Jump ahead to almost an entire year since she I met at the pool. Courtney and I had already celebrated my 22nd birthday, and her 19th birthday. Our friendship had gotten Rock solid, and very very strong. We were best friends now. It was just like it was with me and Janine, minus the sex. We joked around and had so much fun. She also went on a ride along with me one time. She had a job and she worked a lot. She made more money than I did. She didn’t work as much as I did, but she worked. I had no clue as to what she did, but she clearly got paid well to do it. I never asked her what she did, I just didn’t think it was all that important.
She still lived in her appartment with her roommates, but spent a lot of time and nights at my house, basically she might as well had been living with me. God I wished she would move in with me. She also had rekindled her relationship with her mom. They weren’t close after her dad and her got divorced, but now they were very very close. They spent a lot of time together and her mom kept hounding her to date me. She knew that her mom loved the hell out of me, but she didn’t tell her that we were seeing each other on a regular basis. Since her mom loved me so much, she wanted to wait to see where it went before she decided to break the news to her. You know, surprise her basically. When ever I ran into the both of them while on patrol, she would text me and tell me to act like I hadn’t seen her in a while. She wanted me to act like we weren’t seeing each other.
I started getting use to having her around all the time and I was also loving it. She had become very very touchy feely and clingy. I loved it! We spent a lot of nights snuggled on the couch together watching movies. Were there feelings? Bigger than shit! I really, really liked her. I wanted to be her man, but I also didn’t want to chase her away. I really hoped that she felt the same way about me. I suspected that she might from how she treated me, how she talked to me, but mostly from how she looked at me, and how touchy feely she was. Let me just cut through the bull shit, I had strong feelings for her. I never expected it, but it is what it is. The only difference was that I knew what the feelings were this time. I wasn’t as young as I was when I had these feelings for her sister. During that time and the time following, she or I never dated anyone. It got to the point that she and I were always together, always. She worked nights and so did I, that just made it easier to see each other.
Another thing that I noticed was that her sadness started to go away. Her poems started to get more and more, I don’t know, more happy I guess. During all that time she spent a lot of hours talking to me about how she felt about her sisters death. As that time progressed, she had gotten to where she could talk about it without crying. She then got to the point that she finally started to come to terms with it. I cannot tell you how proud I was of her and what she accomplished. I still get chills to this day thinking about it. Her drinking had all but stopped. We would have a few beers or cocktails together from time to time, but she didn’t get plastered. She would drink at work too, but never got drunk like she use to. I knew she had come to terms with her sisters death when she asked me to take her to her sisters grave.
I stood with her for several minutes and she let me pay my respects. After that she asked for some privacy. The way she asked me gave me chills. She pressed her body against mine and looked straight up at me. I got butterflies and let me tell you, there were sparks. I thought she was going to kiss me. She then put her hand on my chest and the look in her eyes. Oh god I wanted to kiss her so bad. I stepped away and walked over to a bench where I could see her. I sat down and watched her get on her knees. She started crying and talking to her sister. I watched her hands and arms move as she did so. There towards the end I saw her look over at me a few times. She smiled and waved at me one time. I sat there for quite a while, but I was so happy for her. I watched her change from a very angry and sad woman, to a very happy, very strong and content woman. She had come so far.
After just over an hour later I saw her stand up and turn towards me. She smiled at me, and I don’t ever remember her looking as beautiful as she did at that moment. She walked up to me and wrapped her arm in mine as we walked to my truck. It almost felt like we were together. As we drove home she looked over at me with that amazing smile of hers, but it was somehow different. It was a look of attraction I guess, I can’t explain it.
“Thank you.” She said.
“You’re very welcome. How do you feel?” I asked.
“Better than I ever have.” She said.
“Good. You have come a very long ways, I am very, very proud of you.” I said.
“Thank you. I feel really amazing right now.” She said.
“You should. You should be very proud of yourself.” I said.
“I am. But I have you to thank too.” She said as she grabbed my hand and held it.
“Why, I didn’t do anything. You are the one who did all the work.” I said.
“Oh my god, ok, Adam you have to listen to me.” She said as she let go of my hand, sighed, turned the radio down and turned to me.
“You seriously need to stop fucking saying that. It’s getting very irritating, in fact it’s starting to piss me off. I know you’ve only said that a couple of times, but still.” She said.
“Say what?” I asked knowing that I just got into trouble and looking at her surprised. I had a grin because this reaction, was the very last one that I expected from her.
“That you didn’t fucking do anything. You need to understand that yeah, you did. You can say that you didn’t do anything all you want, but I know for a fact that you did, and you still help me. That’s why it pisses me off when you say that. I know you genuinely believe in your heart that you didn’t do anything to help me, but there is no denying it for me, none! Who was here for me when I went through all of this fucking shit?” She asked visibly upset, and raising her voice.
“Me, I was.” I said.
“Ok, who the fuck was there for me during my worst times, when I was drunk, when I was sad and hurting? Who was there during my worst times when no one else fucking was?” She asked.
“I was.” I said.
“See what I’m fucking talking about? Stop saying that you didn’t do any fucking thing. I get that you don’t take credit for how far I have come and how incredibly happy I am now, I get why trust me I get it. You are one of the most humble guys that I have ever met, and I fucking love that about you, but it gets fucking irritating sometimes. You’re confident, but not arrogant, but you seriously need to understand that you played a major role in my healing process. So yes you did do something, you did a hell of a lot. More than anyone else ever has, so stop fucking saying that you didn’t do anything….. God!” She said frustrated as hell.
It got silent in the truck after that. She was genuinely irritated with me, well, not irritated, but mad at me. Wow, she was mad at me. After several long minutes of silence I stopped at a stop light and looked over at her. I tried to take her tiny hand in my huge hands but she just grinned at me and slapped my hand away.
“No, I’m mad at you.” She said.
“I didn’t mean to make you mad sweetheart. I’m really sorry.” I said.
“It’s ok. It’s not that big of a deal, you just need to understand that I am where I am today because of you, you’ve been right here through all of this. You have been what I have needed.” She said.
“So you forgive me?” I asked.
“Yes I forgive you. How can I not?” She asked as she turned the radio back up and took my hand in hers again.
We sat there in silence for another few minutes as I drove. Then as we stopped at another red light, we looked at each other with smiles.
“Wait a minute, did you just chew my ass off?” I asked as I smiled.
“Yes I did. And you deserved it.” She said as she let go of my hand and punched me in my arm and smiled.
“Wow. I just got my ass chewed from you.” I said as we both laughed.
“I am sure that it won’t be the last time either.” She said.
“Probably not.” I said as I laughed.
She took my hand again and held onto me. As I drove I felt her fingers loosen up. Her fingers slid between my fingertips and making me spread my friends fingers. Our fingers slowly interlaced and we were holding hands like a couple. Chills and this overwhelming feeling of warmth swept over me as her fingers slid slowly between mine. I can’t describe what I was feeling at that moment, I really can’t. All I knew was that I had to kiss her, I had to. I looked over at her and she had the sweetest look on her face. Her eyes burned a hole into me, but in a very good way. I was taking her to dinner and I’ll be honest, my balls disappeared. I didn’t kiss her, but we looked like a real dating couple. I was loving it. I was already getting addicted to her touch and we hadn’t even gotten out of the damn truck! As we walked from the truck and into the restaurant, she and I held hands.
It was hard to believe that it had been almost a year since she and I ran into each other at the pool. Actually, I believe we were pushed into each other by Janine. Look, unless you have really lost someone that you loved you won’t understand this. But it being almost a year since we found each other till then, was fast. She recovered fast and came to terms with her sisters death pretty fast. God I wish you all could have felt how proud I was of her, for making such a huge leap from where she had been for over three years. It was so very exciting for me to know that I was having such strong feelings for a woman again. I wanted to be her man, and I wanted to show her what it was like to be treated the way she was suppose to be. The way she deserved to be treated.
As we sat there eating, she and I talked. My feelings for her started to become overwhelming. She kept staring at me with the sweetest smile and I swore I saw a spark in her eyes. Our phones were off because we both decided that this was going to be so much different than it had ever been. We were on our first official date. I was in heaven, and it seemed as though she was too.
“Hey I have a question.” She said.
“Ok, shoot.” I said.
“What do you think Janine would think if we…if you and I were to, I don’t know. If we were to be together, as in you as my boyfriend and me as your girlfriend and not just friends?” She asked.
“Honestly. I really believe that she would be ok with it, in fact she may even be very excited about it.” I replied.
“Why do you say that?” She asked.
“Because she would rather see you with me rather than anyone else, and me with you than anyone else.” I said.
“I just got chills when you said that.” She said.
“Me too.” I said.
“I know why she would want me to be with you. It’s because you were so amazing to her. She wants me to experience what she did with you.” She said.
“That and she knows you’ll be safe with me.” I said.
“Yep.” She said as she placed her fork down.
“Why do you ask?” I asked.
“I don’t know how you feel about this, or me. So I’m going out on a limb here. And if you say no, I get it, but, I’m asking you that because I like you a lot. You have been so so amazing to me since day one. Over the last year that we have been friends I have developed some really really strong feelings for you. I guess what I am trying to say is that I want to be your girlfriend. I want you to be my man.” She said.
“I feel the same way about you.” I said.
“Really?” She asked as she smiled extremely brightly.
“I would love to be your boyfriend. I’ve wanted to be for a very long time.” I said.
“Ok, I am officially the happiest girl in the world now.” She said.
“So am I…only I’m a man not a girl.” I said.
“Well I swing both ways, so it wouldn’t make any difference to me. But, there is one thing that I need to tell you now that we are officially together.” She said.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“Well um, I don’t know how you’re going to take this, but I am a dancer.” She said.
“What’s so bad about that?” I asked.
“I am a stripper.” She said looking nervous.
“Oh really?” I asked.
“Yeah I have been for a while.” She said.
“Oh wow. God I don’t know what to say about that, other than yum?” I said.
“So you’re obviously ok with it.” She said as she laughed at my reaction.
“Are you kidding me? Look, I have always thought you were so so beautiful and gorgeous. And I want to be with you really bad. I really don’t care that you’re a stripper, that makes no difference to me, yeah I think it’s hot as fuck, but it makes no difference on how I feel about you.” I said.
“Thanks.” She said as she gave me a sexy grin.
“So can I come and watch you?” I asked.
“If you do I won’t be responsible for what I do to you.” She said as her eye brows jumped.
“I won’t be responsible for what I do to you when you get home.” I said.
“Oh you won’t have to worry about anything, I would let you do anything you wanted to do to me and I would love it.” She said just before she bit her lower lip.
“I would let you do anything you wanted to me too.” I said.
“Wow, it’s getting hot in here now. Just so you know, I work at the shady lady 20 minutes south on the highway.” She said.
“That’s a big place.” I said.
“Yeah it is, it’s very popular too.” She said.
“I noticed that. So what’s your stage name?” I asked.
“Star.” She replied.
“I’m definitely coming to see you then.” I said.
“Ok. All the girls I work with want to meet you anyway.” She said.
“I don’t have any sugar daddies to worry about do I?” I asked making her laugh.
“No, no you don’t babe. I am the only one there that doesn’t have one. I pay for everything myself.” She said as we both laughed.
“Good to know.” I said.
“Oh, and since our relationship has gone to where I was hoping it would, it’s time we break the news to my mom.” She said.
“She is going to freak.” I said.
“I know. She isn’t going to know what to do with herself when she finds out.” She said.
“I can’t wait.” I said.
“Me either.” I said.
We finished eating and talking. After we shared our dessert, I paid the bill and we left. We got into the truck and just after I finished starting the truck I looked at her and she was staring at me with a sexy little grin. I leaned over and slid my hand on her face and gently pulled her to me. I very, very gently pressed my lips on hers and gave her a very soft long kiss. I started kissing her over and over again softly and slowly. She opened her mouth and slid her tongue out and licked my upper lip, sliding her soft little hand on my face and resting her thumb on the corner of my mouth. I then slid my tongue into her mouth and we just sat there kissing for a minute or more. After we broke the kiss, she slid her other hand on my face and started caressing my face ever so lightly sending chills through my body.
“It’s about time.” She whispered as she opened her eyes and looked deeply into mine.
“You’ve been waiting for this I take it.” I enquired.
“For way too long.” She said just before we started kissing again.
As we kissed the world felt like it just stopped. I have no idea how long we both sat there kissing, all I know was that I was on a whole different planet. I was that happy. I was finally with a woman, and the best part was that she was so amazing. She was sexy, beautiful and so much fun to be around. After we broke the kiss I put my seatbelt on and we headed for the mini golf course. The rest of our first date was extremely memorable. We kissed a lot and she was so giddy and happy, that she was acting like a young kid. God damn I was loving this time with her!
After our date we went back to my house where her car was. We didn’t sleep together that night or anytime after that. We didn’t have sex either, but holy shit the make out sessions were so so amazing! We would make out for hours and we did that in every room of my house. A little over a month had passed and we were talking about her moving in with me on a permanent basis. We hadn’t talked about our relationship with her mom yet. My mom knew and when I told her, and introduced her to Courtney, she got so excited that she cried. I had to make her promise to not tell her mom under any circumstances. She could tell her that I had a girlfriend, but not tell her who it was.
That ended up working to our favor, because now her mom kept telling her that she missed out on a really great guy. A guy that she wanted Courtney to marry. I was working a lot so I wasn’t around when that happened, but Courtney and I talked about it when we got home from work. We laughed so hard about it, a lot. She and I were still acting like we always did before we became exclusive. The only difference was that we kissed and made out. One day I had got home pretty late, it was damn near 1 in the afternoon. We had a really bad call, and I was now on the swat team. We had a barricaded subject/hostage situation. The guy invaded a home and took the people hostage. He wound up killing everyone in the house and then himself. There were 4 children that were in that house.
That had to be the single worst call I could have ever run. She was so worried about me that she started blowing up my phone when it showed on the news. Her mom had called her, woke her up and had her turn the news on. She was worried about me that she was crying when I got home. She was at her apartment when she saw the news. She b lined it to my house and started blowing my phone up as she watched the news. She knew I was ok when she saw me and pretty much all of my fellow officers walking up to the APC. Once we were back at swat hq, I grabbed my phone and looked at it. 14 missed calls from her and one text.
Courtney: I’ll be waiting for you baby.
I read that text and realized that it was sent almost 20 minutes ago.
Me: I’m heading home after our debriefing, I kinda need u right now.
Courtney: I know, I watched the news. I saw u
I took my gear off and put it in its place, grabbed my rifle put it in the case and headed to the room for the debriefing. We all sat there for a few minutes. For you cop haters, you need to understand that we are human. Despite what you obviously think or feel about us, you have to understand that we have feelings, and there are things that do affect us everyday. That call was no different. That rocked my world and the world of my brothers and sisters. After the debriefing I headed home. I was so relieved to see Courtney’s car parked in the driveway. I wasn’t even out of my patrol unit when I looked up to see her all but sprinting to me. I got out of my truck and she jumped into my arms. She was calm for the most part and the neighbors all came out to see if I was ok. I broke down in Courtney’s arms as I held her. She knew what happened because she heard the shots all being fired on TV and everything.
“I’m so sorry baby. God I’m so sorry.” She said as I cried in her arms.
We stayed like that for several minutes not realizing that my neighbors had all gathered around us until we heard quite a few of them crying with us. After she let go of me, every one of my neighbors all came and gave me a hug.
“Thank you for what you do. I feel safe knowing that you live here.” They all said as they hugged me.
“You take care of him, he needs a friend right now.” They said to Courtney as they hugged her.
“I know he does, I’m his girlfriend so I promise I will take care of him.” She replied as she cried.
“Oh you’re his girlfriend? You’re a very lucky girl.” Several of them said.
“I am the luckiest girl alive. And thank you for coming over.” She said as she cried.
The amount of support that she and I got was very overwhelming. I fell in love with them at that point. I knew I had amazing neighbors now, but so did she. After a few minutes of talking to the neighbors she and I went inside. I took my uniform off and took a shower. She waited for me to finish and then she stayed by me the entire day. I was tired so I went to lay down. She laid with me and held me tightly to comfort me. After a while she and I were facing each other and I fell asleep with her in my arms. That alone made me feel so much better about my day. When I woke up she was still in my bed with me sleeping. It was amazing to wake up with her in my arms. God I could get use to this easily.
I had to go to work that night, so I got up being careful to not wake her up. I could not get over how beautiful she looked in my bed. As I got ready for work, she got up and never left my side.
“You know I could get spoiled by you sleeping with me like that.” I said.
“Maybe I should do that more often then.” She said.
“Every night would be amazing.” I said.
“Done.” She said.
“How did you sleep?” She asked.
“Thanks to you, I slept really good.” I said.
“Are you sure you’re ok with going to work tonight?” She asked.
“Thanks to you, yes I am.” I said.
“Ok then. Please be careful baby.” She said.
“I will. I plan on coming home to you.” I said.
“You better or I’ll kick your ass.” She said with a little grin.
“You mean you’ll try to?” I asked with a smart ass smile.
“I don’t know, you are pretty big. How about I just spank that sexy thing for you?” She asked.
“I’ll bend over right now.” I said.
“Ooooo, please do baby.” She said as her eye brows jumped.
“You would love that wouldn’t you?” I asked.
“More than you know. God you look so fucking sexy in that uniform.” She said as she walked up to me.
“Wait till you see me take it off.” I said.
“Would you please? I would love to see you naked. I’ve been wanting to see you naked since I met you at the pool.” She said.
“Really now.” I asked as I started getting turned on.
“Have you seen how hot your body is? How could I not?” She asked.
“I’ve been wanting to see you naked too. I fucking love, llllove your tattoos.” I said.
“Thank you, I fucking love all of yours. Do you think I’m sexy?” She asked as she started to breath hard.
“I think you’re very sexy.” I said.
“Wait till you see me naked.” She said.
“Can I?” I asked.
“Maybe.” She said with an extremely sexy grin.
Just then her phone started ringing. It was her mom so she answered it and put it on speaker, holding her finger to her lips to keep me quiet.
“Hi mom.” She said.
“What are you doing?” Her mom asked.
“I’m heading back to my boyfriends.” She said.
“I’m still pissed that Adam isn’t your boyfriend.” She said.
“I know mom, but he has a girlfriend.” She said.
“I wish you would have gotten him before he met that other girl.” Mom said.
“It’s ok mom, besides I don’t think he would date me anyway.” She said.
“You never know until you try honey.” Mom said.
“I know mom. I have a boyfriend anyway, so it’s not that big of a deal.” She said as I started laughing. “Hold on a second mom.”
She put her phone on mute so she wouldn’t hear Courtney
“Stop she is going to hear you and know that we are together.” She said as she laughed.
She then took the mute off.
“Sorry I had to pee.” She said.
“That’s ok, so how is he?” She asked.
“He is doing ok. He is going to work right now.” She said.
“Good. Was his girlfriend there? Did you meet her?” Mom asked.
“No I didn’t meet her, she wasn’t there.” She said.
“Ok well, I don’t know his girlfriend but I don’t care what she thinks. He is family and right now you are the closest one to him. He needs you.” Mom said.
“I know. I am going to lunch with him tomorrow.” She said.
“Well let me know. Keep me up dated. When am I going to meet your boyfriend?” She asked.
“Tomorrow if you want.” She said.
“That’s perfect. If I don’t like him I’ll be the first person to tell you.” Mom said.
“Trust me I know. I’ll let you know when.” She said.
“Ok that works, I’ll see you tomorrow then, love you kiddo.” Mom said.
“I love you too mom.” She said.
They hung up and she looked at me.
“So we need to come up with a plan to surprise her.” She said.
“I have to work tomorrow too, so how about we just do it before I go to work. I’ll get ready early while you go to your moms, and I’ll stop by before my briefing.” I said.
“Oh perfect. That works, that’s what we will do then.” She said.
“So when do I get to see you naked?” I asked as I grinned.
“Soon baby, soon. But I have to see that hot naked body of yours.”
She said.
“I have to see yours.” I said.
“Fuck you are so sexy baby.” She said.
“So are you.” I said just before I kissed her.
We kissed for several long minutes and she started to breath hard. She let these quiet little moans out as she slid her hands on my face and slid them around my neck, pulling me closer to her. After several long minutes. We both started to loose control but we both knew that I had to get to work. We broke the kiss and she looked into my eyes.
“Why can’t you just call in baby?” She asked as she released me.
“It’s too late to.” I said.
“So, just call in.” She said teasingly as she grinned and glanced at my crotch.
“I wish I could but I can’t.” I said.
“Pussy.” She said with a sexy little giggle.
“You know what they say right?” I asked.
“What’s that sexy?” She asked with an extremely sexy grin.
“You are what you eat.” I said.
She inhaled hard as her jaw dropped. Her eyes opened wide.
“Was that too much baby?” I asked.
“No, no not at all. You just surprised me, I wasn’t expecting that.” She said as she really started breathing hard.
“Did I turn you on?” I asked as I walked up to her and pressed my body against hers.
“Mmmhmmm.” She replied as she nodded her head biting her lip.
“Have a good night sexy. I’ll call you when I can.” I said.
“K. You’re such an ass.” She said as she stood up on a chair and wrapped her arms around my neck.
“Why is that sexy?” I asked.
“Because you made me all wet and horny for you, and now you’re leaving me. Now I have to use my vibrator.” She whispered.
“Think of me when you do.” I said.
“Oh my god you’re so mean. I wish you didn’t have to work.” She said.
“So do I.” I said.
“You better go before I rip all of this off of you.” She whispered.
She and I started kissing slowly and softly at first. We started to lose control so she broke the kiss and looked in my eyes.
“My sister was right. You are an amazing kisser.” She whispered.
“Thanks, so are you. I can’t get enough.” I said.
“Me either. But seriously, you better go before I rip all of your clothes off and do very dirty things to you.” She said.
“I’ll see you in the morning.” I said.
“I’ll be here waiting for you.” She said.
“Good.” I said just before I kissed her again.
After breaking the kiss she walked me to my patrol unit and helped me load my gear and weapons. She watched me as I drove off. That night was pretty slow. Courtney and I talked a lot that night. The next morning I got home and she was sleeping in my bed. I took my shower and for only the second time, slept with cloths on. She was sleeping so soundly that she didn’t wake up as I climbed into bed with her. I passed out and when I woke up she was already up and gone. She left me a note saying that she was running errands. She made it back around one. She and I hung out and she packed my lunch for me. She then just hung out with me, of course we did some serious making out, pretty much the whole time. After a while I started to get ready for work. She kissed me and left for her moms house.
After I was ready, I hopped in my patrol unit and started to head for her moms. As I was getting closer she called me.
“Hey baby, how far out are you?” She asked.
“I’m about five minutes out I think.” I said.
“So I’ll see you soon then?” She asked.
“Yes you will.” I said.
“Ok my brothers are here too, they want to meet you too.” She said.
“So should I just kiss you when I get there or do you want to wait for a minute?” I asked.
“Ok.” She said.
“Well let me rephrase that, do you want to wait for a bit to string them along?” I asked.
“Well sort of.” She said.
“Ok, so I’ll wait for a second than I’ll just kiss you.” I said.
“That’s perfect” She said.
“Ok I’ll see you soon baby.” I said.
“Ok but hurry.” She said.
“I’m here, tell them that your boyfriend will be there in five or less.” I said.
“Perfect, I gotta go I’ll see you when you get here.” She said.
She hung up the phone as I was getting out of my patrol unit. I walked up to the house and she answered the door. She had the most mischievous grin on her face.
“Hey Adam, what are you doing here.” She asked.
“Oh just thought I would say hi. How are you? I asked.
Her mom and brothers all came out and greeted me. Her brothers liked me really well too. It turns out that they were giving her a bunch of shit for “not dating me” and they were kinda harsh about it.
“If you stay long enough you’ll get to meet Courtney’s boyfriend.” Her mom said.
“It should be you.” One of her brothers said.
“No shit!” The other said.
“Yeah it really should be you. We know you, and we know how well you would treat her. We know because of how you treated Janine. I really wish you two were single. I really wanted you to be her man. There I said it.” Her mom said.
“Well, mom, that’s the thing. He is my boyfriend.” Courtney said as she walked up to me and wrapped her arm around me and placed her head on my body.
“What? Are you serious? Stop fucking with me.” She said as she looked at us, and her brothers jumped up and ran to us.
“I’m serious mom, we’ve been together as boyfriend and girlfriend for the last month or more.” She said as her mom started crying.
“I don’t believe you. If you’re fucking with me I will be so pissed off with you both.” She said.
I didn’t say a word. I just faced her and she stood up on the tips of her toes. I very gently pressed my lips on hers and we started to kiss really slowly and softly. I wrapped my arms around her body and lifted her off of her feet as she wrapped her arms around my neck. My damn duty belt and tach vest didn’t make it very comfortable for her, but at this point we couldn’t stop kissing. We started to loose ourselves in each other when we heard her mom shriek from excitement. And broke the kiss. Her feet were dangling.
“God damn it baby, you have no idea what your kiss does to me.” She whispered as she pressed her head on mine.
“I think I have an idea if its anything like what yours does to me.” I said.
“I love you.” I whispered slowly as our bodies pressed together tightly and as we caressed each other’s faces. I was looking so deep in her eyes getting lost in them. I got lost in her.
“Oh my god, oh my god I love you too.” She whispered as tears filled her eyes and started rolling down her cheeks. “Oh my god baby, I love you.”
She slid her fingers between mine and held my hand as she snuggled against me tightly, after I put her down. She was crying as she pressed her face against my body. After she finally composed herself, she had the biggest, most beautiful, brightest smile on her face. I started to wipe her tears from her gorgeous face. We stared into each other’s eyes as I wiped her tears away. Her mom was hopping up and down, crying, fanning her face, and all but screaming she was so happy. Both of her brothers had huge smiles and came up and gave me and Courtney big hugs.
“How the hell long have you two been together?” Her mom asked.
“Officially as boyfriend and girlfriend for about a month now.” She said as she glowed so much that she was lighting the entire house up.
“You guys are both brats!! Oh my god I’m so happy, Courtney, you better not screw this up, I will kill you if you fuck this up, I swear to god!” Her mom said as she cried.
“Wait, shouldn’t you be saying that to me, about her?” I asked as her mom tried to compose herself.
“I don’t need to Adam. I know that you’ll treat her like a queen. I know what kind of man you are.” She said.
“See?” Courtney said as she gave me the cutest look. She really had stars in her eyes by then.
“So dude, off the record, welcome to the family. I know she is definitely in good hands with you. I seriously mean that man.” Her brother said.
“Yeah man, I’m happy about this. Just keep her in line. I don’t even have to tell you to take good care of her, you already have a great track record for that.” Her other brother said as he gave me a manly hug.
“Yeah we don’t ever have to worry about you again.” Her mom said.
“Wait till dad gets a load of this. I swear he will fly down here to shake your hand.” One brother said.
“Fuck that, he would buy him a damn steak dinner and a beer.” The other said.
“Now wait a minute, she is just as involved with all of this as I am.” I said making Courtney laugh as she still cried.
“Oh don’t worry, she would get spoiled as hell too.” One brother said.
“Oh my god.” Her mom said as she walked up to Courtney and put her hands on either side of her face.
“What mom?” She asked.
“You are glowing, oh my god you are glowing like crazy, so much that you are lighting up my entire house! I have never seen you like this honey. You’re really in love with him aren’t you?” She asked making Courtney start crying again.
“Yes mom. I am in love with him. I love him mom.” She said as her mom started wiping the tears for her eyes.
“You are glowing just as much young man. Wow, you can really feel it filling this room. I am so happy for you two.” Her mom said as she started crying.
“Thank you. She makes me very happy.” I said.
“Clearly.” She said.
“So let’s talk wedding plans.” Mom said.
“Mom seriously? We’ve only been together for about a month now.” She said.
We stood around and talked for a few minutes before I had to leave. I got a really warm hug form her mom, and I watched her mom, call my mom and chew her ass for not telling her about us. It was actually kind of fun hanging out with them. After a while I had to go to work. She walked me out to my patrol truck. She held onto me like she was never going to see me again. I was loving it and I really didn’t want to go to work. She she was right there as I opened he door to my patrol unit. She turned me around and pressed her body against mine as she pushed me back.
“Wait a second.” I said.
“Ok. She said as her glowing smile just beam.
I turned her around and picked her up placing her on the step bars.
“That’s better.” I said as we both laughed.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and we began kissing. These kissed were slow, soft and gently. They were kisses that only lovers shared. After a few minutes we broke the kiss and she hopped down off of the step bars.
“Be careful baby. You have me to come home to.” She said as she pressed her body against mine.
“Ok, I’ll see you later, I love you baby.” I said making her start crying a little again.
“Stop making me cry.” She said as she smacked my arm.
“I love you too.” She said as we kissed again and left to get to my briefing.
As I walked into the station, all of my fellow officers looked at me like I was an alien.
“Alright Adam, what’s her name.” One asked.
“Who’s name?” I asked.
“C’mon, don’t play stupid man, you’re glowing like crazy, what’s her name. The girl, what’s her name?” My former FTO asked.
“Her name is Courtney.” I said.
“Wait, the Courtney that you’ve been friends with for the last year now?” The FTO said.
“Yes that Courtney.” I said.
You see over the year that we were friends and stuff, I would occasionally vent on my FTO, telling her that I really wanted to be with her but wasn’t sure that it was going to happen. I would get hopeful, then loose hope. She kept telling me that it would work out. Hell, she even met Courtney a couple of times. She had no clue that she and I had been together over the last month. It was more than obvious that I was in love with her, for a long time according to my trainer, aka, deputy Burbank.
“So I what are you all dating now, are you two finally actually together officially?” She asked.
“Yep we are.” I said.
“See? Didn’t I tell you that it would work out?” She asked.
“Yes you did.” I replied.
“See? You should listen to me sometimes.” She said.
“So when are we going to meet her?” One of my officers asked.
“You already have.” I said.
“No we haven’t?” She asked.
“Yes you have. Do you remember the gorgeous red head that rode with me a few months back?” I asked.
“No shit?! Awesome dude, she was hot!” One said.
We sat there through our briefing and then we were off for patrol. Over the next few days and maybe a little longer my Courtney got sick. Thank god it was only the flu. When I was home I would baby her. I made her food and got her chocolates and anything I could to make her feel better. Her flu was bad, in fact I had to take her to the hospital. She bronchitis, dual ear infections, and a sinus infection. The poor girl was miserable. It didn’t help that she had started to PMS. I still went to work and I made her stay at my house. I had to serve a bunch of warrants with the swat team so during the next day or two, I was hardly home. I went by to check on her between warrants and brought her anything she needed. She was a little baby when she was sick. I’m sorry, but she was incredibly cute when she was like that. It made me smile, and just want to squeeze her.
