-Chapter Ten-
I sat down spent. My boots hit the floor with no grace at all. I had nailed that in 3:47. That's pretty damn good.
Officer Chad smiled sitting down pushing a plastic cup of water my way.
"Thank you", I said drinking.
Man was water good now!
"Slow down, slow down Kathy!", he exclaimed pushing down the cup away from my lips.
"You'll get sick if you drink it too fast", he said chuckling.
I pointed at him, "Hey, you were the one who made me haul my butt up hill both ways", I said.
"Because your the only one who would actually do it!", he laughed.
He smiled, "Plus your hair is all ruffled up now", he teased gesturing to the falling strands.
"Senor, Senora, your donuts", said a man.
"Gracias Pablo", said Officer Chad reaching to open the box.
Pablo swatted his hand with a towel, "Oy! The Senora goes first Chris! You abuse the woman! I saw you make her run! You are lucky if she's yes to another date hermano!", warned Pablo shaking his head.
"Pablo! Get back in here! Leave them alone!", snapped a female.
Pablo shouted back, "But he made her run Victoria! The man doesn't know what's good for him! Happy wife, happy life!".
"Practice what you preach Pablo now get in the kitchen!", snapped Victoria.
"Ay! Ya! Ya!", grumbled Pablo ignoring her.
He leaned whispering, "I swear she drives me insane!".
I could tell he was teasing though. Pablo loved his wife. Victoria loved him. But she was a bit on the crazy side. Was one of those mothers who was not afraid to throw her flip flop at her children. But her children were all grown up now.
"Pablo!", warned Victoria.
"Ay! Esperate!", shouted Pablo. (Ah! Wait!)
He twirled his finger, "See crazy I tell you! Enjoy your donuts senora!", he said.
"Pablo Hernandez Teresa!", shouted Victoria.
"Ay! Ya! Ya!Estoy llegando loca!", repeated Pablo walking off into the kitchen and closed the door. (Ah! Yeah! Yeah! I'm coming crazy woman!)
Officer Chad chuckled amused taking a drink from his cup. He shook his head.
"They never change", he said. He frowned, "Come on! Open it! I'm waiting!", he said.
I laughed, "Alright! Alright! Chill, I'm on it!", I said reaching for the box.
I lifted the card board lid. I laughed seeing what was inside, There were a dozen donuts inside. Each of them were different. I covered my mouth a bit stunned. Sure getting a box of donuts was so cliche as a cop. But it was so thoughtful when each of the donuts had little sayings on it.
You got fine written all over you.
Enforcing the law of attraction.
Do you know how fast you were going when you fell from heaven?
Girl, are you a taser? Cause you're stunning.
You're under arrest for kidnapping my heart.
I hope you know CPR because you take my breath away.
You better have a license, cuz' you are driving me crazy .
I looked up at Officer Chad, "You....this is so sweet of you!", I said.
"If I could give you a badge I'd call you Sugar", he said smiling.
And here come the pick up lines, most were already on the donuts. I laughed.
"And I bet that's not the bullet proof vest but all muscle", I said playing along.
Officer Chad picked up a donut winking and took a bite into it. He extended it to me. I reached out my hand but he pulled it back shaking his head. I raised my eyebrows and rolled my eyes. Always trying to embarrass me.
I reached my head forward biting it carefully. The donut was soft and chewy. Sweet and filled with hundreds of calories. But heck breakfast for dinner!
I was about to pull back when Officer Chad leaned forward and kissed me.
