Dom
It felt so good to let out my true emotion towards her. I know it might of been a shock. I didn’t want to tell her at first but after everything she had told me, I need to be clear about my actions.
I didn’t want to start a friendship with Eve without letting her know that one day, just one i wanted more.I want to take her everything for just mine. I want it all, the bad the good, the past, present, and future.
I know most people would say.“It’s lust feeling, it would go away once you hurt bro. Or “you are just crushing hard on another pretty face. Be serious, it’s bit gonna go anywhere.”Or maybe i’m the problem. I work so hard to repair from my last heart ace. And i just afraid at how thing will end up.
Maybe she doesn’t even see me as a friend.
She wouldn’t of came to the fair. She trusted you. Take in the little proud she given us. Take a win.
I have learn from my last break a big lesson. If you don’t come clean now, before everything build up, we both will crash down.
And I don’t want to see Eve hurt EVER!
She is already going through something tuff. And I know telling her all of this is bad timing. But god d*** it I want to be her prince. I want to be the one she comes to at the end of the day. I want to be her knight and shining armor, rescuer her in time in need. I will do anything to just be in her life.
If after everything, I will take just being her friend over all. She in a very fragile stage and i can’t push her.
Her hug said it all though. My heart almost stop when she grab mine hand and place it back into her cheek. Her eye was lock in with mine. And I saw the while world in them. Her big brown eyes show that sign of joy I been hoping to see.The last few time I look i them where dark despair. That no good cheating husband of her casing her pain.
What kind of husband cheats on his wife. If I had a wife even close of Eve. I wouldn’t had to look at another women. Everything I ever wanted to be at home for me.
She would be my home.
It was like lighting bulb when she lend her whole body against mine. And at that moment all I want to do was place my hands on her hip. Grab her waist and let her settle me. Lift her face up so she scares back at me. And the moment she looks into mine, I would take her lips for mine to taste.
I wonder what her lips taste like?
But I couldn’t. That would be taking it too far. I didn’t want her to feel like she betrayed her marriage all because I force her too. I want her to want to kiss me. “Eve.. we have to leave.” I clear my throat out to spoke clear though the rain.
I felt her grab me harder and I know she doesn’t want to go. But I also don’t want her to get sick. My goal of today was to make her she was safe. And I have done that.
Time to let her go.
So I grab her hand and inter lock my fingers wither hers. And I felt her heart through every step we took through the path back to my car.
Neither of us said a word the whole car ride back to Lotto’s.
Did we over spoke our feeling?
No, she understood my feelings. I know she feels the same.
Maybe she feels ashame.
She just has a lot on her plate right now. And she needs time to figure it all out. All I can do now is be a friend. I’ll be her shoulder to cry on when she needs it. And if I ever she Mark, my fist will meet his face until, not even his mother can id him.
I park the car next to hers. That way she still safe. I glance at her before getting out and I want to just say. “The hell with it all, your mine!” And kiss her so f***ing bad. But instead I walk over and help her out the car.
“One step at a time Eve.” I really hope she know how I care for her.My ex never understood a d*** thing. All she did was hurt back to back. And its my fault. I allowed her to keep hurting me. To where I thought it was love and turn out it was just toxic. Even after we had broken up I let her play with my mind. I drank every time she came into my mind. I was almost intoxicated the whole day. I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten unto I started to slip up at work.
I had almost put my partner’s life in danger. Captain had to bench me for weeks. And in my line of work, being bench f***ing sucks a**. As a cop I want to be out in the street and get my hands dirty. Buy none of that matters if my head was already in the gutters.
We got clean and learn to drink the right way.
Wasn’t easy but I f***ing did it. Captain notice a change and put me right back to work. I couldn’t be more happier after that. My life was starting to finally get back together.
Without even looking back at me, Eve got into her car and just drive off.
Don’t take it wrong. Just remember. Now she know how we truly feel about her. And she ask us to give her time. Let her get her life in order. Just like we did. As a friend we will be here to help her pick up the piece her dirty bag husband shattered.
All I can do is just closed my car door and kick the rain from the pavement. I wasn’t angry at anyone.
Beside that dirty bag.
Yes him but I was more furious with myself. Just everything going on. Maybe I should of just wait to tell her. It might of just been too soon. It was I only the second time we meet.
“Ugh I am such a f***ing asshole.” I grab my door handle. Trying to hold back so much rage right now.
“F*** I need a drink!”
I close my doors and made it inside of Lotto’s
“Hey man can get whiskey on rock” with my hands in my pocket I nod to Lotto who noticed me as soon as I enter the doors.
“Hey, you go man.” Placing the cup infront of me. I grab it and just took a booth to myself. I just need a more space to kick back to.”Thanks”
I just sat there with my head lean back enjoying the music and my empty mind. As time pass by I didn’t notice I barely touch my drink.
“Man you cool. You only take a booth when you need to clear your head” Lotto usual comes out to seat and talk when its his break time.
“Some what man?” I fix myself so I face him buy I kept my head down.“What happen dude?” He got all serious and lend over the table with his elbows touching his chest. “You remember that girl I spoke to the other day.” I look up so my word clear out more better.
“Eve yeah, cool chick.” Nodding his head.“Will I know you told me not to tell her, I like her..” Lotto interrupted me middle of my sentences. “Ahh you f***ing told her. Dumb a**.” Lotto jump up and slam his hand in the table. Not in and angry way though.
“I know, I know.” Shaking my head back. “What happen, she freak out, slap, kick.?” Speaking fast.“Nah. Nah.” I said. “Ahh okay so what happen?” Rubbing his hands together. “She feels same but she got some personal s*** to deal with. I might of made it worst.” I throw my head back.
“Hey my boy. At least she into you. She seem like a good one. Give her time and she be ready.” Lending into the table.“Thats what i’m planning to do man.” Lifting my head back up.“Good. Now lets take some shot.” Getting up to grab some shot.
Lotto came back with a while tray of shots. “D*** man i’m not gonna be able to drive.” Laughing an shaking my head at him.“Its cool man you know you can stay upstairs.” Lotto home was in build on the upper level of bar. Don’t get me wrong that was smart of him.“Thats bot my point” grabbing a shot to take. “So tell me, did you kiss, ahh I bet you did??” Lotto was excited more then me. “Nah man I …” Laughing at Lotto childish mind.
*RIINNNGG*
“Hello?” Laying back on my seat as i held a finger up to Lotto. “Is this Officer Carbone?” The tone on the phone wasn’t normal. I can tell it was more of a soft serious one.“Yes this is he?” I narrow my eye, as my body reacts to a new i know my be sad.
“Yes, well there seem to be an accident in Route 68 and your card was the only thing with information we found relation to the victim.” That was the tone. Not sure if i knew the person or not. When I work, I sometime give my direct number out for emergency to a few people. “Is the victim okay?” I change my tone to a more cop like tone.
“I don’t have all the details but the accident was pretty bad. They are transporting the victim right now to Adamsville Hospital.” Officers say. “Okay I will head there and meet the victim. I will report back to your station afterwards.” I wasn’t too worried as it might be a victim trying to escape an abusive lover and just got the bad end of the drama.
“Everything okay Dom?” Lottos voice was worry but he knows what I do for a living. He know when I take a bad call serious but I try not show my emotions. Either way if I knew the person involved or not. The officer at scene wouldn’t tell you until you show up. It keeps you calm and alert. That way you do act rash.
“Yeah just got to meet a victim that got in some car accident.” Sat back up and took a shot to hand to Lotto and grab one for me too. “Alright bro you do you.” Grabbing the shot I place in front of him. I also grab my shot and we clang both together and down the vodka went.
“Aahh, that shirt will put some hair on your chest haha.” We both laugh and I pay for the drink Lotto gave me.“Nah man these are on me.” Waving his hand out to reject my payment. “Alright sure. But next time I got it.” Putting the money back in my wallet. I got in my car and headed to Adamsville Hospital. I follow the GPS to the direction. This was in an area I never been too.
30 mins later
I made to the hospital and walk in to the front desk to see where the victim was kept.“Excuse me ma’am, i’m officer Carbone.” Holding my badge up to show proof to the lady. “Oohh yes Officer how can help you. Or better can you help me” the nurse look up and lend against the tall desk to flirt with me
But I pay no mine to her. Being and good looking officer, you get hit on very often. Sometime you just got to let them down easy or just ignore the comments. “Haha I got a call that an victim was brought here from Route 68.” Letting a small laugh out from the nurse’s comment.
“Ahh yeah, she up in the ICU room 343, just take the elevator to 3 and an nurse will show you from there.” She went back to flipping her magazining as I head to the elevator. “Thank you.” I did has she said, I took the elevator all the way up to floor 3 and walk towards the nurses station.
“Hi i’m here for the Route 68 Victim?” I held my badge up again to the nurse in the ICU.“ Yes officer , this way.” She walk around the station and walk me to the room.“She asleep right now. We are still waiting for her to awake conscience. I will let the doctor know you are here.” tThe nurse wink at me as she walk off.I just nodded to her. I walk in to the room and it seem they still haven’t founded her personal items yet.
Their bring it up soon. They just call us an hour ago.
Yeah, and then I look in the bad where they took her clothes off and place them in. It was all bloody but I had gloves on.
They look familiar to me but I shook my head. It couldn’t be. My heart sank to my stomach as I finish looking throu them. She had nothing in her pocket. The only thing there was my card all wet dirty and a little blood on it.I took my gloves off and place them into the trash for blood waste.
I was afraid to turn around and see who the victim may be. The air started to close in on me as her face ran through my head. Her smile, her voice and that intoxic smell of her’s. “Take a deep breath Dom, it might not be her.” I let out a deep exhale and I then around and walk to the victim.
It was her. She was there, she she she look almost dead with brusies and cuts all over her.“Ohh god no.” I try so hard to held in my tears but one made an escape as i saw her face. “Eve what happen?” My voice crackes a little as the words came out.
I didn’t know how to feel. Did she made it home and her husband hurt her. Maybe she try to ran off. Of was it just a freak accident. Maybe the road was just too slippy for her car. I made sure Eve was sober to drive. I, I should of just drove her myself maybe.
You know she wouldn’t let that happen.
Who know maybe if she did, she wouldn’t be here in the hospital. I brush her hair and held her hand as I wait to speak to the Doctor.
“Eve, please stay with me. Don’t go into any bright lights please don’t. I am so sorry this happen to you.”
