Arrest brought us closer
Your screams echoed through the small apartment as your best friend tickled you. She was uninvited in your apartment after you had already prepared yourself for your little movie marathon while in your favorite fuzzy pajamas. Your eyes were welling up and soon tears were falling from your eyes as she tickled you.
“I’m not going,” you yelled after escaping from her attack.
Maria was sitting on your bed with her dress slightly lifted up and a few fallen strands escaping her messy braid. “Why?” she asked with her eyebrows furrowed as you never say no to her.
“Because I know what you’ve been up to,” you breathed out. You stood a few feet away from your bed wiping away your tears and the only thing she could was to stare at you with her eyebrow raised.
“And what would that be?” she questioned although aware that you could’ve easily found out.
“A blind date with Frank’s friend, I know you girl; you can’t hide anything from me.”
“But you are still going,” she stated smiling before hoping of your bed and to the closet.
“No, not really.”
“Come on, Billy would be perfect for you,” Maria insisted as she looked through your clothes. She even pulled out two dresses that you bought once and never actually wore. She placed them on your bed only for you to put them back in.
“Neither you or I know who would be perfect for me. When I was younger I thought that Keanu Reeves would be perfect, but guess what he isn’t.”
“Are you serious right now?” she questioned for the first time actually realizing that you had no intention going. You would usually go as she would’ve stayed with you refusing to go as well.
“Why would I be Padfoot?”
“Of course that you have to make fun of everything that I say,” she exclaimed throwing her hands in the air in defeat.
“Well, this was your fault, remember when you were begging me ‘please Y/N, please read Harry Potter to them, I can’t, not again’ so yeah, it’s on you,” you shrugged before fixing the pillow on your bed so that you could get comfortable but you didn’t even get the chance to lie back down before she started again.
“You can’t pass this.”
“Oh, just watch me, although FYI you are not really invited to stay as I’m angry at you and I need my me time,” you threw the other pillow at her face not really caring if her makeup gets ruined as she had done that to you many times before.
“Come on he is perfect,” she was now pouting like a child as if you had forbidden her to eat chocolate.
You only wish that she doesn’t start screaming and crying like kids do when something is not the way they want it to be.
“Wait, I just got an amazing idea and nobody would be disappointed,” you offered as you pulled a cardigan over your shoulder before sitting down.
“Alright, what?”
“You already said that he is perfect and he is Frank’s best friend, so why don’t you three have dinner and then a threesome. I mean all three parties are satisfied, more than that and you leave me alone,” you had a grin on your face as you finished talking and you could see clear annoyance on hers, but you were proud of your little idea, it’s not like it hurt anyone.
“Are you really going to be like this?”
“Are you really going to set me up with a man whore?”
“What?” she asked staring at you in confusion.
“Well, I did some digging and I found things,” you admitted it wasn’t completely true as you wouldn’t do to someone but she didn’t have to know that you heard Frank mentioning that once.
“It was supposed to be a blind date,” she exclaimed hoping that you would go, although now the chances were lower than before.
“Well, I wished that I was blind after seeing some things,” you teased and seeing her reaction there really was a chance that there was some evidence about it and that alone was already a firm no from you.
“He is not like that anymore,” she insisted.
“Really?”
“Yeah, now please get ready and stop using your work privileges to spy on others,” Maria warned referring to your job in the FBI, however, you didn’t need that to know something.
“Any dum-dum with internet can do it.”
“Go dress,” Maria said pulling back the maroon dress she previously took out.
“I’m ready,” you said as you grabbed your phone, wallet, keys and your badge placing them in your small backpack and taking your gun from the safe.
“What?”
“It doesn’t really matter if I have long fuzzy sweatpants with a warm cardigan or a skin thigh dress as I have no intentions in being with that guy, not even to have sex and it’s really been a long time.”
“Alright, let’s go, you will be the one who will regret it,” she warned you while begging you with her eyes to change your mind.
“Not if you were truthful when you said that he has changed.”

The drive wasn’t long and if you were lucky you could leave in an hour and be home with enough time to watch those movies. After you parked your car Maria led you to the small restaurant, it seemed a bit posh, but you didn’t really care as in your line of work you had been seen wearing worse, especially undercover.
“Hey, you are la…What are you wearing?” Frank asked as you approached the table. He was clearly surprised as he glanced from you to his wife in question.
“It’s called clothes, I’m sure you are aware of that,” you asked as if not understanding what he meant.
“But to the restaurant?” Frank asked as even he had a button up which Maria forced him to wear.
“Wait, do you want me to strip?” you asked still faking your naivety and you didn’t miss his friend smirking at your behavior.
“Y/N, this is Billy,” Frank finally introduced you and after you were sited next to Billy you turned slightly towards him.
“Hey, did they torture you too, to come tonight?” you questioned without even glancing to your two friends who shared a well-known look.
“Not really, what did they do to you?” Billy asked curiously as he stared at you with his chocolate eyes.
“Tickling,” you whispered as if it was forbidden to say it and it made him chuckle.
“That’s not torture, I tickle my kids,” Frank added.
“Well, my dear Frankie,” you started dramatically leaning closer over the table to him. “Tickling was used as a form of torture during the Han Dynasty for the nobility.”
Frank only stared at you just as Maria and soon silence followed and you were secretly enjoying this as with this Maria will learn lesson to stop messing with your life.
“So…” Maria started and you only smirked.
“So, awkward silence, I loved those,” you exclaimed before the waiter came to take your orders.
And the moment the waiter left Maria looked at you. “Y/N, just give it a try,” she said at your obvious lack of trying to get to know Billy.
However, to you, that was useless as even if he wasn’t a man whore you still knew that you weren’t his type and from what you heard from Frank about his friend he didn’t seem as yours although you didn’t even have a specific type. You just hated when people were trying too much and were over flirtatious and just fake as you had seen so many in your line of work. And truthfully not many guys want to be with a woman who could kick their ass and who would stand up for herself and those she cares and your ex learned that in a sort of painful way.
As you had to travel a lot for work your then boyfriend would get lonely so he would cheat on you with his coworker. You were well aware that he would sleep with her in your apartment as he had a roommate who knew you and the girl didn’t even know that you existed. So you decided to revenge and it was sweet revenge indeed.
“I have no tries to give left, what about you Billy, how come that you agreed to this?” you asked the man next to you.
“Because Frank told me a lot about you, he said that we have a lot in common.”
“And what would that be, Frankie? It’s certainly isn’t our profession, we both carry a gun, but it’s not the same thing, so what then?” you questioned again more so to annoy your friends.
“Y/N, are you really going to do this?” Frank asked and Billy could just stay silent as he had no idea what was Frank talking about.
Billy was truthfully intrigued with you as usually he was the one who would be like that with Frank he only hoped that you will actually give him a chance.
“Just answer my question, I mean we both know that nothing in our love life could be in common, I mean only if he slept with one of the only two guys I had sex with,” you shrugged just as the waiter was coming with your order and you could see the young man blushing at your bluntness as he give you your food and you could only wink at him.
“Y/N, stop,” Maria pleaded.
“Alright, but when this ends in disaster let’s all be aware that only thing I wanted was to have a lovely evening with my dream lover,” you shrugged before looking down to your delicious looking plate.
“And who is my competition?” Billy asked grinning at you.
“Well tonight it was Keanu, but yesterday it was Hardy, I kind of can’t decide.”
“It is a tough decision,” he agreed with you and you couldn’t stop yourself from smiling.
“Exactly, and what about you?” you questioned.
“I have to say Hardy, it’s the accent.”
You started laughing at his answer almost choking on your drink. “I didn’t mean between them.”
“Yeah, but I would still say the same.”
“Alright I have to tell you that you are a terrible liar,” you pointed out totally oblivious to Frank and Maria who were observing your interaction.
“I’m not lying,” he insisted.
“Alright, then why am I here?” you asked with your voice sterner as if you were angry but you were having troubles in hiding a smile.
“Hmm…”
“Well if you prefer male company more than female just as I assumed the moment I saw you why am I here then?” you shrugged before moving your gaze from him to your friends.
“You are trouble…” Billy said as he watched you.
“You can ask my ex how true that is,” you murmured but he heard you.
“Y/N, please don’t talk about that,” Maria warned you as it wasn’t really the right why the way you dealt with that situation, but you wouldn’t change it maybe just to make it worse.
“Now, I need to know.”
“And know you shall my little padawan, listen and learn.”
“This is going to be good,” Billy turned more towards you giving you his full attention as you started the story.
“Well as Frank probably told you I’m an FBI agent so I have resources and friends to make you suffer. After I found out that my then boyfriend was cheating I made a little plane of revenge. As he used my place to fuck his side piece I called a friend in police and got him arrested for breaking and entry. He was brought to the station in his boxers and put in a holding cell until his layer came. And then when he was questioned the officer told him that they had problems in finding the owner, he spent like ten hours there and still he didn’t want to call me and say what was happening as then I would find out that he cheated. And finally when a few more hours passed by I arrived to the station as I was the one who could press charges and I was let inside and none of it was by protocol which his stupid ass didn’t even notice and like we then spent half an hour talking, with him explaining his made up story to me and that I just have to explain to the police that I know him and then he would be free to go, and what not. It was pathetic and when a police officer came in I looked straight up at my boyfriend and said that I don’t know him. Then he was brought back to the cell and the next day I had my friend realis him,” you spoke with your eyes sparkling as you were proud of what you did although it wasn’t nice, he did cheat on you for more than two months.
“I guess that he stayed away from you after that.”
“No, I actually was waiting for him in front of the precinct and before he could say anything I just looked at him and said: ‘I hope that now you have learned how it feels to be betrayed’, he was the one starting to apologize, but I just turned around and walked away,” you admitted shrugging and you could see the change on Billy as if he admired what you did.
“Nobody crosses you,” he stated with a smirk on his face.
“Oh, they try and then they learn.”
“I like that,” he admitted and after that, your evening only got better as you exchanged stories about your work and some funny things that happened to you completely forgetting about your two friends.
