Page 14 of Testing the Kot'oll Officer

"I could have shown you how to clean your hair and body at the same time." He knows how to be funny in the most unexpected way.

"Oh, I bet you can clean both of us at the same time, big guy."

He yawns with his eyes getting smaller and smaller. "I bet I can do that, and..."

"Alarm for your shift tomorrow?"

He blinks. "Right..." He stares afar. "But I don't want to find my phone." He pulls me close. "Now, I wish I were one of those withtentacles." He gestures his arm at the door. "With long tentacles, I suppose."

I stroke his stretched arm. "I like these arms though."

The arm drops. I shiver and snap my head at him.

Well... I guess he falls asleep without a warning. Silly Vatok.

Chapter 7

Vatok

I shudder and my eyes open on their own. The ceiling is foreign. Where am I?

Something shifts at my side, in one of my arms. I blink and look at that hairy ball of... hair...

Ah, right. Now I remember.

This is Julie sleeping by my side, who I... fucked last night and...

A surge of heat brews in my stomach again and my cock twitches, wanting something more with her again. This is such a crazy feeling. It feels like I'm going insane, but I may not be against that, which makes it worse.

I carefully pull my arm away from her. If I remember correctly, I have a shift to... attend to.

I resist the urge to hop out of bed and run to check the time. She probably doesn't need to wake up as early as me...

Wait... What time is it?

There's a buzz in the living room. Is that a bomb?

I roll my eyes at myself. Why would there be a bomb in her home?

Out in the living room, it's my phone buzzing because of the alarm. I have it set a month at a time, the moment when I receive the shift schedule, so I should be fine even though I fell asleep without checking to make sure the alarm is set correctly. I do that every night even though I've never made a mistake setting that up.

I stifle a yawn as I check the time. It is the right time to be getting ready for the day. I turn around to look in the direction of her room. She's probably still sleeping. Even though I want to bid her goodbye before I leave, I don't think that's important enough to wake her. maybe I'll just leave her a note.

I rummage through my pockets, but there's nothing I can use. I'm not in my uniform after all. On the messy coffee table, there's a ripped envelope, which has a surface for writing.

This will have to do.

I grab a pen on the edge of the coffee table, which is set against a timetable with marks on it. It looks to be a schedule, maybe it's for her job. Regardless, I find a pen and that's what I need, nothing else.

"Julie - Had to leave for my shift. Thank you for... everything. Take care. - V"

I stare at the words, feeling they're inadequate. Too formal? Too casual? What exactly are we to each other now? Last night was... intense. More than just physical. But we're supposed to be pretending, aren't we?

My hand hovers over the note, tempted to add more, but I resist.

I should keep it simple. Professional. Even though nothing feels simple or professional about this situation.

I place the note on her phone, which is tossed to the side on the couch, where she'll see it. Different from starting my day at home, it will probably take longer to head to the office. Last night, I didn't pay attention to where I ended up, which is messy as a police officer, even though my shift was over.
