"Sorry if it's hard to catch my vibe, mmm,I need a lover to trust, tell me you're on my side
Are you down for the ride?
It's not easy for someone to catch my eye,But I've been waitin' for you for my whole damn life,For my whole lifetime
Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it ,I see you're focused, yeah you're so independent ,It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it,You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen,So baby, tell me where your love lies,Waste the day and spend the night,Underneath the sunrise,Show me where your love lies,I've been so into your mystery,Is it because of our history,Are you into me?
When it feels so good, but it's bad for you,Can't say I don't want it 'cause I know I do
Come on over, I need your company,Cravin' that synergy
Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it"
Khalid ft Normani- Love Lies
Marie's pov
"Marie why are you lying to me" Am I that bad of a liar? No I don't think I am at least
"All she said was, what is my job here and I told her it was nothing big.....I promise" see I am a good liar
"Are you sure?" God! Will he ever stop
"Yes, but if you'll excuse me I have to finish that file you gave me" I walk away without letting him say anything else
Why can I never just have a simple moment of peace in my life? It's always one thing after the other. First it was my douche bag of an ex and now I have to deal with Jack and his woman drama, god I just need a break!
When lunch time rolls around at 12, I decide to head out and try out this little sandwich shop that is around the corner from the office that I have been dying to try. Stoping by Angie's desk I ask if she wants anything and when she gives me her order I head on out. And nope I didn't ask if Jack wanted anything because and I am purposefully avoiding him (unless of course it's work related).Walking into the sand which shop I see that it's a steady flow of people, which I am happy with because that I means I will be in and out in no time.
Stepping up the counter I give the cashier my order which consists of one grilled chicken sandwich with all the fixings and one roast beef sandwich and a side order of two broccoli cheddar soups. After paying I find a table to sit at until my food is ready. About 5-10 minutes later my food is ready and a cute waiter brings my order. " Is this your first time eating from here?" He asks me
With my guard being up I ask him "Why?"
"Because I would remember a cute face like yours if you were a regular customer" he reply's back
I couldn't help but laugh with how cheesy that sounded.
" Even though that was the cheesiest line ever, I'll have to give that one to you"
"Yeah, after saying it,I realize how cheesy it was" Okay maybe he's not that bad
"Well you are right this is my first time coming here, I just recently moved here and I always walk pass this place and wanted to try it" Okay Marie smooth
" I hope you like it and come back to visit" he says
And of course me and my big just have to ruin it " Visit you or the shop?" What the hell is wrong with me.
"I was going to say the shop but visiting is better".
After my banter with the waiter whose name I know now is Cameron I start my little journey back to work. I head back in and give Angie her food and make my way to my desk. Taking my food out the of bag the aroma makes my stomach grumble. Okay I guess I was starving. Taking a bite of my chicken just made my day some much better and it wasn't long before I finished both my sandwich and soup.Finishing up my lunch, I start to get back into work and finishing up my notes on the Williams case.
I take so many notes that I feel my hand to cramp up and decided with was time to let my hand rest for just a minute. And as soon as my pen touched my desk and looming figure was standing over me and I didn't have to guess to know who it was.
Fucking Jack! One peaceful day that's all I ask but nooo!!
"Yes sir, how can I help you?" I ask
"I was checking in to see how things are going with the Williams case" he ask me and in his voice I can hear the irritation with me calling him sir
"I am almost done taking notes, I did find a few things that did not make sense in his integration with the police, and I did highlight those all in all I would say it's going okay" I am trying to keep my voice as nonchalant as possible
That's good, but I wanted to also make sure that you're still okay from earlier" Why can't he just leave me alone
" I'm fine" short and sweet
"When you walked in, I know that the position Tiffany was in caught you off guard and I wanted to apologize for-" I didn't even allow him to finish before I cut him off
"Listen, we're both grown and whatever you decide to do your office is your business, you're the boss." Take that
"It want like that, me and Tiffany are childhood friends and she has always had a crush on me and she has tried to stake her claim on me more than once,
And that's why I am telling you that it won't happen again, because even though you say everything is fine I know that she said something to you" He says
"I don't care about you and your woman drama I am here to work! I don't care if Tiffany is jealous of someone that she doesn't even know, that's on her and if she did say something I am a grown woman who can fight my own battles, now if you'll excuse I have to finish my notes" not even bothering with giving Jack a second glance I pick up my pen to continue on with my work.
Jack stands there for a couple of seconds before he storms off to his officers slams his door, how is he pissed off when he is the one that brought that jealous woman here? I just want this day to be over with. Finishing up the rest of my notes I pick up my notebook and case file and head to Jack's office. Knocking once he tells me to enter.
" Im finished with the file, I was wondering if you wanted to go over them instead of waiting until tomorrow?" I ask
He nods yes to me and I pull out the chair in front of his desk and I lay everything down and begin.
" I think that Michael is guilty, I was able to look into his background and from the time he was 18 until now he has been in jail 9 times, for crimes ranging from domestic abuse against two ex- girlfriends, elderly abuse against his maternal grandmother, robbery and terroristic threatening towards a police officer and the court, each and every time there was evidence to prove him guilty each time, even now his ex-assistant was able to provide the police with bruises on her body and past bruises where she took pictures of them and text messages from Michael threatening to harm her and her family" This man is a nut case to put it lightly
"Were we able to get the copies of the text message and pictures that the assistant provided?" Jack asked me
"I was able to get them and it's a lot maybe like 15 pages"
"Okay we have the base for everything day so let's come in maybe about an hour early to finish this up, I know that you wanted to do it now but since it's a lot of evidence we need a clear mind for this" I'm okay with that
"That's fine by me, I'll take this back to desk until tomorrow, have a good night"I tell him, heading back to my desk I start to gather my belongings and head out ready to take a nice hot bath and enjoy the rest of my night.
