NIPD: Team Alpha

I'm Sorry

"Hey! Glad your back, Rocky and I hit the gym upstairs, the Rope are for kills and the tires as well." I had a clear glance of Rubble and noticed his dump hair, knowing that he just got showered to the fresh smell that comes from him, I look at Rocky and he's beaming at me.

"You must try it baby girl, Rubble is tearing his muscles at it." Rocky voiced out his excitement.

"I already tried the Rope last time." I remembered the heavy rope last time and I smile.

"You did?" Rubble and Chase ask me at the same time.

I look at Chase first, but turn my head to Rubble to answer. "Yeah!" nodding and smiling at him.

He let me go and sit on my right. "And here I thought that I can make it a big deal to you"

A little later Zuma joined us again as we eat our pancake made by Marshall. We talk all the rest of the afternoon, joking, teasing, and laughing.

Before we got to bed we received message from Ryder that we have meeting at 9 tomorrow morning.

I am making my way to my room when Marshall approached me.

"Can I talk to you inside your room?" He asks holding my right hand to stop me from opening the door of my room.

I smiled at him. "Sure. No problem. Since when do you need to ask?" I answered him with a question.

He smiled and opens the door of my room "After you, baby girl."

"Oh! Such a gentleman." I pretend to be shock at his action.

He laughs at me following me inside the room. He makes himself confortable at the chair beside my bed. "So?" He starts awkwardly.

I come towards my cabinet of cloths looking for shirt to change and loose shorts, throwing it to bed and look at him expectantly "Yes?" I think I know where it will go.

"What happened between you and Chase?" He starts arching his brows looking for an answer.

"Oh!" Is the only answer I muttered. I come near him and sit on the bed, putting my two hands to the side of it. "We talked" I started, avoiding eye contact.

"You only talked, about what?" He is now furrow his brows and leaned his back to the chair.

I nodded furiously, "Yes, about me and him being friends."

"You're not telling me the details here, baby girl. I saw Chase, putting his arm on your waist, hugging you to be exact."

I look at him straight to his eyes, "You saw that." That's not a question.

He nodded and smirk "You can tell me baby girl, sometimes I need to know things so that I know where I'll stand."

"What do you mean?"

"We are friends; I need to know how I can protect you."

That hit my heart and made me smile, "Oh!Marshall, you are the sweetest."

"I know, I know."

"Aside from Rubble."

"Oh! That's a different story." Even though it is just for a second I noticed the shift of expression that came from Marshall's face when I mentioned Rubble, maybe because Rubble doesn't noticed yet about the closeness between me and Chase.

"Will Rubble be OK with me being close with Chase?" I awkwardly ask him.

He thinks for a second and nods "That's cool for him. At least he will not get mad at you having bruises everytime you fight with Chase." He gave me a reassuring smile and patted my shoulder.
