Shadow Play

08. Eren

     This was the third time I was staring at the profile picture on the caller's ID.

“How the fuck did she get my number?”

Logan chuckled.“she specially requested it from Orion.” He shrugged smacking a pile of paperwork on the tiled floor.

Orion was my boss at the precinct. I thought he'd know better than to give my number out all because someone requested it.

“Without my permission?” I raised a brow.

He shrugged.“it was a special request ”

I sighed, I'll just block her. She was becoming a nuisance, I'd never seen a woman so persistent.

“what's the  deal anyway ?” He asked.

“another desperate whore ” I got up from the couch and headed to my room.

“At least you attract whores for free. I have to be discrete enough not to get caught.” He sighed.

I rolled my eyes, not in the mood for further conversation.“Forget about women and do your job. You have until the end of today to hack the security system.”

He shot me a glare.“ I don't plan on remaining celibate like you.”

“you know the rules, Logan. I can't keep covering up for you.” I said, cooly.

He snorted.“ we'll see who's gonna cover for who, I feel like that lady is gonna get to you.”

I ignored him and got into my room. I prepped myself for work. I had a lot to do tonight, and I'd rather not have any distractions.

Three seconds later my phone rang.

I frowned, now she was calling. I just stared at the caller ID until it stopped ringing. Next, a text followed, and  I creased my brows.

- I see you're shy, I find it attractive.-

I hesitated for a while before tapping on the screen.

- Don't you ever give up, I'm not interested in your body so get lost -

   
I waited impatiently for her to type whatever shit she had in her head.

-don't care! I'm not interested in your body either -

I scoffed, She was bold.

- Then what the fuck do you want? -

-Don't use the F word with me, boy. Plus, you don't want to  know what I want -

 
       She was gritty, I'd give her that credit but I don't have time for this. Under normal circumstances, I would have taken an interest in her but I had more important things to do with my time.

- If you want a one-night stand just say it. I can make some recommendations- 

- Oh, you want one? Or better still I could kiss you -

She twisted my words; she was daring, which I found amusing.

- Fuck off !-

- see you in court Eren, I'll give you that kiss -

I didn't reply after that and just tossed my phone on the bed.

      There was a five per cent possibility I'd never see her again unless she chose to come to the precinct.
    I snorted; how the hell is she going to kiss me?

It suddenly dawned on me. She mentioned in court.

    I sighed in frustration. I would appear in court tomorrow because I was assigned to transport the accused to the court and would stand guard throughout the court hearing.
