Detective Anagaile: Love & Crime (18+) {COMPLETE}

Chapter 10 - I'm Sorry

Guys WTH? Why ya'll being so quiet? You can talk to me I'm really nice. I don't bite :3

   "Ana! Help me!" Nessa screams as she tries to fight a man throwing punches at her face. She gags in pain as one of the punches collides with her mouth. "Ana don't just stand there help me!" She cries as the blood oozes from her mouth. But I can't move nor can I speak. Hot tears stream down my face as I watch the man on top of my friend beating the crap out of her.

  "I'm sorry." I said while opening my eyes filled with tears. I cover my face as the unbecoming light in my bedroom almost blinds me. I remove my hands and blink my eyes as they try to adjust to the brightly lit room.

  I roll over on my back and I start to think about what would have happened if I was there to help my best friend. I sigh as I realize that I shouldn't be doing this to myself. Holy shit. Where is Chase?

  I roll over on my side and there is a note on the pillow.

Note: "How do you survive here babe? There is no food in the house. Gone shopping for breakfast. -Chase"

  I smile as I finish reading the note holding it up to my nose. It smells like him. I look at my clock and its 8:15 am. "Not enough sleep." I growl.

  I sit up on my bed and I wince in pain. "Guess I won't be forgetting last night." I said to myself  as I acknowledge the sore feeling between my legs.

                             ****
   As soon as I was finished showering there was a knock on my door. That must be Chase. I throw my bathrobe on and head straight to the door. "Took you long enough, I'm sta- harv-... Charles?" Why was the captain at my door at 8:28 am?

  "I'm sorry to be here this early in the morning. May I come in?" I'm hestitant as to if I should let him in or slam the door in his face. I step aside holding my head down and gesturing for him to come in. "Thank you." He says while walking pass me. I close the door after looking if Chase was out there. Where was he?

  I walked pass the Capt. heading into my living room then taking a seat in my couch putting my feet beside me. He walked over and sat in front of me.

  "Listen Ana... Detective Dubois. There is no right way to put this but I just wanted to apologize for all the trouble I have caused in your life." He says staring at me as if he was expecting my expression to soften

  "You're right about everything. I don't wrong you for anything that you said I'm the one that was wrong. I took everything out on my workers. I guess when I saw my life falling apart I didn't think that anyone else deserved to have their's together." He says looking down on the ground holding his hands together.

  "Is that all?" I asked with no sympathy at all. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry. I hope that one day you'll forgive me." He says while standing up to leave. "Thank you for your time." He says while walking to the door. "Do I still have a job?" I asked.

  "You're one of my best, I wouldn't fire you for standing up to me. I wish everyone that works for me has balls as big as yours." He says smiling while opening the door. Outside stood a shocked Chase with gorcery bags in both hands, he was in different clothes too. What the hell? Did he buy the whole grocery store?

  The Captain looks at Chase and Chase looks back I see a smile emerge on Chase's face, "Smith." The captain says while walking out the door, "Captain." He said while giving him way. He comes in and I shut the door. "What was that about?" Chase asked with a questioning voice as he sets the bags down on the counter.

  "He came to apologize." I said while walking over towards the bags. "Wow really? Wellll... I'm sorry I took so long. I stopped at my house." He said while walking up behind me and wrapping his arms around me.

  "Did you buy the entire grocery store?" I asked looking into the bag. "Haha. No but I bought enough stuff to last for the week." He said placing a kiss on my cheek before removing a giant bottle of orange juice from the bag. "I'm hardly here Chase that's why my house is so empty, this stuff will probably go to waste." I said while scowling at the bags.

  "Do you want me to take it back?" He asked with a confused look on his face. He was probably wondering why I wasn't thanking him. "I'm sorry, thank you. I forget my manners sometimes." I said unloading the bags. "Its okay." He says taking his phone from his pocket.

  "I'm going to go see Nessa before we get back to work." I stated. The room is quiet and he doesn't respond. "Chase?" I said while emptying out the rest of the bag. He's lost in his phone I roll my eyes and continue to pack away the stuff.

  I left some of the things he bought to make a sandwich. One sandwich. What the hell was he doing on his phone? I made my sandwich and he begins walking towards me, "I'm starving, thank you." I pull the plate away that my sandwich was resting on. "Make your own sandwich!" I barked taking a bite of mine and throwing the plate in the sink before storming off.

   I sat on my bed eating my sandwich, when I was finish I brushed my teeth and put underwear on I then begin searching for something to put on over them.

  I'm distracted by a figure standing in the doorway. But I didn't even bother looking around. I put my hair in a high messy bun, I then walked over to where my clothes were and I took my pant up.

"You know I thought you were hungry that's why you barked at me earlier. But I guess not, because you haven't acknowledged my presence." He said and I glared at him. I roll my eyes and I sit on the bed forgetting about my damaged area I wince but I was hoping he didn't notice.

  "What did I do?" He asked walking towards me. I put one foot in my pant and ignore him. He kneels before me holding onto my pant. "Chase let go." I scowl. "Not until you tell me what I did. We were fine minutes ago." He says while looking up on me and I look down at him... his eyes widen and he moves his head as if he's saying 'well?' "You ignored me." I said and he places his hand on my cheek, his hand feels so warm and I lean my head into his hand.

  "I'm sorry. What were you saying baby?" He asked and I smile. I knew I was acting like a baby so his choice of name was relevant.

  "I want to see Nessa." I said my voice low.  "Okay, finish getting dressed and we can go before we start our day." He said before standing up and and placing a kiss on my forehead. It sounds good when he says 'start our day' it makes me feel warm.

  "Chase. I almost forgot about the picture of the boy's mother. Can we stop at her house first?" I asked while standing to pull up my pant. "Sure." He says before exiting the room.
