Matt

”Hello? Matt? Are you awake, dude?”, Dean shouted from downstairs.

“Yeah! We’ll be there in a sec, Sin.”, I shouted back. “Now cut the bullshit!”, I adverted her as I walked to the door.

“Aren’t you going to wash your hands??”, she reproached and muttered under her breath “Pig!”

“Shut up, woman!”, I retorted bitterly as I walked to the sink to wash my hands. She just gets on my nerves to the point I don’t know what I’m doing anymore!

After washing my hands, I stormed out of the bathroom dragging her along not even trying to be gentle. The guys were comfortably lodged on the couch when we reached the living room, their eyes locked on our handcuffed wrists. They all stood up as if it would help them to take a better look at us.

“What’s up with the cuffs, Shadz?”, Mack asked chuckling.

“She tried to reach the front door! I’m not taking any chances, Mack… And you know it. Which one of you wants to trade places with me? I need to leave for a couple of hours, I have some errands to take care of…”, I announced without further ado.

The three of them shared glances, I noticed and said firmly “Christ! She’s up to you until I get back.”. I uncuffed myself and locked the metallic band around Josh’s wrist.

“Do you need anything?”, I asked her.

“How much longer before you let me go?”, she asked back sourly.

“Do you want me to get you anything?”, I asked again ignoring her question.

“How kind of you to offer!”, she blurted sarcastically. “Some tampons and some underwear would be nice.”, she finally answered.

“She needs to get some sleep, Christ.”, I said before I pocketed my keys and left.

I called Chief Rigsby as soon as I walked out the front door.

”Agent Sanders? Is everything okay?” , he asked impatiently.

“No! Your girl almost blew my cover! She showed up at the docks last night and I had to improvise without raising any suspicions on Klaus… She’s being held captive now. Don’t worry, she’s fine. He directly assigned me to babysit her, which is slowing down the whole thing. I have to stay with her at his safe house, while I should be out gathering new evidences and information... She is ruining everything I’ve been working for!”, I let all my frustrations out on him.

”If you had let her collaborate, if you hadn’t cut her out of the case, if you had informed her on the whole situation, she wouldn’t have ruined everything. She’s a good detective… Your lack of trust in her was what led to this whole situation. You better get her back unharmed or you’ll have to deal with me!”, he warned me.

“I’ll keep you posted...”, I said coldly and hanged up the phone.

I can’t believe this s**t! I was being the Good Samaritan and what do I get in return? A f*****g reproach! f**k that!

I started the engine and put the car in gear. I had decided to go home get some clothes and Bella before I headed downtown to get all the supplies we might need. I was greeted with an ecstatic Bella when I opened the front door, shaking her little tail from side to side, I crouched to pet her…

“Did you miss me, baby? You did, didn’t you?”, I scratched softly behind her ears and she licked my face in response. “I’m taking you with me, baby. Come on… Lets grab some clothes first.”

I packed two bags with my clothes and left the house. I drove to downtown and parked my SUV in front of a lingerie shop.

“Stay there, Bella! No barking!”, I let one back window opened and I walked inside the shop.

“Good morning, sir! My name is Kara…Can I be of any help?”, a pretty young girl addressed me.

“You might... I’m trying to surprise my girlfriend, you know… She loves underwear! Maybe you could help me choose the right pieces…”, I replied.

“What size does she wear?”, she asked.

“I don’t know... Her breasts are probably two sizes bigger than yours, and she’s about your size waist down.”, I replied as I pictured Adrianne naked in my mind. “Yeah… That’s about it, I guess!”

“I can go from there…”, she began showing me several thongs and bras. I chose those I’d like to see on her, I kept imagining Adrianne walk to me wearing nothing but the underwear I was picking for her.

I left the shop carrying three bags full of underwear, tossed them into my trunk and run to the supermarket. I got everything we needed and left the tampons for last. I was standing in front of shelves full of tampons without a clue about what to pick. They came in different sizes, different labels… How am I supposed to know which one she uses?

“Excuse me, miss… Do you mind helping me? Which size of tampons do you use?”, I asked to a young woman who passed by me, earning a wary glance from her. “My girlfriend asked me to get her tampons but I have absolutely no idea which one to get for her. I didn’t know there were so many…”, I explained.

“Every girl is different…”, that was all she said before she turned her back to me.

“Thanks! That was sooo very helpful!”, I grunted sarcastically. I grabbed one of each and walked to the cashier. The employee eyed me amused as he saw the different packages of tampons.

“Got a hard time picking one, huh?”, he joked.

I glared at him and he immediately dropped that stupid smile of his face. I paid for everything in the chart and left the supermarket! I put everything in the car, hopped up in the driver’s seat and drove my way back to the safe house at the blaring sound of Panthera. I parked in the driveway, turned off the engine, hopped out of the SUV and opened the back door for Bella. Dean opened the front door as soon as he heard the SUV doors getting closed.

“Need help, Shadz?”, he asked.

“I’ve got a full trunk… Whatcha think?”, I replied.

“Hey Mack! Get your lazy ass of the couch and come help us.”, Dean blared inside the house.

Mack came out to help us in a few seconds. We had everything inside the house in no time. Bella was running around, getting to know the place.

“Is she still sleeping?”, I asked once we were inside the house.

“She was when I went to the room to give Josh his pizza.”, Mack answered.

“I’m going to check on her…”, I grabbed the three bags with her new underwear and walked upstairs to my room.

I didn’t bother knocking, I opened the door and walked inside the bedroom. She was already awake and all curled up against Josh watching something on his laptop. My fists clenched as I tried to repress what was going through my mind.
