-Ashton-
"Did you get everything we need?"
"Yes, officer." I answered, handing him the notepad. "The suspect seems to be telling the truth about his whereabouts, I just noticed a slight shift in his tone when he was asked how close he was to the victim." I explained as he went through my notes with his eyes. "I would be careful if I were you, it seems like he knows more than he let on."
"Got it, that's perfect." He gave me a smile that I returned. "I am going to transfer all of this to the captain. Thank you, Ashton."
"No pressure." I nodded. "I'm going to get some coffee, do you need anything?"
"I'm fine, you can take a break if you want."
"Thank you." I said before opening the door, making my way to the break room.
I sighed, massaging my forehead.
I planned to take a nap before work, but clearly I failed and now I'm exhausted.
I'm looking forwards to that coffee, sound delicious right now-
"No way, that's hilarious!"
I frowned after hearing my co-worker laughing out loud.
What's so funny?
"I know, the keyboard literally hit me right in the face!!"
Oh my God.
No.
No.
No.
I ran into the room, face dropping when I saw him. They looked at me, both of them gone pretty quiet at my sight. I glanced at the two familiar men sitting on the table, coffee in their hands.
"Ashton!" Louis said with a smile. "Look who's came to see you."
I stared at Luke as he waved shyly at me. "Hi."
"Hi." I answered.
That's Calum.
That's fucking Calum.
I am going to murder Calum.
Fucking Calum.
"Uh- I- thought we could talk?" He asked, clearly intimidated by my facial expression.
He cracked his knuckles before crossing his arms together, avoiding eye contract as a single drop of sweat ran down his forehead.
Do I make you that nervous, Luke?
I exhaled loudly, grabbing a cup and pouring some coffee in it. I proceeded to face him again, gently tilting my neck as a sign to follow me outside.
Louis gave me a thumb up while pouting his lower lip behind Luke's back, hinting that he approves of him. I rolled my eyes at his unnecessary remark, soon leaving the room alongside Luke.
"You drink your coffee black?" He asked as I took a big gulp of my beverage.
"Yup."
"Like your soul?" He tried to joke, light smile forming his lips.
I glared at him, definitely not laughing.
"Ah, come on!!" He slapped my shoulder softly. "It was funny!!"
He gave me a cheeky grin, which finally made me smirk a little bit.
"Idiot." I said underneath my breath, making him giggle.
"Now here is the Ashton I know." He answered proudly, sitting on the bench outside next to me.
The Ashton you know?
