Our Love Story (rolivia)

Chapter 22

A Few Minutes Later...9:15 AM

After removing the bag of ice from my nuts, I stand up, pull up my pants, button them, zip them up, and redo my belt.

"How do your nuts feel?"

"Better. I'm a little embarrassed though."

"Why?"

"Fin saw my junk." I mumble.

"So? Junk is junk." Liv says.

"Mine's probably smaller than his." I say.

"Amanda." Liv scolds.

"What? It's true. Black people have big junk." I say.

"It's true." Fin mumbles. I jump a little and turn around.

"You scared me." I say.

"Sorry...I didn't mean to. I kind of over heard your guys' conversation, and I must say...you have nothing to be embarrassed about. I've seen plenty of junk in my life time."

"Is that a good thing? Or a bad thing?" I ask Fin.

"A good thing." Fin winks at me. I roll my eyes at him and flip him off.

A Little Over An Hour Later...10:43 AM

I just got done typing up my report. After printing it out, I grab my report, stand up, and make my way to Captain Cragen's office.

"Hey Amanda...how can I help you?"

"Here is my report sir." I say as I hand him my report.

"Thanks." He says.

"You're welcome. How are your...testicles?"

"They still hurt." I mumble.

"I'm sorry."

"Me too. I'm going to go work on some paperwork."

"Ok. You and Liv can go home as soon as you're done with your paperwork, ok?"

"Ok...thanks sir." I say. I leave his office and make my way back to my desk.

"Liv."

"Yeah hon?"

"Captain Cragen said we can go home after I'm done with my paperwork."

"Ok." Liv mumbles.

A Couple of Hours Later...1:00 PM

I just got done with my paperwork.

"You ready to go baby?"

"Yes." Liv mumbles.

"Are you ok?" Liv shakes her head no.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm hungry. I haven't ate anything since this morning." Liv mumbles.

"I know just the cure for your hunger pains." I say.

"What's that?"

"Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, collard greens, and cornbread."

"Ooooo, that sounds good; but for now, can we go to the diner across the street from our apartment building for lunch?"

"Sure. Grab your shit and lets go." I say.

"Amanda." Liv scolds.

A Few Minutes Later...1:20 PM

Liv and I walk hand-in-hand into Black Bear Diner.

"Good afternoon detectives. Take a seat wherever you like."

"Thanks." I say. Liv and I take a seat at a table towards the back of the restaurant. We're both facing the door.
