LAYLA TOSSED IN BED. It had been exactly two weeks since she had become a rookie.

She knew hiding her and Tim's relationship would be hard but she didn't exactly like having to ignore him to avoid suspicion.

Tim came out from the bathroom rubbing the tiredness from his eyes before he looked at her yawning slightly. "Still can't sleep?" He asked.

Layla shook her head. Tim got back into the bed his arms wrapping around her. "What's on your mind?"

Layla sighed. "Everything. It's just everything is going way better than I thought it would and I feel like I'm going to mess things up with Nolan or for him. And I don't want to mess up so bad that he's screwed up. Because if I screw up it screws him up. And after everything that happened with your dad. I just feel like I'm not here enough for you anymore."

Tim squeezed her waist tightly to comfort her. "You can't think like that. Especially not in the field. You have to trust herself. You have to trust your gut."

"I know, I do I just. I'm scared Tim."

Tim sat up causing Layla to do the same as he placed a hand on her face.

Tim paused. "Babe, you had all the time in the academy to be scared. You're in it now and you know I wouldn't let anything happen to you."

"Tim-"

"I'm serious. I know I'm not with you all the time but I wouldn't let anything happen to you regardless. Nolan is a great and he also won't let anything happen to you. I trust the guy with my life and I don't normally do that."

Layla sighed softly nodding. "I definitely needed to hear that." She ran a hand through her hair.

"As for me, we spend all of our extra time together. I know this is hard, keeping things secret but it won't be for forever."

Layla sighed softly nodding. "I know, it's just weird. Hiding things from everyone, especially when you look so sexy in that uniform."

Tim chuckled softly at her, his head falling to her neck as he placed a kiss on it.

"Stop flirting you need to sleep. We have work."
