Cheyenne's POV...

"Babe?" I heard Jake, calling for me. I was wiping down the counter in the kitchen.

"What?" I yelled.

"When are you leaving?" I sighed. Why couldn't he just walk in here?

"What?" I called, hoping he would stop yelling.

"When are you leaving?" He screamed. I sighed. Okay, this was enough. I put down, the rag and went into the room.

"Why can't you just come out there and talk to me, you know, like a human being?" I was so tired of him.

"Calm down, hun. I just want to know when you are leaving."

"Don't tell me to calm down!" I was getting so frustrated with him. All he did was boss me around. It was getting ridiculous. I was so tired of it.

"Why are you freaking out?" He asked, acting perfectly innocent.

"You keep treating like I am your maid or something! You can't come into the other room and ask me a question? You have to yell?" I sighed.

"I'm sorry."

"No you aren't. You never are. You give me a fake ass apology and then you keep doing the same annoying thing! I can't deal with this!"

"Cheyenne, just take a deep breathe and come here." He held his arms opened to me. He was going to try and sweet talk his way out of this. I couldn't do this.

"No." I walked out of the room and grabbed my bag. I had to get ready to go anyways.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Oh. So now you can come out here?"

"Where are you going?"

"Where do you think? I have been leaving at the same time for awhile now!"

"Whatever." He rolled his eyes. That was it.

"I am leaving and I want you out of here, now!"

"Are you kicking me out?" He asked, throwing his arms up.

"Yes and I am breaking up with you. When I come back, I want you gone!" The argument was the final straw. Ever since he moved in with me, things had become more tense between us. I couldn't take it anymore. I needed him gone if I was ever going to keep my sanity.

After watching him finally leave, I took off. I was hoping the drive to work, would cool me off, I didn't need anyone seeing me worked up like this. Especially Lanie. She would grill me about this until I finally gave in and told her. The weight didn't leave me shoulders. I thought dumping him, would make me feel better, but I was still wound up.

"Hey, Lanie." I said, walking past her.

"Hey, girl." She said, looking at me.

"What?" I looked down and saw nothing wrong with my clothes, they were on right.

"You look tense." She said, looking back down at the body laying on the table. Damn, how did she know?

"Just been a long day."

"I can tell."

I sat down at the computer and logged in. "So what do you have for me today?" I asked. I really wanted to work and keep my mind off of Jake.

"You can start with these." She grunted, putting a huge stack of files on my desk. I was a little worried about how long it would take me, but I would rather be here than home alone.

"Thanks." I said, with a smile.

A few hours later, I went to get a coffee for Lanie and I. On my way out, I bumped into Javier and Kevin. I nearly fell, but Javier caught me before, I could do any damage to myself.

"Where you going, munchkin?" He asked, while I caught my balance.

"Coffee run." I said, slightly embarrassed.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Yeah. Thanks, Javier."

"No problem." I gave them both a smile, before leaving the room.

I was pouring coffee, when my cell beeped. I grabbed it out of my pocket. It was a text from Jake, informing me that he wasn't going anywhere because we needed to talk. Why didn't I ask for my key back? I was so fed up. I wanted to scream, but I didn't want to draw attention to myself. I opted for kicking the trash can sitting next to me. The contents fell all over the floor and I wasn't feeling any better. I sighed and went over to pick it up. While reaching for a soda can, but before I could, another hand did. I looked up, to see Kevin. His eyes, were just as blue as ever, but I saw concern in them.

"Are you okay?" He asked. I sighed and shook my head. I was tired of pretending. "What's wrong?"

"Its Jake. I broke up with him earlier."

"Oh." He looked confused. "I am so sorry."

"Thanks. I asked him to leave before I left to come here, but he just texted me, telling me he wasn't going anywhere, so I am just really upset."

"And you took it out on the trash?" He asked.

"Yeah. I know it was stupid, but I figured screaming, would have been worse." I finished picking up everything.

"He won't leave?" Kevin asked, after we stood up.

"Apparently not. It sucks, cause I don't want to go home, because he will be there and I just can't deal with him right now." I looked at him, feeling more embarrassed than earlier. He had his head down.

"Well, you know, you could always have Javi and I go talk to him." He suggested.

"No." I nearly screamed. "I mean, thank you for the offer, but I don't think that would help anything." Jake wasn't a fan of Kevin's.

"Do you have somewhere to stay tonight?" He asked, moving closer to me.

"No. It's too late to call anyone to ask if I could stay. I might just crash here." I said, pouring another cup of coffee.

"No, that's ridiculous, you need a good night sleep and you aren't going to get that here."

"I don't have another option." I gave him a soft smile. He didn't need to worry about me.

"You could stay with me." His voice sounded, shaky. I looked over at him, to see if he was being serious and he was looking at the ground.

"Thank you, Kevin, but I wouldn't want to bother you."

"How could you do that? I am inviting you and it would be rude of you to decline." My jaw fell.

"That's mean."

"It's the truth." He smiled.

"Are you sure?" He nodded. "Okay, then." I nodded my head and poured out my coffee. "I have to take this to Lanie." As Kevin and I walked in the morgue, Lanie and Javier were in the middle of a make out session. I looked over to Kevin, who let out a cough. I had never seen two people jump and walk away from each other so quickly.

"So Lanie, just uh," Javier started, looking flustered. "Let me know when you get those results back, okay?" He walked over towards Kevin and I.

"Sure thing." Lanie, hadn't looked up from the folder in her hands. I slowly walked over and sat the coffee down in front of her. I didn't want to be at the end of one of those stares she gave people, when they stuck their nose in her business.

"Thanks." She said, still looking down. "I'm going to check out. I put in my hours."

"Okay, sweetie. I will see you on Thursday."

"See you." I said, grabbing my jacket in purse. I logged out of the computer. When I walked back in the hall, Kevin was leaning against the wall. He gave me an amused look.

"Do they honestly think we are that stupid?" I asked, with a laugh.

"Probably." He replied. When we got into his car, I was feeling a little weird. I didn't want things to get weird between us. Maybe, I was thinking about this too much. He was just being nice, that's all. I mean this was Kevin Ryan. He was the sweetest guy on the planet. He was always generous, not just to me, but to everyone. I shook my head and hated myself, for thinking badly about him.

The ride to his place was quiet. I was a little relieved. I was so happy, I didn't have to go home and talk to Jake. Maybe in the morning, he would finally get the hint and leave.

"You okay?"

"Yeah." I said, as we got to his door. "Just thinking." I smiled. He smiled back and unlocked the door. He let me in first and flipped the light on. The first thing that hit me, was that his place, was clean. Like very clean. It smelled clean. How was that possible? I lived with a guy, they were not clean.

"Wow. You are not like any guy I know." I commented, sitting my purse on his couch.

"What's that mean?"

"Do you have a cleaning lady?" He gave me a weird look.

"No."

"You aren't messy?"

"Messy house, messy life."

"How's that working out for you?" I asked.

"Touché."

"You don't have a clean place?" He asked.

"No. I live with a guy or did. It's almost always a disaster."

"Well not all men are alike."

"That's good to know." I said.

"You can sit down. Can I get you anything? Are you hungry or thirsty?"

"No, thank you. I'm fine." He ran his hand through his hair. I looked around and saw a picture of two little girls on his coffee table. The smallest who looked like she was five was the spitting image of him. I leaned in closer.

"Do you have a daughter?" I asked, grabbing the picture.

"No." He came and sat down next to me on the couch. "Those are my nieces Allison and Sadie." He smiled, looking at the picture.

"She looks just like you." I said, pointing, to the little blonde.

He laughed. "Yeah, she even has the shining blue eyes."

"They are going to break a lot of hearts, I suspect." I put the picture back on the table.

"Sound like you know the type." He said.

"My sister was like that. She had a different boyfriend every week in high school."

"Not you?" He asked. I laughed.

"Are you kidding me? I had a steady boyfriend junior year, but other than that I was invisible to guys."

"Yeah right."

"What?" I asked with a laugh.

"I just find that hard to believe."

"Well it's true nonetheless." I said, looking down. "What about you?"

"What about me?"

"Girlfriends?" I asked. "You had to have had, lots of girlfriends, in high school."

"Two." He replied.

"Just two?"

"Yes." I shook my head, in disbelief.

"So, do you need any clothes to sleep in?" He asked.

"I can just sleep in these clothes, its not a big deal."

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Kevin, you are already letting me stay here tonight, that's all I am willing to accept."

"Well its not a big deal to me."

"You're too nice." I smiled.

"I get that a lot."

"I wonder why?" I said, taking off my jacket and sitting back.

"So I was thinking I could crash out here, if you want the bed?" Was he serious.

"No. I got the couch."

"Its not that comfortable." He warned.

"Its okay. I sleep on the floor most nights."

"You don't have a bed?" He asked.

"I do. It's just that I don't get stay on it for long." He gave me a weird look. "Jake kicks and moves around a lot in this sleep, so I usually get kicked on the floor, so I am sure the couch will be just fine." He shook his head. "What?" I asked, feeling insecure.

"Nothing." He said, sitting up.

"Yeah right. Nobody gives look like that for no reason."

"Can I be honest?"

"I'd love it if you were." I replied.

"Jake, sounds like a huge dick." I laughed.

"He really is."

"Why did you put up with him for so long?" That was a great question.

"I guess I had a fear of being alone."

"I'm fairly certain, you would find someone, no problem."

"Why are you so sweet?"

"Just being honest." He smiled. I smiled. It was then that I saw it. I never really noticed all that much before, but he was very attractive. I had always noticed his eyes, but now they were just one of the features he had that made him attractive. I knew I should have looked away. He probably thought I was a creeper or something. I was going to look away, but just then I saw him lean in closer to me. I didn't know what to do, so I froze up. I didn't have time to think about what was going to happen, because his lips were on mine in a heartbeat. I wanted to pull back, but I couldn't. I didn't know if it was because I was stressed or if it was all Kevin. Maybe a mixture. I kissed him back, while his hands wrapped around my waist. He pulled me closer to him. I climbed on top of him and lightly bit his bottom lip. His hands moved to my ass and squeezed. I felt his tongue enter my mouth and trail across mine. I moaned into the kiss. It felt so good. His hands cupped my face and pulled me back. His eyes were so bright. "You are so beautiful." He whispered. I smiled. I leaned in to kiss him again, but something was wrong. I was suddenly on the ground. I groaned. All of a sudden the light came on and Kevin helped me up.

"What happened?" He asked. It was a dream. All of it. I couldn't tell him that though.

"Uh, I fell."

"I told you to take the bed. Are you okay?" He asked, sitting me on the couch.

"Yes. I am fine. No worries." I smiled."Sorry I woke you up."

"It's okay. Wasn't sleeping."

"Why?"

"Doesn't matter." He said. "Go back to sleep, okay?" His hand, trailed down my arm and I got goosebumps.

"Okay." I nodded.

He walked back into his bedroom and closed the door, but left a crack in it.

Sleep. How was I supposed to sleep? I just had a dream about him being all over me. If that wasn't bad enough. I was enjoying it way too much. That definitely made me see Kevin in a new light. He wasn't just the funny detective anymore. He was also, sexy. I whimpered and buried my head in the pillow. This wasn't good. Not at all.
