It's been about a week since Waverly surprised Nicole at work, and Nicole had a pretty good week of settling into her sheriff duties. Thankfully nothing too crazy has come up yet, but this is Purgatory, and you never know what will pop up out of the blue. BBD had been taking care of the revenant side of things, which was nice. Nicole loved helping them, but sometimes she enjoyed the simple human robberies and murders. Am I a bad person for being relived when I get a human murder case instead of helping with a case of any kind involving revenants? she thought to herself.
She looked around the office as people one by one left, Nedley, Janice the secretary, officer Launie, and sighed. This was the only part of being a sheriff she didn't particularly like, always being the last one to leave. She wished she could spend more time with Waverly, but this was her job, and Waverly knew how important it was to her. Just then Wynonna waltzed into the room, carrying a bottle of whiskey with her.
"Hey Haught-sauce, you ready for our little drinking party on the floor?" she asked, already buzzing hard. Nicole smiled and shook her head.
"Not tonight Wynonna. Another time? I have some paperwork I have to finish before I go home," Nicole said, stretching her arms behind her head. Wynonna pouted.
"Well fine then, I'll just have to find a Mr Holliday to be my drinking buddy," she said as she sulked out of the room. Nicole laughed quietly to herself. She never thought she would be friends with the likes of Wynonna, who went against everything that Nicole stood for, but somehow she loved that crazy Earp.
About half an hour into her paperwork, Dolls appeared in the doorway.
"Dolls," Nicole said looking up at home from her desk. "I didn't know you were still here."
"I had some research to do on a case that's kinda busting my balls. I'm still not finished, but im taking a break. How about you go home. I'll work on this for you," he said, moving to stand beside her.
"Oh that's ok, I'm almost done anyways," she replied. "Besides, I asked for this, wanting to be sheriff and all."
"True," he said. "Just make sure you spend some time on yourself, and don't get over tired." Dolls said, heading back to the BBD office.
"Will do Dolls," Nicole said, returning to her work. Another twenty minutes and she turned out the lights, walking down the hall to where Dolls was still bent over his desk.
"Hey, I'm heading out, you need anything?" she asked.
"No, I'm good, thanks. I'll probably be here all night, but still lock the door behind you."
"Ok. Have a good night. Get some sleep," she told him on her way out. On her way to the homestead she texted Waverly just to let her know she was coming over. She had been sleeping at Waverly's every weekend, since Christmas, and she loved Fridays for that reason. Pulling into the driveway, she put the car in park and walked up the steps to the porch. She could hear music coming from the house and was surprised that Waverly was still up, seeing as it was almost midnight. She walked through the door and the smell of vanilla cupcakes instantly hit her, making her dimples show. Taking her boots off, she walked into the kitchen where Waverly was, in nothing but Nicole's flannel, sleeves half rolled up, with only one button done, singing along as she baked. Nicole just stood back and watched, smiling. She would have been extremely turned on by the sheer amount of toned tummy and legs had she not been so tired.
The way she tells me I'm hers, and she is mine... Open hand or closed fist would be fine... Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine...
Nicole never really understood Waverly's obsession over Hozier, or Waverly's playlist of music in general, but it was cute to watch her when she loved something, so Nicole never minded listening to it, even if she didn't like it. Suddenly Waverly caught sight of Nicole and almost dropped a whole tray of cupcakes.
"Nicole! Don't scare me like that!" she squealed, setting the tray down and coming over to kiss Nicole on her tip toes. Nicole wrapped her arms around Waverly's waist as Waverly wrapped her arms around Nicole's neck.
"Well, that's just payback for last week," Nicole replied with a wink. "What's with the late night baking?" she asked, reaching over to slip her finger into the bowl of frosting, bringing it to her lips and licking it.
"Well," Waverly started, looking sheepish. "I missed you, and because you haven't been here since Monday morning, my sheets and pillows don't smell like you anymore, so I baked some vanilla cupcakes, cuz you smell like them," she blushed, turning around and starting to take the cupcakes out of the tray. Nicole giggled.
"Did you know, that you are the most adorable, amazing, sweet and sexy girlfriend ever?" Nicole asked, reaching for Waverly again. Nicole wrapped her arms around Waverly's waist from behind and bent down to kiss her on her neck. Waverly craned her neck to give Nicole more room.
"You might have mentioned that before," she said with a smirk.
"Well," Nicole replied, turning Waverly to face her and lifting her chin with her finger. "I'm here now, so you can stop baking, and come to bed with me," she said as she planted a soft kiss on the shorter girls forehead.
"Let me just put these away so they don't get stale and I'll be right there," Waverly whispered.
"Don't take too long, I'll probably fall asleep before you come in," Nicole called as she made her way up the stairs, undoing her utility belt as she went. She barely made it into the room, got her clothes off and got herself into bed she was so tired. Waverly whisked in a moment later, after turning off the music, not bothering to take Nicole's shirt off and crawled into bed, burring her face into Nicole's neck. Their bodies pressed together in a loving embrace, both girls fell asleep easily.
