FLORENCE'S POV:
"I'm waiting for your answer Mr. Russell." With my arms folded on my chest, I was waiting for him to speak and I was expecting him to give a better explanation for this cause I was about to climb death bed just because of him. I've never feared of anything, even the worst cases of post mortem weren't hard to deal with but I've had a roller coaster ride of emotions just within certain time in the woods; anxiety, fear, panic and what not?
Here I was waiting for his answer and he was just standing up there, with his hands in his pockets and his lips stretched into cocky smile which was adding fuel to my irritation. "Oh oh, interrogating a police officer huh? Interesting."
"Yes because I had to face a lot because of you." I just wanted answers from him and here he was playing word games with me.
"I'm sorry for causing problem to this beautiful lady. But I had some urgency Ms. Dawson."
"And I'm all ears to listen about the urgency Mr. Paxton." I seriously need answer for this, my life was at stake after all.
"Oh I'm glad you've time for me." Giving a playful wink, he walked closer to me and leaned on the table. "I felt some kind of danger in the woods, I felt some kind of crime happening in the woods. Policeman instinct you know." There came another wink with the last sentence but I wasn't still satisfied with the answer.
"Are you sure that's the reason Mr. Paxton?"
"Are you doubting on me Ms. Dawson? Well let me tell you, one can never lie while looking at those beautiful eyes of yours." I was taken aback with his words, but came back to my senses when I saw him giving a smile. In order to shoo away my awkwardness, I pushed my specs on my nose with my index finger.
"Okay. Fine then." I was about to walk away when I felt someone holding my hand from behind and I know who is it.
"What Mr. Paxton?" I asked looking straight into his eyes.
"Why did you followed me to the woods?"
"It's just that, I saw you behaving weird, as if you were having difficulty in breathing. So I, just came to check upon you. Do you have any kind if medical complication Mr. Paxton?" I asked just out of concern but I never knew I'll have to feel so embarrassed for speaking those words.
"Oh, so Ms. Dawson was worried for me huh?" He walked closer to me and places his right hand on his chest, over his heart. "This, my heart felt good to know that Ms. Dawson was worried for me. You know, there's something about you which makes you different you know. And now when I saw your concern for me, ahh! Are you sure you'll not kill me one day?"
Wowowo! That was too cheesy for me. I mean, I've never heard anything like that for me from anyone. I felt my cheeks turning hot and that was strange.
"Excuse me Mr. Russell, I've got some cases to look upon." Even before waiting for his reply, I walked out of police station and got myself a cab back to lab. This man is really strange, I was just concerns out of humanity for God's sake.
