"Ahh-Choo"
Susie sneezed.
"Susie
are you OK?" Kelly asked. It was still raining outside, so the
day was cold.
"Yeah,
I'm fine I think it's just the weather" Susie lied; she'd sat in
the bathroom in her wet clothes the day before, after her
conversation with Jonesy, crying for 2 hours.
"Raynor
and Jones" Mark said "We need you to follow up the theft
from the Pharmacy yesterday. Here's the info which Amy collected, we
just need you to check it out".
Susie
made her way to the patrol car, forgetting the keys. 'Jonesy can
drive she thought'. She sat for about two minutes and he still hadn't
come outside. She beeped the horn.
"Jones,
what are you doing?" Mark asked "Raynor is waiting"
"Oh
yeah, sorry sarge" Jonesy made his way to car, brief folder in
hand".
He
hopped into the car and handed the folder to Susie. She sat it on her
lap not saying anything.
They
were down the street before he spoke to her, "Aren't you going
to read the brief?"
"Oh,
yeah right" she opened the folder and skimmed the words on the
page.
"We
are here" Jonesy said with a smile.
Susie
made her way into the pharmacy, she opened the brief folder to the
second page, it was blank, she turned to the next... it was blank as
well... she knew that the report wasn't finished because the last
word on the first page was 'and'... she turned the page again, Jonesy
smiled, it read "Susie, I am still in love with you xxx".
Susie
turned around and pushed the folder towards Jonesy, it hit is chest.
He grabbed onto it with disbelief.
"Suse,
wait" he yelled out "Sorry Mr. Briggs, I will be right
back".
Jonesy
ran out of the store, hoping that today wouldn't be a repeat of the
day before. He finally caught up with Susie.
"What's
wrong?" he asked.
"I
told you Jonesy, enough is enough. Every time you bring it up it
drags up hurt OK, so just leave it alone" she said crying.
Jonesy
bent down onto one knee, "Susie" he grabbed her hand "Not
a day goes by where I don't think about you. You're the first
person I think about before I go to sleep and you're the first
person I wished I'd see when I wake up. I've been in love with you
since you first stepped foot into the station. I love you. We can
make this work, just trust me OK".
Susie
held back more tears, Jonesy stood up... "Please" he said
quietly.
Susie,
threw her arms around Jonesy's neck, "I hate you" she
whispered, laughing "Next time your going to tell me you want
nothing to do with me, think OK".
He
kissed her gently...
THE END
