Chapter 7: Like a bear, hibernate
Lisa Johnson was speechless as she watched her partner drink his milk tea quietly by her side, his long lashes casting shadows as he bent his head to sip at his cup but Lisa was not in the mood to appreciate his beauty. Her lips thinned as she gritted her teeth in helpless anger.
"What is it?" Ravi asked, having enough of her stare. The way she stared at him, almost as if she could not wait to find a sword and began hacking him to pieces.
It hurt though, not her stare, hacking someone to pieces, the pain was unbearable, almost at the same level as a death by a thousand cuts, of course, none hurts as much as the betrayal and the emotional pain but that was not the point. He pushed his thoughts down to listen to her.
"How much is that milk tea?"
"70 cents."
"And you bought just one for yourself, did you ever think of your partner waiting in the car for you? I have gone patrolling with the Sergeant, even Officer Brown, none of them would have done what you just did."
She was really upset, Ravi noted and he extended his hand.
Lisa looked down at his hand, slender fingers and fair skin, the hand looked like it had never seen a day of work. Some moments, it would slip her mind but this her partner was truly beautiful, his features were like a work of art and even the scruffy beard did nothing to hide it.
"Give me. The 70 cents so that I can buy it for you."
