《Sirens in Seattle》{chapter 26}
Advertisement
"Reckless behavior, a place that is so pure.." I sang along softly to PillowTalk while curling my eyelashes up.
My hair fell down my back in soft waves that took about 20 YouTube tutorials and multiple times to re start, but they eventually came out how I wanted them.
I chose high waisted jean shorts and and a flowy chiffon v neck tank top type thing paired with my knee high gladiator sandals.
Of course under my outfit was a different story that goes along the lines to trip to Victoria Secret.
"Bout to leave the station , see you in around 20 my love." My phone dinged showing a message from Phoenix.
My stomach did a whole bunch of little flip flops and I hurriedly put all my products away to go meet my man at a simple chain restaurant. I honestly don't care if we don't constantly eat expensive dinners , as long as I have Nix on the other side of the table.
Phoenix was in his cop car today because he spent some time on the streets so I grabbed the keys to his Rover, since to be honest I didn't want to have to get gas in my car.
I tossed my purse in the passenger seat and got into the drivers and took a few minutes adjusting the seat before I was off to the restaurant.
Traffic was annoying but it wasn't as bad as I expected so I arrived early.
The night life of Seattle always thrived with different kinds of people, all enjoying themselves and I loved that.
After I gave the car to valet to park I walked into the restaurant that was bustling with waiters running around all types of friends laugh in and talking.
The restaurant was rather large with an old Italian Renaissance theme and high ceilings.
"How can we help you tonight miss?" A blonde hostess asked kindly.
"Two for Phoenix" I said back.
"Oh he just arrived , you can follow me and I'll show you were he's seated." She kindly told me leading me around tables to a booth that was some what in the back, but still had many people surrounding.
"Enjoy your dinner, your waitress will be over soon." She ended before walking away.
Phoenix was on his phone but when he glanced up he did a double take and quickly stood up.
"You look amazing Mia." He said giving me a brief kiss on the cheek.

Phoenix's hair was still intact from this morning telling me that his day at work wasn't too rough. He was still in his officer uniform but damn I didn't mind. It definitely hugged his in all the right places and I could tell his working out has been paying off because his biceps have have grown.
"Same goes from you officer." I replied teasingly and having a seat from across from him.
"How was your day?" I casually asked while looking over what type of sandwiches were available.
"Pretty slow, only a few traffic tickets no real arrests today. We continue on the case tomorrow." He replied while also looking over the menu. "And yours?"
"Well" I began "you so wouldn't even belive what happened in class tod-" I was cut off my Phoenix's phone ringing.
He quickly went to shut it off but then he looked up and gave me an apologetic look. "Mia I have to take this-"
"Go ahead, it's fine." I shooed him away as he answered his phone and left through the back door. I could still him through the glass windows and he looked pretty angry pacing back and fourth.
I tried not to let my petty annoyance get to me, I mean this is what signed up for.
"Is he your boyfriend?" I heard a voice ask and I turned to a booth of 3 15-16 year old girls , the brunette one asked. The other two were blonde and a fire red.
"Yes he is" I replied giving them a smile.
"You guys are really cute." The blonde replied making the red head sigh in agreement.
"Aw that's really sweet thank you guys." I replied.
"And he's really cute! I wish I had a boyfriend that was hot and took me out to dinners." The red head spoke up.
"He is super hot." The brunette added making me chuckle and seeing myself in the younger girls.
"Well if I can give you guys any advice, don't depend on a hot guy to come swoop you off your feet and take you to fancy dinners. Stick with your friends and be independent, and if a hot guy happens to come along so be it." I advised the girls making them nod.
"He's a officer?" The blonde asked and I shook my head yes.
"Ugh he would look amazing on my tumblr page." She continued making me giggle.

"I'll see what I can do." I said before turing back around and waiting for my boyfriend to come back in.
About ten more minutes passed by and I had to send the waitress away a few times before I finally seen him come back in with red and flushed cheeks.
"Everything ok?" I asked seeing annoyance in his face.
"Yeah it's fine, just my co workers can be really annoying and stupid sometimes." He muttered about to sit back down.
"Wait!" I stopped him as he was about to sit down making him raise and eyebrow and freeze.
"Can you take a picture for that girls tumblr page behind us?" I asked giving him the best puppy dog eyes.
"What's a tumblr?" He asked making my jaw drop.
"Oh my- I'll explain later, just go let that little girl take your picture." I shooed him to the booth behind us.
I had to hide a huge smile as I seen all the girls eyes widen when he approached their table.
"Did someone need a picture for tumbling or something?" He asked awkwardly making me stifle a laugh.
The blonde girl shyly raised her hand and pulled out her phone. "May I?" She squeaked out.
Phoenix nodded and let her take a few pictures and followed her instructions on how to pose.
It was literally the cutest thing ever so I quickly pulled out my phone to snap a video for keepsake.
After a few minuets he made his way back to me with a confused "what just happened" face.
"Don't you just love teenage girls?" I burst out laughing making him join in eventually.
"Obviously, I'm dating one." He pointed out making me roll my eyes.
"Not for loooong." I sang. "My birthday is coming up." I reminded him.
"Think about what you want to do for that , and I'll take you." He said sipping his strawberry lemonade I ordered for him.
I was interrupted by the three girls leaving and telling us bye, the blonde one setting a paper on our table that had her tumblr url.
"They were actually pretty adorable." He commented as they were leaving.
"That they were." I agreed still looking over the menu.
"I would rather daughters over sons." He shrugged making me look up.
"Probably same, a lot more cute clothes." I joked.
"One day we'll have a big family." He said making my spit get caught in my throat. My heart swelled at the thought of me and Phoenix raising our own mini mes one day, but one day faaaar away.
"One day faaaar away." I said out loud.
"Why?" He asked confused.
I was about to explain how I have a lot more schooling ahead of myself before I could even think about raising another human but the waitress came around and took out orders ending that conversation. But it definitely raised a question in me . I'm pretty sure Phoenix wanted kids a way lot sooner than I did but that could be a conversation for another time.
Tonight was date night.
"Are going to come home with me tonight? Or back to the station?" I questioned as we finished up or meals and we're waiting on dessert.
I so couldn't resist any type of chocolate cake.
"I wish I could come home baby I really do." He tried to explain but I shook my head.
"No, no, it's alright." I said forcing out a smile.
We continued small talk before it was getting really late and we had to start heading home.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Mia I promise. I'm sorry we haven't seen each other much, it's mostly my fault." He sighed.
Yeah it is. A voice in the back of my head barked.
"No I'm good. I understand." I said my voice cracking a little bit.
I was in love Phoenix. My heart was consumed with his quirky come backs and million dollar smile. The fact the amount of time we see each other keeps getting smaller and smaller killed me inside to be honest. But what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't let him achieve big things.
We split ways and I walked in the brisk night back to the Rover when a hand caught my wrist.
I quickly turned around to be faced with Nix.
"I don't care if I get in trouble. I miss you." He said breathlessly.
I smiled and jumped my legs around his waist as we got lost in our kisses.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

The Gambit
The kingdoms have rarely experienced peace, with kings and rulers warring against each other on any percieved slight. With explorers riding the waves to find new lands and merchants eager to set up trade routes while profiting as much as possible. Would the status quo still hold up? The veil is already weakining as more magic and horrors seep through the gap. How would the world deal with the sudden increase in the limited resource of magic? With the times changing, barren lands become trade hubs and the power shifts. The system holding it all together, is in a fragile balance, would a single death break the balance and cause the most devastating war the people have experienced. The direction of the story : The story will not contain any main protagonist, rather multiple protagonists and antagonists with the protagonists having bad some character traits and the antagonists some good ones. I plan to make a story of flawed humans, so if you are looking for OP MCs you would not enjoy it. But I still hope you give it a try. This is my first time writing and I am doing it to get better, so any suggestion or criticism is welcome. I am a university student, so do not expect a robust upload schedule, I'll try to put out 2 chapters a week, but there might be some delays. I apologize for it in advance. P.s. English is not my native language, so there might be some errors, though I tried to mitigate them as much as possible.
