Karachi (Romance Stories Online) — The parking lot was quiet, washed in the pale glow of streetlamps. Joshua adjusted his uniform collar as he stepped toward the old gray sedan. Inside, a young woman lay curled against the window, her breath fogging the glass.
“Ma’am,” Joshua tapped gently. “Sleeping in the car is prohibited.”
The girl startled awake, blinking hard. “S-sir… I wasn’t sleeping. I just— I closed my eyes for a second.”
Her voice trembled, thin like glass about to break.
“Please step out of the vehicle,” he said softly.
“But I didn’t do anything,” she whispered.
“Ma’am,” he repeated kindly, “please.”
She stepped out—bare feet touching cold pavement, hair tangled from exhaustion. Her eyes were red, not from guilt, but from days of surviving.
Joshua exhaled. She wasn’t a criminal. She was a girl who had nowhere else to go.
He lowered his voice. “Look… if you park over by the far corner, no one bothers you. You can rest all night.”
Her relief cracked through her fear. “Really? Thank you—thank you so much—”
“Wait, wait, wait.”
A harsh voice cut through the air.
Officer Reynolds—senior officer, notorious bully.
The kind of man who enjoyed power more than justice.
He stalked toward them, eyes narrowing at the girl. “And what exactly can she do all night long, huh?”
“She was asleep in her car—” Joshua began.
“You were asleep, huh?” Reynolds leaned close to her face. “Then why are your eyes red? Why do you look nervous?”
“W-what? I—”
“Hands on the car. Now.”
“Sir—” Joshua stepped forward.
“Junior officer,” Reynolds growled, “search her car. I’ll search her myself.”
Joshua froze. He knew the rules. Knew speaking up could cost him everything.
But watching Reynolds shove her legs apart, hands wandering where they shouldn’t—
“Hey!” Joshua snapped. “That’s enough.”
Reynolds smiled like a wolf. “Careful, Junior. You don’t have the rank to bark.”
But Joshua didn’t move. Couldn’t. Not with the girl’s terrified eyes begging silently for help.
Reynolds eventually backed off, annoyed. When he found an address in her backpack, he grinned.
“I’ll escort this young lady home,” he said smugly.
“No,” Joshua protested. “I’ll do it.”
“You stay here.” Reynolds smirked. “I’ll be back soon.”
The apartment she led him to wasn’t hers—Joshua realized that instantly. It was too neat, too silent, too empty of personal life.
He scanned the room. “Whose place is this?”
She swallowed. “I… I used to rent a room here. They kicked me out last week. But I still had the key.”
“You’re homeless,” he said gently.
She nodded, shame burning her cheeks.
Reynolds took a step toward her. “Well, well. A spacious apartment—just perfect for a coffee date.”
He winked. “I’d love a cup.”
“What do you want from me?” she whispered.
“Coffee. Sugar. Maybe you.” He smirked.
Before he could touch her again—
The apartment door slammed open.
“Get away from her,” Joshua barked.
Reynolds sneered. “This is private property. I can do whatever I want.”
“Not with her.”
“Oh?” Reynolds stepped closer. “And what’s she to you? A stray puppy? A charity case? Or something more, huh?”
Joshua didn’t answer—but the fire in his eyes did.
Reynolds chuckled. “As soon as she walks out that door, I arrest her. Your little crush becomes a criminal.”
The girl’s voice cracked. “So… I’m a prisoner now?”
Joshua turned to her, guilt heavy. “I’m sorry.”
“Christmas,” she suddenly whispered.
“What?”
“You asked if my family celebrates Christmas.” Her lips trembled. “I’ve never had a home to celebrate anything.”
Joshua’s heart twisted.
“Then,” he said softly, “I’ll make every day a holiday until we fix this.”
The next morning, she woke to music. And a… Christmas tree?
She blinked. “Joshua… it’s April.”
He grinned. “I borrowed it from the square where you slept the other night.”
“You what?!”
“I’m kidding!” He laughed.
But the tree was real, the cocoa was hot, and for the first time in years—
She felt safe.
Every day became a celebration. Halloween in April. Thanksgiving on a Wednesday.
And the laughter—her laughter—filled that empty apartment like sunlight.
Until the day he arrived early, cheeks pale.
“Joshua?” she asked. “What happened?”
He looked down. “I got fired.”
“Because of me?”
“No. Because of him.” Joshua forced a smile. “But it’s Valentine’s Day. Let’s celebrate.”
They went outside—flowers, soft lights, a makeshift heart-shaped arch he had built.
She stared, overwhelmed.
Then a voice sliced through the peace.
Reynolds.
“You wanted him back on the force?” the man sneered. “Earn it.”
He grabbed her arm.
“No! Please—”
Joshua lunged. “Let her go—”
Reynolds shoved him. “You’re nothing now. No badge. No authority.”
His rant echoed across the empty parking lot.
But he didn’t know Joshua had already called for backup. And his voice—every threat—was being recorded.
Three police cruisers pulled in.
Reynolds froze.
His career ended right there.
The captain turned to Joshua.
“If you’re willing,” he said, “there’s a senior officer position open.”
Joshua exhaled, relief washing over him.
But first—
He looked at her.
She handed him a small note.
“There’s a free passenger seat in your car,” she whispered, eyes shimmering.
“For me.”
His chest tightened. “Always. Wherever we go.”
“I promise,” she breathed, “to make every mile unforgettable.”
And for the first time in both their lives—
The journey finally began.
