Dodging Bullets || Antonio Dawson

quince.

Alejandra moaned, opening her eyes slowly. A raging headache filled her head and her body felt like shit. She looked around and it took a second for her to realize she wasn't in her own bed.

The blue comforter was definitely not hers even though , she could definitely smell Antonio. She rolled over and noticed a photo on the dark brown nightstand with her phone on the charger. The photo was of Antonio , holding Diego and Eva. She rolled over before looking up at the ceiling. 

Alejandra realized she was in Antonio's bed.

Sitting up as quickly as she could , she pulled off the comforter to see she still had clothes on , well atleast her bra and panties under a CPD shirt. 

Her head started to throb again before she finally decided to get up. She stood up and cracked her back , her daily ritual getting up every morning.  Lazily scratching her head , she went into the master bedroom bathroom and used the bathroom before walking out. 

She walked out the door to see stairs close by. She went down them before hearing voices. At the end of the stairs was a front door. She turned and walked down the entryway.

Eva and Diego were enjoying the living room. Eva was on the floor coloring and Diego was laid on the couch , watching Power Rangers. 

"Look who's up."

Alejandra noticed that Antonio was in the kitchen with Gabby and Matt at the island. She boredly waved and the kids finally noticed her.

"Miss Ali !" They both shouted. Alejandra's face scrunched up since her headache was getting worse. They ran over and gave her a hug.

"Hey kiddos." She said spoke lowly as she could for them to hear her.

"Daddy said that you had too much fun and had to stay asleep." Eva said as Diego went back to his show.

"Well I think he was right. Go finish drawing okay ?"

Eva nodded and ran back to coloring. Alejandra walked back into the kitchen.

"HEY!"

Alejandra jumped and groaned, holding her head.

"Hi Gabby."

"Sorry , I just wanted to be mean." She told her. "Seems like you had a wild night."

"Ugh don't remind me."

Alejandra wrapped her arms around Antonio. He wrapped an arm around her waist and rubbed her back.

"Thank you for taking care of me even though I was being a nuisance , I hope I didn't wake the kids."

"You tried." He laughed, looking down at her. How he looked at her made Matt make a face. He looked at his wife who gave him a look as well. Alejandra pulled away.

"Oh no what did I do ?"

"After dragging you to the car because you were getting out of hand , you wouldn't tell me your address so I had to bring you here. You made me carry you up the stairs because the stairs are too high. Then I tried to get you in the bed but then you ran off to the kids room. You whispered to Diego that you wanted to say hi. Then you came back and I gave you a shirt and walked out."

Antonio gave her a plate of leftover cooked food , aspirin and orange juice. She started eating but stopped.

"Wait , you said I was getting out of hand ? What does that mean ?"

A look went across all of their faces. Gabby decided to speak.

"You said a couple of hurtful things to Severide last night."
