《Sirens in Seattle》{chapter 6}

"Ok what would you two like?" A waiter came around after dropping off my coffee and Phoenix's water.
"I'll have a stack of blueberry pancakes, and a side of sausage." I smiled up at him and handed him my menu.
The waiter turned his attention to Phoenix. "I'll have the same."
I played with my dead phone in my hands for a while before the silence became too awkward for me. He obviously wasn't the type to start conversations.
"How old are you anyways? I mean your a cop and all but you don't look much older than me." I asked him casually.
Phoenix had amazing eyes that's for sure. They were a certain shade of green that made you kind of want to know who had them, his mother or father? He had a strong jaw line with short light brown, or dirty blonde hair. He was somewhere in the six feet category and his body build was your average young cop/fire fighter.
He tapped his fingers against the table and it almost seemed he was wondering weather to answer or not.
"I'm 22." He finally answered.
"Any family?" I prompted him to tell more.
He shrugged and sipped his water. "I have a brother. He just turned 7. You?" He asked.
"I have a sister who's 24. She recently walked the New York Fashion show." I informed him like the proud sister I am.
What shocked me is how he bursted out laughing. "Let me guess, you aspire to be a model too?" He laughed some more making me scowl.
I crossed my arms over my chest and say up straighter. "No. You jerk. I'm pre-med. One day I'll be a surgeon and conveniently not help you."
His laughing, which was kinda adorable to see him show some type of emotion, died down into a chuckle.
He raised his hands in defeat. "I was joking. You could probably be a model if you grew some. And stopped spending your time at wild night clubs."

I sighed but couldn't help and roll my eyes playfully at him.
Our food came and my stomach growled at the delicious aroma of the pancakes.
I cut my pancakes precisely into triangles and drenched them in syrup and powdered sugar before hungrily taking a delicious bite. I couldn't help the moan that slipped out and Phoenix chuckled again making me do the same.
I continued eating but looked up to see him with a smirk on his face doing that staring thing he did when I seen him at the Café.
I self-consciously wiped around my mouth and patted down my hair.
"What do I have something on my face?" I questioned and Phoenix shook his head no. "Then what?" I demanded.
"It's just that," he began "your different." He finished ,making me raise my eyebrows wanting a further explanation but he didn't offer one.
He simply dug into his stack of pancakes leaving me both curious and confused.
I couldn't help but be curious about who he was. A little part of me remembered that he had a bad attitude and basically caused me to have a terrible week and steer clear, but a larger part wanted me to get to know who he was and why he was arrogant, why he was a cop and smaller things like what his favorite color was.
The doctor in me was always curious though.
Phoenix and I ate in silence and all of the people started filing out, being there long before us.
The wind howled outside and I instantly wrapped the large jacket I was wearing tighter around me and I remembered it wasn't even mine.
When the wind became impossible to ignore Phoenix and I decided it was time for him to take me home.
"Thank you , I guess for taking me home and buying me something to eat." I told him once we reached the front of my apartment after a nice and comfortable car ride. I started to take his police jacket off and give it back to him before he stopped me.

"It's freezing outside. Wha kind of man would I be if I didn't let a lady wear my jacket up and I didn't walk her?" He joked , taking on an exaggerated voice.
"Maybe a decent one." I told him trying to out rude him, but instead he laughed at my attempt.
I greeted the doorman and he gave me a suspicious look , probably wondering why I'm wearing a mans clothes and an officer is taking me to my apartment.
"Wow, pretty nice place for a med student ." He commented and I bit my lip.
I hate having to explain that my parents are surgeons and the only way they payed my rent here is if I maintained great grades, great social standards and chose pre med and the whole shebang.
Once I let Phoenix know the short version he laughed at me once again. It's like my existence was some sort of private joke to him.
"So, daughter of two surgeons , sister of a super model, can I get her number by the way, you have pretty big shoes to fill." He commented.
I ignored the part where he asked for my sisters number , and agreed. "That I do." I replied.
We made it to my apartment and I turned to face him once I unlocked my door.
"So this is it, I guess. Thanks, for arresting me and getting me some cheap pancakes." I sarcastically told him.
"Whatever. Go to bed and I don't want to see your irresponsible ass wandering streets wasted anymore." He retorted.
"I was not wasted." I told him for the billionth time. "Simply a little bit tipsy"
I gave him one last half smile before closing the door behind myself softly.
I let out the biggest sigh possible when I was alone in my apartment. It felt so good to be home surrounded by familiarity and warmth. I quickly ran to plug in my dead phone so I could immediately text Minnie as she would not believe the events that just took place.
I took my time heading to my bathroom and turned the water on extra hot to help warm up the cold tile bathroom, since the heater was taking a while to kick on.
The only thing on my mind was scrubbing the hairspray out of my hair and using my lavender body wash under a steaming water then slipping on one of my many large T-shirts.
I was only seconds away from finally being able to slip my dress off when I heard some knocks on my door.
Thinking it was probably a neighbor offering some brownies or asking me to babysit as they often do , I left the shower running but walked out to my main area and took a peak through the peephole , only to see Phoenix. He probably wanted to his jacket back so I quickly opened the door, while grabbing it off the hook it was hanging on.
"Ok look." He started quickly. "Your really talkative. Like really talkative. I have this thing for police officers next weekend everyone usually brings a guest. And since you have no problem striking up conversations with people wanna go?" He blurted out.
My mouth was already open about to ask a million questions but for some reason all that came out was "Ok." My eyebrows were furrowed at my own response and my stomach had little flutters of excitement that I couldn't exactly explain.
"Good pick you up next Saturday at six." He responded before swiftly turing around leaving once again, rubbing the back of his neck.
Very slowly I shut the door, after I seen him disappear down the stairs.
What the hell just happened today.

Title Pending Adventures of Jackson and Barbara in another world!
Jackson Ripper is transported with his class to another world. As one would expect, they are asked to fight in a pending war, much to Jackson's distain. But, a month after arriving he is separated from the rest of his classmates and loses an arm and a leg. Worse yet, the person who mutilated him clings to his side. Now, he begins travelling with this walking natural disaster in a strange new world. Author notes: This is a story I started writing roughly two years ago (roughly 2017) on a whim and started using it to improve my writing skills. As such, it's mostly wish fulfillment based loosely on anime, light/web novels and comics. But wait, why post my strange, gruesome dream world on the internet? Because, I have a goal of one day writing something worth publishing. But to reach that goal, I need criticism, suggestion and advice. Plus it feels like a waste to keep this beauty all to myself. I currently plan to release one chapter a week, on Saturday afternoon or evening.
