Not Everything Done In The Dark Is Shameful Barson Story

Chapter 7

Olivia felt her eyes widen in fear. It was so dark. What time was it? Where was she? She looked around, her panic growing. She looked quickly to her left, and saw what looked like a figure of a person beside her. She straighten her back and sat up quickly.

"Liv, it's Ok." She heard Barba's voice say. "You fell asleep, Her brown eyes focused. Bara was sitting beside her, his right arm stretched out. He yawned. "You're in my office, I didn't want to wake you."

"Oh, sorry" She said softly looking in his direction. He placed his hand gently on her arm, something he wanted to do since he woke up, but didn't dare because she had told him never to sneak up on her. He wanted her to feel secure. She didn't pull away.

"Why?" Don't be sorry."

"Sorry I shouldn't have fallen asleep, sorry I woke you." He felt her moving away and released her arm. She got up from the couch and walked to the light switch on the wall. A moment later light flooded the room. "I have to pick up Noah."

Bara looked at his watch. "Liv it's 3 in the morning, you can't pick him up at this hour, you'll wake up the whole house."

"Oh" she replied sitting back on the couch. She turned to look at Barba. "Did I say anything in my sleep.?"

"No"

"I should get going?"

"Why? It's late, stay and get some sleep. You need it."

"I'm sorry, I never should have fallen asleep. This couch is so comfortable. How do you ever get any work done here?" Barba smiled, he loved how this woman made he smile. You can fall asleep on it anytime, he thought to himself, but didn't say out loud.

"Again, no need to be sorry."

Olivia looked down at her feet, she was wearing brown boots. "Barba my feet are killing me. You mind if I take my shoes off?

"Go ahead. You mind if I turn off the lights?"

"Of course not, go ahead. What do you think, I'm afraid of the dark? " Barba got up, switched off the light, and was beside his friend in moments. "

Of course not." Bara answered softly. He heard her boots hit the floor.

"Thanks, honestly I'm too tired to go to my apartment,

"I know", he answered, within moments he heard her soft breathing, she was asleep and he smiled before falling asleep again himself.
