Gabby's POV
Matt and I were sitting in the back of Antonio's car as he drove us to the hotel. Jay had left to go back to the precinct as the team had another lead on the murder case they were working on. I looked out the window and saw all the surroundings I was once familiar with disappear
"Antonio where is this hotel?" I ask seeing how far we had driven
Antonio glances over at me quickly before focusing his eyes back on the road.
"It's a little out of town" he says "I do not want to take any chances"
I nod before leaning back in the seat. Matt rubbed my arm telling me it will be over soon. I turn and smile at him. About an hour later we arrive at this old style hotel. Antonio puts the car in park and we get out. Matt grabs are duffel bags from the trunk before we follow Antonio inside.
Once inside I looked around the lobby it was nice looking for a hotel that looked like it could fall apart from the outside. The floor was carpeted in a red burgandy color a chandelier hung from the ceiling. Antonio walked over to the reception desk to check us in.
"Detective Antonio Dawson I called earlier about a room" Antonio said showing the women his badge
"Ah yes. Hold on" said the women as she started typing things on the computer. She popped her head up soon after. "here we go you wanted a king bed" she asked
"Yes" he said.
The women handed him two room keys "your room number is 317" she smiled
"Thanks" said Antonio "could I have another key to be safe" he asked
"Of course" the women smiled as she handed him a third key.
After nodding our thanks we headed for the room.
After my brother helped us get settled into our room and after we all said our goodbyes he left to start working on the case against Ben.
I groaned as I laid down on the bed my eyes staring at the ceiling
"Gabs? Whats wrong?" Asks Matt
"I want this to be over" I say "I hate running from him. I hate appearing weak when he's around and I hate how no one can arrest him I cry out all in one breath as I sit up and look at Matt with watery eyes
Matt slowly sat down next to me. I turn my gaze away from him as single tears make their way down "Hey look at me" I slowly turn towards him. "First off your not weak Gabby. You never were even with that asshole around. You had a horrible thing happen to you in New York but you were still able to leave that behind. Most girls I know who get hurt from boyfriends can't even leave but you did. And you never let it stopped you from being your self. and I promise you your brother and Jay are doing everything in there power to catch this guy."
I nod before I lean in and kiss Matt. Matt kisses me back soon the kiss started to heat up and we found ourselves laying next to each other.
Breathing heavily we stare into each other's eyes
"I love you" I say
"I love you too" he says before he kisses me once again
Matt's POV
I woke up the next morning to my alarm shutting it off I turn over and see Gabby still sleeping peacefully next to me I quietly get out of bed in hopes of not waking her and head for the bathroom to shower when I was finished I wrapped a towel around my waist and exit the bathroom I see Gabby is still asleep I take out some clothes from my duffle bag and head back into the bathroom to change
when I'm dressed I grab my phone off the dresser seeing a text from Boden
Chief Boden-Antonio told me what happened. You and Gabriella take the day off, I will find someone to cover for you guys
"Thanks Chief we appreciate it" I type back. I place my phone back on the dresser and feel Gabby move next to me.
"Morning" Gabby says as she opens her eyes
"Morning" I say kissing her lips. "Did you sleep okay?" I ask
"Yeah, did you?"
"Yeah oh I talked to Chief we get the day off today" I tell her
Gabby nods before she gets up and heads towards the bathroom "lets go walk around and then grab lunch" she says
"Okay" I say before Gabby disappers in the bathroom
thirty minutes later Gabby and I are downstairs in the lobby I walk over to the receptionist while Gabby stands and waits for me
"Okay' I say coming back "the receptionist said that they have some shops down the block near the hotel and they have this little diner too so we can grab lunch from there.
"Lets go" Gabby says as she grabs my arm and pulls me outside.
We spend about two hours just walking around the block and talking. Gabby slipped into a few shops and grabbed some trinkets. Once we were finished we stopped at this little cafe fairly close to our hotel for lunch. After lunch we head back to the hotel where we decide to relax by their indoor pool.
Antonio's POV
I sat at my desk going over some of the evidence we have against Ben. My eyes were growing heavy as I started to feel tired I rubbed my eyes in an attempt to stay awake
"Here" said Jay placing a cup of coffee on my desk.
"Thanks" I say gratefully as I take a drink of the warm coffee
"How's it going?" asked Jay sitting down at the edge of my desk
"I don't know" I say honestly "I mean we have evidence but I don't know if its enough to put him away forever"
"We will catch this guy" said Jay
"Lets hope so" I say
