The Sergeant's Daughter

Chapter Thirteen

Days passed and Saturday finally came. I managed to convince dad and them to let me go see an old friend without uniform following close by. I talked Tommy and Elena into spending time together. I even paid for them to stay at the nicest hotel that I could afford. I lied to them, it wasn't an old friend but, they can find that out later on when I am ready. I haven't seen Michael since our last encounter. I knew he was still lurking the shadows of Chicago, so I kept my eye out.

Around five o'clock I started getting ready for my date. I made sure to wash my hair and shave my legs. I wasn't expecting more than just dinner and maybe go see The Bean but I wanted to be prepared for what may come. I applied some makeup to my face then after that I sprayed on my best smelling perfume. I walked downstairs when I saw Dad sitting on the couch with Henry. They was watching the cubs play. Actually Henry was more of watching the ceiling and dad was watching the game. I walked over to the couch, "Are you sure you fine with Henry?" I asked. "I thought you was seeing an old friend?" He questioned as he looked me up and down. "Dad you didn't answer my question." I smiled. He turned back watching the tv. "Answer mine first." I rolled my eyes and sat beside him. "I am. We are going to a nice restaurant." He waved me off mumbled something to Henry them smiled.

I made it to the restaurant but I waited before going in. I messaged my mystery man to see if he was already or where he might be. A few minutes later my phone buzzed. He was waiting inside the restaurant. I walked in and spotted him. "Hey!" I greeted. He stood up from his chair. "Hey. I'm glad you could make it." We both sat down and chatted for a little while before ordering. We talked about our hobbies, our past even though he knew most of time.
"So, you aren't afraid of my dad finding out about this?" I asked. He laughed a little, "oh I'm terrified." We decided we wouldn't tell anyone until we was ready. If whatever this was went further than a first date. I have to admit most of my dates never made it to a second or third date. I'm sure most never made it to a date at all.
We left the restaurant and went and walked along the Riverwalk. It was so peaceful. The sky look beautiful. I couldn't ask for a better first date. We walked slowly while we talked. He reached over and grabbed my pinky finger with his. I looked down and to see if this was really happening. "Oh my bad. I'm sorry." He apologized and let go. "Don't be sorry but I think I like it better like this." I said and grabbed his hand. Most of the guys I've went out with, it was just a game. I never felt anything for them and they meant nothing to me. However, this one made me feel a whole zoo in my stomach. I felt protected with him. I'm not sure how I would even explain to dad about being with this guy. Knowing my dad he would overreact and more than likely make things difficult, but then again he could totally surprise me. We walked to this beautiful spot. It felt magical. In that moment time stood still. In the moment I was happy. "This is beautiful." I said. "It's the beautiful side of Chicago." He replied. We looked out at the water. We stood in silence. I took in every minute. We looked at each other. I felt my heart race. What is happening to me? I certainly don't act like this. We both leaned in to each other. His lips softly touched mine. I pulled away. "I'm sorry. I thought we was having a moment." He apologized. "Don't apologize." I responded back and kissed him. He placed his hands on my cheeks.

On the way to my house I couldn't stop smiling. I felt like a child you had just won the biggest prize at the fair. I felt the butterflies in my stomach. My mind kept going back to the kiss. Oh it was an incredible kiss. I wanted to kiss him again and again. I pulled up to my house and got out and went inside. Tonight was so worth taking the risk of going out. 
I changed into comfortable clothes, I made popcorn, then sat in the couch and put a movie on. My doorbell rang. "Now who could this." I said pausing my movie and getting up. I opened the door. "I couldn't stop thinking about you." He said. We immediately we in for a kiss. He picked me up and shut the door.

We made it to my bedroom. I reached for his shirt and took it off. I gawked at his body. "I-I, um.." I was speechless. He smiled. He knew he looked good. He laid me on my back and kissed my neck then back to my lips. His hands went up my shirt and up my sides. He lifted my shirt off.

I woke up the next morning. I felt hands around my waist. I rubbed my eyes to see clearer. I rolled over and faced him. "Oh..boy.." I gasped. I peak under the covers to see if I was dreaming. "Nice." He started to move so I quickly turned back over and pretended to sleep. He got out of bed. "Oh man I'm gotta go." He said and jumped outta of bed. "Leaving so soon?" I asked him as I turned over. "If I'm late Voight kill me." He said. "I won't let him do that to you." I smiled. He leaned across the bed and kissed me. "I'll text you later." He said. "Ok. Have a good day Detective Atwater." I replied. He leaned in for another kiss. "You can call me Kevin."
