Bump(but an awesome one :3)
Since I accidently deleted Red's story,I started a different one for now. His will be right after. Here's a preview on it:
Cindy woke up by the soft kisses of her husband. It was 6:30 AM.
“Morning, honey.” He said quietly, his voice filled with affection.
“Mmm,” She turned around, squinting her eyes against the sunlight that was peeking around the corner of her window. “Morning, love.”
And she got up.
As she was getting dressed, she turned back to the bed. Her husband was staring at her, his face was half in a trance. She frowned. “Is something wrong?”
After a pause, “You are, so beautiful…” Was his answer. Cindy smiled and turned away, hiding a blush. Her husband smiled and got up himself.
“What’s on schedule today?” She asked.
“Ah, nothing. CSI’s investigating some rape scene. Horrible stuff.” He stopped walking towards the kitchen. “If that ever happened to you… I don’t know, I’d do everything I could to serve justice to that guy.”
“Honey.”
“I mean, to have somebody do that to you, that would tear me apart.”
“Honey?”
“If only the world wasn’t such a bad place. There’d be less of the-”
He got cut off as Cindy kissed him on the lips.
“Oh… Thanks.” He said, and smiled to himself.
Cindy’s husband was a police officer who worked closely with the CSI. Officer Barlow, or Ried Barlow. Despite the normal status where policemen were either alone or divorced, he and Cindy were inseparable. Even if Ried came home, ashamed that he killed a man, even when he thought that Cindy shouldn’t put up with the times that he’d have nightmares in bed about the people he’s killed, people he’d sent to jail, coming up to torture him. No matter what problems they had, nothing could kill the undying love they had for each other.
The couple was silent as they cooked pancakes for breakfast. If you counted out the ‘I love you’s or the kisses. But after a while, they both headed out the door, off to work.
Cindy worked at an office building for insurance company. There was a small problem with the owners of it though. They did everything in their power to keep as much of their client’s money as they could, while giving out as little as possible. Their methods usually ended up making lots of people mad, but even so, they had nowhere else to turn, most of the time. Needless to say, the company had a fair share of enemies.
Cindy didn’t like it, but it paid good.
Another thing about Cindy was that she had grown up in a poor family, her parents not being able to afford anything besides groceries, and enough of the bills to barely stay above the eviction status. After an entire childhood of being very conscious of everything she wanted or asked for in fear of causing the final eviction note, Cindy made a vow to herself to do everything she could to get a job that would pay lots of money, so she could get her kids what she wanted, and so they could be happy while they grew up. It was an ambition that paid off.
