Love In The City

Call

Enjoy!

The very next day, Nick was pacing back and forth in front of his home under the bridge.

'What should I do? I don't have money like that to spend on a lady, I can't even afford a decent meal unless Judy pays. I can't even afford my own apartment and the money I get from being a cop is only helping me enough to buy food but still what if she rejects me? But then again, we can only get to know each other first before anything more happens'

He thought to himself. He immediately stopped and shook his head.

"Okay, thats enough. I need to do this"

He said determinedly as he went to a nearby payphone and dialed up Honey's number. It rang three times and Nick was starting to have second thoughts until a voice answered.

"Hello?"

Nick immediately blushed at the voice.

"H-Honey, its me Nick. The police officer you met yesterday"

"Oh right. Hello um I don't mean to be rude but are you calling me from a payphone?"

She asked. Nick quickly took a look around trying to figure out how she knew that.

"Uh yeah I am"

"I thought you had a cell phone"

Nick nervously scratched the back of his head and quickly came up with a lie.

"Actually, I lost my cell phone when I was chasing after a criminal, I just didn't have the time to go buy myself another one yet. And by the way, how did you know?"

He asked curiously. Honey laughs on the other line.

"Well it said a collect call and I don't even know anyone in prison"

Nick laughs nervously.

"Yeah. So um have you thought about my offer yesterday?"

He asked.

"My answer is yes"

Nick couldn't believe his luck.

"Uh ooohhh okay, great. I'm I'll pick you up at your place"

"Sure sounds great."

Honey then gave her address to Nick and quickly said a farewell goodbye. Nick quickly tried to make himself look presentable wearing his usual wrinkled green Hawaiian shirt and light brown pants. He then made his way walking to Honey's place, he was surprised to find himself at a very nice high class area. He finally arrived to the home and was surprise to see a house that was big enough to be a mansion.

"Okay here I go"

He said as he walked up to the front porch and pressed the door bell. The door was then immediately open to reveal Honey with a bright smile.

"Hello"

She said happily. Before Nick could respond a voice came from behind Honey.

"Madam how many times do I have to tell you that I should be the one to open the door since I am your butler"

Said a elephant wearing a tux. Honey rolled her eyes and turn to look to the butler.

"And how many times do I have to tell you that I'm not hopeless, I can answer the door myself"

She replied. The elephant shook his head.

"Very well then Madam"

"I'll be back later, bye Victor"

Honey said as he closed the door and let out a sigh as she look back to Nick who was staring at her.

"What?"

She asked surprise by the look.

"You have a butler?"

Honey smiled.

"Yeah"

"And this house is yours?"

"Yes"

"You're rich?"

Honey raised an eyebrow as she study his expression.

"Is that really what you care about?"

She asked sadly. Nick quickly shook his head.

"N-No of course not, I was just surprise that's all"

Honey then smiled.

"Well then now that is out of the way, where are we headed?"

She asked as she walked down the sidewalk by his side. Nick slightly frown as he looked down at his pocket and took out the money he had.

'Great, only $12 dollars. What can I buy with that, maybe I should change my mind and come up with an excuse and take her out next time when I get paid'

He thought sadly as he stopped. Honey notice that Nick stopped walking beside her, she stopped and turn around.

"Nick?"

She asked. Nick looked to the ground sadly.

"Um on second thought Honey, I think I might need to take a rain check"

"Why?"

She asked as she walked up closer to him.

"B-because I-I.... Something came up"

He said quickly.

"Like what?"

She asked. Nick scratched the back of his head nervously.

"My partner called me and we have a case that needs to be..."

He said trailing off as he notice Honey smirking at him.

"What?"

He asked confused.

"How exactly did your friend called you, if you said you have no cell phone and besides it hard to call back from a collect call. So what is really going on?"

She asked.

'How did she..'

He thought trailing off. Honey stood looking at him up and down like if she way studying him and began to laugh. Nick was confused.

"What are you laughing about?"

He asked slightly annoyed from being laughed at. Honey then calmed down.

"Tell me if I'm wrong, you are worried about the money or how much you are going to spend, am I right?"

She asked. Nick's silence gave her the answer as she giggled before clearing up her throat.

"How did you figure?"

"Because judging from your clothes you are struggling, you have a couple of tears, and it looks like you been wearing this outfit since forever. And when you saw the butler, the questions gave it away. So you thought since I am rich that I would want to go to a fancy place but you can't afford it"

Nick looked down at himself and then back to Honey.

"My body told you all of that?"

Honey laughs again and leaned closer to whisper to Nick's ear.

"I'm a profiler, I work at a behavior analysis unit with the FBI"

"You're kidding right?"

He asked.

"Nope, now come on. Let's go to that diner place again, I would like to know you and I'll pay"

Nick smiled nonetheless and followed her to their destination.
