GUNTHERS POV
Breathe in … breathe out … In … out … in … out
I keep jogging on jogging, it must be at least 08:39am, It was a bit late of me to go for a run, but I needed a good run, and some tea, so I keep running until I reach the little café three miles from Maura's home, I have been coming here since the first day, every morning, I had been lucky enough to stumble upon it, and well now they can't seem to get rid of me.
As I open the glass door to the café I read 'Cuppa' it was written in bold gold writing across the door, I smile as I walk in, the small jingle form the bell that hung at the top of the door, this catches the attention of the blonde waitress, Kingsley, she looked over to me and smiled, Kingsley was nice, kind, always full of smiles,
"Good morning Beale" she winks at me, I wave at her as I walk to the counter,
"Morning, you know it always brightens up my morning when I get to see your pretty face in the mornings Kingsley" I wink back with a smirk, I pay for my black tea that was ready waiting for me, jenny the barista smiled as I thanked her, I look at the girls behind the counter, "good morning ladies" I say lifting my cup up before taking a sip, Cindy looked up and smiled again before going back to the coffee she was making, Lucy waved shyly as she stocked the fridge, the two of them laughed as I was attacked by Kingsley, being hugged by behind with enough force to nearly knock me over, "noooo Kingsley be careful I am all sweaty" I warn, not wanting the girl to have to smell like sweat all day.
Kingsley had simply turned me around to face her, shrugged with a pout, I rolled my eyes as I placed my cup on a nearby table before I engulfed the girl in a big hug, I didn't mind Kingsley she was lovely, really nice, kind, she had dirty blonde hair with freckles sprayed across her pale face, with bright emerald green eyes with gold flecks sprinkled all over, she was 20, but looked like she was at least 17, she was stunning, now Cindy, Cindy was a brunette, straight hair had been pulled back into her signature pony tail, and her dark brown eyes shone behind the thick black frames that framed her small face, she was the youngest of the three, at 18, and Lucy the eldest on the morning shift at 22 had bright pink hair, she seemed to stand out the most with her bright attitude, her eyes were also brown much like her work mate jenny, all the girls were amazing and the girls and Maura have helped me feel more comfortable here in Boston.
"Keep it in your pants ladies" Cindy speaks up as, making us pull away from each other, and I ignore the death stare Kingsley sends Cindy's way,
"alright alright calm your farm" I say in response, grabbing my tea of the table, we all talk and catch up on each other's after noon from yesterday, I was there for about an hour had passed before the girls had asked about my day,
"So Gus… what about your day?" Lucy asks curiously, I look down at my hands as I think back, I tell them about my day, and having to look after Maura and her sprained ankle and then we got to the important part,
FLASHBACK
THIS MORNING
As I make my way up towards Maura's room down the hall, I had a feeling like I had forgotten something, something important, I just simply shrugged it off as nothing because if it was really important I wouldn't have forgotten it right?. I knock on Maura's door waiting for a response, and I wasn't waiting long,
"You can come in" she calls out through the white bedroom door, I walk in and take a seat on the side of her bed
"How we feeling today Maura?" I question as I take her hand in mine, looking into her eyes, she smiles at me before
"I feel good, my ankle doesn't feel sore at all" she assures, I smile at her and nod, standing I slide my hands under her legs and behind her back, causing a confused look to spread across her face, "what are you doing?" she questions, I knew she could use her crutches but this was easier faster,
"To the kitchen, where else would I be taking you?"
"Well... um..." I laugh at her as she stutters and struggles to think of something,
"did the Maura isles just say 'um'?" she slaps me up side of my head, causing my to laugh harder as I proceed to walk her to the kitchen, I had prepared breakfast for the two of us, fruit salad for us both and some more orange juice that I know she likes.
I decided to place her on the couch, as I was making my way on placing her on the couch I had tripped over my own two feet, this had caused me to drop Maura long ways onto the couch followed by myself, as I lifted myself from the soft clouds she calls boobs I try to hide the enormous blush that creeps up and over my face, I moved my hands up and away from her waist where they had landed and up beside her face, looking down at her I froze, she looked absolutely stunning and I had mixed feelings of kissing her and apologising profusely, but all thoughts were taken away when her hand came up to cup my face, our eyes connecting, and I could swear I could feel her hand slipping into my hair and pulling me forward, we had been nose to nose when our bubble had been popped.
"HEY MAURA I HEARD WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY! WHY DIDN'T YO- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO DOING?!" Jane had announced then the announcing turned to harsh questioning, she had to walk through the front door at that moment, at this moment, and in this position?, her angry Italian voice was enough to bring me back to reality, giving me something to really fear about, the look Jane was giving me could of killed me, the eyes of anger, shock and jealousy? I jumped of Maura as quick as I could, backing up, away from Maura, well more from Jane, she was walking straight towards us, and I raise my hands in surrender.
"Look Jane it isn't what you think I swear" I say as I look at the angry woman, she breathes in deep and loud before her dark brown eyes pierce through me,
"Then what was it Beale" she questions in a creepily calm voice, that was worse than her angry voice,
"I… I tripped and landed on Maura I swear" she scoffs at the excuse and rolls her eyes, she obviously didn't believe me, as she was making her way towards me, reaching out to grab my arm,
"Jane stop it!" Maura speaks up in a loud voice, an annoyed look was directed at her best friend, "she was helping me to the couch, she tripped over, it's the truth, nothing happened" she assures, it hurt a little but it was the truth, nothing HAD happened, she looks over to me and smiles warmly before turning back and giving her best friend another hard stare.
After she had calmed Jane down I decided to give the two some space to talk and I went for jog.
END OF FLASHBACK
"OH MY GOD" Kingsley bellowed as the others laughed with her, it wasn't funny, I thought she might kill me, the laughing caught the attention of a few customers, I smiled at them apologetically before looking back at the girls,
"you nearly got your ass kicked by Rizzoli" Lucy states as she gets up to greet a customer at the counter, I roll my eyes, as kings 'awes' at me pulling me into a side hug, they all laughed at me, making me re tell the story over again, it wasn't funny the third time around, especially when Maura and Jane walked into the café.
