The day was long but you came back in mint condition. You made it to your apartment and took a nice hot bath. In the bath, you were thinking. Maybe a little too hard. 'Hello, darling.' 'I'll come back in one piece.' You chuckled, tears manifesting in the corners of your eyes. "You dumb liar." Getting out the tub, you hear your phone ringing.
"Y/n! We on a roof in New York! Come meet us!" He says excited.
"Thanks Roman but I kinda wanna be alone right now." You say scratching the back of your neck.
"If you come, you won't regret it. Come on girl!" He tries to convince you.
"Roman, thank you but please...don't call me again." You hang up and put your phone down.
You put on some pajamas and find your hidden stash of ice cream. "Time to drown my sorrows in food." You smiled. Collapsing on the couch and turning on the electric box.
Shaw POV.
After the dinner, he was just lounging around. He liked having company, as annoying as they can be, it was nice. "Yeah, she said she wanted to be alone." Roman tells Ramsey. "Ah man. I needed to ask her something." Ramsey mentioned. Shaw said his goodbyes as he was leaving he got stopped by Ramsey. "Leaving so soon?" He nodded to her words. "Yeah, errands and stuff." He leaves before Ramsey interrogates him anymore.
On the drive to her apartment he tried to coach himself on what to say. "Hey, I'm not dead anymore." He shakes his head. "I faked my deat- Oh bloody hell. Fuck it."
Your POV.
"And now I'm here." You state to your cousin/best friend with ice cream in your mouth. "Y/n, you can't just sulk on your couch. My deepest condolences but pull yourself together." You scoff and roll your eyes. "I'm on my own time so I can cry and ball like a baby. As much as I want." You say as you leave your tears to glide down your face. "How are you even crying without sobbing? Its just like waterworks." She says amazed.
"Because of pent up feelings." You give her a thumbs up. "You were saying something about a roof top." She asks lying down. "Yup. Roman invited me but I blew him off. I don't know if you noticed but I'm a wreck right now." You suddenly hear knocking at your door. "Go Away!" You yell at the door and focus back on your call. In response, the knocking turns into banging. "I'll call you back." You say. "I bet its roman." She chuckles. "I bet too."
You hang up and get off the couch. The banging continues. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" You take a deep breath and open the door. "Jeez, you're about to knock down my do-" You freeze in place. There a dead man stood before you. Before he could even get a word in you slap him across the face. "That's what you get for lying to me you bastard." You utter, wiping your tears. You then rap your arms around his neck and pull him in a tight hug.
He slowly raps his hands around your waist, hugging you back just as tight. "Maybe, I deserved that." He whispers in a low deep tone by your ear. You slowly trail your hands from his neck to his chest. With both palms you push him off you. "You definitely deserved that." You cross your arms over your chest. He studies your face. "You were crying." He caresses your cheek and uses his thumb to wipe away the tear stains.
You hesitantly move your head away. "You're being difficult, love." You roll your eyes and grab him by the arm, pulling him inside. 'God, why did I miss him so much.' You thought asking yourself a rhetorical question. You locked the door and turned to him. "You're an ass hat." You walk past him to the couch, picking up the ice cream and spoon. "You've become quite the potty mouth."
He leans on the counter as you put the ice cream back in the freezer and the spoon in the sink. "ha. ha." You sarcastically laugh. You turn to him and stare at him with a hand on your hip. He notices and gives you a smirk. You walk up to him and examine his face. Grabbing it in your hand and turning it from side to side. "I hate you." At those words, you press your lips against his. Moving your hands to his cheeks, holding his face in your palms.
He kisses back almost immediately. Leaning towards you with his hand still on the counter. Meanwhile, his other hand is rubbing and gripping on your hip. At lost of breath, you break the kiss and smile. He then presses his lips on yours like it was his only source of air. Moving his hand from the counter to your lower waist, same with his other hand. You also moved your hands, from his face to his neck.
Your lips moved in unison as if you've kissed him a million times before. But no. This was your first time kissing him and it was amazing. Finally, you both break the kiss due to a light headed feeling. You gasp and look at him, breathless. He smirks at the wicked state he left you in. You grab his shirt collar and pull him towards you. "If you EVER pull a stunt like that again. I'll find you and kill you myself." You then release his collar.
Before, he could reply to your promising threat. Someone knocked on the door. You groan in frustration, since you just closed it. You slowly walk to the door and sigh, opening it. Ramsey waves at you. "Oh, hey Ramsey." You give her a authentic smile and open the door wider to see Tej with her. "What brings you here?" You ask. Their faces filled with slight surprise. Your face hints at confusion.
"You just sound...less depressed." She clarifies and smiles. "Besides the point. We need to talk to you on some very important matters." You move aside and let them in. Tej hesitated before walking all the way inside, at the sight of Shaw. All the while, Ramsey walks in like nothing new has happened. Shaw noticed that they walked in but was currently occupied with his phone. "What do you need to talk to me about?" You lean on the counter as she opens her laptop.
"This is a thing now." Tej says in a lowly tone, pointing at you and Shaw. You nod embarrassed, and look to the side. "Anyway, important matters?" You change the subject. "God's eye." Ramsey states. "Didn't you get it back?" Tej shakes his head. "Cipher gave it away on the dark web. It's in transit as we speak." He shows you his phone. You watch the gps then look to Ramsey. "You need me to accompany you to get it back?"
You speculate her plan. She nods. "But we need four people. Two drivers, two passengers." You look back at Shaw then her. "Okay. What are we doing? Where is it going?" She sighs. "As far as we know it's going to Las Vegas for a underground auction." You nod to her. "We asked Mr. Nobody for a plane. We leave in 3 hours." You see Tej and Ramsey with bags. "Bag's in the car." Shaw says still captivated by his phone. You sigh and go to your room. "I guess it just me then."
You didn't take long to pack, just the necessities. With a duffle bag in hand you walk out, still in pajamas. Tej and Ramsey wait outside the door. You stand infront of Shaw. "I'm driving." He follows you out to the car. You hand Tej a com. He smirks then enters their car. "No way, I'm letting you drive. You drive worst than my grandma." You dart your eyes to him. "How do you know that? You've never seen me drive before." You shake your head at him.
"Fine." He shoves the keys into your hand. "Fine!" You smile and hop into the drivers seat. "Don't crash us." He says slightly sulking in shotgun. You couldn't stop smiling, it was hurting your cheek bones. Your speeding through cars, going at least 140, to you and Shaw this was cruising. "Whoa. Y/n slow down there." Tej chuckles through the com. You grab it and speak to him. "You're probably going too slow." At that you see him right next to you.
"What was that? Sorry couldn't hear you. Too slow." You scoff at his statement, excitement flooding your nervous system at the up coming events.
