Double 0 Idiot

Chapter Part 13- Thou shall not eat pizza with a sullen face!

"I heard murder"- Rosa pops her head in from the kitchen, coffee in hand. 

I spend the next 20 minutes explaining my theory about the tram lines. Now with the actual blueprints of the tram lines in London, curtsy of the internet, because apparently my word wasn't enough. The entirety of the beta team standing around my desk, drinking coffee and discussing the case. Some of the alpha team members also got curious and started listening in about 10 minutes in. And yes that jack-ass from the meeting in the morning continued to derail with his little sighs and sarcastic tones. Asshole. Even now he was giving me dirty looks, oh if I just stab a knife in those 'windows of death' he calls eyes!

"Aiyla!"

"SHIT!- I drop my unfinished coffee down my top and while my top turns brown my face turns beat root red. With everyone now watching me. Why did this fucker keep jump scaring me? 

"Sorry, why do I always scare you?"- Asks Zane. Yeah I'm sure your curious about that, asshole number 2. Now I'm the one throwing daggers at Zane and watch as his smile just keeps growing. And yet... I'm still turned on. What wrong with me!?

"Here let's get you cleaned up, I have a spare top in my locker"- Rosa offers as she leads me to the bathroom. 

"So what is it between you and Zane?"- Rosa asks as soon as the door closes behind us.

"What.. what do you mean?! Nothing I mean.. no.. there's nothing!"- shit my stuttering is a dead give away. 

"Yeah... sure. Seriously?"- Rosa looks at me disbelievingly as she helps me peal the dirty coffee stained top over my head. Handing me the her top. I look at her through the mirror and sigh dramatically and I spill everything. From out first encounter, which I didn't know was our first encounter, our first kiss on said first meeting, me accidentally stumbling into his investigation and essentially saving his life, till now. When I'm finished I look up at her and she suddenly bursts into laughter. 

"OMG, you danced in a fountain, shit faced... while singing 1D!"- she almost screams.

"Be quite will you, someone will hear you. And was that all you took from all that?"- I almost slam my hands on her mouth when she starts choking on another fit of laughter. 

While waiting for her to finish, I look down at Rosa's top now on me. I mean I knew I had big boobs but this was just ridiculous. The top has a deep neck line, laced in a zig-zag pattern with silk string. The shoulders were cut off but the sleeves continued half-way down my forearm. Rosa finally sobered up and look at me with teared-filled eyes. 

"Wow... girl you look... amazing. And very sexy."

"Really? My boobs aren't too obvious?"- Looking in the mirror I had to admit that I did look quite good, sexy even.

"No! Okay I mean yes but the top does wonders to the cleavage, not too much and not too little. Maybe I'll catch Zane drooling a little at the sight of you".  

I give her a little push and we both start laughing again, had we gone mad?! I just discovered the pattern of serial killer, the potential to stop him and here we were laughing! 

"Actually lets make it more it more interesting. I bet you £10 that Zane AND David will both be watching with ogling eyes. And if I know Zane at all he'll give you his jacket to cover you up, he won't like all the guys in office looking at you."- Rosa arches her eyebrows waiting for my reply. 

"David?"- I ask curiously, Zane I understood, I kinda felt his flirting on another level but David?

"YES DAVID. He's been watching you just as much as Zane. It's gonna be fun watching them fight over you. Might need to start bringing popcorn to work. Thanks Aiyla you've made work so much more fun!"- Rosa teases.
