Best-Friends With Benefits (Under Reconstruction)

Chapter 29- Double Trouble

If you've ever been awakened by being repeatedly poked in the head by a police officer holding a stick  the morning after your first date with your best friend on the middle of a deserted beach, you would know that it isn't very pleasant.

Though chances are, you haven't.

I groaned, wearily opening my eyes to see the group of cops staring down at us.

For a moment, I just stared at them, silently wondering whether I was dreaming or I had seriously lost it.

"Excuse me m'am? We're going to have to ask you to come with us."

Nope, I was definitely awake.

Still bleary from sleep, I managed to unzip the sleeping bag and sit up. Looking around, I remembered that after our car wouldn't start, we had eventually crashed on the beach in a sleeping bag. And sure enough, when I turned around Conner was still sleeping next to me.

He was almost so adorable asleep, that I didn't want to wake him. But I don't think the police would agree with me too much.

So instead, I brought my hand back and whacked him in the chest as hard as I could.

"Ow!" He immediately jolted awake, sitting up and looking around wildly. His gaze stopped to glare at me, before widening as he spotted the officers behind me. "Uhhhh, hi?"

"Sir, you and your girlfriend are going to have to come down town with us." The first police officer told him gravely.

Man, it was way too early in the morning to get arrested.

"What? Why?" Conner asked, his voice still rough with sleep.

"Hey it's you two!" One of the cops stepped forward, and I recognized him as one of the goons who had arrested us earlier this year. Oh great, what were the odds.

"You know these punks, O'reiley?" The leader asked.

"Yeah Peters! That's Selena and Conner!"

Right in front of my eyes, the fully grown police officers started to gossip like teenage girls, whispering to each other and glancing at us with wide eyes.

"That's them?" 

"No way!"

"They look pretty harmless.."

"Harmless? They're dangerous criminals!"

I cleared my throat, uncertainly standing up only to have half of the men bring out their taizors and point them at me like scared kittens.

"Easy now!" Conner immediately stepped in, moving in front of me. "We're not resisting! Drop the weapons please!"

After a nod from Peters, who must have been the leader, they uncertainly lowered their weapons, though most of them still carried them in their hands. 

"Now." I said, moving to stand beside him. "What, exactly, have we done?"

Peters cleared his throat. "Well, you were trespassing on private property."

I could have slapped myself. No wonder the beach was practically deserted, it was a private beach! Someone lived her for pete's sake! If I had woken up to see two strangers sleeping on my front lawn, I probably would have called the cops too!

I groaned. It was way to early in the morning to be arrested.

I slowly turned to Conner, bringing out my most murderous glare. "You didn't think to check if this beach was private property?" I asked harshly, causing Conner and half of the cops to flinch.
