Alex's POV
I was woken to the sweet smell of ....breakfast.......breakfast??? my house hasn't smelt this good in....NEVER, I got off the couch and headed to the kitchen, where I was greeted to a bruised but quite happy Norma
"Morning Romero....I'm making pancakes" she smiled over her shoulder at me, but I couldn't help but glue my eyes to the bruises that consumed around her eye
"Pancakes?.....where's the children" I mocked her a little smiling back at her while walking over to switch on the coffee machine
"Well I'm looking at one" as she turned around I realised she forgot to zip up her dress leaving her backside on total show
"Norma....wow" I began to giggle placing my hands in my palms
"What?" She looked over at me a little unnerving
"Turn around" I said while zipping up her dress
"Ahh" she began to laugh in embarrassment "well that isn't embarrassing at all"
"No...you have a nice...backside" I giggled once again reassuring her there was no need to be embarrassed
"I know right that's why I totally forgot to zip up my dress, just so you can stair at it all day" she mocked me once again laughing while placing the pile of pancakes on to the long not so lonely table
I made my way over to her holding two cups of coffee in my palms placing once down on the table and one into Norma's hands
"but hey I didn't know you had a tattoo"
As she sat at the table she began to blush unnervingly "God you saw that?"
"Pretty little butterfly" I laughed once again while filling my mouth with pancakes
"It isn't a butterfly actually it is a dragon fly" she smiled over at me, taking a sip of her steaming hot coffee
"So tell me how did Norma bates convince her self to get a tattoo?"
"Well....I was 17 and I was with Sam and he convinced me to get one done.....it was only after that I realised that it wasn't such a good idea" she now filled her gob with pancakes in order to stop talking
"Wow that's one inspiring story miss bates...it almost makes me wanna get a tattoo" he finished up his breakfast and took the plate to the sink
Norma's POV
I owed Alex a lot after what he did for me last night, he fixed me up and gave me a place to stay, not to mention making me smile again, if I was alone I swear I would still be in that droopy depressing mood
"Thank you alex" I assured him while walked over to the sink placing my plate next to his
"For what?" He questioned looking confused
"For looking after me"
"Well I guess it was a flipped situation, you helped me now I helped you" he placed his hand on my shoulder and squeezed it tightly while looking down in my eyes and smiling, he walked into his room
"I'm going to get ready...then I'll take you home.....because I have work" he shut the door behind him
I smiled instantly then caught a glimpse of my self in the microwave reflection
'No Norma no'
20 minutes later
Alex walked out of the isolated room in his full blown sheriff uniform with dots of stained blood from last night 'shoot'
"Oh shit, I'm sorry about the Staines?"
"Don't be I think it makes me look tougher...don't you think?"
