Sandra's P.O.V
At around 7 in the afternoon, I'm outside the precinct and after taking a deep breath I get in. The first person I see when I step my foot on the floor Logan and his squad is, is Thomas
"Hello, gorgeous!" he says coming close, ready to kiss me, but I stop him
"I need to talk to u"
"Sure, should I come by the bar when I'm off work?"
"No, it needs to be now"
"Honey, I'm working now..."
"Well, I was working too when u were hitting on me" I say with a raised eyebrow and my arms crossed in front of my chest... I hear laughter from around me and after he looks at the ones laughing, he takes me to a corner
"What's up?"
"About last night; I don't know how it was for u, but for me, it was as good as nothing..."
"Oh come on, this can't be true! I know I was good!"he says kinda offended, but still with a grin on his lips
"U were, I can tell u know your stuff, but maybe it was our chemistry, there wasn't any, and I was too into my head...I'm sorry"
"That's unfortunate, I thought u liked it too..."
"Well, I didn't and I wanted u to know so u don't have the wrong idea about what happened and especially about the future; just to be clear, there's none! It was a one-time thing and since it wasn't good for me, it won't happen again!"
"I see...ok then, I respect it!"
"U do?" I ask kinda shocked
"Yes! U coming to tell me this, shows integrity and I respect u for doing it! It's a hammer, sure, but I can't do anything about it!"
"Are u ok?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, I didn't expect such a mature response from u..."
"Well, I can't do anything else than to thank u for your honesty"
"Ok, what's going on? Did what Fred told u the other day get to u that much?"
"Is Fred the tall scary guy?"
"No, Fred is the one who practically told u to fuck off that morning that he asked u to leave. The tall scary guy is my boss, Ian Maddox...Why? Did he tell u anything?"
"Kinda..."
"Like what?"
"Forget it, Sandra, it's ok, we're ok!"
"Thomas, what did he tell u?"
"Well, he told me to never come in the café again and that if I ever disrespect u again in any way, he won't be that civil. That's the general idea. Truth be told, though, when I found out u and Logan hooked up, I decided to back off because I thought u were gonna become a thing"
"So, the only way for u to back off is for a scary-ass man to threaten u and for me to be in a relationship? Like, me telling u repeatedly to leave me alone wasn't enough? U only respect other men?" I ask him pissed, yelling
"It's not like that..."
"Oh, but it is! For days u had been on my ass, harassing me every single morning, without getting my no for an answer, but the minute u learn I might be with someone and my boss scares u, u just back off? U're disgusting and u shouldn't be a police officer! What would u do if a girl came to report a sexual assault? Ask her why she was walking alone and without a man? Ask her what she was wearing?"
"I-"
"No! Shut up! U should be ashamed! I didn't want to get it this far, but I'm filing a report!" I say pointing my finger at him and then I walk away
"Well, u ended up calling me to hook up, so I guess it won't matter much..." I hear him saying and I stop at my tracks, turning my head slowly to look at him
"What did u just say?"
"U say I harassed u, but who called whom last night?" he answers and without a second thought I drop my purse and walk back to him, punching him right in the jaw, making him turn his head on the side and hold his jaw yelling "U stupid bitch!" as other cops hold me
"U messed with the wrong bitch, dude! I have 10 years of kickboxing on my back, try and say this kind of shit again, see what happens!"
"Do u realize u're threatening an officer of the law?"
"Oh! So, a man threatens u and u back off, but I threaten u and I'm out of line? Are u being a misogynist pig on purpose or are u that stupid?"
"If u continue, I'll throw u in a cell for insult!"
"U will do shit, Thomas, u know she's right!" I hear Logan saying from behind me and then I see him getting in front of me
"Here's the Prince Charming to save his princess!"
"I'm no one's princess, u dick!"
"That's it! Take her away!"
"Ok, I've heard enough! Officers, leave the girl alone, Thomas go to the infirmary, u're bleeding all over my floor, Logan bring her to my office!" I hear a man saying and I realize it's their captain, because they immediately release me, and Thomas leaves cursing
"Are u ok? U need some water?" Logan asks putting his hands on my face
"No, I'm ok"
"I'm sorry I didn't come sooner, I was downstairs"
"I handled it perfectly, he'll think twice before disrespecting me again now. Besides, I don't need u or anyone to fight my battles!"
"Of course not, I didn-"
"Just take me to your captain..." I say interrupting him and without saying anything he escorts me to the captain and then leaves. The captain then asks me to tell him what has happened between Thomas and I, so I tell him everything and he just tells me not to punch him again
On my way out, Logan comes close again
"Everything ok?"
"Yes, your captain is very nice, he took my statement and I think Thomas will have it bad..."
"Someone had to put him in his place!"
"Yeah, and I'm glad this someone is an 18-year-old girl..."
"What u did needed balls, Sandra..."
"Well, I don't have balls, I have a vagina, and it's 10 times more powerful than 2 balls!"
"I'll say!" he says smirking and I roll my eyes, slapping his chest playfully
"Are u going to work?"
"Yep, but first I need to talk to u too..."
"I swear I never disrespected u!"he says throwing his hands in the air jokingly and I chuckle
"U wouldn't dare!" I say at the same tone and then we go out to talk
