The devil within

Aftermath

"You shouldn't be walking home this late sugar" lee explained pulling up along side her. She had finished her shift hours ago. Lee offered to take her home but she declined, something about having some errands to run in town. "I know Lee, Pa was spose to pick me up. Guess he's passed out with a bottle" she grumbled adjusting the bag on her shoulder.

Lee wasn't keen on her going home after George's little stunt but daisy assured him it was a misunderstanding. He was drunk and high, his emotions enhanced under the influence.

Lee popped open the passenger door "Come on, I'll take ya" he commanded softly. She smiled and slipped into the cruiser. Before she could close the door his lips were on hers, his tongue swiping across her bottom lip.

She moaned granting him entrance, both their tongues fighting for dominance.now their relationship was out in the open they didn't have to hide anymore. They didn't care who saw them.

His hand running over her thigh and up her skirt "lee!" She squealed pulling away " we can't in public!" He chuckled at her still trying to play innocent He has seen her in the bedroom, what runs through that pretty little mind ain't innocent.

"Who's gonna arrested us? The sheriff?" He joked. If he wanted her right now in the back of his cruiser he would have her. "Ain't see you all week outta work. You okay?" He asked in all seriousness, he never wanted her to go back in that house.

That family house in brewer heights was looking more and more like home to him. A home he and Daisy could start a family in. He wouldn't want her to work anymore but, knowing Daisy she wouldn't have that. Wanting to be a working mom as they now called it.

"Don't worry about me" she mumbled, looking out of the window. Lee slammed on the breaks, making Daisy jolt forward in her seat with a curse. "Now you listen to me" he began turning to face her, "I love you Daisy, I'm always going to worry about you" she smiled sadly.

George didn't lay another hand on her but the verbal abuse kept coming. She took it on the chin, knowing her savings were racking up pretty quickly. She could be out of this place by the end of the month if she was lucky.

"I love ya too Lee" she smiled, placing a soft kiss on his lips. "I'm going to look at a house tomorrow". Lee's heart sank, she was going to look at a house, for herself. Not them, together.

He plastered a fake smile on his face "sounds good sugar" he lied. Lee didn't want her living on her own.

It wasn't safe for a young woman to live alone.

" Would ya come with me?" She asked, thoes big doe eyes staring at him. Trying to consentrated on driving was very hard when she was giving him the puppy dog eyes.

"You know I will" he replied,
"I want a big house, with the white picket fence" she thought out loud.

Sounded like the home he already had his eye on. But he couldn't force her into anything, Daisy was an independent woman, he was so proud of her for working hard to her goal.

He just wished it was to live with him.

"Were going to need the room for our family"

Wait our family....

No she couldn't be....

"One day"

On one hand he was glad, he wanted to enjoy his time with her.

On the other he was sad, he wasn't getting any younger.

They traveled the short distance in silence. It wasn't awkward just comfortable.

Daisy in her dream world, imagining her perfect home with lee.

Pulling into the drive to drop her off at the door. He wasn't going to leave until he knew she was inside. But this time he wasn't going to be leaving so soon.

He wanted to be the hero she so desperately needed in her life. "Lee" she breathed, eyes fixed on the broken down door.

Looks like George had what was coming to him. The loan sharks will only wait so long for a payment untill they make a choice.

Make you leave town or bury you six feet under.

"Stay here sugar" he commanded placing a gentle kiss on her cheek, checking his gen was in his holster before leaving.

She sat in silence, her heart in her mouth. Her eyes focused on the door waiting to see who came out first. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw lee reappear from the house. In that moment she didn't care that he was alone or even where her pa was.

Along as lee was safe she didn't care.

He looked as white as a sheet, like he had seen a ghost. His eyes softened as he looked up at her. She watched as he strode towards her."Ok sugar, I'm gonna need ya to come in the back with me. Then you go straight up stairs and pack a bag ya here? No looking back" he affirmed

"Yes Lee" she whispered getting out of the cruiser.

Doing as she was told she walked in the back door and straight up the stairs. Grabbing a bag she stuffed her essentials inside.

She didn't know what was going on or where she was going.

Aslong as she was with lee she didnt care.
