Love changes everything - Part 2
“Sian” Sophie repeated, “No Maam, came a voice from a fellow constable, this is Katie Price”. Sophie looked at the name on the paper work, that was Sian Powers, why was she lying about her name. “Excuse me please Constable Sanders” she asked, he left the room and Sophie sat across the table from Sian. “So Katie is it?” Sophie asked, “You know it’s not” Sian said sadly, “Look I don’t want to press charges on that woman okay, so just gimme the paperwork, I’ll sign it and be on my way” Sian said a bit louder. Sophie leant back in her chair a little, “Sian, tell me why you are using a false name” she said intrigued to the answer, “Okay Constable Webster, my ex boyfriend used to kinda use me as a punching bag, he tried to kill me, when I escaped he tracked me down and tried to kill me again, my name was changed by witness protection okay, I am Sian Powers, well was, I am twenty years old, homeless now and jobless, okay hope that helps you” Sian shouted. Sophie was shocked, Sian had always been so level headed how had she got involved in such a violent relationship.
“Look Sian, I know you haven’t seen me since…well since we were teenagers okay, if you want a place to crash, you can stay at mine, I have plenty of room, maybe we could talk or summit and try and get your life back” Sophie put her hand out to reassure her. “Nah, thanks for the offer though, I’m nobody’s charity case, especially not yours” Sian spat moving her hand. “Fine” Sophie said hurt, “You’re free to go”. Sian stood up and went to leave, she looked back at Sophie, and opened her mouth to say something, but changed her mind. Sophie buried her head in her hands, her Sian had gone now replaced by a hard faced woman, she needed to find her Sian again.
As her double shift ended Sophie walked out of the police station, Sian had made her feelings clear, Sophie was next to her car when she heard a voice “Sophie, I’m sorry”. Sophie turned around to see Sian stood there, hands in her pockets, “It’s okay, stay in touch yeah” Sophie said climbing in to the driving seat, she was about to close the door when Sian mumbled something, “What?” Sophie asked leaning out of the door, Sian pulled at the toggle on her jacket, Sophie remembered she would play with the zip on her clothes when nervous, “I said if that offer is still open, I would like to accept it”. Sophie leant over in her car to undo the passenger door, she smiled “Sure”. Sian climbed in the car and they headed off towards Sophie’s apartment.
As Sophie parked up Sian was quiet, Sophie climbed out her car and put a pin code in to the building door, it buzzed open “After you” Sian smiled following Sophie up two flights of stairs and in to her apartment. Sian took a deep intake of breathe as she scanned the place, it was immaculate, Sian walked in to the open plan living room with hardwood floors, and looked at the photos on the wall. There were a few of her family, one of Rosie holding a baby, Sophie holding a baby and a photo of Sophie’s passing out parade for the police force. “Want something to drink?” Sophie asked from the open plan kitchen, “Sure what you have?” Sian asked hanging up her jacket, “Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, alcohol, milk, water” Sophie said pulling out bread for a sandwich, “Tea please, two sugars, thanks” Sian said settling on a plush sofa with pull out leg rest. “Hungry?” Sophie called, “Yes, um could I just have a piece of toast, buttered” Sophie smiled to her self nothing changes eh, Sian always ate that nearly every morning, occasionally with jam. “Sure” Sophie called. and set about making their snack.
After they had eaten Sophie fussed around getting Sian a duvet and pillows, “You have a choice hun” she said “You can sleep in the double bed in my spare room or on the pull out sofa” Sian thought for a second, “Which is more comfortable?” Sophie looked between the sofa and the room, “Well to be honest they both are but I sleep on the sofa when the room becomes too humid”. Sian smiled “Sofa then please, oh could I get a shower?” Sophie nodded and went to get the guest towels, “Everything you need is in the bathroom, just push the first button and the shower will come on, push it again to turn it off, the temperature should be okay, if it’s not push the blue button for colder and the red for hotter okay?”” Sian turned back to her “Thanks, ya know for this” Sophie looked at her blue eyes, “Anytime” Sian smiled and made her way to the bathroom.
Sophie was drifting off to sleep in the chair when she heard the patter of footsteps, she reached for her baton, “Whoa” Sian shouted as Sophie leapt up holding it, “Sophie it’s me”. Sophie lowered it, “Sorry Sian, once a copper ya know” Sian giggled, “Well at least I have twenty-four hour police protection”. Sophie giggled and yawned, “Everything okay?” she asked turning on the dim light, she could see Sian wrapped only in a white towel, water droplets leading to her cleavage, she stopped herself ogling her and said “If you need nightclothes or whatever, they are in the wardrobe of the spare room, take whatever you need”. Sian looked at Sophie, she had followed her gaze and knew that Sophie still liked her. “Night” Sian called as Sophie made her way to her room, “Night Sian” Sophie said huskily closing the door.
Sian changed in to the spare pj’s and rested in on the comfy pull out bed, “Tomorrow” she said aloud, “Tomorrow I’ll tell her everything”, Sian turned out the light and fell in to a deep slumber, unbeknown to her Sophie was lying on her bed awake “Tomorrow” she said aloud to herself “Tomorrow I’ll tell her how I feel”, she then closed her eyes desperate for sleep before the new day dawned.
