The REAL rookie ( The Rookie TV Show )

-28- bouquets

3rd person's P.O.V.

As she drove her red ferrari , Olivia went to the direction of the flower shop she likes .

Their was a purpose of her visit to that shop , in fact , she has wanted to visit it since she landed in L.A. .

The captain is a rose flower type of person , she would melt if someone gave them to her .

So as she made a right turn , she looked at the place of her visit and was surprised to see it open .

She parked at an empty parking lot and descended from the car and went in .

Her outfit was simple , a white crop top with some oversized jeans and a white air force .

" Hello , how can I help you ? " The middle aged woman that run the shop said .

Olivia remembered her face clearly , she has been their before 2 years that Olivia had moved .

" Hello , I would like some roses , dark ones if you have please . " She ordered and rested her folded arms on the desk .

The woman checked her computer , looking if Olivia's request is available .

" Well , unfortunately ma'am , we are out of dark roses , but we have normal ones ."

The client took a second to think about her decision , she really wanted her usual order but it wasnt available .

Eventually , she ordered the normal roses and payed her price .

The roses were placed carefully in the passenger seat as the girl climbed into her driver's seat .

She drove to her destination as she made sure to hear the voice on Googlt maps , afraid that she forgot the way .

When Olivia arrived , she got her flowers and got out of the car .

" The highlight graveyard . " She murmured as she red the sign that stood tall in the entrance .

There was a couple of people there , each of them in their beloved one's grave .

Olivia walked in the path that she clearly remembers from 2 years ago till the moment .

Eventually , she arrived at the grave . Her mother's grave was dusty and looked like it's been there for a decade .

A tear fell down from her face and she cleaned her cheeks from it with her hand immediately .

Kneeling down beside it , she placed the flowers beside the large stone .

She took out a cigarette from her packet that was located inside her black purse .

Lighting it up with a lighter , tears streamed down her face , indicating that she isn't able to hold them anymore .

They kept coming down without any rest as her chest went up and down .

" I don't forgive you , but I miss you . " said Olivia as sobs were heard at the end of the sentence .

The type of people that cry infront of people or in public didn't include Olivia .

The woman likes to keep her emotions private except infront of her loved ones . Which were only Claire ( her sister ) but still .

Claire kept coming onto her mind as she started moving her hand from left to right on her mother's grave , making them dirty like the stone .

After a good 15 minutes , the captain got a call . The caller was placed as ' Wade Grey ' .

She made sure that her weak voice is unhearable before she answered .

" Captain Smith , I called to check if you are okay since you are later then usual on your arrival . "

And with that , Olivia noticed that she still isn't in her work outfit . Strangely , she suddenly snapped .

" I don't need you calling to make sure I'm OK Sergeant . I'm not a kid and I can take care of myself . I don't need you calling my phone if it isn't urgent . And you know what is better ? You don't call me again . "

With that being said , she hang up the phone .

Meanwhile , Gray was confused and embarrassed since he called her during a roll call . All the officers were either smiling or shocked .

" A'right I won . " He said as Nyla placed the money of the bet on their captain's response on the phone .

On the other hand , Olivia puffed another smoke of her cigarette after she hang up the phone .

When she remembered what Grey said , she jumped up from her uncomfortable position .

She ran to her car and got in in a rush . She also placed her belongings on the passenger's seat and turned the engine on .

After 10 minutes , she arrived at her villa and parked her car in the nearest position the the door .

Entering her closet , she threw her purse blindly and got the outfit that she neatly placed on a table .

Lights were being turned while she got into the bedroom , ready to change .

Her current outfit was tossed in the basket that was in her bedroom . The basket literally screamed for someone to take its contents out of it .

When she finished , she reached out for her purse that she threw earlier in the closet .

The car awaited for her as she stepped out of the main door and made sure to lock it .

Arriving at the station she parked her car and got out . It is currently 9:30 a.m. which means that she is 2 hours late .

Climbing the stairs , she scanned the main area , trying to determine if anything is wrong .

The office was unlocked by her when she arrived infront of its door .

And she was met by Grey who entered her office before she could close the door .

" What ? " She coldly said , not looking at his direction and checking her watch .

Olivia guessed that he was here to ask her why she is late , or to ask her about something at work .

He walked up to her desk and placed a bouquet of red roses , similar to the ones she left at her mother's grave .

" These are a second pair for you to place tomorrow . " Grey said and turned around .

The Sergeant went out of the door and headed to his office , leaving a half ready Olivia that was about to slam his head off .

A bouquet of flowers given to her by her co-worker , possibly mocking her , is the least she expected nor wanted .

Surprisingly , her lips curled up as she examined the bouquet , finding it the same as the ones she left .

" At the end of the day " she thought " they will still be the people I used to know two years ago . "
