Lost in the Memory

Cold as You-Part 1

"You have a way of coming easily to me
And when you take, you take the very best of me
So I start a fight 'cause I need to feel somethin'
And you do what you want 'cause I'm not what you wanted
Oh, what a shame
What a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Just walk away
Ain't no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you"
~Taylor Swift~

Keeping their relationship a secret was probably the most difficult thing Nicole and Waverly had ever had to do. That was a bit of an exaggeration, but it still was pretty hard.

They took every opportunity they could to find a secluded corner to make out in. It didn't make it any easier that Wynonna was notorious for interrupting them.

Sure, they were in the middle of trying to figure out Bobo's plan, but that didn't stop the two lovebirds from having a few moments to themselves.

Waverly skipped into the kitchen one morning after Nicole had stayed the night. She gasped when she realized Wynonna was sitting at the kitchen table.

"Oh hey! When did you get home? I thought you and Dolls were out on surveillance all weekend?" Waverly said, smiling awkwardly.
"Hey baby girl! Yeah we still are. Just popped in this morning to grab my flask, I forgot it. I should be home tomorrow. I'll call you if anything changes." Wynonna said, walking out the front door.

Waverly let out the breath she was holding and went ahead with her plan of making Nicole breakfast before she left for her shift.

Nicole woke up and grinned realizing she was in Waverly's bed. She sat up and checked her phone. Waverly knocked on the door and walked in.

"Good morning baby! I made you breakfast!" Waverly said cheerfully, handing the tray over to Nicole and sitting down on the edge of the bed.

"Baby, this is amazing thank you!" Nicole said, giving Waverly a quick peck on the lips before digging into the food. "Mmm, this is so good"

"I'm glad! Anything for my best baby!" Waverly said, walking over to her closet. "I wish we didn't have to work today."

"I know baby, but tonight we'll have the whole house to ourselves." Nicole said, sipping her coffee.

"And I have the perfect outfit for it." Waverly grins, teasing her a little.

"Oh I'll be ready. Thank you again for breakfast. I better get going. See you later." Nicole said, giving her a kiss goodbye.

"Bye baby! Have a good day at work!" Waverly said, getting ready to head to her shift at Shorty's.

Waverly got into her jeep and drove to Shorty's. Her shift started off pretty normal. A few locals kept hitting on her but that wasn't anything new. Waverly felt like something was off but she couldn't figure out what.

Meanwhile, Wynonna and Dolls were busy doing surveillance. Wynonna nearly fell asleep a few times but something strange caught her eye. She did a double take but the woman was gone. She rubbed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Wynonna, you look like you just saw a ghost, what's up?" Dolls asked, looking out the window with binoculars.

"Nothing, I just-nevermind. I need to either stop drinking before noon or start drinking more." Wynonna said, playing it off. Dolls shrugged and didn't push her any further.
Waverly couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen. She walked up to her most recent set of customers and smiled. The man seemed angry and the women he had with him seemed quiet and nervous.

"How can I help y'all today?" Waverly said, cheerfully.

"I'll have a beer and she'll have water." the man said gruffly as the woman nodded solemnly.
