Thread: Bloodlust and Lovelust (Rskde & Enigma_x)

It was beginning to feel as if her best friends were criminals. Every morning shed begin work at six am, shed leave work sometime in the early evening if all went well. Her life was structured around work, eating and sleeping. There were brief moments she could have to herself but they were few and far between. Kate had always been driven but this was something different. She was almost obsessive with her new case, mainly because it was high profile. There was no way she could justify allowing herself peace when she knew others would die. If she could save them, she had to. Of course shed been warned to take it easy, but so far she felt fine. Motivated, energetic, dedicated. Kate couldnt see how this was a negative. That evening was the same as it always was. She would leave work and make her way to grab some take out or if she felt particularly generous to herself, shed eat in the restaurant. Tonight was one of those nights. Mainly because she found herself needing a glass of wine, possibly two if she felt rather indulgent. So far this case had been on going for some time, there were limited leads and even less evidence. Kate felt as if she were chasing her tail, so to speak. No matter where she looked, she came up empty. It was beginning to make her doubt her skills maybe she should just be working the streets like some of her colleagues. The mere thought was insulting, she had a good mind and good talent, usually. The brunette settled down at the table she was shown to. It was close to the window, allowing her to feel somewhat connected to the bustle of the city right beside her. The female glanced down at the menu before selecting her main course and ordering a glass of white wine. She was dressed in her usual work attire, a navy skirt suit. The pencil skirt cut off just below her knee and gave enough room for her to cross her legs comfortably as she leaned back in the chair. Underneath the unbuttoned blazer was a crisp white shirt that was left unbuttoned at the top. Kate could pass as any businesswoman. By the time her food arrived the female had removed the clip that tied up her long brown curls. Eating alone again? A familiar voice purred from behind her. It was her colleague, Richard. Although, despite their similarities in their profession, they had no others. Nor did she want to have anything in common with the man. Kate didnt have time for a relationship, nor was she interested in making time. Aw come on Meyers, give me an inch here. The male settled opposite her, requesting a whisky as the waiter passed by. I was enjoying my peaceful dinner, yes. She spoke sternly, her fingers clasping around the wine glass as she eyed the blonde haired male. Once shed promptly finished her wine and food, itd been about an hour. Richard continued discussing work in a rather vague manner, and shed agreed with his points. He was a good officer, but unfortunately he lacked in emotional intelligence. Even if he wasnt great company, it was somewhat nice to be dining with someone, even if he was just drinking. It was when she decided to have a dessert that she noticed a rather handsome man sitting across from her. So, how about I walk you home? Kates brow rose, shaking her head slightly, No thank you, Im have a dessert then Im going alone. Nice to see you, Richard. He took the hint, giving her a nod and slipping a note for his drinks before leaving. The female allowed a sigh of relief to pass her lips before she summoned the waiter over to order a few scoops of vanilla ice cream. She wasnt sure what came over her next, if it was the wine or the idea of someone like Richard hitting on her whenever he had the chance but she decided to send over a drink to the male a few feet from her. The female couldnt help but watch to see how he reacted to being bought a drink.
