twenty eight

I picked up my phone as it buzzed wildly. I saw it was Jake, and quickly answered, "Hey Jake!"

"Hey babe, I'm really sorry but I'm going to have to work the night shift to tonight" he said disappointed.

I had just dropped of Callie at Terrys, after Ava had begged for a sleepover, and me and Jake decided we could have a date night.

"It's ok, how come?"

"Remember when I went undercover? Well we've been sent some threats from Figgis. I need to stay and work the case, plus the precinct is the safest place for me right now."

"Keep safe Jake"

"I will. Love you"

"Love you too" I said before we both started making kissy noises into the phone. We eventually hung up, as I decided I would have some 'me time' tonight.

Figgis POV

Jake had taken the bait. I could only think of one person, to lure him to me.

Y/Ns POV

I pulled myself out of the bath, drying my hair and pulling on a pair of comfy pjs, before slipping into bed and falling asleep

————————

I woke up, as I heard a bang.

I tried to brush it off, but more, quieter noises starting coming from Callies room.

My heart dropped, when I remembered she was at her sleepover.

I grabbed my phone and texted Jake

Jake, something's not right. I think someone's here.

I quickly set my phone down as I pretended to be asleep. I heard the intruder walking around the apartment, my heart beating loudly in my chest.

After 10 minutes or so I heard the footsteps approach the bedroom, and I stayed dead still. I suddenly heard a car pull up outside, and the intruder mutter something to himself, before opening my window and climbing onto the fire escape.

I stifled a shiver, as cold air filled the room.

I heard the front door open, and someone running towards the bedroom.

I covered my face as the duvet was pulled off me.

"Y/n it's me" Jake said softly, worry edging his voice.

I sat up in shock and fell into him with relief.

"Woah your heart is beating so fast, are you ok?" He said worriedly but I didn't answer. I just gripped onto him as he held me close.

"Rosa and Charles will be here in a minute." He said quietly.

I took a deep breath, "how comes you got here before?"

He looked at me sheepishly, "well I probably have about 20 tickets for speeding plus fines for running all the red lights..."

I smiled at him, he was the sweetest man on earth.

—————————

"It is almost definitely one of Figgis' men. I suggest you leave Callie at Terry's, and go to a safe house as soon as possible." Rosa said sympathetically.

Me and Jake were still sitting together. I had been shaking from a mix of fear and cold, so he gave me his hoodie. I felt bad, him just being in a shirt, but he insisted he wasn't cold, as I breathed in his scent.

Jake nodded at Rosa gravely. Before getting up and taking my hand.

"I guess we should head over," Jake told me

"Me and Charles will bring over your clothes and toothbrushes later," Rosa told us

As we stood up, Charles flung his arms around us as we stood stiffly in confusion. "Remember me Jakey..." he whispered and I smirked to myself.

—————————

We carefully unlocked the door, and entered what would be Jake and my new home for a week or so.

It was pretty drab, and it made me sad, being away from our apartment but I tried to look on the bright side, even though I didn't know what the bright side was, but I kept hope.

Jake checked his watch, "it's only 3am babe, we should probably get some sleep.

"Yh I guess" I sighed as we headed into the bedroom, pulling ourselves under the duvet, as we lay face-to-face.

Jake smiled at me softly, " I'm so glad you're okay"

I found his hand under the cover, and squeezed it tightly, "thanks Jake for being there"

He leaned forward kissing me gently.

My hand combed into his messy hair, and I felt his, exploring my back.

I pulled away, sleepily, leaning closer to him, as we both fell asleep...
