Chapter 14

*-*Next Morning*-*

The next morning, I found Alex in the kitchen. She was making eggs and bacon on the stove, she was already dressed, wearing clothes that I bought her. She looked amazing. Happy too. I walked quietly up to her, wrapping my arms around her small waist. She jumped, unaware of my presence.

"Jesus Harry, you scared me!" she said, turning her head slightly. I kissed the top of her head, and rested it on her shoulder. She continued to make breakfast, as I lightly kissed her neck. She laughed to herself quietly.

"Harry stop, you're gonna make me burn myself!" she complained, pushing me away. I didn't wan her to go, so I tried my best to stall her.

"What time are you leaving, beautiful?" I asked her, hugging her from behind once again.

"In about an hour or so...why?" she asked, turning off the stove.

"Just wondering..." I trailed off, getting plates from the cabinet. I placed them on the counter, and made her a plate. I brought them over to the table and walked back over to Alex.

"Thanks Harry...let's eat." she said, walking over to the table. I picked her up, over my shoulder, and carried her To the table.

"Harry! Put me down!!" she yelled, laughing into my neck. "I hate heights!"

"Babe, you're only 6ft off the ground. Calm down!" I laughed, setting her down next to the table gently.

**Alex's POV**

After Harry scared the shit out of me, I gave him a hug.

"I know what you're trying to do Harry...and it aint gonna work" I told him. A low chuckled rumbled in my ear, as I looked up at him. He was much taller than me.

"What's so funny?" I asked him.

"I just love your accent. 'Gonna' and 'ain't'" he said, trying to imitate the way I talk.

"Oh shutup Harry. You're not gonna stop me from going to this thing today." I told him, not letting him convince me.

"Fine, but I swear, you better not get hurt." he told me sternly.

"Okay, I promise Harry. Now let go, I gotta get going soon." I said, prying myself away from his tight grip. I walked to the front room, and got my beat up sneakers on and over-sized sweatshirt.

"I'll see you later Harry..." I said, walking out the front door.

*-*At the Station*-*

"Good morning! I'm Alexandra Matthews and I was called yesterday and was told that I would start off here as a minor worker?" I told the lady at the front desk.

"Ah yes, Sheriff Froat has been waiting. Right this way" she said, leading me around all the desks and chairs. I was led to a room where a nice looking man sat, no more than 45 years old.

"Ms.Matthews?" he questioned, getting out of his chair.

"Um yes, nice to meet you Sheriff." I greeted, shaking his large hand.

"Please, call me Marty. Sit." he said, gesturing to the chairs placed in front of his desk. I sat down and listened to every word he said. He told me about the station, who I was working with, and what I would be doing. He said I would be on foot, after a few evaluations. After about and hour of talking, and lots of signing, I was officially an employee (soon to be and officer) at the station. It took longer than he thought it would, considering I didn't get any kind of degree, or education in law enforcement. I finnaly got to go home to Harry.

"Hey Harry!" I said, walking through the door.

"What's up babe? Get the job?" he asked. I nodded and told him all about it.

"Don't forget, my friends are coming tonight. They really want to meet you." I said smiling. "But I do warn you...they might make you feel uncomfortable." I warned him, making it very clear that it's not my fault if they scar him emotionally.

"I'll be fine love," he said, placing his large hands on my shoulders.
