Chapter Nineteen: The Move

(Warning! Sexual content!)

Alessia quickly got dressed into her uniform and grabbed her stuff. She was beyond excited to be moving out into her own place today. She still had time before she would have to head into work. The sun wasn't up yet and the smell of cold air was now coming in. She crossed the water with the first ferry before taking her long walk to her apartment. Once she arrived, the sun started to come up from the sky and she saw someone she knew and smiled.
"Morning chief!" She waved with a smile before walking up the stairs.

"What are you doing here already?" Lin asked while following her up the stairs.
"Just dropping stuff off. Speaking of, the furniture is being dropped off during lunch." Alessia added as she opened the door to her apartment. Lin had closed the door behind her. Alessia went straight to her bedroom and sat her stuff down. Turning to see Lin leaned against her door frame.
"Are you excited?" The older woman asked. Alessia nodded as she walked up to Lin and slid her arms around the older woman's waist and leaned up to kiss the soft lips.
"I have two things for you." Alessia spoke softly. Lin had raised a brow at her when Alessia had let go and pulled out the key from her jacket pocket and handed it to Lin.
"Ah. So I'm welcome anytime?" Lin gave her a smirk as she nodded.
"Of course you are. You knew that was going to happen." Alessia chuckled. She went to her bag and pulled out the small box and handed it to Lin.
"What's this?" Lin asked while opening the box as her eyes went wide before a smile. It was also a platinum ring. This time, this one had a lotus flower engraved into it. Inside the ring had 'Always and Forever' engraved inside. Lin was still smiling as Alessia took the ring and placed it upon the chief's finger.
"My promise to you. So you won't forget." Alessia smiled as Lin gently pushed her against the wall and started kissing down her neck. Alessia let out a soft moan. Which caused Lin to bite her neck.
"Mmm. Not yet love. Though, I am so ready for you." Alessia smirked as she gently nipped Lin's bottom lip. How she craved Lin's touch.
"Come, we need to head in. Plus, my stuff is arriving at noon. Everyone is going to be here." Alessia sighed.
"I'll be here as well." Lin smiled and stole a kiss from Alessia before leading her out.

It felt like the day was dragging. Officer Song came to request a few officers for more clean up. Alessia jumped up quickly to offer her help. She finished the reports. She picked them up and knocked on the chief's door.
"Open." Lion's voice spoke as Alessia closed it behind her. Setting the reports in the basket for Lin and bowed to the woman.
"Heading out with Officer Song to clean up." Alessia reported.
"Thank you. One hour." Lin spoke as Alessia nodded before taking her leave. She followed Song out of the station along with Mako and one other officer. They went into his cruiser before going downtown. There were still several buildings that needed to be cleaned up. Luckily earth benders were able to put their elements together as they can take them apart. Once out of the car, she easily moved her arms in movements that caused the debris to move with her. Clearing the roads out first before fixing the buildings. If a building could not be fixed, they would mark it for demolition.
"Oh, the chief said Mako and I have one hour. We have somewhere we need to be." Alessia spoke to officer Song who nodded his head.
"Roger." Was all he replied while moving the debris as well. Mako however was using his fire bending to melt any metal they couldn't bend to move things a lot easier. It felt like it had been hours as Alessia wiped the sweat off of her forehead.
"We are finished here." Song spoke as they nodded. They managed to get a few blocks cleared as the citizens were thanking them. Alessia bowed to them as she made her way back to the cruiser with Mako.
"Are you excited?" He asked as she nodded her head quickly. She would be staying in her apartment for the first time and she was beyond excited. Plus, she would be sharing it with someone special.
"I'm going to grab some lunch for everyone. Is it just you and Korra?" Alessia asked.
"No, Bolin is coming as well. Don't count on Asami." Mako spoke as Alessia nodded. Taking mental notes on everyone's favorite food.
