Prompt- Lexi goes somewhere she's not supposed to be (old military ruins)... idk why she's not supposed to be there, I just wanted to see how the 3 diff guys in this series would react.
“Oh, come on, Tav, it’s a cool place for photography.”
“You and your photography. Did you get any good pictures at least?” Tavo reached me now and put a hand on my back, to push me forward a little.
“Of course! All of my pictures are spectacular.”
“I still have to write you up, though.”
“But whyyyyyyy!”
“It was called in.”
“Fucking gossiping neighbors. Why’s everyone so nosy?”
“We’ll just do a quick report and a few swats and then you’re out.” He said it so nonchalant, it almost didn’t register that he said “swats.” Eeek!! Tavo swats are both my favorite and least favorite!
“Awww come on, do you have to? I’ve learned my lesson.”
He literally laughed, so loud that it echoed through the town, and didn’t grace me with a response.

“Lexi! Get out of there, right now.”
“Jeez, Mat, relax, I’m coming.”
“You know you aren’t supposed to trespass on private property, but especially after night.” He wasn’t like Tavo, it wasn’t enough to just yell at me to come out, Mateo literally was coming for me before I even got out of the abandoned building. My camera was even still set up. “I told you to get out of here,” he growled, landing two sharp swats on my bottom.
“But my photos!”
“I don’t care about your pictures. You’re out here after dark making so much noise that the neighbor thought you might be hurt.”
“Nosy little…”
“Enough. Let’s go.” He snatched up my camera and tripod and pointed towards the door. He was right on my heel because he walks so much faster than me, but wasn’t about to lead the way for fear of me staying behind. He knew me too well by now.
“But, Mat…” I tried, slowing and turning.
He took my upper arm in hand, not allowing me to stop. “You have been warned several times to not trespass, so there is probably nothing you can say that will get you out of this.”

“Lexi. Get out. Now.” Ramon’s voice bellowed through the empty dilapidated building.
“Just a second!”
“No. Out. Now.” A man of few words. And little patience. “If you aren’t out in three seconds, I am escalating your offense. One…”
Ahhh!! I quickly snatched up my tripod, not caring that it was in the middle of a long exposure shot. I appeared in the doorway right as Ramon was reaching the third second.
“The ruins are off-limits. You have been made aware of this rule before.”
“It’s a dumb rule.”
He reached out for my tripod, and I gave it to him, thinking he was just going to be nice and carry it along. Instead, he decided to be dramatic and handcuff me!
“Wait, what are you doing?!”
“Taking you in.”
“For sneaking into the ruins? Everyone does it!”
After the cuffs clicked in place, Ramon turned me around. “What did Tavo tell you this morning?”
I looked away, not answering. Because Tavo had told me the ruins were off-limits and that a few people had called in reports of me being there.
“He told you to stay clear, and you didn’t listen. So now you will deal with the consequences.”
