Lock And Load (Chicago P.D.)

Chapter 26

          I lock myself in the bathroom and quickly fish my phone out of my pocket. I turn it on and quickly dial Roman's number. After a few rings he says, "Hey beautiful! What's up?"

I let out a frustrated breath and say, "Steve is what's up."

"Uh oh."

I take a seat on the floor so that my back is against the door and say, "Uh oh is right. I can't spend another minute alone with this guy. He's driving me insane! I'm running myself ragged trying to meet his every need like a good hostess but he's being too demanding and it's WAY too much. I can't take this anymore Sean!"

"Just take a deep breath, okay?"

I do as he says and then he says, "I'm coming over right away. I'm going to take all of you to the waterpark because you need to get out of that apartment."

I agree and then he says, "I'll be there in 15 minutes. In the meantime, please try not to strangle the guy."

I promise him I won't and then we hang up. I exit the bathroom and go to the living room where Steve and Camille are watching cartoons. When the next commercial break comes I announce that Roman will be taking us to the waterpark. Steve shuts off the TV so that we can get ready.

I take Camille to get our things ready while Steve goes and gets his. I pack Camille's things quickly and send her downstairs with the bag. Just as I've finished getting my things together there is a knock on the door. I smile in relief when I see Roman. We share a quick kiss and I thank him for coming. We then gather our things and go out to his car.
