I Spy, You. (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Six: The Business Card

Alex's POV

~

Liam Stark. 

That man knew how to stir up trouble. Giving me his business card was one thing, but randomly sending me a text in the middle of the day. Ludicrous. Foolish. But then again, he was awful ballsy. I had told him about my boyfriend. I had practically spewed water all over him at the restaurant. Yet, he still continued. 

I looked down at the text. 

Hey Lex, it's me, Liam. I know the date didn't go how you wanted it to. Especially with me being there and all, but I'd like to make it up to you, if possible. 2nd chance, maybe? I'd like to hear back from you. If not, I understand. I was out of line crashing you and Deandra's date. 

P.S I got your number from Dee. No stalkerness intended.

The last part made me laugh. He was awfully good with words, I had to give him that. 

I began to type back, but then my senses caught up with me. What the hell was I doing? I had Cameron. I love Cameron. Even though I don't like Liam that way, or anyway at all actually, I would be dishonoring his trust by replying. 

I locked my phone, but I didn't erase the message.

I sighed as I left for work. Ms. Summers was cavorting out in the hallway as usual, no doubt waiting for me. To my surprise, she was fully clothed and her boobs actually looked more perky today. You see, you can read most women by their facial expressions, but with Ms. Summers, it was how firm her boobs looked. It was an inquired way of thinking that I had noticed in the past however months. 

Once she noticed me she brightened up and started running towards me. 

"Alexander? I haven't seen you in forever, young man! Have you been hiding from me?" 

Well, no, not exactly. Maybe involuntarily. 

"Of course not!" I laughed, though I made it sound believable. She smiled at me. "I've just been busy with work and all lately. . ." I dropped off. I had nothing more to say, and it kind of surprised me. Usually Cameron was here to make things less awkward.

"Oh dear," she chuckled. "Speaking of work, I hear Cam-Cam got transferred. That must be hard on you especially since your relationship just took off a little ways back! Tsk. I'd be drowning in tears by now."

Thanks, Ms. Summers. Like I really needed a reminder that Cameron was gone and I was stuck with Jones. And Liam. Maybe Dee if she'd actually tell me before giving random people my  number!

"Yeah it's been tough," I said honestly. "I miss him a lot."

She got that wink in her aging eye, and I knew I was in for it. She got closer to my body and leaned up in my ear whispering, "If you ever get lonely, you know where to find me."

It sent chills up my spine, and not the good kind. I wanted to vomit. But I just laughed it off again and said, "I'll keep that in mind, Ms. Summers."

"You better," she snickered as she left me standing in the hallway and returned to her apartment. That woman just kept getting creepier and creepier every time she stepped out that door. 

Now, time for an ever-boring day at work without Cam-Ca- I mean Cameron. Jones had better watch himself today. No one was there, except for the Captain, to hold me back. Jones may have slightly more experience than me on the force, but that didn't matter. I would be the lead in this partnership whether that suck-up liked it or not.
