and found his own way in the world. He's good solid people and I'm told that unless his heart is in it one hundred percent, Liam Hunt never volunteers for anything. So whatever you're doing there at Aurora's place , keep on doing it," Scott said.
Aurora had known Scott for years so his word was as good as any. Of course she would make the final decision as to whether or not she would keep him on as a volunteer. But there's no rush , she thought to herself. I'll see where things lead and besides, Liam Hunt might be a fly by night sort of guy. Just because he got the sudden urge to do the whole humanitarian thing doesn’t mean that he won't want to move on just as quickly. One can never be so sure with his type. His type always seemed to be restless, never wanting to stop and find something that they can really sink their teeth into, never happy.
When she told her friends about her upcoming date with Liam and voiced her concerns, they just had to set her straight. Mari held up a hand. "It's a date Aurora, not a marriage proposal. Although a marriage proposal from a hunk like that wouldn’t seem so bad," she joked.
"But all kidding aside I know we haven’t been here but a few days, but during these past few days both Rosie and I have noticed that you seem to take care of everyone but yourself. So go have a good time, get laid if you want to. The point is… ENJOY yourself, you deserve it and don’t worry about us we'll be fine," Mari said and turned to Rosie. "Won't we Rosie?"
"Of course, we're battered women, not wounded animals who need looking after," she winked.
"Alright, alright I get it. Thanks ladies, so you won't mind if I stay out all night?" Aurora smirked.
"Please do," they said in unison.
"Ha! Fat chance of that happening, I just met the guy," she grinned.
Officer Nick Barek got out of his truck and headed towards the house.
"Someone's here," Rosie raised her voice slightly in alarm.
"It's alright Rosie. It's just Officer Barek, he's come to talk to you and Mari about what to do if you think your being followed and he's going to show you guys a few self-defense moves," Aurora told them.
"Is that why you told us to dress comfortable today?" Mari yawned. She'd just come down the stairs and was wearing a pair of yoga pants and a tee shirt.
"That is exactly why," Aurora grinned.
"I want the two of you to learn how to defend yourselves and know that you have every right to defend yourselves."
Mari nodded her head in agreement while looking out the window.
"Crap!" She yelled out.
"What is it?" Aurora asked. "I told you, it's just Officer Barek.
"Well you failed to tell us how good looking this Officer Barek is Aurora. Geez," she said and motioned for Rosie to take a peek.
"And of course we're in sweats," Rosie exclaimed.
"Well ladies, he's here and he's not going to wait. Besides, isn’t it better to see one another in your natural habitat? This is the real you, no more airs and no more pretending. You have to show people that they have to take you or leave you as you are."
"Says the woman who's freshly showered and looking as gorgeous as ever." Mari teased.
Aurora gave them a smile before opening the door.
"The yard looks great," Nick said and made his way inside. Mari and Rosie casually shied away as Nick moved towards them.
"I took the liberty of bringing you ladies some coffee and donuts. I thought we'd take this time to get to know one another before we get into the heavy stuff."
When Aurora introduced him, Nick smiled warmly and shook their hands. "Ladies, I'm not here to preach to you, nor am I here to criticize. I'm simply here because I believe in what Aurora does, and I want to help. So with that being said, let's go over what you can do if you think that someone is following you. Because there is going to come a time when you both are going to want to venture out on your own and of course that's fine. I would think something wrong with you if you didn’t." His smile
