added a character if that’s alright, thank you for the prompt c:
Waverly didn’t want to be the jealous type. She had a reason when she was dating Champ, as well as she has a reason when Willa came back, but with Nicole? Waverly never had to be jealous. That was, of course, up until there was a new intern at the sheriff’s office.
Riley had just graduated from taking criminology at the University of Purgatory and was working as an understudy. Nicole, therefore, had the responsibility over her.
“Riley can’t be that bad? I mean, how old is he?” Waverly asked after listening to Nicole’s complaints about how she ‘not only had responsibility over the entire town, basically, but now over some newborn baby with a “degree”’.
“She’s, I dunno, like, twenty-something.” Nicole shrugged. Waverly froze in her motion of clearing the table from left-over pasta.
“She?” Waverly asked trying to act like nothing.
“That would be the pronoun.” Nicole sighed and dumped her fork in her pasta as she buried her face in her hands, oblivious to what Waverly had realized. “You know, she couldn’t even file paperwork correctly. No order or anything just a mess.” Waverly chuckled.
“What, did you want her to color code it for you?” She leaned over and kissed Nicole’s forehead from behind the chair. “Don’t worry. Maybe she’ll learn.”
The next day was different, though. Waverly came to surprise a hard working Nicole with some of her favourite coffee when she all of a sudden heard laughter as she entered the office.
“Hello?” Waverly tried carefully knocking on the wall as the two women came into view. They were sitting on the table talking, both with a coffee cup in their hands.
“Babe!” Nicole outbursted, smiling as she got up to greet her girlfriend. “What are you doing here?” she asked confusedly after she gave Waverly a quick kiss.
“I- uh… I brought coffee.” Waverly answered a little monotonous. “But I can see you’ve already got that.” Her eyes were stuck on the supposedly ‘annoying’, 20-something-year-old, Riley. Riley was short. A few centimeters from Waverly’s height, with short, curly hair and an officer’s uniform. After a few seconds, Waverly realized the shorter girl was smiling at her and reached out her hand.
“Hi, I’m Riley.” Riley said as Waverly slowly shook her hand. “You must be Waverly. Man, Nicole doesn’t shut up about you.” Waverly, who had been quiet for a while, smiled a little and looked back at Nicole.
“Doesn’t shut up about me, huh?” Waverly said as Nicole blushed slightly. The police radio went off with some news of crime and Nicole and Riley started getting ready.
“Well, duty calls.” Nicole said and put on her heavy belt as she kissed Waverly on the cheek. “I’ll meet you later, ok?” Nicole and Riley left Waverly in the now empty office with the coffee still in her hand. Waverly sighed as she took a sip.
“What are you insinuating?” Nicole shook her head in confusion as an upset Waverly was talking about the ‘pretty new officer’ who Nicole had more in common with than her.
“I’m asking you if I should be worried? I mean I don’t want to go oblivious. Not again.” Waverly said quietly.
“You seriously think I would cheat on you? Having a girlfriend like you…” Nicole sighed. “I could never cheat on you. Never.” Nicole grabbed Waverly’s hands and their eyes met. “You understand?”
“Can you promise me that?” Wavery said with a low voice, half afraid of what the answer might be. But just Waverly was about to open her mouth again Nicole closed the gap between them and brought her hand through Waverly’s long hair to deepen the kiss. Both of them backed up against the wall as Nicole broke contact for a second.
“Does that answer your question?” she asked as Waverly smiled and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.
“We’ll see.” Waverly leaned in again to have Nicole wrap the shorter one’s legs around her waist.
