An Italian Old Fashion Love

Chapter 9

The following morning I got a domestic call. twenty - eight year old man drunk and fighting with his wife. I showed up on location and knocked on the door "Officer Astori, please open up" I knocked again. I could only hear screaming and crying I decided to shoot the door lock and let myself in with my partner behind me. I placed the gun back in my holster. "I'm Officer Astori what's going on here?" I looked around the living room and kitchen, things have been thrown and broken the women had blood dripping down her arm "ma'am can I ask what had happen?"

At this time my partner grabbed the man and took him outside to talk with him. "I came home after a long day of work and found my husband in bed with another women" she said crying. " I am sorry for calling, I should have walked away and left" I looked her over and she had makeup running down her face. "Ma'am a man that would do this to you isn't a man worth fighting over, but calling us we had stopped something from becoming worse than what it is now. My partner is outside talking to your husband right now"

She interrupted me "Ex-Husband now." "Okay if you wish to follow with divorce you have to go downtown there is nothing that I can do, all I do is make sure everyone is safe" I said while looking at her. She grabbed a cloth and put it on her arm for the blood to stop. "I will have the paramedic look at you". I walked out to where my partner was. He had the man arrested and already in the back of the truck. "Hw has a criminal background for domestic violence, so we will be taking him in" my partner said. The ambulance showed up and I talked to the paramedic "she has some sort of a deep cut on her arm, she is bleeding" the paramedic thanked me and we headed down to the jail and took him in.

I started to think of Shabella, she doesn't leave my mind now. I wonder how her appointment is going. My partner looked over at me "Brodie how's it going? "good why you ask?" I looked over at him. "well you been quiet ever since that call, what's up man?" "nothing just thinking about this girl is all" I smiled. "Brodie's got a girl, What?" he joked. "Don't have her yet but we have a date Friday night" I started thinking more about her. "well I am happy for you man" he punched my arm and we carried on with our day.

Waiting in the waiting room thinking about Brodie yesterday in the kitchen made me smile couldn't get him off my mind. He's amazing, he had saved my life. I am so thankful for him. While in deep thought my doctor called me back, apparently so deep in thought I didn't hear my name being called so she walked over to me "Miss rose we are ready for you?" she smiled. "sorry must have been in deep thought" I said while standing up and following her. She took me to a room "I'm Mrs. Lynch I'll be your doctor today since your doctor is out of office today. If you could lay back on the table and lift your shirt to your breast so I can look at the stitches." I laid down and did what she had said. She took off the gauze she was very pleased on how it looked, she put new gauze on it. "it looks good Miss. Rose I would say Friday you can start taking showers and can keep the gauze off." I pulled my shirt down and sat up and followed her out the room and to the desk to pay for my appointment then headed out.
