HAUNTED

Chapter 8

Panting heavily she woke up from her nightmare. The event had happened a long time ago but had continued to haunt her even after undergoing physiological therapist with a doctor who was well known in the field. So sliding out of her sheets she headed to her partner's room she knew this was not a good idea neither was it part of the job but she couldn't bear to sleep alone in the room. Knocking on the door she was surprised to see him still awake working on the case. Hazel hated the weak part of her that made her rely on a man. Swallowing her pride she muttered "Can I stay in your room but don't worry I would take the couch she said quickly." To her astonishment he didn't seem bothered by her request.

"You can take the bed" was all he replied before he continued what he was doing. Heaving a sigh of relief about not being rejected she lay on the bed and soon the clutches of sleep was open her.

She woke up the next morning to light streaming on her face looking around the room she saw he wasn't in the room. It was then she heard the sound of showering. She knew she should go back to her room but for some reason her legs moved to where Brandon was showering as her hands twisted the door knob open. Stripping out of her clothes she catwalked into the shower swaying her hips. She knew Brandon liked her and she liked him too but she knew this could rid them both of their job but for the moment she just wanted to have fun.
