LOGINMelissa's 4 PM alarm echoed across the office, signifying a benchmark to end today's work. We had gotten a decent amount of files sorted out for her, and the rest to be picked up tomorrow. I only have one case still in progress, so I'd barely taken half an hour to compile."Alright, we'll pick it up from here tomorrow." Melissa said with an exhausted sigh.Not that I could blame her, I had walked around the office countless times to stretch my back and legs. She had somehow managed to remain seated throughout the day."Alright, I'll see you tomorrow." I replied, a smile creeping across my face."You suddenly seem energetic, what's up?" She asked with a cocked brow."Just excited to get the day over with." I winked."I see, enjoy your evening." She replied with a knowing look.I grabbed my jacket from my table, shooting Melissa one final smile before I left the office. Each step I took down the stairs filled me with more eagerness to take the next. I was approaching a corner so fast th
I couldn't really even recall when I started kissing him back, maybe it was when I felt him pulling away or when I felt his fingers against my waist. The euphoria from the moment threatened to send me beyond cloud 9 as the warmth of his lips sent ripples across my body, and it caused a little excitement down below, but I ignored the latter. We stopped momentarily, breathing lightly as we looked in each other's eyes. A shy smile tugged his lips as his eyes fell to my chest. "Let's head to bed then." I said with a smile of my own and he nodded. That night was the first time we slept cuddled up in his bed. He pulled me close by the waist, burying his head in my chest. The scent of him teased my nose, but I no longer felt weird for craving it, so I breathed it in with the air as I closed my eyes to sleep. The next morning, I woke up to the sound of light music. I rubbed my eyes and turned to greet Theron good morning, but he wasn't in bed anymore. Groggily, I stood up from the
Theron let out a satisfied sigh as he pulled off his helmet. The ride home had been one of our best. Not that anything different happened, but it felt better in a way.And the date, even better."You certainly are a dynamite of surprises." I chuckled, handing him my helmet."You have no idea." He smirked.Confidence, I liked that."And you certainly knew something about that place, did Melissa talk to you before me?" I asked, loosening my shirt buttons."Yeah, it was sort of on my dream list." He replied."Ooo, Dream list?" I sang curiously."It's something Falcon had me write up." He mentioned as we walked to his bedroom."She's pretty invested in your well-being." I noted."I guess I have her a second chance at being a good big sister." He shrugged."Same way I probably have Granny a chance at closure for her lost grandson." I chuckled lightly."Look at us, spreading redemption without a care." He laughed."I am interested in this dream list though." I said, free-falling into his be
Perhaps I should have mentioned it earlier, but my mind had been so focused on other things that I only remembered it when we were about to start.I didn't know how to dance, maybe I did before my memory went poof, but right that moment, I was blank. Not even muscle memory looked like it was going to work for me.Theron must have seen the conflict in my eyes, he wrapped his hands around my neck, pulling me closer."Just follow my lead." He breathed in my ear.The air from his lips sent a tingle through my skin. His eyes seemed filled with a look of accomplishment.Then he moved, and I with him. If it weren't for the fact that it was a slow dance, I would have probably tripped or tumbled on the first move.But as the dance progressed, I got familiar with the movements which added extra sync to our dance."Now you are getting it." Theron smiled."What can I say? I had a pretty good teacher." I replied with a playful shrug."I don't know about that." He chuckled."Well, I do." I whispere
Walking up the walkway to the entrance of our destination, it almost felt like I was on a fashion runway. I kid you not when I say, we made heads turn. My initial worry was how Theron would cope with the stress, but he just adjusted his arm around my arm without paying much heed to anything else.Even Melissa and Jacob glanced between Theron and me with a surprised expression. "You two definitely dressed to kill." Melissa chuckled.She was dressed in a simple purple dinner gown while Jacob settled for a white long-sleeve round-neck shirt under a jean jacket, with jean trousers."I didn't know we would be meeting others here." Theron said, his lips curving into a smile soon after his words."Oh, don't worry, darling, we will be sitting tables apart." Melissa replied."Right, Melisa this is Theron." I introduced."The famous heart stealer, Theron Wilson. This" Melissa's smile broadened."Mel." I stated nervously."What? I'm just making conversation." She smirked."He's smitten." She sa
I almost didn't recognise myself when the barber was done. The new haircut allowed more visibility of my ears and the side of my face, and even my jawline seemed sharper with the new cut.Turning to Falcon, I received an approving smirk as the barber dusted stands of hair off my body."Thanks Frodo." Falcon smiled as she paid him his fee."Anytime, Fi." He smiled back.So, they knew each other. That explains why she had specifically stopped here of all places."He's an old friend." Falcon said as we walked out."Was I that obvious?" I chuckled nervously."Not really, but I figured you would be curious. You are a detective after all." She replied.My tongue clicked in dissatisfaction again, I probably needed to get my head checked. Either that or I had to find some way of stopping myself from expressing dissatisfaction whenever someone else called me by my profession."You are one of those weird obsessive types, aren't you?" Falcon chuckled next to me."I am what?" I asked, confused."
