"Mommy! Mommy! I want to ride it." the little girl told the lady standing next to her."Sweetheart , come on let's get you up there" the woman said with kind eyes.
"SAY CHEESE" said the man standing a foot away from them, gaining their attention from the gigantic slide to the camera.
"CHEESE" came their instant reply with huge grins on their faces.
"Show me! Show me!" the girl ran around in circles. Her skirt flowing up and down, gushing with the wind.
"Look mumma! I am like a butterfly!" the girl said happily running around
"Yes, you are princess" the man replied while lifting her up and running around in circles.
The woman looked at them with a small smile and amusement playing in her eyes.
"Lex! Alex! ALEXANDREA !" the voice bringing me back as I toyed with my necklace.
"What?" came my flat response.
"So what do you think about it?" Adrian asked with excitement in his eyes.
"Um.." came out my mouth stupidly as a response to his question. His eyes dulled a bit as I stammered to create a logical response.
"Yes?" He asked again.
Oh crap! What to do?
He is looking at me like as an virgin adolescent looks at a hooker not knowing what to do but eager to do.
"Bad thinking Lexie." I reprimanded myself.
"Oh and there she goes again to Lex planet." Adrian groaned.
"You didn't hear a word I just said. Did you?" he glared through his doe looking eyes.
"No." I mumbled guiltily looking at my shoes.
As Adrian started to open his mouth a shrill voice came from the office. We both looked startled as a woman punched the person sitting next to her and stormed out of the office. Her heels clinking all the way though the end of the hallway as she stepped in the elevator. The blush on her cheeks grew evident as she came to know that she had gained the attention of the whole unit with her half sassed and half melodramatic exit. She flipped her hair to the right side of the shoulder with her hand, while the left one was occupied by by pushing the button repeatedly as she wanted to get out of here as soon as she could.
"Man! She can hit" the man standing next to me said to me with a slight smile on his face.
My face whipped to my right when I heard the voice. I instantly jumped onto him latching my whole body to his as he caught me in middle air with a chuckle. My face instantly buried in his neck as I felt the vibrations of his chuckle pass through his chest. I interlocked my finger behind his head and tightened my hold. To this his hand travelled from my waist to my thies as to hold me as tightly as I held him. I pushed slightly as to look at his face and ran my hands down his high cheekbones as if trying to memorize him. A shudder ran though his body and my plain boring eyes met his swirling green ones.
A cough interrupted us and I jumped back as his touch enflamed my body. My cheeks instantly gong red. A reaction I relentlessly hated.
"When did you come back?" I asked the man standing up to my as his neck became red due to the moment.
"Just now. Thought I would come here directly and meet my favorite person" he paused as he noticed Adrian's glare and tried to correct his sentence.
"What I meant was, favorite people! Favorite people" he tried again. My head fell back as I laughed. Adam looked sheepishly as his friend glared at him. His eyes softened after a while as he hugged him. Adam grinned showing his pearlies to me as if he knew Adrian would come around. Well, everyone knew Adrian could never be mad at anyone for long. I mean he was a big softy.
"Adam!" Maria said. I turned around surprised looking at her. I honestly don't understand how people walk so quietly!
Or you need to get your ass to assess your surrounding betters. Some detective you are!
"You are here!" she said.
No way, Jose. That's his ghost standing their talking to you. Like seriously!
"I came here like just.." his sentence got caught in the middle when we heard a loud voice booming from the office.
"Looks like someone's got caught into trouble. Huh clumsy?" Adam said with a smirk on his face which I wanted to wipe so badly.
How about a punch or a kick? Oh! Oh! I can call woman who just punched a man's face. What a sight it would be!
"Clumsy? Lexie! ALEXANDREA!" Adams voice caught me off guard. I stumbled a little hitting the desk. In the process I hit the pen stand off my table, making it tumble over to the ground. While I was trying to save it I accidentally pushed my ink pot to the table making it leak onto my reports.
Chuckles filled the unit as everyone saw me and my heroic stance to save a pen stand. The loudest of them all were Adams! I glared him and he backed up raising his hands in a surrending motion but still chuckling!
The Nerve of him!
"Ugh!" I groaned. Chief was calling me, I had pens all around my table and on top of it the reports which I had to submit were covered in ink.
"Who even keeps ink pot these days?" Maria's voice screeched in my ears. God I hated that woman! I turned around menacingly.
"You said something?" I growled. She looked shocked but backed up. That's right bitch! Everyone knew that I had a bad temper and better back up before it's too late.
I started to pick my pens again, mumbling insensitive crass words. I jolted towards the office as the chief called me twice. Everyone knew that it's better to listen to the chief before he becomes mad. And he being mad is worse than being in hell. I shuddered as a painful thoughts passed through my mind.
I knocked the door twice before entering his room.
"Yes?" I questioned.
"I want the reports at my table of your previous case. Where are those? I asked for them half an hour ago!" he said.
Dammit!
Now I had ink all over that stupid case's reports. And this excuse was even worse tha telling that the reports were eaten by a dog.
"Well?" he questioned again.
"I am preparing that sir. I will bring them around in 10 minutes. Adam ruined those reports by scribbling with markers all over it." Take that you prick face.
Now who's laughing! I mentally grinned.
"Stop smiling like an idiot and bring me that reports quick." making my smile turn into a frown. "I actually wanted to talk to you about a case."
