Dream Catcher

Red Head

Y/N's POV

It's been weeks since Lauren got hospitalized and we don't know if she'd come back real soon.

Anyway, I arrived at the office hours earlier than the others, I woke up at 3AM and I couldn't sleep anymore so I decided to go to work.

I'm currently doing some of the paper work to lessen my team's burden as much as I love being an agent, I hate paperwork luckily, I have my creamy morning coffee with me so I am at peace.

The other employees are starting to flood up the building, the glasses around my office are transparent and I can see the people coming out the elevator from here.

The red-headed agent named Grace just got out of the box, I always have a thing for red heads. Now, I sounded like a creep you know I just love the hair color especially if it's long.

Very attractive for me.

I fixed my hair and my suit because I know she'll be passing here any minute. I pretended I was doing something then at a certain point in time, I lifted my head and looked outside my office.

"Good morning!", a radiant Grace said as she waved at me.

I can't move, OMG.

This is so uhm beautiful, what a good start for today!

"Have a nice day, Gracie!", I replied as I awkwardly waved my hand trying to be as calm as the still waters.

What was that? Gracie? Oh really? That's the best nickname that you could come up with? Why am I so awkward? I could've smiled so I wouldn't look like a total loser. 

I should really work on my flirting skills, I'm getting all rusty.

In the next moment, the elevator revealed Lauren. I flashed outside my office to greet her.

"I'm so glad to see you today, feeling good?"

"Yes, boss. It's been weeks and I've missed you...I mean, you guys the team."

"That's good, let me take you to your desk.", I circled my right arm to her shoulder just in case she falls, I'd be able to catch her.

As we glided to her desk, I saw tons of expensive chocolates on top of it and beautiful scented get well soon cards.

"Nice welcome back gift, Bradley.", I said.

"What? How did you know it was from me?", he blushed as Lauren carefully examines him.

"I am a homicide detective, Simpson.", I tapped his shoulder as I went back to my office.

After a minute or two, Lauren and Bradley came inside my office greeting me with their heads down.

"Oh hi, you two can sit. So about your relationship, we have some rules here that you are violating. Can I ask what is the status of this relationship that you are currently having? There is nothing to hide, not with me.", I asked.

"We're in a romantic relationship, we just tryna figure out things and going out for dates. Yeah, we're dating.", he replied.

"I wouldn't call it "dating" though, it's just that I appreciate his feelings for me and we're vibin'. Your little welcome gift is cute but I don't like chocolates.", Lauren added.

I let out a silent chuckle. That was a lot for Bradley to take in.

"I don't care about what kind of relationship that you are having but rules are rules. Any kind of romantic relationship in a team is forbidden. If you wanted to continue that relationship, I will transfer one of you to another department to avoid conflict. Is that understood?", I lectured leaving the two of them exchanging glances at each other.
