Love Under Oath

Chapter 3

Troyes POV

The weeks flew by after that horrible day last month and I still wasn't sleeping. I noticed I have been snapping at Ricky too who is only trying to help me, but not only that I was snapping at everyone else as well.

I get ready for work and hop in the car to go to work,

I arrive at work just in time to sign on but only to realise I left my badge at home so I need to go back home to get it on the way out on patrol.

I grab my badge and Ricky walks in after me and says you are still not sleeping mate, not eating either by the looks of it. I look at Ricky and say I'm ok I just don't feel like eating or cleaning. Ricky shakes his head and says mate you can keep going on like this.

I turn to Ricky and say I'm ok just drop it mate please. Ricky shakes his head and says ok mate.

The day flies by and before we know it our shift is over and we return to the station.

As we are walking through the station to sign off Ricky says to me mate you should go and see my mate who is a counsellor he will help you.

I can feel my blood boil and I say can you just drop it please. The captain walks out of his office as I say that and he says Ricky and Troye my office now.

We walk into the captain's office and he says Troye why are you snapping at your partner and why do you look like shit.

Before I can say anything Ricky says Troye is not sleeping. He was at the bad accident we attended a few weeks back and the passenger that died, she died in front of Troye just before the paramedics could help her. It's his first serious accident where someone has died in front of him. I think he is in shock. He isn't eating either and sir I'm worried about him.

The captain turns to me and says you need to see a counsellor. I will make an appointment with the one we use and you better attend.

I nod my head as I don't have a choice anymore.

The day of the appointment dawned and I was ready an hour early as I'm still not sleeping but I have to attend and I know the captain will be checking. I will see how this turns out as I really need sleep and I'm hoping it works out as I don't know how much longer I can go on without sleep. At the moment I'm surviving on red bull.

I turn up for my appointment and as I'm led into the office by a rather attractive gentleman I cant help but look down at his arse. In case you haven't guessed Im gay and my counsellor is rather attractive with a cute arse.

Oh how I would love to be buried in that arse. Have my way with him if I could.

The counsellor turns around and says "you would like to be buried in my arse would you good to know". Oh shit I must've said that out loud.

I blush fifty shades of red and say sorry didn't mean to say that out loud. He looks at me and laughs and says it's fine. Shall we get started? I nod my head and say sure let's get started.

As the appointment finished I breathed a sigh of relief when he shook my hand and said make an appointment for next week and we will continue this.

I walk out to my car and drive home but my mind keeps wandering over to Connor, my counsellor. He is so attractive.

I get home to find Ricky's car in my driveway with Ricky standing in front of it looking at his phone. I turn to him and say hey mate what are you doing here. I thought you would have had enough of me on shift. Ricky laughs and says I wanted to see how you got on today and by the look on your face it went well.

I cant help the blush that adorns my face and I say man he is bloody gorgeous but won't ever go for me now. I just embarrassed myself.

Ricky laughs and says what did you do mate. I blush even more and say I said something I was thinking and didn't realise that I said it and he heard me. I don't think he is gay anyway mate. Such a shame too. I can see myself settling down with this one.

Ricky has this smirk on his face and says trust you Mellet. Now come on let's go get some breakfast, My shout.

We decided to go to the cafe we always get coffee from when we are on duty.

I ordered my usual smashed Avocado on toast and a cappuccino to go with it.

We just sit there talking about my appointment with Connor and he asks me when I go back again. I told him next week and he gave me ways to help get me to sleep. I just hope they work.

That night I tried the ways Connor told me to get to sleep and it worked as all I saw when I closed my eyes was his smiling face. I think I'm falling for Connor.

I turned up for my shift the next day with a smile on my face and Ricky says good to see you smiling again.

We ran into the captain as we went out on patrol and he said good to see you smiling again, Mellet. I see you turned up for your appointment. Thank you for turning up and he can help you. Just keep going until he tells you that you don't need to return. I nod my head and say thanks boss. I will do just that. Ricky chokes and says oh he will be.

I hit Ricky in the shoulder and said get your mind out the gutter Dillon.

The whole day I was in a daydream about Connor. I really need to stop this otherwise I might have a problem.
