We pull up at a set of large black gates and Dane presses a garage door opener and drives through them I see a huge house at the end of the driveway its beautiful classy even and im surprised at it thinking Frankie may have lived in some new build mordern house with loada of glass and chrome interesting. The car comes to a stop and Frankie gers out but pokes his head back in the car "Get kel to valet the car" he say while looking at the window walle has licked that much its covered in drool ooops "Sorry, hes never been In a car before" I tell him and he just nods "Lets get you and beast inside and settled babe" "His name is walle" he looks at me like im crazy"huh" , "You know the little cleaning robot from the disney movie thats who hes named after" he burst out laughing and so does Dane "I didnt say anything funny" I accuse " whats funnny babe is you naming that mini beast of a dog after a cleaning robot and telling me that after he did a number on my window" "Oh" I say whatever Frankie just grabs beast and takes my hand to help me out of the car "He can walk you know" "Yeah" is the only thing he replys "You get inside ill grab your shit" there he goes again with calling my stuff shit, whats with that? "You can take the guest bedroom, upstairs forth door on the right" I nod and place my hand on his arm " thanks for looking out for me Frankie, you didn'tdidn't need to but your doing it anyway I just want you to know I appreciate it" He pulls me to him and kisses me with so much passion I nearly loose my mind, grabbing his shirt in my fists I let out a shaky breath when he releases my lips and rests his forehead on mine " no problem babe" I smile up at him amd he smiles back then kisses my forehead, told you he could be sweet. "Where should I put walle's bed" "Where does he sleep at home" "On my bed" I giggle "Right whatever then" then he looks at me, "why the dog bed then" "Oh thats for his daytime naps" He just grabs walle's bed and stalks thought the house without replying, ok then lets fine where ill be staying I head for the stairs and taken in the wonder of Frankie's home its cozy with furniture and pictues on the walls of new york, seattle and washington cool, I make to the room he told me I will be staying in and open the door, oh my god its beautiful white furniture with black accessories the bed is what I would assume is built for comfort four poster open top with sheer drapes and a white comforter and pillows I drop my bag and throw myself onto the bed and its like a cloud so soft and bouncy swallowing me up I think ive gone to heaven until I hear a chuckle from the open door. "Glad your making yourself at home babe" I roll to my back and lean up on my elbows and take him in, leaning his shoulder against the door jam with his arms crossed over hos wide chest a smile on his handsome face fucking hell thats it I have in fact gone to heaven, and I've Decided thats where I'll stay forever, well at least until I have to go work for Frankie on wednesday. "You do know you'll never get rid of me right or at least if im dragged out im taking this bed" He just laughs and then walle comes braging past his legs and trys to get on the bed, which even being a big puppy he can't so Frankie comes into the room and lifts him and pollops him down next to me "I need to go out for a while" he anounces "Ok I need to shower and sleep anyway" "Ill catch you later babe if there is anything you need here'shere's my number" passing me a business card "Ok, thanks " then I face plant the bed, yep heaven in the form of a bed. Frankie I make my way to the club, calling Dane on the way "you find any info on the name I sent you" "I called Thomas to do his geek shit" "Fine im on my way to the club I'll see you there I want that file on my desk when I get there" "On it boss man" I hang up the phone it may be stupid to get involved but he meased with the wrong woman, my fucking woman shit dont know where that though came from but that will be put on the back burner to be dealt with later I have other thing on my mind like the asshole who thinks it cool to steel someone else's stuff wjo know what else he did ot took while in her apartment, but finding out he cheated on her, on her who does that shit to a woman like leighton shes sweet, caring, and loyal and ive known her for one day im interpreted thinking about her by my cell with a number I dont recognise "Conner" I answer "Hi mr conners its Lyidia, staff nurse at st judes" "Hi Lyidia did Leighton for get something" "No nothing like that mr conners the police just turned up wanting to speak to Miss DeMarco about what happened to bring her to the hospital" "the cops leave a card Lyidia" "Yeah would you like me to text you the details" "That be great Lyidia thanks" I hang up and wonder what they will have to say ill talk to Leighton about it when I get home, shit shes right when she said it was like we were acting like a married couple but the scary thing about it it doesnt send fear through me fuck how this happen so quick, im sure it has somethong to do with my mother and he stories of love she read me as a boy am sure she will be over the moon ive found someone I have more than a passing interest in, never mind my damn sister who thinks every guy she dates is the one. I make it to the club park my car in my spot amd make my way inside, it's early So no one is about yet. Making my way to my office, I sit and see Dane has left the file for me opening it I look through the information on one Paul Denton, age 25, works at Walter and Wilde investments, known address is about 15 blocks from Leightons apartment, apears to be now in a relationship with his secretary Sharon Smith, and he has an interesting arrest on his record thays all I need to know, I call Dane and tell him to make an appointment with him.

Walking through the door im greeted by the mini beast jumping around my legs, surprisingly its nice to be greeted when I walk through the door un like the silence I normally have " hey buddy" I rub his head and he grabs my shirt cuff with his teeth, and starts to pull "walle no" he ignores me and keeps pulling hes a strong little fucker "stop" nothing "leave" nope still pulling "halt" I give in and let him drag me torwards the kitchen where he lets go of my shirt and starts to paw the unit I put his food on "you hungry buddy" he barks once, well he must me one smart dog and ive decided I really like him just like his owner, I pour him out a bowl of food and put out some fresh water and head up stairs to see Leighton she is asleep still wearing her clothes I shrug out my shirt and jeans and lift the cover from under her amd put it over her bwfore alippinv in bed beside her amd pulling her in my arms she feels good and I fall asleep listening to her breathing.
