"Rozelle, my name is Rozelle . . . or just Rose. I'm not really used to being called 'Ms. Dawn' haha," She says with a cute smile which surprises me.
Her name is just as beautiful as her. I thought, admiring her beauty.
I decided to play it cool instead of freaking out about her name.
Damn! I act like I'm already in love with her...
"Nice to meet you Rose," I say with a kind smile, instantly regretting my decision of saying 'Rose' instead of Rozelle. Dammit.
I mean she did say 'or just Rose', so bud, I think you got this. The stupid brain cell says.
Surprisingly, she didn't seem to notice that I called her 'Rose' even though we just met like an hour ago.
"Nice to meet you Andrew," She says while shaking my hand and staring at me in the process.
She shook your hand, looks like we're making progress eh?
Damn what the heck is wrong with me today? I thought I punched the stupid brain cell yet again, feeling more stupid.
I notice that Rose was lost in her head so I take the opportunity to mentally beat myself up for making all the stupid decisions I did today.
I didn't even notice the store clerk in the background until he walked towards us.
"Uhm Mr. and Ms . . . Police officers will be here shortly with a tow truck too," The store clerk says with a small smile, "I hope you two will be alright. If you'll excuse me, I'll head back to work."
"Thank you, goodnight," Rose says.
"No problem," The store clerk says heading off to the supermarket.
More silence follows until we see a police car drive past our cars and park close to the bench we're sitting on.
Oh boy this is gonna be good. I thought as the two officers stepped out of their car and walked towards us.
Without looking at us, one of my great officers greets us.
"Hello Mr and Ms- ," Officer Perez stops in the middle of his sentence once he spots me.
"Why hello Officer Hererra and Officer Perez. Surprising evening isn't it?" I say, an amused smirk spread on my face.
I try my best to hold my laughter at the sight of their confused and surprised faces.
I take a short glance at Rose's face and see that she's furrowed her brows in confusion as she looks between the puzzled officers and I.
I wanna laugh at her confusion, but she does look cuter. I thought, chuckling inside at the awkwardness and uncalled for situation.
" . . . This is quite the surprise Chief," Officer Perez clears his throat while fixing his hat nervously.
I don't have my badge on me, so I just let them do their job.
I see officer Herrera turn to Rose most likely for questioning, while officer Perez continues the conversation with me.
"So . . . car crash right?" Perez says nervously.
"Yep, I sighed, "Gotta take my car to the repair shop now."
"Lucky you chief," He chuckles.
I turn to look at him with a questionable look.
"Hah, lucky how?" I asked with a chuckle, knowing what he means but still eager to hear him out.
"You finally got a girlfriend," Perez says while glancing at Rose, making me frown.
"I saw the way you look at her, pretty lovey dovey heh."
Here he goes again. I thought, feeling a sense of irritation but keeping it cool.
"Yeah no. Nothings going to happen. We just met in a car crash, man. Keep on babbling on and on about my love life."
"Psh- 'Nothings gonna happen' We'll see about that chief," Perez muttered and wiggled his brow.
Man, do I want to punch this guy's teeth out. I thought in frustration as I heard a chuckle from Herrera.
I gave them both a cold hard stare that said 'shut up'. Luckly, they did. My cold stare softened as I took a look at Rose while she looked at her nails.
Man, she's beautiful.
"She's a hottie, chief . . . Mind if I take her from you?" Perez said, taking a look at Rose.
Something inside me didn't like that idea. Weird. . .
"Perez," I said coldly.
Perez looked stunned for a second before grinning.
"I'm just joking, chief! Pft- you should've seen your face! Looks like someone really is falling in love with her," He said, looking at Herrera as they both smirked at each other.
"Perez, can you just- ugh nevermind. I'm not wasting my time on you two,"I said, clearly showing him that I was annoyed.
"Yea, you're wasting your precious time talking to me. Hurry up chief! You're missing your chance with a beautiful flower!"
Perez laughed loudly.
"Perez I swear, the second you step foot in the station, I'm going to punch all your teeth out," I warned in a low tone.
"Woah woah chill out chief, but just to assure you, she's the one chief, she's the one," Perez whispered while winking, a grin on his face.
"Yeah . . . don't try to get all excited," I mumble.
"Just at least try to get a girl that will stay with you for a long time," He said, his intentions clear.
