ARIANA GARCIA'S POV

Do you remember the scene from Home Alone, where everyone is running around the house cause they woke up late and it's the epitome of a mess? Or when your substitute teacher in class is a shy newbie so the whole class takes the reins from her hands?

It was like that but slightly worse seeing as we were moving every freakin' thing to our new house.

Seriously it was almost like we packed up the whole mansion and attached it to a towing truck.

Michael being the gem he is found the perfect house for us! But he refused to show it to everyone, except me of course because he knew they would all have an opinion of their own, which I thought was a great idea after the Home alone scene.

"Will I have a big closet?"

"Yes"

"The kitchen has a good storage system right?"

"Yes"

"Is there an electronic store nearby that sells originals as well as first copies?"

"Yes"

"Is Alana's college nearby?"

"Yes"

"Are there many guys?! Uh I mean people I can be friends with?"

"Ye- I don't know! I haven't been there! Come on Steve it's a place where people live! Guess!"

"Aaalright everybody excuse me- uh Zach, Alana could you- yup that's fine..." Alex squeezed into the crowd that had formed around the breakfast bar with me in the center of it.

"Okay everyone! There are cupcakes in Zach's room on a first come first serve basis and- oh they're gone!" He laughed.

"Thankyou so freakin' much!" I dragged out a long sigh and bent over backwards on the table.

If anyone came in they would think I was dead.

"You're welcome." Alex smirked, then put his arms around my lifeless body and carried me to the sofa.

Who knew being in a relationship would get you a personal chauffeur too.

"Soooo I want to ask you something..." He scratched his neck.

"Oh noooo" I dolphin dived into the cushions.

"Hey hey hey! Come on now there's no need to be excited." He rolled his eyes as he pulled me back with his arm around my waist.

He was now sitting on the corner seat with his legs up on the sofa and I was on him, my back cocooned in his chest. Do you know how comfortable that is? How godly it feels? I sighed and snuggled into him.

"What do you wanna ask now?" I asked as he played with my fingers and sniffed my hair.

"So we're moving into a new house..." He stated.

"Uh-huh" I nodded.

"And it's a good house as you and Michael describe it..."

"Uh-huh" I nodded again.

"But-"

"OHMYGoshhyoudontwanttogothere! I knew it! Damn it, don't worry I'll cancel the deposit-" I interrupted him.

"SHUT UP!" Alex yelled.

Then he sighed and rubbed his face.

"Ariana Garcia I wanted to ask you if you would've liked to move into a room with me, as girlfriend and boyfriend. But now seeing as how insecure you are I'm making you move in with me, as a punishment." He grabbed my throat with his hand and kissed me hard.

His kiss slowed down to a loving pace and finally we separated.

"Will that punishment go beyond being in that room?" I smirked and fluttered my lashes.

"It will start In. That. Room." He stated.

"Oh how I'm gonna punish you in that room." He bit my lower lip playfully when we heard a gagging sound from Alana.

~•~ (Time skip- Just a few days)

I heard shuffling around the room and stirred awake to see Alex with his shirt half buttoned and doing his belt.

"No. Stop it!" He pointed a finger at me.

"What did I do?" I giggled in a sleepy voice.

"We are not have séx again, I can see it all over you're face. I've already overslept and my boss doesn't entertain tardiness." He came over and pecked my forehead.

"Fúck your Boss." I rolled my eyes.

"I will, tonight." He kissed me hard before rushing out of the door with a wink and a smirk.

I sighed with content and rolled over to check my phone.

Yes, I was his boss. Yes, I couldn't wait to get more of him tonight.

An intern dropped off a coffee in my office and informed my that the General was ready for me.

I walked in the conference room and found my boss, The General and other Special agents from around Europe already discussing. I took a seat and they started speaking again.

"We need to hit the iron when it's hot."

"Or you could heat up the coal later!"

"We don't have enough time or resources to conduct the strike."

"We have enough agents all over Europe, don't tell me we can't do this now."

"We can't, they need training, they haven't worked with each other, they don't trust each other. And Trust is everything."

"She's right, training could take up to 2 months."

"Unless, we already have a trained team." I chimed in.

"And who may that be?" The General asked, hope filled her voice.

"The 'Phoenix'" I made air quotes, trying not to laugh.

"Your boyfriend?" She rolled her eyes. This jealous bi-

"My recruits." I almost snarled.

"Yes but-" one of the Special agents started.

"I have worked with them, they are efficient, highly skilled and more off the radar than you could ever be. They have a skilled Hacker, muscle men and the brains to go with it." I boasted.

"That doesn't make-" General squeaked.

"I'll quit if they are unsuccessful." I challenged her. She has always been worried about me taking her place.

Maybe I should ask for another promotion when they get the work done.

"I can voucher for her! If she believes they'll get it done, then they already did." My boss pitched in. We might have a love-hate relationship but we really got each other's back.

I nervously bounced at the entrance of the house, waiting for everyone to get strapped up.

Alex came out first and pulled me to him by my hand.

"I think I should cancel this. Anyone can do this job, you don't need to go! The Omega team is back from their operation, they can do one more and get a hefty reward for it." I hugged him, mumbling all of that in his shirt.

Alex ran his hands over my back in a soothing way and dug them into my scalp, pulling me up to leaving a longing kiss.

"Trust your instincts." He said with a smile.

"I hope you don't mâsturbâte to her picture while we are camped." Michael pushed his shoulder to get to his shoes.

Yes this is a no shoe in the house - house.

I smacked him on his head which made him growl as I laughed in his face.

"Don't hit me." He grumbled.

"Don't make me." I snickered.

Everyone stuffed into the small foyer, trying to get their footwear when I announced important suggestions.

A.k.a. rules.

"Alright everybody! I'm going to trust my instinct and let you all go but y'all better trust your instincts on the battlefield! No over-smart decisions, no impromptu actions, unless your gut tells you to!"

"Aye aye, ma'am!" Brian saluted.

"And of course if your instincts is not to come home and eat my chocolate cake I'll kill you myself." I looked at Alex for an answer.

"Definitely." He nodded, I could already see the stars in his eyes for cake.

I turned to the guys, "If anyone of you comes back brain dead it's fine but none of you stop breathing okay?" I squinted my eyes, giving the death stare.

"I swear I'm more afraid of your wrath than death itself." Zach mumbled. I patted his back in approval with a smile.

"Cute! Okay bye guys! Try to protect your stomach I'll have a cake ready!"

Everyone groaned because they got hungry already.
