《Guns and Giggles》14. Kung-fu and Bloody who?

Advertisement

Usually it used to be me who woke up in the middle of the night after mind-blowing intercourse and left, leaving a note of course. The women obviously knew it was just a one-time thing before getting into it. But it felt really weird when Ariana did it to me. Like sometimes I would unconsciously roam my hands over the sheets hoping to find her next to me and I don't know- just hold her close to me.

But I would still see her for breakfast and whenever I went to find my sister. She was always there but still out of reach. And I realized I didn't like that. It was almost like an epiphany. Or not. I-I don't know I'm so confused! I guess this weird feeling grew since the first time she tried to hit on me- but also smacked me in the face when I didn't have her with me last night in my bed. I mean I did have her pretty much all the time physically but emotionally? I don't know.

Oh My God I think I'm going crazy. Emotionally really? I'm sounding like one of those people who are trying to sell stupid candles through the idea of energy chakras and stuff!

And that's the exact moment when I fell. Literally. Karma probably heard me because when I looked up it was none other than Ari itself with a stack of books and snacks in her hands. She looked like a deer caught in headlight and said "bless you!" With her wide eyes and shaky breathe.

"Bless you?" I asked, getting up and swiping away the dust on my jeans.

"Urm- yeah- uh it's an Indian tradition, younger people usually bend down and touch their elder's feet as a gesture of respect and the elders bless them- I don't know why I remember that now- not like you are younger than me- it's just you just suddenly came onto me like that at the turn and I was worried about not having enough snacks to read these books and-"

"You were worried about snacks?" I chuckled shaking my head. She looked so cute when she thought I caught her murdering someone and stuttered a little. This was my favourite look of hers.

Well fúck I didn't know you could have a favourite look! This is ridiculous!

"Uh- I need to get to work, try not to create much of a mess and- stay away from-" I scrunched my eyebrows, I didn't know where I was going with that so I said the first word that came to my mind "danger" and I left.

In my office the first thing that I saw was blood, not too much but just a few drops on my desk. I saw Michael pass through the front of my door holding his arm which looked like it was scratched badly.

"Mike! What happened? Are you hurt anywhere else?!" I rushed to him.

"Don't worry about it Alex, I'll be fine, just a wolf attacked me near the fence but another one pounced on the first one and I think it kinda tried to save me... I don't know man I guess I'm seeing things again" he shook his head.

"We gotta take you to the Doc come on, FEYONA TELL STEVE TO GET THE CAR AROUND!" I called out to Feyona when Michael resisted. "Alex! You know I don't like going to that crazy Doc, she always wants my permission to probe and test me as if I'm something inhuman! I'll just clean up the wound right here" He said in total seriousness.

In the end he convinced me to cancel the Doc, in return he let Feyona tend to his wound. I was kicked out of his room when he said he was fine for the seventeenth time and threatened to throw me in front of that wolf. So I had no choice but to go back to my office, the blood making sense now.

I saw an invitation placed on top of my files, an invitation to the biggest party of the year! It wasn't big in size per say but every rich person in every feild would be here, even the ones underground would crawl out of their holes for this party and this year's theme was masks.

Blood. That's what I see on the gauge cloth which Feyona is throwing away. Oh shit I forgot to clean up! Oli would kill me if he found out!

I run to the office doing some kind of weird parkour, light on my feet and open the door to reveal Alex standing near his desk who jumped when the door banged.

Good luck explaining this.

"What are you doing here?" He sighed shaking his head.

"I just thought you might be bored and as I am a living embodiment of entertainment I'm your cure!" I walked up to him like a cat but on two legs.

"Ooo what's this?" I pretend to read the invitation of some kind while looking around for blood that may take form of evidence if someone ever found the body I dumped in the forest.

It was of course the man that attacked this house. I thought it was just someone trying to rob and pay bills but after interrogation I found out he was sent here to find out something about the crimes of Dimitriou. He was being too cocky about being a man and me not being able to do anything and some more sexual comments. I was gonna let it slide but that man had already untied his hands and shoved his knife in my thigh. So I reacted and somehow he wasn't as cocky anymore, lying on the ground, unmoving. It was self defense.

I had to find a first aid kit as it's the only thing people never use but still have. Like who remembers how much cotton you used, or even if you have any cotton left in the kit. So I somehow reached his office and fixed myself.

"It's nunya" he said with a small smirk.

"What's nunya?" I haven't heard that word before.

"Nunya business" Damn. Roasted.

"Oh come on" I went to snatch the invite and he held it up higher. We struggled a little with playful banter until I decided it's too much work so I kissed him. The distraction worked and his wide eyes closed, his arms bringing me closer, I tried to reach for the invite but he smiled against my lips and raised his arms higher.

I smiled in response and slid my arm up in position before banging his left arm down, twisting it around his back kicking his knee and pushing my elbows lightly to his stomach. Soon he was bent down with his right arm stretched out as if he was my royal butler offering me the paper.

I took it and read the invite. Woah. It's as if it's Christmas and my presents are laid out in this themed party. Some of the top names of the attendees were also the ones who topped the most wanted list. Of course this was another kind of most wanted list. These were rich guys getting their dirty work done by lowly criminals who would get caught and die for them.

This was the perfect opportunity to find my next target. Or targets. The department that I worked for wasn't CIA but much secretive. I'm sure I would find someone who has been in hiding for years at this party. The evidence was of course within our department, even the CIA didn't have the clearance to what me and Oli had. Looks like my suspension will be cancelled early!

"This sounds like fun!"

"No" he straightened up. "Don't even think of coming with me, the only reason I haven't tied you to a pole is because my sister thinks you are someone I fancy, and what were the moves you did just now, Kung- Fu?"

"Not everything is Kung- Fu, Mr. Panda" I rolled my eyes.

"And if that's the reason to keep me around I should attend this party with you or what kind of girlfriend would I be?" A really really satisfied one. What? It's true, he's a God.

"The answer is no." He said coldly. To going or me being his girlfriend? Anyways ouch.

"I'll get into the trunk of the car." I threaten him squinting my eyes.

"That's cute" he waved it off leaving the room.

I looked back at the invite. Well time to be cute!

~•~

I got ready by godspeed because I knew he wouldn't wait for me, and I needed time to hack his car. But it turns out he takes more time than me just setting his hair to perfection! What a weirdo.

I was hiding in the bushes, wearing a black strapless gown, wishing it was full sleeved because these damn leafs were poking me.

Finally Mr. Fashionista came out to his Audi and sat in his driver's seat. He then banged his head on the horn muttering some curse words and got out to check his trunk. Now that's cute. While he was distracted I slide into the passenger seat.

When he returned to his seat and opened his door I let out a loud "surprise!" scaring the shit out of him.

"Why are you here?" He said with a hand on his face.

I just casually picked up the invite and point to the '+1' "Don't you need a date to these things anyways?" With a sweet smile.

"Fine!" he sat next to me. "But you're sticking with me and No. Funny. Business."

Sure it might be hard but I'll try not to laugh after I kill those brats.

"Sure" I decide to keep the rest of that sentence to myself. "And you love me too much to let me get away" I chuckled.

He gave me a weird look that he's been giving for the past few days now that I think about.

"Is there something on my face?" I try to see in the rear view mirror.

"No" he mumbled softly and starts driving. Somewhere on our ride there he wanted to play with fire as he rolled down the windows with a smirk on his face.

Ladies and gentlemen let me show you how extra I can be. I turned to give his a smile that said he just gave up his soul to the devil. Then I put one hand on the hood of his car, stuck my face out and pulled myself up to sit on the window, half of my body outside dangling and all the weight on my legs.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FÚCKING MIND WOMAN? Get down here this instant! DO YOU NOT CARE FOR YOUR LIFE!" he screamed while pulling over the car.

I finally got off the edge still smiling as he pulled me inside parting my unruly hair to find my face to scold me like a child.

"What goes in THAT STUPID MIND OF YOURS? You could have FALLEN on the road crushed by the next car zooming past! You could have died! Or be forced to live as a vegetable!" He yelled cupping my face with his relatively bigger hands.

"Well I already have ins-" I started to give a smart remark but found myself unable to speak as his lips descended on mine. The rush I got from risking my life was nothing compared to this kiss. If I can even call it that. It was much more than 'just a kiss'. It was a language, he spoke to me ever so often, he let out his frustrations, his worry, his anger and finally something lying underneath all this, care. He cared for me.

We heard a loud horn and some teenagers scream by which brought us out of our passionate frenzy. I loosened my hold on his neck and backed away just a little to breathe, he continued to leave kisses on my jawline and lower. His one hand was in my tangled hair while his other hand had made it's way into the slit of the dress, going towards my inner thigh. I grabbed his hand on my thigh to stop because if he kept going we wouldn't leave this car for atleast an hour.

I gasped as his teeth dug into the skin on my neck, my hands tightening on his hand. He was marking his territory! He back away after a small peck on my lips "Don't ever do that again. And this is the last time you are wearing this dress" he said, his eyes dipping to my chest and then coming back to my face.

The rest of the ride was quite, both of us clearly uncomfortable from the sexual tension.

When we reached, he got out and handed his keys to the valet then rushing to my door. He kept his hand on my lower waist, the stripped design of the back letting me feel his warm long fingers against my back.

"Smile" he whispered as camera started flashing as we made our way to the plaza where the party would be held.

As soon as we step in a man in velvet purple suit pulls Alex into a hug and says something about introducing him to 'The Man'. He literally drags him upstairs while Alex turned to me and said "Don't get too comfortable" still reluctant to leave me on my own.

I grabbed a flute from the waiter passing by and raised my glass to him with a roll of my eyes.
