Partner in Crime You're pretty when you smile
Riley's P.O.VSeated on the sofa I place my palms over my knees leaning over my arms, My head lowered while my eyeballs are at the top watching the super woman pulling out the first aid box. She was the one who caused the wound in the first place.I look away when she turns around and walks toward me, pursing my lips to a flat line I look straight at her, she places the first aid box on the table and bends opening it, her side features radiating in my view. My eyes follow her actions when she brushes the few strands of hair behind her ear, her fingers pulling out the plasters and bandages.To be honest, even though she acts all rough and looks stiff she is pretty in her own way. Was I blind on our first meeting or am I blind now as her magnificent power made me be appealed. This super woman is really something, the way she stood alone and fought with the men....Damn...she was freaking cool...The way she spoke to the officer ordering him apologize...Oh my God her gut is phenomenal...
Partner in Crime Working together
Third Person P.O.VCurling her brows, Aiden runs her hand through her hair drowsily, her mouth opens wide yawning. She sits straight and brushes the few strands of hair on her face behind her ears, her brows furrow curiously when she feels the texture of material around her palm, bringing her hand to view she examines the bandage tied around her palm with a neat bow. The corners of her lips twitch upwards to a spontaneous smile, untying the bandage she stomps to the washroom.The crispy golden brown sandwiches pop out, taking it Riley sets the sandwiches on the plate, he then removes the grizzling omelette from the heated pan, the yolk wobbly on the top in a way that when the knife cuts through it the yellow liquid flows out. The other companion which joins the plate are the fried sausages. He sets the plates on the table along with a glass of grape juice. He takes his seat and fixes his gaze to the guest room door. The next minute his gaze averts and he looks away facing the opposit

Aiden's P.O.VThe damaged cafe is labelled with no entry strips, we stopped by the road scanning the surrounding trying to find anything which can give a useful piece of information. There is only a couple days left for the trial and we are still unprepared, turning to my left I look at Riley, he pinches the bridge of his nose his forehead wrinkled, his eyebrows curled and his eyes are squinted. He lets out a loud weary sigh and sits straight, his eyes tensed. He faces me and forces a smile.Unlocking the door, I push it open "Come, let's go," I step out and walk ahead."The owner of the shop," I speak when he meets my pace "Do you know him?," I ask as we stop by the shop where Mr. Mintz was stood, the damages are cleaned yet not fixed. "No, I haven't been here," he replies as he steps forward looking inside through the frame of shattered glass."I see," I wander in to the counter table, passing a glance at Riley who watches me curiously I spring off to the opposite side of the large
Partner in Crime Meeting her mom
“Who are you?,” The man in suit questions staring right at the two, he gaits and stops in front of them his eyes fixed to Riley.“Excuse me,” Riley counters, his voice comes out stern and deep, he keeps a step forward erasing the few distance between them.“Who the hell are you?,” He questions adjusting his tie, he slants his head a bit to the left frowning at the person opposite to him, his brow arched questionably.“I’m the assistant of the her husband’s lawyer,” the man smirks exposing his identity.The corner of Riley’s lips twitches up to a smirk, he chuckles teasingly “I’m the lawyer of her husband,” he scoffs as he crosses his arms over his chest, watching him amusingly.Aiden stands by the side passing her gaze at Riley and the other man.“You...,” He lifts his arm his elbow blows backwards swiftly.Aiden steps forward to defend but she stops, her small eyes expands in surprise. She stares at Riley who stops the large fist, his long fingers digging into the man’s skin. Tighten
Partner in Crime The first trial
Aiden's P.O.VI tuck in my white blouse to the pink trousers, buttoning up the pants I look straight at my reflection. A slight smile forms on my lips when I hear Lisa still squealing as a kid found her missing favourite toy. She is really head over heels for Riley, the way she jumped forward to welcome him and served him is unlike her. She has been repeating that she is his fan countless times and that ear to ear smile never leaves her face. I put on the blush pink coat, taking a look at myself... It's been quite a time to see myself officially dressed, the image in front of me in that suit... reminds me something...I run my hand through the brief strands as I step closer to the mirror... I'm clueless of why this flashed in my mind but to be honest yet it didn't effect me...Mike...He often tells me that I look splendid in this suit... Splendid?...My foot...That bastard...Thank god I'm haughty of myself that I didn't even feel a thing when he states all rubbish...I gather my hair
Partner in Crime Feeling different
Third Person P.O.VThe ever silent hall gets filled with chatters, Aiden stacks the plates and turns around to see Blake who takes the glassware from the pantry. The plan of hanging out together in the restaurant was called off because she wanted Harry to join the meal with them as he has been locked in for a long time.Aiden places the plates by the sink "Why is everything dusty? I'll wash these you unpack the takeouts," she rolls up the sleeves of the blazer and opens the tap, she squeezes the dishwasher onto the sponge and begins to clean. "Any help?," Riley enters the kitchen, he walks behind her."Nah, just carry the washed plates to the tab...," The last two letters 'le' stuck in her throat when he unclips her hair, his fingers brush over her skin as he gathers her hair to his hand. Aiden's body freezes her movements stop for a second at his touch, she stares at the water which flows, her eyes forgot to blink. He clips her hair and steps closer his body brushing over hers as
Partner in Crime The pacing heart
The sun passes through the thick curtains, Riley squints his eyes his long lashes untouch his cheeks. He squeezes his eyes shut and opens again to get a clearer vision, his eyes widens in horror when he comes back to reality. His body fixates as he examines her, Aiden who is sleeping beside him, her body turned to his direction. He remains baffled unknown of what happened, he shuts his eyes immediately acting asleep as he doesn't know how to react when she wakes up and he finds it awkward to be awake first, his mind loading up with wild imagination.He stays motionless for a while waiting till she opens her eyes but his wait is only getting longer. He lifts his eyelids slowly peeking a glance at Aiden, his eager hand touches her face, the finger tips caresses over her skin when he pushes the strands of hair from her face. The corners of his lips slightly moves upwards when he rubs his thumb at the corner of her eyes, he moves closer to her as he swallows the lump in his throat, his

He is in a black, single breasted, satin tuxedo with a white wing collar shirt. He adjusts his tie and rubs the back of his neck, his stomach feeling weird.

Partner in Crime Is it because I love you?
The sound of the phone text notification finally gets into her ears, her heavy eyelids lift slowly. She runs her hands through her messy hair and sits straight, her dull eyes look around the empty hall. The phone beeps again. A low weary sigh leaves her lips, Aiden stands and walks to the shelf. Her brows meet looking at the phone screen, an unknown number. She clicks on the message, a current location shared: the underground parking of her apartment.She checks on Emma, a slight smile makes it’s way on her lips to see Emma asleep peacefully. She puts on her shoes and leaves with her phone. The underground parking was closed for a couple of weeks due to construction, the dark alley is brightened with one or two lights which makes the large space dim, some places pitch dark.

His fixed on her sleeping face, he smiles wide when some strands of hair falls over her face kissing her cheek. He moves his bent legs closer to the sofa where Aiden is laid, his fingers brush her, hair away from her face and tucks behind her ear. “Your dad was right,” he says, his voice low and gentle “You are ironically weak inside,” he moves his head closer, his lips softly lands on her forehead. A kiss on the forehead has many reasons and the most affectionate kiss than a kiss on the cheek and lip. It means I will protect you, I’ll be by your side and I will care for you.His phone rings, immediately he grabs it from the short table and mites it, taking another last glance at her, he stands and walks out.“The person who killed Johnson is released,” Eric reports as soon as the call in answered.“Are you following him?,” Riley asks, his thumb cracking the other four fingers.“Yes,

The box pleated joint of skirt fits around her unsexy waist, the peach material blended with faded red roses brightens her pale skin tone. In front of the mirror she steps back and moves her spread legs closer, taking another complete glance of her reflection. She adjusts the sleeve and pulls up the precise deep neck feeling uncomfortable in her attire, a low vexed sigh leaves her lips when the zipper at the back cracks down… Her brain requests to give up despite her heart which orders her to wear it on as she is sure it will make her parents happy, she looks forward to witness Johnson’s reaction as he loves to see his daughter dressed up, in addition she wants to try it on for Riley because he has set up a grand dinner tonight.“This is annoying,” she grunts under her breath and snakes her arm behind her back trying to pull up the zip, she slides her other arm over shoulder….

Seated on the sofa at the center of the office room, Chloe stares at the laptop screen , his clenched jaw tightens as he narrows his eyes in rage, his eyebrows dragged down, he forms his hands to fist, veins pop out his skin. He taps onto the enter button again for the sixth time, the video footage of the hall replays ; the clip of Riley and Aiden. The blue orbs fixed on the two figures in the screen, his eyes are blazing flames; dangerous.“Sir,” Kevin calls out, he swallows down the lump in his throat and strolls to the sofa, his feet stop when he observes Chloe.“What?,” Chloe asks, his tone low and stern.Kevin lowers his gaze and informs “The reporters are waiting outside, Sir,” he looks at Chloe, whose focus is on the laptop screen “All the news is about you and,” he stays silent for a second.“And what?
