"Detective"Philip called breaking her from his trance
"You can go home now or do plan to go home with me as we originally planned"he smiled but she was tired of pranks and just gave in
"Yeah why not,we could have dinner then maybe watch tv before heading to bed"she said sarcastically and instead of getting a pause from him his smile grew wider as he opened his car front door
"Detective what about your friend or are you planning for us to do something else in secret " he said and she took a pause before getting in and when the car started she responded.
"Yeah I'll give her a call after l've taken a shower "after that the drive was silent.
10:52pm
Kesh and Philip reached the house and Kesh went to take a shower.Glimpses of what happened in the station kept flashing in her mind . Questions filled her mind .
Is this how cases are handled?Just because of a single blow ,they had almost stripped her naked.Somehow she owed Philip even though it was all his fault .
"Hurry , your friend's here"Philip voice broke her day dream and she hurried up and came out wondering how Jade knew if she hadn't called her yet , Philip must have done so, she thought.She saw clothes neatly folded on top of the bed ,she picked them up and it was a long green top and black leggings.It didn't smell new but Kesh was sure it was women's wear not men, maybe Philip wasn't living alone alone .
When she came down Jade was not there yet and it was already 11:39, Philip had lied to her just to get her down.
"Wow , I never knew it would fit you"Philip said coming into the parlour
"Where's Jade"she ignored him
"She hasn't come but when I called she said she will come late ,maybe stuck in traffic"he lied
"sit"he said innocently and her eye twitched.
Was he crazy,how could he ,she wanted to strangle him there but she knew it would be fruitless.She sat and he went inside to come back changed.
"Okay let's have dinner "he said leading her to the dinning room.It was decorated with different flowers and it gave a romantic vibe .
"Wow isn't it a little too much "
"Not for a hardworking cutie like you "he said pinching her cheeks playfully and she smiled .They started having dinner.
"So what do you wanted to talk about"
"Yeah, I think you should stop the case .It's dangerous"
"So that's why, you couldn't say it public"
"Listen Kesh,you are more than an assistant to me"he said looking at her intently and sh swallowed the food in her mouth
"I've lost a detective before a very important one and I don't want to add you to the list"he said his eyes softening as he looked at her .She felt pity for him .She wanted to hug him tight and stroke his hair but she couldn't damage her pride.
"So , that's all you wanted to tell me .Why around 11:00pm sharp uh"she tucked her chin above her head
"Nothing, that's why I didn't want Jade to come because, I didn't want anyone to see me sensitive and sad "she choked feeling his hands being tangled with hers
