'm not again
Well you know
I only love you sometimes
It comes and it goes
Yaa it lives and it dies
Ohh I have grown too tired to fight
So I've start my prayers every night with
Not again
Making this mistake once more
Not Again
I have been here before
It only takes a moment
One touch of your hand
If I was over you
I'm not again
I'm not again
He thought he would catch Ashley in the locker room, where he was changing to go home and she in but he didn't. Nor on the way out. He still hadn't even her from her by the time he went to bed around midnight that night. Why was she acting like this? The more time he spent with her the more his feelings for her grew. He'd been with others just not intimately the way he was with Ashley, she knew more or less everything about him and he knew most things, he knew there were things she left out but he felt that she wasn't ready to tell him that part yet. He wouldn't pry into her life.
He'd almost had the real thing with Nicole but she purposely withheld information from him to protect him, but all it did was hurt him in the end, he was even starting to open up to her and then he learned she had a thing for cops cause her daddy didn't like them. Then their was Cruz, that was just pure animal attraction, no talking, just sex. Then Faith he again started to open up to once again, after he forgave her for ratting him out. Their wasn't much to open up with her, she knew everything already. Ashley it was her turn next, she was her own person, she didn't what others thought of her and she spoke her mind whether or not you wanted to hear it. He had fun with her, they could talk, about anything and he felt like he had accomplished something afterwards. The worry set in when he still hadn't heard from her when he went into work the next day.
So many people had tried to analyze her, and tried to help her. They didn't understand she didn't want anyone to help her should could do anything on her own, had been doing it for years. She had Lettie but that was only when she wasn't missing and high, even then she felt like she was being ignored. So when she died the feelings didn't change much. She wasn't the one to build personal bridges, never saw the need. There were times when she just wanted to go with friends and have a good time, or talk and listen. But she wasn't the kind of person that had friends, most feared her and the rest just stayed clear of her. She didn't even know who to start with for her to be her friend meaning she would have to start building bridges not burn them or not bother building them at all. But was it really worth it the last time she had started to trust someone she learned that she was being played with. She was willing to try it again one more time if that didn't work out, it'd go back to normal.
"You wanted to see me Sgt?" she glanced up ready to greet the caller
"Two things actually, one would you like to work up here with me and two after we're done, do you want to have drinks with me?" Ashley couldn't believe what she was hearing, the bitch Sgt was asking her to have drinks with her, was it some plot to get Bosco back, because she wasn't be stuck in the middle of them, if they wanted to be together then so be it, she was happy for them.
"Ya ok… give me a couple minutes to get changed?" Cruz looked at her seeing her for the first time she walked in, she looked like she had been at a funeral or somewhere very important for her to dress up like that.
"Twenty ok?" okay now she didn't have to say Cruz was going crazy she was already there, ahh another person had come to her dark side. Only 7 million and 999 998 more people to convince to become crazy.
"Ya ok" she looked at Cruz then left.
He found her in the locker room unbuttoning her shirt, she had known their was a possibility that she would run into him, she just wished she hadn't.
"Where you been for the last 24 hours?" he had no right to ask that question but he did anyways
"Well dad, most of the time was spent at the hospital with my nephew, then I was at my sister's funeral, ohh I spent most of last night with Hayden at the park, and right now I'm changing because Cruz wants me to work Anti-Crime. Anything else you want to know?"
"Ya just one will you be home after your shift?"
"No. I'm going out"
She grabs a shirt out of her locker and put it on. He wanted to know what he did to deserve this kind of treatment, it did turn him on a little but that was beside the point. She took of her pants, sending blood rushing to a growing erection. If anyone saw her like this, they would be sure to see his erection. Luckily no one was in here, if they were they weren't paying them any attention to them. He didn't know if this was going to go away he may have to take a trip to the zoo, to get rid of it.
"I don't have all day" she pulled on her pants and he watched how they slid up her thighs and over her hips. His mouth went dry, he didn't think something so simple could be so erotic. She saw him staring and rubbed against him, leaving his skin on fire. She reached in between him cupping him. She whispered in his ear
"Is this for me?" she licked his ear, she began stroking him through his pants. She was driving him crazy.
"I have to go" the hot air over his wet skin, made him shiver and with that she left. He felt cold the moment she left. This wasn't going to be easy. He wanted more than just sex with her, but for now he'd have to remain quiet. He was good at that. He closed her locker and left.
"So how's Bosco doing?" finally the real reason she was in AC, well her guess had been a little off, she figured near the end of shift maybe an hour or two left, or the latest when they had been drinking, but it came with three hours left.
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" she was not going to be the go-between them. If she wanted to know she would have to ask him, herself on her own time.
"I'm not going to be the go-between"
"Just trying to make conversation, that's the only thing we have in common"
"I'm sure we have other things"
"Like what? Where we like to eat? What we get our groceries? What kind of shampoo we use?"
"Well, I have a weakness for fast food, I get my groceries a block away from where I live I think it's called Al's Grocer's or something, and I use Garnier Fructis- Sleek and Shine then I follow that with the conditioner then the serum to help soothe my frizzy hair"
"Natural hair colour?" ha Bosco didn't even know that, she'd been dying her hair long before he came
"Dark brown"
"Me too" was the Sgt admitting she dyed her hair? You learned something new everyday.
After that Cruz didn't ask her anything about Bosco or her personal life, she talked about general things, current issues or other members of the 79.
The apartment was dark and quiet when she got home shortly after two. He was tucked in nice and tight sleeping on his stomach. She slid up beside him so she was half on him and started talking to him.
"Hey sexy, what are you doing?"
"Sleeping" he grumbled, she ran her hand down from his shoulder to his butt and smacked it hard.
"What time is it?" she glanced at the clock over his shoulder
"A little bit after two"
"I have to get up in three hours"
"What if I told you I switched you to the third today?"
"I would say you were a lifesaver"
"Really what flavour?"
"Anyone you wanted to be"
"How about orange?" she crawled under the covers
"Fine, can I get some sleep now?" her hands made their way him running her hand up and down his chest
"But you're working the third" her hand dipped lower and started playing with his drawstrings of his pants. He suddenly became awake
"Why would you do that?"
"So we could have sex, itsjust for one day" he placed his hand on tops of hers and slid it down, inside of his pants to his swollen member
"This is what you do to me" she gripped him and started running her hand up and down his shaft. His breath came out in short gasps.
"And that's what you do to me" she trail kisses down the back of his neck, her hand continued to travel up and down.
Sun trickled in slowly waking her, she tried to sit up but the pain in her head quickly killed that idea. She laid still breathing in and out, waiting for the headache to pass, she shouldn't have drank so much.
"Morning sleepy-head" Bosco came in with a coffee and a bottle of aspirin. Nausea stopped her from moving.
"I had a feeling that you were drunk. Here take these" he hands her the coffee and aspirin, she takes two and downs half the coffee. As he sits down beside her on the bed, his arm propped across her legs.
"Feel better?"
"Not by a long shot" she rests the coffee on her legs
"I got the mail", he magically pulls them out from beside him he hands her everything that was addressed to her, it was mostly junk or bills but the last one was neither she opened it and skimmed over it.
'Ms. Ashley Ryans we request your presence at the 19th annual gala for sick children, yada yada yada included is your invitation along with a guest. Blah, blah Sunday July 17th blah blah'
"What's that?" she looked up
"An invitation to a charity benefit, I usually don't go, just send a check"
"Why not?"
"Cause I've never had a date, and its depressing"
"I'll go"
"It's a black tie event. You'll have to wear a tux"
"That's no problem. Honest"
"I guess we're going to a ball"
"Just out of curiosity how much money do you give them?"
" A million dollars once a year" his jaw dropped, he'd only dreamed of that kind of money.
"Ok how much money exactly do you have to your name?"
"Last time I checked close to 50 million. Why?"
"That change your opinion of me?"
"Surprisingly no it doesn't"
A/N I'm sorry but i dont know who i want her to be with, right now she's just having sex with Bosco so you can call them Sex Buddies, I dont know if that's going to change or not. Bear with me. As for the kids you'll find out what's going to happen to them later.
