"I would really like to see a pretty face like yours again." The waiter boy said to Maddie as he handed us the bill.

"Oh my friend lives just around the corner, I'm sure you'd see more of her around her here right Lu ?" She asked as she smiled at me.

Gosh this girl is frustrating!

The blonde boy who's name read Adam on the tag sighed cause he had just realised that Maddie was unaware that he was flirting with her the whole time. I wanted to laugh at the situation but decided to help the poor boy out.

"Madds I think what Adam here is trying to say is that he likes you and would like to take you on a date." I said rolling my eyes.

Speaking of eyes both Adam and Maddie looked at me wide eyed. Maddie because she had just realised. Adam was just suprised about how blant and straight forward I was. I think a part of him was also relieved that I said what he couldn't the whole evening.

You're welcome boy.

"Uhhmm.. I, ba.. bathroom." Maddie stuttered getting up and heading to the bathroom.

Adam looked a little disappointed.
I was about to pay the bill when I heard my phone ding on top of the table. I picked it up and opened it and saw Maddie's text.

Madds : Please give him my number Lu. I can't, not after embarrassing myself like that 😭😭

I chuckled and showed the text to the boy who stood awkwardly in front of me waiting for the bill.

"She's a little shy." I said and look of relief overtook his face as he finished reading the message.

I gave him Maddie's numbers and he thanked me a million times with a smile on his face. He looked cute, him and Madds would make a great couple.

I paid the bill and gave him a generous tip. He thanked me again for Maddie's number's as he went back to work.

I smiled and texted my best friend.

Me : done, now let's go.

I opened my eyes as I adjusted to the light coming from the curtains in my apartment bedroom. My thoughts instantly went to yesterday. After Maddie and I left McDonald's, we went shopping and played some arcade games in the mall. We separated at 7H30 and I called Kenny to come to my apartment instead of fetching me from work. He arrived at my apartment 15 minutes later.

He arrived with Chinese food and we hung out while eating. But that's not what got me in a foul mood this morning. It was what happened after that. I sighed as a recalled the events of last night.

"I like the vanilla shampoo better, your hair smelled like vanilla the first night we met." Kenny said as he washed my hair.

We were currently in the shower after Kenny fucked me senselesly , I'm even suprised I can stand on my own. My front is sore as hell.

He turned on the water and started rinsing it before he turned it off again. He took my wash cloth and spread the vanilla soup all over it. Kenny started washing my upper body while I just stared at him in adminiration.

"Turn around." He said.

"What ?"

"I need to wash your back." He said as he pecked my lips. "So you need to turn around for me."

I pulled his hands away from me like his touch burned me and stepped back. Why did I do that ? He seemed surprised by my action and looked at me raising his eyebrows questionly.

"I c-cant." I stuttered. Fuck Blue why did you stutter ? now he'll surely know something's wrong.

"What do you mean you can't ?" He asked, taken back by my answer. "Is this about the bruises cause I've been meaning to ask. Blue what is going on ?"

"What do you mean?"

"Babe you have three bullet wounds. You don't think I noticed ?"

I know he noticed the wounds , scars and bruises. How could I not ? He would always kiss and caress them, showing them the most affection. As if trying to assure me that I looked beautiful, scars or no scars. I knew there would be a day when he asks about them, but I never prepared for it.

"I'm a police officer Kenny, what did you expect ?

"We both know that's a lie, you've been policewoman for a month now, and I know no serious incidents happed ever since. I can see an old wound when I see one."

"Well you do know I spent two years in the military before coming here so-"

"Don't give me that crap Blue." He spitted angrily as his jaw clenched. He was getting fed up with my lies. I was too. "You would've said that as soon as I asked instead of giving me the police officer bullshit. Soldiers wear bulletproofs, so stop feeding me that bullshit." He raised his voice.

"Don't speak to me like that." I answered angrily. I wasn't angry at him. I don't even know, maybe I'm angry at myself ? I don't fucking get it.

His eyes softened as he calmed down. "I'm sorry babe, I don't know what got over m-"

"Are you done washing yourself ? I need you to get out."

He looked at me and nodded. He took a towel and wrapped it around his waist and took another one to dry his hair and got out of the shower.

I know I overreacted. But I'm going to apologize as soon as get out of the shower.

But I never got to apologize because when I got out he wasn't there. I looked for him around my apartment, but he had already left. He was mad at me. Who wouldn't after the way I treated him ?

I looked at my phone sitting on the bedside table and picked it up texting him.

Me : Can we please talk ?

I received a text from him seconds later. Even though he's angry at me, he doesn't give me late replies.

Kenny : I'm still at work. We can talk later.

Me : I can't wait until later, can I atleast bring you lunch, please ?

Kenny : you can come by at 12 , I'll send you the location.

Relief came through as I read his text. I really have to make it up to him.

I'm going to one of his workplaces. What suprised me was that the flash drive was the last thing on my mind, even though he just gave me access to one of his offices.

I wasn't all excited as I should be. Instead the only thing in my mind was making sure we make things right.

I just can't believe me and Kenny had our first argument.
