An Italian Old Fashion Love

Chapter 16

"I can now protect you from any harm and I promise I won't fail you." I looked at brodie. I was starting to feel sick to my stomach I am about to know who almost killed me. Brodie continued to talk to me "Do you know a guy name Imad Kings?" I started to cry. They have found the guy but I wasn't expecting it to be him. "Shabella?" Brodie came and kneeled down in front of me he lift my head up and moved the hair out my face. "I'm sorry Shabella, I just need to know if you know him?" I tried to calm down but still was crying. "I don't know him, but I know of him" that was all I could get out at the moment before crying more.

Brodie hugged me tight and pulled away " How do you know of him?" I took a deep breath and told him. "Imad Kings is my best friends Fiance that are suppose to get married next week" "Shabella he is still out there. We know who it is but can't seem to find him, do you know where we can find him?" "No, Emma was over the other night saying that Imad has been gone every since I was shot and his phone goes straight to voicemail, she was thinking that he had cold feet before the wedding and left her." I looked into his eyes with fear. "Shabella everything will be okay. I am here and I'm not going anywhere, would you be okay to coming down to the station and help us on everything that you remember from that night.

"yes I can come down, when do I have to be there?" I stood up and so did Brodie he came over to me and dried my tears and kissed my forehead. " well if you want you can go in with me when I go to work?" he looked down at me and gave me a small grin. " I guess I could" I looked up to him. "Alright well I need to get ready for work ill be back down in a few." I smiled and sat on the floor and was petting his dog. After a while I heard foot steps coming down the stairs so I go up. Brodie was greeting me with that grin of his. I couldn't help but smile and went over to him, He was in uniform and his muscles were showing he looked so good. I grabbed him by his waist and pulled him close " you look so good" He smiled and pushed me against the wall "oh yeah" He looked down at me grinning. then he leaned down to pick me up and started to kiss me passionately. His kiss weakens me so much.

He then pulled away "come on Shabella, we will stop at your place so that you can change. " that sounded good to me. and I followed him to the garage and his dog hoped in the back and Brodie opened my door like a gentleman he is. I got in and we made our way to my house. we got there ten minutes later and Brodie waited in the car while I went in. I tried to hurry to get dressed. I threw on some blue jeans and a grey fitted tshirt. Went to the bathroom and thru my hair up into a messy bun and cleaned the make up off my face, then put some shoes on.

I walked out to Brodie's Police truck and got in. "Okay I'm ready" he looked at me " you looked pretty without make up on, you don't need it" he said with a smile. He pulled out of my drive and to the station we went. We finally got there it was so busy but Brodie grabbed my hand and we went inside passing many other cops and went into Brodie's office and he shut the door behind him. I sat down and he sat behind his desk and pressed a button to call someone in. "Shabella a detective is going to come in and talk to you but ill stay in here if it'll make you comfortable. I started to worry " Okay, yes please stay."
