Gator Tillman x OcFem!Reader

A/N: I attempted to edit something to add to the story while reading
When mentioning the word hacking it means different things and can cause a person to either react positively or negatively. I find that funny since the act itself isn’t the problem, it's the person and what their actions are. Once dad filled me in on what I was allowed to do, which is making programs, that when a picture of this woman appears in any database it should come up. The reason why is: no matter how many times someone changes their name or features there is a good chance that their face is the same. And there is always someone taking a picture/video nowadays so if something pops up even on social media that would be a start. I wouldn’t be surprised if she left this, Nadine lady-with what her file seems to say she got extremely clumsy after marrying Tillman including the wife before her and the current one. Going to his office to let him know about my findings and I tried telling dad that this might be a bad deal but as much as I hated it he had a point
“We can’t interfere with every case that has injuries even though he does give me a bad vibe. Sometimes people are clumsy, sometimes it’s something bad but we can’t do anything until we know for certain since one bad call can jeopardize our system.” And these are the few times I get reminded why he is good at this (and still in charge).
“But don’t you think it’s weird that he has been married 3 times in such a short time… I’m not saying I’m an expert by any means but seriously he can’t be alone for 5 seconds? Also what happens if we do fine the 2nd wife, I don’t think that it will be good for anyone if that is the case” dad looks at me with so many emotions I can’t pin any of them down. Sometimes I think if I wasn’t born into this life I would’ve been a good detective but who knows.
“I think we should focus on one thing at a time híja, no point in overthinking if she ends up being dead this whole time. Just finish up the program and make sure you can set up something with notifications so they can verify with their eyes whether or not it’s her. Tillman says to send it to his son… I think he said the name was Gator, interesting name if you ask me” with that he dismisses me from his office without knowing I now have a name to look up for… personal reasons
Back in my room I do a simple search to see who Gator Tillman is, hoping to see if it was the same guy I saw that day. Nowadays it’s more likely for someone to have an account in some capacity to be more surprised if they answer no and they're under 30. Well at the very least he has something for instagram
Well one thing is for certain: he sure is nice to look at. Hopefully there is more to him than looks especially if he is flaunting death on his profile. To look into this more clearly I’m going to have to get in somehow… I guess this town is getting a newcomer while I use their library. They might not even notice by the time I’m done with them but it will be worth it especially if I get a glimpse of pretty boy. Just have to convince dad into letting me on the field under the guise of it being by first case while being of age. Once I get the clearance…Incoming new identity just in case someone wants to look into me
I’m surprised that they have a library and use it at all since with the few people that have acknowledged me if you even want to call it that, have been giving looks of ‘what is she doing around these parts’ and even though they have a point in questioning my why that doesn’t mean they have the right
But it’s been around a week of just hovering. Who knows how people would react if I just started asking questions as soon as I got there. A newcomer appearing out of nowhere and suddenly asking questions would at the very least ask me to “politely” leave or at worst try to kill me, not like that would happen. As long as I control what they know about me the better. But it is nice that they use the library, especially the children. It seems like there is some type of program for after-school where a group of students come in with various pick up times. It’s funny how much people underestimate children in their ability to sense since just on day 2 two little girls came up to me while I was reading
“Hello” the more confident of the two spoke, startling me in the process “oh hello” making sure to mark my place since I don’t know how long this is going to take
“I’m Mary. Is that really your hair?Did you really color it that dark? Was it a lot of money to get it that long?-” running out of breath trying to say all this. The other taking the opportunity in saying her own piece while the first catches her breath “I’m Martha we are twins by the way” oh that makes sense
“Hi to you both and to answer your questions: yes this is really my hair, it actually naturally this dark some might even say it looks black, and this is all coming from my head” am I surprised by the questions. No but the look on their little faces is priceless “wow”
“Did you get tan this dark on purpose” asks Mary she seems to be more outspoken while Martha is trying to look over my shoulder in what I was reading. Luckily I’m reading something that is ok for them to see, brothers Grimm fairy-tales, well appropriate enough depending on the adult. “Um…I don’t tan” they both looked at me like I grew a third head while I’m trying to find an adult that is seeing this and hope that they would take them away alas
“What do you mean?”How do you explain science/dna to children that are probably raised to the very least not like me to put it bluntly. “You know how you guys were born with your skin just the way it is” keeping my voice steady “yeah”
“Well just like how you have your skin from when you were born it’s the same for me?” Holding me breath while they both take a moment then look at each other then “oh okay” and “can you read your story to us out loud” and just like that they acted like that wasn’t one of the scariest things I have ever done. And that is saying a lot with my line of extracurricular activities. So they both got comfortable in front of me and I read to them.
Ever since then every day after school when they come in,looking for me since I’m never in the same spot making it a game for them, and I would read to them a book of their choosing as long as they both agree. They usually get one story before heading to the bathroom with enough time to wait patiently for their mother. But this Friday went a little differently…
Gripping the wheel with enough force his knuckles are turning white. I can’t believe I have to pick up the girls from the library today especially with all this talk about this library princess, with the way they talk about her almost seems like they're making her up using Rapunzel? as an example. I don't know I haven't looked it up to get an idea of who they are comparing. Karen couldn’t even give me a heads up in the morning. No she had to let me know around my lunch the only time I get
“What ya need?” Trying to eat my sandwich before getting my break cut short “Just wanted to let you that Roy needs me with him for a meeting that will be going pass the time the girls need to be picked up” groaning for what is being asked of me
“Let me guess I’m supposed to pick them up and watch them while I wait for y’all to come back?” The girls are fine-just a heads up would have been nice since I got out early today, dad probably did that on purpose now that I’m thinking about it…
“Yes, dinner is already made, you just need to warm it up and the girls know their routine. You just need to be around to make sure no one bleeds and that the house doesn’t get on fire. Sounds easy enough?” Grinding your teeth while answering yes “good they should be waiting for you near the front an easy in and out if not you might have to look for them in the children section”
“Got it” and with that the call is ended and my day is planned, not like it wasn’t already
Now here I am looking like an idiot because of course the girls aren’t where Karen said they would, waiting in front and I’m looking in the children section, nothing. But once I take a second and look for them I see them tucked into a corner playing with someone, a lady, with long black hair that reaches her waist. I can’t see her face but I can see the girls are braiding small braids in her hair and the moment they see me, their eyes light up when they see me always hurts me just a little, I can't believe that their little hearts can love me.
“GATOR” those two little devils screamed their heads off earning a “shhh” from the librarians working today. But the girls screaming his name isn’t what concerns him, you still, the moment they say his name almost like you were electrocuted into place. He clears up his throat asking the girls
“Who is this-” his breath is caught in his throat while you finally turn around and he has never been so conflicted in his entire life. On the one hand it feels like he is looking at a goddess while on the other he is confused on why someone like you is here, let alone talking/engaging with the girls.
Pulling himself closer to their height “This is the princess we were telling you about during dinner. Ain’t she not pretty?” If only they knew how pretty he was finding you to be, which is crazy you aren't even wearing anything revealing and yet it’s enough for him to imagine… your voice pausing his thoughts
“Is that what you've been telling people, that I'm a princess? Should I be scared for a villain to come and take me away. That might happen if you keep telling this story I wouldn't be surprise if you guys come to find me one day and I disappear” your voice although teasing the twins don't seem to pick that up
“No! you can't just disappear like that” the other popping in “even if a villain wanted to steal you away it would be ok your prince charming will save you” you giggle, something he wanted to be the cause of
“And who would that be?” with so much certainty they answer in sync “Obviously Gator” to seal the deal they have made without either one of you in mind, they point at him just in case you didn't know who they were talking about. You both finally looked at each other, and it was like something snapped inside him telling him he can never look away. However, you look shocked, too shocked, maybe because you don't like the idea… that causes something in his stomach to hurt
“You girls can’t say that without asking your brother first, that is rude. How would you feel if someone made you do a task without asking you first. Now you wouldn't like that, would you?” You were trying to give him an out with the girls. But of course they turn to look at him and ask him directly “you wouldn't mind being her prince do ya?” Before answering he glances towards you he sees the faintest of blush on your cheek that he couldn't help himself and say “ as long as the princess is okay with being saved, why don't you guys say goodbye head to the bathroom I'll be right behind you” groaning they get their bags together knowing he will pick them up, saying goodbye to you even going as far as give you a kiss on the cheek. He has never been more jealous of them before in his life and that is saying a lot which he shouldn't be if anything he should tell them to not be interacting with you let alone kissing your face… a nice face not that anyone would ask.
With that, you were both left alone with each other and you both had a moment of silence neither one of you saying or moving until he clears his throat grabbing the girls bags. Of course Mary left hers close to your leg meaning he had to get closer to you, get near you, and feel your body heat. He was mentally preparing himself in the little timeframe telling himself he wasn't going to do anything stupid being near you but before he even took a step forward. You somehow notice what he was trying to do and without a second thought grab her bag from beside you and place it in front of you on the table siding it closer to him. ‘Fucking hell’ he doesnt know why this upsets him more than it should “Thanks”
“No problem- sorry about the girls spring that on you about fairytales and all that questioning” talking shush since you are in a library not like he gave a damn but couldn't help chuckling a response of “ don't worry your little head about that wouldn't want your charming getting on my ass for steal his girl” he knows it a low blow but he has to know
You actually snorted a little before composing yourself “ did you just try asking me if I have a boyfriend?”
“NO- why the fuck would I care” his chest tightening because why aren't you answering, why are you actually calling his bullshit out, no one has ever, not really and yet you do it so easily…
“Well… if you must know, you don't have to worry about a prince kicking your ass” grinning while resting your head in your hand almost like you’re tempting him. So enticing he got a little closer, he had to, almost whispering “even if you had one, I doubt he would win against me”
Leaning in close enough that he could smell you something fresh and citrus, he wonders if given the chance what would you taste… “That’s bold of you to assume charming, especially when I could easily kick your ass no prince required” Charming huh “I wouldn’t talk so confidently about that around these parts if I was you princess” and just like that almost like a switch was flipped, you moved back, away from him. No!? what did he say, he wants to take it back, get back the girl that cause a spark but before he could open his stupid mouth
The girls are running back in, grabbing him breaking the last bit of the bubble you both seemed to create “Gator can we go? We are getting hungry” clenching his jaw before turning your way hoping to say something but “Try not to annoy your brother too much girls it would be a shame if he started graying at his age” he wants to take his hat off and show you his hair prove you wrong but rubbing his neck is the next best thing “I think he probably has them already that's why he gels his hair back all the time” “or wearing a hat it’s cause he’s old” the other just had to chime in
“Hey you menaces! Quit telling lies, I am not graying and i’m not that old” heat blooming from his neck he knows there is probably an age gap between you both that doesn't mean the girls had to point it like that!?! Even though embarrassed the smile you rocked shakes him to his core making it almost worth it… almost
“ We should probably head out before they start eating each other or worse me” he shrugs knowing with the girls around who knows what else they will say. He steps forward like instinct while you lean more back like you are trying to torture him,but you aren’t not really, he wants to feel you even if just a a hand shake as lame as that sounds something. Would it be the same hand to jerk himself to later he won’t think to hard and yet you simply nod your head “Good bye Gator” no charming, just his name and although he wants to hear you say his name in different circumstances, preferably alone with a bed it still stings for some reason
“Bye princess, see you around” he says this hoping that he would but you smile as if he said something funny mumbling“sure” while they walk out. Tempting him to turn around, scared that if he did you would already be gone as if you didn’t exist to begin with. But with the reassurance of the girls talking about you the days prior it eases a bit of him keeping him to keep going forward. Walking out getting the girls situated in his car and finally getting them home something hits him, not only did he not get your name he didn’t even try to get a number or get some social media to at least attempt to keep whatever spark you had alive. And so without giving himself away
“So does the princess from the library have a name or did you really make her up and ask a stranger to play with you” hoping they take the bait “she says we can call her lady Lily because she swears she is a princess but we can’t tell people she goes to the library because her father will send knights to bring her back to the castle” Mary counties “but we haven’t told anyone other than daddy, mommy and you because you won’t let anything bad happen to her right?” He knows you might have stretched the truth for them to fit the fairy tale thing you guys have going on but you must have placed pieces of the truth in there. What are you hiding princess“don’t worry about her I won’t let anything happen to her but maybe don't talk about her unless it’s me since I have met her ok? The less people that know about her the better”
He now knows what he will be doing tomorrow at work during his down time moments once he gets his favor off of one of the tech guys at work. With the name you gave the girls, putting it in the database hoping to find you however what will come for a Lily with your face isn’t true especially since you just gave yourself that name…
