Three

I had given my statement to Williams and got out of the shower at the station. I ran my hands through my very curly black hair, looking into the mirror. It would have to do but I needed some deep condition in it the minute I got home. I changed into our office uniform, dark polo shirt and navy trousers. I walked back into the office, Leon looking up.

"Come, let's go for that drink," he said, standing up.

"I'm good Leon."

"Yeah, I'm not taking no for an answer. You need it, let's go." I dropped my shoulders, nodding.

"You okay Lexie?" Williams asked me, standing halfway out of her office.

"I'm okay ma'am, thanks."

"You two have a good night. You deserve it." She looked bashful and I just smiled, walking out of the office. I turned to Leon as we went into the car park and he read my mind.

"Ignore her, she feels guilty." He got into his car and I got into the passenger side.

"You think?" I put my seatbelt on.

"Yeah a hundred percent. We should have never gone in there, just the two of us." He shrugged as he was driving. "She should have asked another station to deal with it. But it's done now." I nodded, he was right.

"Where are we going?" I asked, turning my head to him.

"The Queen's head alright?" Leon asked. I chuckled, where else would we go? That place was a police heaven.

"Yeah, thanks. Thank you for trying to cheer me up. After saving my life," I laughed.

"No sweat! I'm a fucking super man me! Save lives and cheer up damsels."

"Damsels? Be real." I rolled my eyes.

"I believe you were very tearful and what sort of gentleman would I be to not cheer up a crying woman."

"Oh fuck off!" I giggled. "Also you aren't any gentleman." I scoffed.

"I think you find I am. You just never let me be a gentleman to you." His voice had a tinge of sadness to it and it made my stomach jump.

"Okay, tonight I expect you to be a fully fledged gentleman." I smiled at him, his eyes on the road.

"Nope, you missed your chance. I might see if there is a young brunette at the bar I can be a gentleman to." He laughed but for some reason his words stung, jealousy waving over me.
