Chpater 2- late.

"No matter how quietly she spoke the world would spin a little slower just to hear what she had to say."

My phone buzzes and I look at the message. The name reads Rosaline and I sigh throwing my phone back down.

I can't believe I actually gave her my fucking number. Everyone knows I hate using my phone, simple call that's it. Rosaline, however makes it a daily thing to text me multiple times a day even when I ignore her.

"Woah what's got you all pissed" Josh questions from the seat next to me popping some chips in his mouth. I ignore him and the other 2 fuckers in my car.

"Ignoring is rude bitch"

Little fucks.

Grabbing the water bottle next to me I throw it at him. "The hell I was just being honest"

"You know I know a guy who can get you in for your anger issues I heard he's very helpful" Jake speaks up patting my shoulder.

I clench my fist on the wheel fighting the urge to throw something else at them. I should've made them drive up here themselves. Jake can stick that guy up his ass.

"Which way"

"Left"

I nod and turn. Soon I see a warehouse and quickly pull in. The quicker I get this done the faster these annoying fucks can go away.

Getting out my car I walk towards the building. "Wait" Josh calls out. I stop and look at him waiting for him to go on. "What if they called for backup"

Rolling my eyes I take out my pistol nod for Jake to go on the other side.

Josh is right next to me along with Sam. I wait for the signal and right when I see it I knock the door down. "Seattle police department"

Pointing my gun in I look around and see nothing. The fuck? Was this a trap? No I heard Lincoln's a stupid little bitch. He's not smart enough to hide his tracks he won't be smart enough to set a trap.

From the corner of my eye I see him. Lincoln Jones a local serial killer we've had trouble finding him but 3 days ago we caught a lead and now we're here. I nod once at jake and take off running after him. I hate when they make this shit harder than it needs to be.

"Stop making this fucking difficult or I'll shoot your ass right now" I don't have time for this bullshit. He stops and puts his hands up. "Okay, okay just don't shoot me" he surrenders.

I walk cautiously towards him. He turns around and tries to stab me with a knife. Fucking little fucker. I take the knife and throw it to the floor kicking it away then punch him in the face. He falls back and i handcuff him.

After Putting the handcuffs on him I stand him up. We walk back to the main point and I throw him at Sam.

"You caught him?" Sam asks wide eyed.

"Well he's standing there in front of you"  Josh retorts swinging an arm over my shoulder. I look to him jaw ticking and an unamused look, he immediately removes his arm.

"I'll be in the car" I tell no one specific then walk away. They can take care of everything it's not fucking hard.

I wait for about 15 minutes and once everyone's in I take off. I haven't gotten sleep in about 2 days not that I mind I can care less I just wanna get home. "are you sure you don't want me to drive it's an 8 hour ride you need to sleep" sam starts.

"Shut the fuck up" I grumble glaring through the rear view mirror. He shrugs and leans back probably going to sleep.

we get back to Seattle and josh wakes up from the passenger seat next to me. "Are we there yet?" He tiredly mumbles letting out a yawn. I roll my eyes and nod.

"Great I'm hungry there's a restaurant stop there"

I sigh and pull in. Josh wakes the other two shits up and we get off heading inside to eat.

We're quickly seated and I look through the menu while I wait for the waiter. How long does it take to come write down a fucking order?

"Hi I'm Rose your waitress for today, here are your menu's do you need a minute or are you ready to order drinks?"

Well shit.

I look up and meet her brown honey eyes. She looks back at me and gives me a breathtaking smile that makes my heart fucking beat faster than normal.

"Oh my gosh what a small world! hi Damian how have you been?"

"Fine" I answer simple, not caring to start a conversation.

"Oh I've been great I just started my job today!" She goes on to explain even though I never asked. She sounds excited to work here.

"If I'm being honest I'm almost positive I'm the best worker here already, I should be employee of the week" she tells me then winks about 4 times before laughing to herself mumbling about how funny she is.

Her energy is just sweet and bubbly, and well just plain Weird.

"Well hello babe I'm josh I would love Dr Pepper along with your number." He winks at her.

Rosaline giggles then looks at josh "hi it's nice to meet you, Of course we can be great friends!" She types her phone number in Josh's phone then hands it back to him.

she gets her pen and notpad ready to write. "I'm jake can I just get a sprite" he keeps it calm and collected. Rosaline happily nods.

"Yea" she writes it down, I watch as her eyes slowly glide over to mine."Now what drink would you like?"

"I'll get a Dr Pepper" I reply clearing my throat.

Why is she so happy?

"Okay I'll be back with your drinks" she leaves and i watch her ass as she goes. Perfectly fucking round. I bite my lip then blink a few times before returning my focus back on the menu skimming through it.

"So how do you know my boo" josh questions raising his eyebrows up and down.

"Shut the hell up" He talks too fucking much. Jake, Sam and josh have their own conversation and I look through a few emails on my phone.

A few minutes later Rosaline returns.

"here are the drinks now ready to order?" Jake nods and orders first then it's my turn and I order a steak.

We eat in silence, these fuckers know I hate talking while eating and I'll gladly fuck them up.

Once we're done i pay for them because they 'forgot their wallet'

"Guys don't be jelly bitches she may be my new bestie but I will always love you damey and you jakey" he tells us dramatically while sighing.

"Don't fucking call me that" I grumble trying to keep from punching the shit out of him.

"Oh and thanks for paying bestie! We know how rich you are so thanks for helping us smaller people" he puts a hand to his heart looking to jake.

Sometimes its too tempting. Why the fuck do i still hangout with them? I ask myself that every fucking day.

"Well your just upset I made a new friend and you, you ridiculous large man could barely talk to her or anyone"he points out very upset.

I don't have time to deal with his bullshit or anyone's bullshit.

"Pussy"

"Bitch"

"Ugly fucker" they've been arguing for the past 5 minutes and I'm 1 second away from shooting both their asses.

I slam my hands on the wheel "Swear to god if you don't shut your mother fucking mouths up I'll do it for you" I yell out irritated.

"what has your panties in a twist" josh mumbles out. I speed to jakes leaving them all there to fuck themselves and speed off home.

I pull in and get off unlocking the door and entering the quiet environment. finally relaxing peace. It gets a bit lonely at times but overall I like living alone.

No one to bother me and I can do whatever the fuck I want.

Once I'm showered i finish up some paperwork then look at my phone with unread messages from rosaline.

Damian.-hi.

I unconsciously mess with the pen in my hand clicking it over and over again starring at my phone with a weird feeling washing over me.

I can probably get started on some work but I have all day Tomorrow to do that. Maybe she's busy.

Maybe she doesn't want to text me.

I hear a buzz and roll my eyes, swear if josh sends me one more stupid gif I'm going to-

Rosaline -hey! how was the rest of your day?

I stare at the screen for a bit more time then finally decide to answer after erasing every text and re writing. Why am I so worried about a little text?

I don't usually like texting people but Rosaline constantly shoots me text and sometimes i feel a tiny amount of guilt when I ignore her.

It gives me something to do for the night.

I glance down and see another message from her.

'Rosaline- do you like animals?

Damian-no.

Rosaline- I love them too! We should steal a tiger!

Damian- no.

Rosaline- look your worried I get it but it'll be so much fun we can keep him at my place don't worry!

Rosaline-stop being a downer I'd help steal an animal for you any great friend would do the same

Damian-go to sleep.

Rosaline-sleeping is for losers.

I shake my head and switch off my phone then throw it on the nightstand next to me.

I hear my phone buzz and read the messages. She goes on a rant about animals. I ignore the buzzing and text josh to be at work at 8 then go back to the messages.

I look at the time 1:37 a.m.

I saw her eyes and even when she was smiling and energetic if you payed close mind to her eyes, her bags aren't too well hidden.

She needs sleep.

She sends me 4 random gifs then tells me to pick my favorite. I pick the third one no reason just looks better than the others.

Texting her a final Goodnight i put my phone off to the side.

I try and sleep but my minds just everywhere so I stay awake thinking. That girl.

Rosaline a weird bubbly girl.

She interest me, in her long rambles and talks about random shit. How so easily something can have her attention. The way she doesn't mind when I ignore her she just keeps coming back happier than ever.

The world could be on fire and she'll still find a reason to smile. Her smile can make the room light up.

When we met that night I couldn't give a rats ass about her but the way she kept waving off my bitchiness.

And when she asked for my number it felt like I was possessed. Without thinking I grabbed her phone and typed it in. Once she left, it didn't take her long to send me a text. I payed no mind to it but she didn't give any fucks and , she texted again.

Half of me doesn't give a shit about her but the other, wants her full fucking attention. Something about her draws me to her and while I hear the alarm in my head telling me to block her out, I keep ignoring it.

When we left she was leaving her shift too and saw a bird outside. I watched as she ran inside then came back seconds later with a box. Carefully she put the bird in it and walked to her car talking to the bird.

I re adjust my pillow for the hundredth fucking time. Sighing I stand and head down to the kitchen to grab a pill. I only take them when I can't sleep.

Lately every fucking night.

Once I drink it I turn the lights off and walk back upstairs to my bed.

I make a list in my mind of the shit Rosalind does that irritates me while I fall asleep.

She fucking talks too much. She laughs loud. She takes nothing serious. She glows when she smiles.
