I just pulled up into the loading dock that was pretty much empty today. I got out of my car and approached the rail where she was waiting for me.
"You really like to make dumbass moves, don't you?" I said, making her turn around.
She scoffed at what I said then stared at me up and down.
"What?" I questioned.
"You falling for that bitch ain't you?" Imani said. I was taken back by what she said.
"Look I told you I was just being friends with her to help your case. Me being friends with her keeps me updated on what's going on. She is very close off to the police department about the case they are building. But yo dumbass just made shit a little bit more complicated."
"How so?"
"Man, I don't know yet because this week's debriefing just got moved up to today. She's smart, and you trying to spark some kind of fear or whatever the fuck might've just fucked everything up."
"See Megan this is why I had to take things into my own hands, you holding out on me. This bullshit you telling saying you don't know and shit like you ain't the whole lead detective on this case. You collect the evidence, so you should know what kind of case she is building."
"I don't know what she could have possibly built with that evidence. I left out so much helping yo ass that it could be impossible to build a case on someone."
"Then why the fuck am I still being investigated then?"
I sighed in frustration because I don't know what Victoria could've pulled. I haven't seen her since the night of the kiss. Every time I stop by her office, she's either in a meeting or not there at all. She won't return my calls, nor will she let me up when I visit her house. Today's debriefing will be the first time I can interact with her.
"Look they have a suspect for the shooting. I found out this morning, Toni somehow was able to get camera footage from the store across the street showing the gunman being let in. Then 20 minutes later he is seen running out with a gun in his hands. They want me to go get him. That's where I am supposed to be headed." I was holding out because the closer they get to Imani, the sooner I can find out if she had me targeted. But I knew I needed to give her information to get off my back.
"I knew you were holding out on me. This bitch must have you wrapped around her finger but let me remind you. If I go down, I am taking you with me." Imani said before purposely bumping into me as she walked away.
I know the risk of being dirty, but with Victoria involved I am questioning things.
I quickly scooped up the suspect and put him in processing so I could head to the debriefing meeting. As I headed to the conference room, I saw Victoria in the hallway heading for the bathroom. I looked around before I made my way in after her. It was a personal bathroom so technically only one person is supposed to be inside, but I didn't care.
As she closed the door I pushed it open walking inside. Locking it behind me.
"What are you doing?" She said backing up. "You can't be in here someone could've saw you."
"Why you avoiding me?" I said ignoring her question.
"I am not avoiding you, Megan. I just have been busy with work the last couple of weeks."
"Yea you picked after I kissed you to pick up your workload."
"It is not about that Megan. Look this friendship developed really fast, and I don't usually befriend coworkers. I don't know how to say this, but that night was just a lot."
I was taken back by that, not going to lie. She won't admit it but she was avoiding me. For once she is trying to spare my feelings. I just rolled my eyes.
I walked closer to her causing her to back up but I didn't stop till she hit the wall behind her. There was still a gap between us.
"So you regret kissing me?" I asked looking into her eyes as she tried to avoid eye contact.
"I didn't say that. In fact, I liked it..... a lot."
"Then what is the problem?"
"That is the problem. I liked it. Mixing business and pleasure can get me disbarred and you fired."
I just scoffed at what she said because kissing Victoria is the last thing I am worried about that will get me fired.
She was trying her hardest not to look at me. As she spoke, she looked down. "Megan maybe we shouldn't be friends." She continued to look down this time she was playing with her fingers.
I closed the gap between as I placed my hand under her chin lifting her head up. "I want you to look me in my eyes and tell me that." I said as our eyes met. I seductively stared at her as she looked at me practically being me with her eyes. But before I could even make my move, she beat me to it and kissed me. Of course I kissed her back. She kind of won dominance over me and I let her.
When she moaned into my mouth, I knew we needed to chill since technically both our bosses were outside. I pulled back. "What happened to not being friends?" I joked.
She looked up at me. "Impossible. These last couple of weeks you were all I could think about." Oh but a minute ago you were trying to let me go. Instead of pressing it I just moved on.
Her phone started to vibrate indicating the meeting was about to start. We did the middle school bathroom thing when one person went out as one waited a couple minutes to leave after them.
During the meeting I could barely focus because of her beauty. She was wearing a tailored pantsuit that showcased her curves in the best way possible. Her hair had a side part with the front slicked back and tucked behind her ear. I don't when she fixed her lip-gloss, but her lips were a perfect nude gloss.
"I appreciate everyone gathering today. I know as a team we have been working to take Imani Johnson off the streets for years, but we didn't know till these pass couple of weeks that she was a small player in an even bigger game." Victoria spoke to the room, and I scrunched my eyebrows confused about where she was going with this. "Ms. Johnson is our target, but she is also our leeway to the MSM gang. We all thought that Ms. Johnson was a product of the foster care system, but she did find her parents or shall I say parent. Here enters the leader of the MSM gang and known drug lord, Bobby Taylor, Imani Johnson's biological father."
I sat up slowly realizing Victoria uncracked the one major thing that Imani is paying me to keep hidden.
