Abby bit her lip. “Sorry… I’m just super observant. Kind of a kicker growing up in a house where you have to pay attention to what things look like rather than what they sound like…” she said quietly. “I didn’t mean to be nosy,” she said, her voice hushed a bit more as she ran her hands through the curls at the end of her hair. Looking back up at her coworker, she smiled a little bit. “I don’t have anything planned, Owen… I mean, if you want the company, I’d love to join you. I hope you have ice cream,” she said, her lips curling up into a giant grin.

owen stayed quiet a moment, he wasn’t sure how he felt at first about someone else knowing but he supposed if it was going to be anyone? abby was the best person because she knew how to keep a secret. owen offered a faint smile, then when she apologized he shook his head. “nah, don’t be sorry. its better you stopped me.” he told her honestly and he lay the money on the table for their orders before he waits for her to join him so they could leave. “ice cream sounds great, lets go.”

Michael smirked at him. “Yeah, yeah, but considering you share my DNA you can expect the same thing for you in a few years, bub,” he teased. “I needed a bit of a break. Plus kind of hurt my shoulder a while back. I mean it’s healed now, but I still do our scrimmages on the weekend with those of us around the circuit in town, just for training purposes and to stay active. I do train a few guys, though right now.” He rolled his eyes fondly. “You’re just a natural with her, Owen,” he smiled. “See, those are good. I wish I could drink more of them,” he hummed. “How’s work going, by the way?”

“maybe, but i’m only twenty-seven, brother. i’ve got time.” he winked, then he nodded listening as michael spoke. he remembered something about an injury but at that time he had been overseas and that took up most of his time, that and when he was able to speak to zoey and ava. “maybe you should look back into it since it isn’t injured anymore and you’ve been staying in the circuit anyways.” owen suggested to his older brother then smiled at the comment. “she is the one who is good with me. but i will take the compliment man, thanks. work is good –– had a busy night last night, had a few busts and then a few domestic assaults but other than that it was pretty quiet.”

“You rang? I told you the cheetos were in the pantry, dork.” Sabrina stood up against the door frame looking at the person who was going through her kitchen. “You never told me you get the munchies this bad and you also never told me your butt ass naked. No complaints here, next time I won’t give you the strong shit.” 

“because i don’t smoke often.” he chuckled, ripping open the bag of cheetos. “they randomly test at the precinct and my test was two days ago so i’m solid for another six months at least, figured why not indulge.” he smirked, popping the orange chips into his mouth. “because it was hot and it’s not like it’s nothing you haven’t seen before, if your legs are tired i have a very nice seat for you.” he winked.

“Yeah well all the guys I tend to attract tend to prove to me that I shouldn’t fall in too deep.” She shrugged. “It’s okay though I’m over it, can’t say the same about him though, people like to talk around town so I know a thing or two. It doesn’t bother me though, he’s hurting so I get it I guess.” Sabrina took a sip from her glass of orange juice. “I did, Harvey Kinkle. Then I guess your afternoon is now busy as well cause we’re gonna hang out maybe do things that could be illegal who knows.”

“i like your mentality here. if only most people could show so much maturity after break ups, i get being hurt that’s normal but sometimes people take it to the next level.” he shook his head, diving further into his breakfast because his exercise routine left him starving and he was on the midnight shifts for the SFPD, after he finished babysitting his niece. “illegal? you trying to get me to play mr officer here and get into a kinky role? i can do that.” he teased her, winking as he did.

“Well, I developed a taste for the stuff from my grandpa. Heineken’s always been his favorite. Also, I love pretzels,” Abby smiled at him. She glanced over carefully at him and bit her lip. “Good, because now that we’re nowhere near the station, we can just talk like normal people,” Abby said, playing with the cocktail napkin in front of her. “Can I ask you something? And it’s not to be nosy or try to prod into your life because we all know talking to coworkers about personal stuff can be super awkward…” she cleared her throat a bit. “How long?” she asked, referring to the chip she had spotted on Owen’s keychain. 

owen was a little caught off guard, he didn’t know she paid such close attention but then again she was a forensic scientist so he should have figured that she would. other than his family and AA group, no one knew of owns struggles so even brushing the subject was different. “ten months.” he said, scratching the back of his neck as he thought about what he was doing. “and no.. it’s not awkward, you’re actually right. i shouldn’t be here right now so i’m gonna.. bounce on out. i mean you’re welcome to tag along, but i don’t want to disturb your night.”

Iris shook his hand to seal the deal knowing fully well she was going to lose but she had to be confident, that’s just how she had always been and probably would always be. “You got it, may the best win for sure. Can’t wait to see the look on your face.” She kept teasing not even hiding the fact that she was checking him out right now as he stretched himself out. This boy was something she thought, casually stretching with a smirk on her face.

“alright, whatever you say.” he said, winking at the other woman. he pointed ahead to a lightpole. “start there, first one to make it back here wins. we will use the red van here for a marking place.” he says, twisting a little to make certain he was all loosened up and he did a once over on her. he had to admit, the confidence she had was a turn on. a lot of women would just giggle like an airhead and talk about how they wouldn’t win. “ready?”

“No I’m not,” Michael snorted. “Not yet. So hush. I still have a few years before I have to face that reality,” he shook his head laughing. “I mean, my twenties were pretty good. Doing the wrestling gig, teaching. I can say I was a gym teacher that didn’t actually suck,” he grinned. He nodded at her. “I know she is and I know you do, which is why I’m not going to smack you right now. Also because you’re holding my kid,” he chuckled and rolled his eyes. “They taste…. they taste really gross. But I was doing a special workout at the time and I kind of had to. Now that that is over I can drink normal protein shakes like the rest of you.”

“nah, i meant as far as your looks go man. career wise you’re golden, make a man jealous. i remember your wrestling career, you were bad ass –– why did you ever stop?” he asked curiously, then he chuckled, holding his niece a little closer as she yawned. “good to know. i’ll make sure whenever i’m around you i’m holding her so you can’t do a thing about it, shouldn’t have even given me the idea.” he teased, he wouldn’t give his brother grief, at least not too much. “honestly, i stick by banana and peanut butter protein shakes because anything else? i can’t deal.”

“It did actually I’m better off without him honestly, the whole being a girlfriend thing isn’t me. I gave it a shot this time he just chose to go against my trust. So I left for a few days handled some business that needed to be taken care of and here I am.” She smirked slightly then cut off another piece of her pancakes. “Hmm, then what are you doing now other than having brunch with me, we could always do something afterwards. You know like old times.” 

“i get that, i haven’t been a one woman kind of man in a while. good for you, bet he’s a prick isn’t he? his loss.” he rubbed his hands together, signaling the waitress with his food to be dropped at her table now and he stabbed his sausage with a fork before biting off a piece. “so, where all did you go on your roadtrip?” owen asked curiously. “did you just proposition me, brina? you sure know how to keep a man on his toes.i’m not doing anything until tonight, gotta babysit my niece but i’m free all afternoon.”

abbyxsanders‌:

Abby had just gotten out of work. She had stayed a little later, filing some evidence for the week’s cases, ready to get them worked next week. What she loved about her job was that there were so many different situations they ran into. Of course, she got the back end of things, usually being the one to find the one piece that would book the guy they needed. So her hair was down, changed into flats and lo and behold, she Owen was there. Silently, she cursed to herself when she realized she was blushing. “A long week, Cap had me signing off bags of evidence for next week,” she smiled and bit her bright pink manicured nail between her teeth. “Get me a Heineken. And some of those salted pretzels, please,” she smiled, before looking over again. “Owen,” she said his name softly. “Now that we’re off the clock, I don’t have to be so formal, right?”

the light blush over her cheeks was cute, he smirked and watched her for just a moment before nodding his head. “good call on the pretzels, perfect with a beer. you never fail to surprise me, sanders. i also pegged you as more of a corona woman.” he told her honestly and then he raised his brows ever so slightly in the lighter tone she used. “no, you most certainly do not. i prefer the informal.” he knew he needed to stop after one drink, he shouldn’t have even allowed himself to come in here with the temptation but he knew if he took much more than that it would be a dark and slippery slope.

after a long nights work, owen was ready to just let loose and have some drinks –– he knew he shouldn’t, but a couple of drinks wouldn’t hurt, right? he was walking into the bar when he spotted his co-worker across the room and lips curled into a smirk as he walked over to greet here. “abigail.” he said, taking a seat in the empty stool next to her. “what brings you out on a night like this? not that i am complaining, saves me from chillin alone.” owen winked at her, immediately he ordered himself a beer and looked over at abby. “and whatever the lady wants.”

“Yeah, those nerds did me some good I can’t deny them that. Ah, well maybe one day she’ll drop a wealth of knowledge on you when you need it since she’s got a decade of experience on you. And I mean blood will make you do crazy things for each other, I know I’d get scrappy with anyone that decided to do my brothers wrong in a heartbeat.” She said without hesitation because there had already been times where she had gotten a little dirty on her brother’s behalf. Her brow perked up a bit with that information giving him a smug grin. “Well, well. I will. Mhm, I kinda have to now. — Please, you’ll be eating my dust for sure. So let’s do this. After the next turn, we take off and see whose the real speed demon here. Deal?” She said after they turned the corner and had a bit of stretch till the next turn in the track.

“family, what can ya do? those ties are always there.” he said, then he couldn’t help the snort that rolled from the back of his throat as she challenged him. did she not know running was something he did literally every single day? she was about to find out. “you have got yourself a deal, miss iris cohen.” he smirked, holding a hand out to shake her own. “may the best man or woman win, yes?” he asks her and then after he stretched a little, bending down to make sure his hammies were worked out.

Her blue eyes settled on his as she gave him a side smirk then placed her fork down. “I could say the same about you, Owen. You and I do have a lot of fun, I went away for business and obviously some pleasure. My brother thought I needed this to clear my mind about a break up I had. But that’s irrelevant, how have you been? “ She asked passing over a menu to him. 

“what is life about if not fun?” he asks, smirking at the woman across from him and he winked, reaching out for one of her slices of bacon and he popped it into the mouth as he waited for the food that he ordered. “did it help? break ups are shit, so i get it. if you ever need to take your mind off.. you have my number.”
