Chapter 22: Hard work
"I think you can make it. But I am telling you that before you going back to work I am going to have you do a series of workouts if you pass I will sign off on the papers but if you fail any part of that you will have an extension of 3 days until you can complete and pass all of my workout."
"You got it doc."
Alex and I went home, I am so happy. I am thankful Alex stuck up for me. I didn't think that Alex would go against what the doctor had said. She must have known how much it really means me. I hate sitting at home and she knows that. I ask, "Can we stop at my house so I can grab some stuff?"
"Of course."
When we get to my house I go in my bedroom and grab some weight, clothes, and some movies that I don't think Alex has. It doesn't take me very long because I already know what i want. About 10 minutes later I just locked up my house and we are back in Alex's car heading back to her house. We don't live that far apart. As soon as we get back I grab a glass of water and head to her bedroom. I take out a pair of workout clothes. Go back to the living room, I am surprised as to what I see. I guess she is a mind reader, because the couch and coffee table pushed aside giving me space to do some exercises. I give her a puzzled look, "How did you.."
"I know you. If you are determined there is nothing going to stand in your way. I just made it easier for you. Now don't go hurting yourself please."
"I won't. Thanks babe."
"I will be right here just in case."
"Ok." I workout for about an hour and then Alex says, "You've been working out awhile you should stop for the night. Just to be careful."
"Ok, babe. I'm going to go take a shower. I still need help. Could you help me?"
"Of course I can, how about you start the shower while I go grab us some clothes."
"Sounds great."
I head to the bathroom to start the shower, I turn back to see if she entered the room. She did and right now she was bent over getting clothes out of her the draw. Damn she has a nice ass,
POV Alex
This is interesting, she was obviously checking me out. Let's see if will catch me sneaking up on her before she comes out of her daydream.
I walk up very quietly so she doesn't hear me move. I am standing in front of her, whilst she is still in her little daydream. I snap my fingers next to her ear very quietly, just enough to bring her back to reality. Her eyes focus in and she almost jumoed back until she realized it was me. I started laughing really hard, she thought it was funny too. We are both laughing but I am the first to speak up, "Enjoying your daydream Detective."
"Very much Counselor."
"Well if you would be as to so kind and start the shower, if you did it when I ask you too it would already be warm. But no you had to have a little fantasy."
'What were you thinking about?"
"I plead the fifth."
"You can't plead the fifth Detective you won't say anything to incriminate yourself."
"Not by law, but by society."
"You're gonna have to do better than that."
"You know that shower is just becoming more appealing as we are standing here."
"I'm sure it is. Don't think I will forget about this Detective. I have my ways to figure out what is going on in your mind."
"Yea, cause you're a mind reader. Now can we please get in the shower? I'm sweaty and gross and I need to clean myself. I feel gross."
"Ok." I put our clothes on the sink while the water is heating up we both get undressed. When we finally get in the shower it is hot but not hot. If it too hot if will hurt the wounds on Olivia. We take about a 20 minute shower because Olivia wanted to wash her hair and because of the length it didn't take long. We get out, dry ourselves off and put on our clothes. Olivia goes and locks up the house, turns off all the lights, and puts her service weapon on the nightstand like she always does. Just to be careful. We fall asleep, we slept great. This time Olivia was up first and was already in the living room working out. I just smile and shake my head. I find hilarious that she is up this early, already working out. I guess she really is that determined. Well while i pour myself a cup of coffee, i hear her heavy breathing and it makes me wonder how long she has been working out because the bed was cold when i first woke up so I am guessing about an hour or over. I go and sit at the kitchen table with my coffee and the two pieces of toast I made. I usually have a light breakfast like poached eggs but I am feeling a bit more hungry than usual. She looks over and takes out the headphones that I didn't even know she was wearing. She said, "Good morning babe. How did you sleep last night?"
"I slept fine. How did you sleep?'
'Wonderful."
"How long have you been working out?"
"Almost an hour and a half."
"Do you want me to make you some breakfast?"
"I could go for some toast and eggs."
"Coming right up, why don't you take a break."
"I'm going to right now after I finish my reps of sit-ups and then I am going to go wash up."
"Would you like me to pour you a cup of coffee to go with your breakfast?"
"Yes please."
"I see you are really put in a lot of hard work."
"If i plan to be back when I want to be back then i need to put in the hard work."
"Very true Detective. Are you in any pain?"
"A little but nothing that I can't handle."
"Ok, you go wash up and I'll have your breakfast done in a little bit. If you need to there is some Advil in the medicine cabinet."
"Ok thanks babe."
