Say Yes, Senator

I never knew cars were so small until I felt suffocated, sitting wishing I was in that bedroom with her. She turned slightly and slipped on an old tee shirt, and I was glad it wasn’t some overreaching, sexy piece of lingerie or something. It just suited her in its own way.

She came closer to the window, and I could then see a slight smirk on her face. She reached to the side and then the lights flicked off.

“Fuck me.”

Chapter Ten: Rose

It had been a week of tortuous build up. I didn’t know what exactly was building up, but I knew that I couldn’t stand it.

Every night one of those deliciously sexy men was outside of my apartment keeping watch over me. And when I had two glasses of wine instead of two, they would just be watching me as I put on what I considered a show. I knew nothing about trying to be subtly sexy or trying to make men want me, but I guessed I was trying.

At first it was insane thinking I could just be naked and then have the effect I wanted. Nate was my first try at it and I thought I did okay, except I had to pleasure myself at the thought of him just to fall asleep. It was the same with all of them. The night before last it was thinking of all of them that finally got me off.

It was still very new to me, being attracted to all of them. Wanting the three of them together and separate…and together. I had no idea what to do with it, just that it was driving me insane.

I had each of their numbers at that point and they gave me daily updates on who was keeping watch and whatnot, but we never talked about anything else. Not about the case or anything either. I wanted to send them some racy texts a few times, but I decided against it.

“You have been oddly happy all morning.” Dina cornered me as I was resting at the nurse’s station. I had just got done with three beds and two admissions; those always take forever because of the transfer of files. But us nurses try and work together, so we can make our lives easier.

“Um, I haven’t.” I tried to lie but Dina saw right through it. I just laughed, and she sat on the desk in front of me.

I never knew how she could keep her full face of makeup looking so good throughout the day.

“Come on, you have been acting super weird the past week. Is it because of that crime scene near your place?”

I sighed. I should have known she would figure it out soon enough. She watched the news just as much as I did. I knew I didn’t want to keep the truth form her anymore either, but I knew even the slight truth would open the entire can of worms. Still, she was my friend. Even if she was only a work friend, though I knew she was more than that. Our work just didn’t allow for much free time outside of the job.

I took a deep breath. “You know that witness they keep talking about? The one that called 911?” I raised a brow at her. She shrugged in response, saying yeah.

“It was me. I was there walking Parker. He went crazy and I followed him. I saw the whole thing, except the shooting. That happened when I was running away,” I blurted.

Her eyes widened as her jaw dropped and her face went over a whole flurry of emotions. It was insane. But she slowly realized everything and then squeezed my shoulder gently.

“Oh, Rose. Are you okay? Why didn’t you tell me?”

I twisted my lip. “I don’t know. It wasn’t real yet. It still kind of isn’t. I made a statement, but I don’t know if they really need me yet.”

“Holy shit. And you’re okay with going back there? You should

come and stay with us!”

“That’s okay. I have people watching me,” I said before I realized it. She gave me a funny look and I knew she wasn’t going to give me any peace before I explained everything.

“These cops…they were at the scene. One of them is the detective I gave a statement to and the other two are cops. Of course, they are all gloriously beautiful, but…I don’t really know what’s going on. The first day I was with them, I realized they were into me. And I’m into them too, all of them.”

“Seriously?” she whispered. I nodded with a guilty smile.

“Yeah. I mean, we haven’t done anything. Well, when they watch me I undress in front of the window but that’s it.” I giggled nervously.

She started laughing and then we were both laughing hysterically. It was kind of funny, and it felt good to finally be honest with someone about what I was going through.

“I never would have thought you could do that. I’m so proud. Why haven’t you done anything? Are you not into it?” she hinted.

“It isn’t that. I think there is just a bunch of shit going on.”

“Hmm. Sounds like life. Well, if you need a break from the watchmen, you can come and stay with us.” She smiled.

“Thanks. I might need it if I have to go another night so sexually frustrated.”
