Finding Love Again

Chapter 1

Riley's POV

Zzz! Zzz!

Groaning, I placed the pillow over my head to drown out the incessant blaring noise of my alarm clock. As you may have noticed, I am not a morning person. In fact I can safely say that early mornings  and I are mortal enemies. We despise each other. 

Oh forgive my rudeness. You might all be wondering who I am. Well to sate your growing curiosity, I am Riley Dunn, a detective with the Brighton Police Department (BPD). Ever since I was a child, I have always wanted to be in the field of law; doing what exactly was the part that was difficult to figure out. You see, fun fact, am from a family of law enforcers. Mom is a judge at the Brighton Courthouse, Dad a  police captain, my older brother a lieutenant and my sister a cop. Anyways enough about me and my family, let's get on with the story.

Zzz! Zzz!

Even after placing the pillow over my head, the annoying noise of my alarm still disturbs my sleep. Finally giving in to my alarm, I slowly got up from the bed and rub the sleep haze from my eyes. Sighing, I remade my bed all the while still thinking about my nice comfortable bed and sleep. Moving away from the bed before I got sucked back in, I made my way quickly to the adjoining bathroom. Here I mechanically did all my morning routines. 

If there is one thing am proud that I accomplished in life, is that I own a nice decent house. It might not be anything too flashy, but it still works just the same. It is fully decorated in my favorite color blue and some whites here and there. The house consist of three bedrooms; two upstairs and one downstairs each having their own bathrooms, a kitchen, sitting room and dinning room all downstairs. The largest bedroom upstairs is mine. It has a nice, comfortable king size bed in the center with a bedside table holding a lamp on both sides. To the left of the room, there is a nice glass wall with a door that leads to the balcony which provides an excellent picturesque view.  To the right there  is two doors, the one on the left leading to the bathroom and the other to the closet. Along with the two rooms located upstairs, there is also a nice cosy little office which I work from sometimes. 

Anyways back to the story. After quickly completing my morning routine, I rushed from the bathroom into my closet. Looking around for what to wear, I spotted a nice white blouse with a plunging neckline. I paired it with my black pants suit and my black pumps. Hmm quite a looker, I thought to myself smiling as I looked in the mirror. Leaving my closet, I rushed downstairs to the kitchen where I made my morning juice, hot coffee. Yes indeed, I am a coffee addict. Pouring the coffee in my thermos, I headed out for the day to work in my red Toyota Rav4. Time to go solve some cases.
