The New York Detective That Complicated My Life
When I look up at Flack, he still has a hold on my upper arms. For a minute, I find myself just looking up at him, not moving. He seems to be just looking down at me. His grip on my upper arms loosens, but stays.
Suddenly, I clear my throat and look away causing Flack to drop his grip on my arms.
"Thanks for umm... offering to drive me home." I say awkwardly. Who wouldn't feel awkward after what happened?
"No problem." He responds, then begins walking back down the street. Quick question, how the hell is he not fazed by this? Cause I sure as hell am!
Shaking my head, I start to follow Flack and he leads me to the same car he had driven me to the department. This time though, I manage to open up the passenger door and get in before he reaches the car door. Maybe it's that I really want to get the hell out of this situation.
When he finally reaches the car, he's staring at me, then he shakes his head then get's into the car himself. He starts the car and drives of without another word, which for one I'm glad for. If he had wanted to have a conversation, I would've just died. Thankfully, the ride to my place has been uneventful and silent.
When he pulls up outside of my place, I go to grab the door handle, when he grabs my arm, but drops it.
"Wait Annabel." Ohh great, conversation time.
"Yeah?" I swallow as I let go of the door handle.
"Well first, can you look at me?" I turn my gaze from the window of the car door to him. He get's this look in his eyes that I can't place. Is it just me but are his eyes getting darker? I'm just imagining it, right? "Look, what happened back there, I don't want things to be awkward between us."
"Awkward? What would make you think things are going to be awkward? " I ask, getting slightly nervous.
"I don't know, the fact that you were in the car faster than we could count to five. How about that you wouldn't talk to me." I get another good look at his eyes and see that his mood has changed, completely. Don't ask me how I know that just by looking at his eyes.
"Things aren't going to be awkward, don't worry about it." I try to calm him down. I guess it works because a smile finds its way on his face.
I reach for the door handle and open the car door this time. I get out of the car and close the door. I'm walking up the steps of my place when Flack calls out "I'll call you." I snap around. How the hell did he get my number?
"Remember? You called me to tell me you found a body?" He reminds me, a chuckle in his voice. Ohh yeah, wow how could I forget that?
I just shake my head as I continue to walk the steps as he calls out "Try not to find any more bodies!" Ignoring him, I finally get inside my building.
Climbing the two sets of stairs that I love doing everyday, I finally get to my place. Opening the door, I take my coat off and close the door behind me as I enter. I throw my coat over a near by chair before making my way to my bathroom to take a shower that I ever so need.
When I get under the spray of the shower, I let it erase the dirt and the disgusting feeling the covers my body. I wonder if this is the feeling you get when you discover my body.
I finally get out of the shower after god knows how long and change into sweat pants before my phone rings. I check the called I.D somewhat afraid that it's Flack. It reads Tony, my cousin and I answer.
"Hey Tony.." I answer as I walk over to the couch.
"Annabel, you ok? I was reading news on the computer today and it said they found a body in new york in a park that's close to your place." Great. Should I just leave out the part that I found the body? Yeah, I'll just leave it out.
"Yeah I'm fine, I don't even know who that is."
"Ok, good just making sure you were ok." A knock on the door interrupts our conversation.
"Well I thank you for checking in on me." I smile as get up off the couch and go towards the door. When I look through the peep-hole of my door and see Flack standing there. What the fuck?
"Tony, I'm going to have to have to call you back." I don't even bother to hear his response as I hang up then stick the phone in my pocket. I undo the lock on my door and open to See Flack standing there, in casual clothes. He's wearing a simple red t-shirt that's tighter in the upper arm area, with jeans and aviator glasses with black lenses. I try to let my eyes wander to his arms, but the shirt puts his upper arm muscles on display.
"What are you doing?" I ask, forcing my eyes to look back up at his face.
"I was going to call you and ask this, but I figured I'd do it in person. Annabel, I was wondering if you wanted to go out and get a drink with me tonight?" He asks. I would look into his eyes to see his emotion but I can't see his eyes.
"I don't know..."
"Come on, it won't be that bad..." He looks at me while the corner of his mouth turns up in a grin.
"Fine give me a couple of minutes." I walk away from the door, Wordlessly inviting him in. I look back and he comes into my place before shutting the door.
"I'll be out in a minute." I call as I go into my bedroom. When I get in, I close the door behind me. I'm going out with Flack tonight, oh god.
Ok so I decided to call them Annack, because it sounds amazeballs :D anyways, Flack asked Annabel out, so again FINALLY ANNACK! Lol anyways next chapter will be them out :)
