Charlie’s stomach grumbled. He was hungry and though Declan had
picked him up a latte, he hadn’t brought him a pastry. When Charlie went to
the café he always bought treats, but Declan had made it a personal rule
never to buy them. Whenever Charlie came upstairs with sweets, Declan
acted like a five-year-old who was told that he had to eat Brussels sprouts.
He’d say that he was afraid they’d go right to his waist. Charlie found his
mind drifting above Declan’s waist to his beautifully sculpted abs. It would
take a lot of pastries to undo that physique.
Charlie shook his head and made his way to Declan’s office. “I just have
to pop out for a sec. Be right back.”
“Don’t go bringing cookies into this place,” Declan said without looking
up. Charlie smiled.
On his way down to the café, he thought about the decision he’d recently
made regarding his relationship with Declan. He was convinced he’d made
the right choice. I’m here to keep things running efficiently—and that’s it. It
wouldn’t make sense to mix business with pleasure. But a little voice in the
back of his head kept asking, How are you going to feel if Declan finds
someone else? Charlie knew how sick he’d felt when Declan had fallen for
that cop Luke while working on the Ian Mann case a few months ago. Sure,
that hadn’t worked out, but if Charlie didn’t make a move soon…
Charlie exited onto the street. Loud voices were coming from the café.
The words were muffled. He couldn’t make out their meaning, but the
intention was clear. Someone was giving the owner Gwen a hard time.
Charlie rushed through the door and saw that Gwen was going head-to-head
with a very large cop who was waving a parking ticket in her face.
“So you’re telling me you can’t fix this for me?” she hollered, poking the
cop in the shoulder. “I’ve parked there ever since I opened this place and no
one’s complained about it before!”
“I’m just saying the cop that issued this ticket was right,” he yelled back.
“They changed the rules and now you have to pay for street parking from
nine a.m. to four p.m.”
Charlie recognized the voice.
“Good morning, Sergeant Hunt,” he said. The cop was Gwen’s
husband…and Declan’s father.
“Charlie, maybe you can talk some sense into this woman,” he said
before storming out of the café.
“What was all that about?” Charlie asked.
“What good is being married to a cop if he won’t fix a traffic ticket for
you?”
She glanced out of the window and yelled, “Don’t you dare put it back on
my windshield!”
“Men,” she muttered before heading back around the counter. She shook
her head and smiled at Charlie. “Now, what can I get you?”
A man of my own that I can yell at? Charlie thought.
“A scone, please,” he answered. “Better make it two.”
