Serrrrrg!

She shook her head softly, the way he overworked himself was  crazy. But she knew he does what he does because he cares about the wellbeing of others. “Thank you” She murmured while accepting the shirt. Slipping out of her clothes and setting it aside, she pulled his shirt on with ease. Nimble fingertips ran backwards through her hair as she took a deep breath. She didn’t know how to say she needed him without sounding weak. Nibbling on her bottom lip she looked down at her hands. “Do you–do you um mind if I sleep with you?–I promise not to steal all your covers.”

Sergio walked back into the room and looked over at Lana. He hoped this wouldn’t really affect her too much. “You also promise not to snore?” He teased and jumped into bed. He waited until she was in bed next to him and turned off the lap by his bed. Getting comfortable he took a deep breath and sighed. “You’ll be aight,Lana. I’m sure they’ll catch whoever did it. I’ll put out a word for a cop car to go down your street every night if necessary.” 

“I know, which is exactly why I worry about you.” A brief soft smile parted her lips. All it took was a sum of a few words and the brunette had already felt a little safe. Following behind him as he led her inside, she fiddled with his fingers as her shoulders shrugged upward slightly. “Bed.” She didn’t really want to talk about it, she didn’t really know where to start. The woman felt silly for feeling this way but it was like someone took away her security tonight the last time she had felt like this she was a teenager. She just wanted to feel safe again. “We both need sleep, and I am making sure you get some superman.” 

“Sleep is for the weak.” He said in mid yawn. Sergio walked into his room and took off his shoes before going into his closet and grabbing two tshirts. One for him and the other he handed to Lana. “You shouldn’t worry about me,Lana. I carry a gun everywhere I go.” He smiled at her and walked over to the bathroom to change and to also give her her privacy. “You could stay in Ryder’s room if you want. He won’t be home until tomorrow.” He called out.

“Yeah, I called them–” A low sigh escaped her as she fell into his warm embrace, nodding her head she held onto him for a brief moment. “Thankfully I wasn’t home, whoever it was really trashed the place. The cops where there for hours, I didn’t want you to have to drive all the way over there so I came here. You’ve been busy.” She admitted. “I couldn’t really sleep there tonight, I just–yeah.” She couldn’t entirely bring herself to admit it, but she didn’t feel safe in her own home at least not right now. Maybe that’s how she ended up here at his door, there was the underlining emotion of feeling safe when she was with him. “I’m sorry–for waking you. You work crazy hours as is, last thing you need is to get woken up. You don’t sleep enough.”

“You know your superman don’t need sleep.” He said to her rubbing her back in soothing circles. He didn’t want to show her but he was honestly freaked out. It was one thing solving crimes for people you didn’t know but to know something had happened to someone he cared about made him afraid. Lana was a dear friend to him and he admitted to Ryder that he had developed feelings for the girl. He planted a kiss on top of her head and laced his hand with hers, leading her inside his apartment. “You wanna talk about it or do you just wanna go straight to bed?”

Sergio didn’t want to know what time it was and he honestly was too sleepy to look. He had gotten home exhausted from the recent case he had been working on and hadn’t bothered to eat nor take off his shoes. His room mate,Ryder spent most of his days at his girlfriends house which meant the apartment they shared wasn’t as rowdy as usual. The ringing of the doorbell jolted him up and he rolled out of bed,disoriented. Sergio walked to the front door,his eyes still half way closed. “Yo this better be Beyonce at my door step right now.” He called out as he opened the door and was met with Lana. He rubbed his eyes and let out a yawn. “Girl I swear to God...” He began in a low voice until he heard what had happened. That really made him wake up. “Are you alright though? You weren’t there were you? Damn... Did you call the cops? Wait.. I’m a cop. Why didn’t you call me?” He rubbed his eyes and grabbed her by her hand pulling her into a hug. “Come on,mami.”

"Sounds like they’re boring and I’m not. Score for me." Pulling him back to press her lips to his, she lets him go. "For hours? To what do I owe this precious gift?"

"They are meat heads." He laughed and kissed her back eagerly. "What? I can't just come home and spread your legs and just eat you out? I don't have to have a reason right? Because I don't have one. I just want to come home from a long day at work and eat my girl out." He shrugged and picked Lana. "Let's go"

"I’ll take that dare. Oh please." He said with a laugh, "Ava loves those pine cones, she’s not going to beat me with them. Uncle Ryder is the coolest. Ask her yourself."

"You've done something to my daughter because she legit has been asking to take her to your house so she can play with Mason and Uncle Ry'." Sergio laughed,shaking his head and throwing a paper ball at his partner. "You're brain washing my daughter."

Ryder let out a chuckle and nodded. “You’re going to have to start calling me sir, or I’m putting you on suspension.”

"Put me on suspension I dare you. I double dog  dare you. I'll get Ava to beat your ass up with those damn pine cones she brought home the other day."

"Is this where you throw in the ‘I told you so’? Because I don’t need to hear that right now." Ryder nodded, letting the words sink in. "I will, the second it goes south. I know, God, I know they are. I just need this shit closed so I can boss you around more."

"Because you know if I even think I smell shit I am leaving your ass behind. You won't even see me. I'll be like Speedy Gonzalez out that mug." Sergio joked trying to lighten the mood. "Ah yeah. Bossing me around. You think you funny."
