Guns and Badges

Chapter 8

The morning sun filtered through Jenna's curtains, casting a warm glow across her bedroom as she groggily reached for her phone on the nightstand.

Just as she was about to check her messages, the phone began to ring. Jenna's heart skipped a beat when she saw that it was Emma calling.

With a rush of anticipation, Jenna answered the call, her voice slightly breathless. "Hello?"

"Good morning, Amor.." Emma's smooth voice greeted her from the other end, laced with a hint of playful allure.

A soft blush crept onto Jenna's cheeks at the endearment. "Good morning, Emma," she replied, her tone warm yet cautious.

"Are you awake, Ortega?" Emma purred, her voice taking on a seductive tone.

Jenna chuckled softly, feeling a flutter of excitement mixed with a touch of apprehension.

"Because of you, I am now, Myers." she admitted, trying to maintain composure, rubbing her eyes tiredly with her thumb and index finger.

As they exchanged pleasantries, Emma's charm intensified, her words carrying a subtle flirtatious undertone.

Jenna found herself drawn into their conversation, despite her awareness of the ongoing investigation.

"So, what's on your agenda today, Detective?" Emma inquired, her voice smooth as silk.

Jenna hesitated, her mind briefly distracted by Emma's suggestive tone.

"Just work," she replied, trying to steer the conversation back to business.

Emma chuckled softly, her voice low and alluring. "Ah, the life of a dedicated detective," she teased.

"I hope you'll have a moment to think about our next rendezvous."

Jenna's cheeks flushed slightly, her heart rate quickening. "Emma, please," she said, her tone a mixture of amusement and admonishment.

"Stop flirting. I'm still working on your case, you know?"

There was a pause on the other end of the line before Emma let out a throaty laugh.

"Can't blame a girl for trying," she replied coyly. "But don't worry, Detective. I'll be patient... for now."

Jenna's expression softened, a playful glint in her eyes. "We could meet later," she adds, her voice laced with a hint of intrigue.

"My mafia."

Jenna added mischievously, causing a moment of surprised silence on Emma's end before she burst into laughter.

Jenna smirks widely, turning into a smile tugging at her lips despite herself. "I'll talk to you soon, Emma," she said, a mixture of fondness and intrigue in her voice.

Emma's laughter was infectious, and Jenna couldn't help but join in. "Goodbye, Detective Ortega," Emma managed to say amidst her giggles.

After bidding farewell, Jenna set her phone down with a lingering smile, her thoughts consumed by the enigmatic Emma Myers and the intriguing path ahead of them.

With each interaction, Jenna felt herself drawn deeper into the enigma of Emma, eager to unravel the mysteries that lay beneath the surface.

After taking a moment to collect herself, Jenna got ready for the day ahead. She dressed thoughtfully, her mind lingering on the messages from Emma and the intriguing woman who seemed to effortlessly occupy her thoughts.

Arriving at her office, Jenna was greeted by the usual hustle and bustle of her colleagues. As she approached her desk, she noticed Hunter, her colleague, looking visibly annoyed.

Concerned, Jenna approached him and asked what was wrong.

"Jenna, you completely ignored my texts yesterday," Hunter said, his tone slightly accusatory.

Realization dawned on Jenna as she remembered her encounter with Emma and the flurry of emotions that followed.

"I'm sorry, Hunter," Jenna replied, her voice apologetic.

"I was..." She pauses, not wanting Hunter to know she was with Emma the whole day yesterday, she makes a excuse, "I was..with someone.."

Hunter's expression softened slightly as Jenna explained her unexpected absence. "Oh, I see," he said, nodding understandingly.

"Just let me know next time, okay?"Jenna nodded gratefully, relieved to have cleared the air with her colleague.

She returned to her desk, her mind drifting back to the enigmatic Emma Myers and the complexities of their evolving connection.

As Jenna and Hunter conversed, her thoughts frequently wandered back to the cryptic messages from Emma and their encounter in the forest.

She couldn't shake the vivid memory of Emma's proximity, their breath mingling in the crisp night air, and the tantalizing possibility of a kiss that hung unspoken between them.

The day passed in a blur of paperwork and routine tasks, yet Jenna's mind remained preoccupied with thoughts of Emma.

As she left the office, Jenna's phone buzzed once again, signaling a new message.

She glanced at the screen to see Emma's name once more.

"Looking forward to seeing you again later." the message read, accompanied by a subtle winking emoji.

Jenna couldn't help but smile, her heart fluttering with a mix of excitement and apprehension.

With each message from Emma, the enigma surrounding their connection deepened, leaving Jenna eager to unravel the mysteries of Emma Myers and the tangled web of emotions she stirred within her.

With a newfound resolve, Jenna prepared to face whatever awaited her in the days ahead, knowing that her path was inevitably intertwined with the enigmatic figure of Emma Myers,

whose presence in Jenna's life promised both intrigue and uncertainty
