She's a Secret Agent?! (English Version)

[42]

"I'll just go out for a while Martin" I called out to him and he emerged from the kitchen.

"Where would you go? It's too hot outside" He worries as he glanced at my gauzed wounds. 

"I'll just go to the seashore for a while, I won't do anything stupid" I tried to reassure him. I badly needed some fresh air. 

"Fine. Make sure you get home by ten. We have to change your gauze" He nodded and returned to the kitchen cooking lunch. I got outside and went straight to the sea beds as the sand crunched beneath my flip flops every time I take a step. It has only been two days since we arrived here. We were now in a far island to the North. I was really serious of getting away and trying to start anew. I also don't know why probably because of the events that just happened. I wanted to rewind and relax. Besides, I want to move on from Misaki.

Speaking of that woman, is she okay now? Did she already been discharged from the hospital? I hope so. 

I sighed when I reach my destination. Isla Aguas was really a beautiful place. The people were also just used to leaving simply here and it was amazing. It's like Hawaii 2.0. I smiled at the people I walk pass by that were carrying their own things, usually surfboards and then smiled back.  I sighed in content.

There's everything that I wanted here. There was peace here. That was all I wanted, right? Then why am I not so happy? Then why am I still thinking of that woman who is the epitome of danger?

My eyes went to the clear water.  I closed my eyes as I inhaled the fresh wind as I tried to relaxed. I let the warm sunlight hit my skin.

I let out a long breath and concentrated. Inhale, Exhale.

"Cross!"

Wait, why does that voice sounded oddly familiar? Is it my imagination or something?

"Cross!"

I opened my eyes and searched the surroundings. My eyes widened when I saw Daniel not far from me waving and smiling.  I blinked twice. It was really him!

"Daniel you're here!" I shouted excitedly.

I smiled broadly cause I miss this moron, but how come he knows I'm here?

I was about to approach him when he suddenly pointed at and shook his finger like I've done something really bad. He even pretended to slit his throat using his finger while he points at me. I frowned. What was that supposed to mean?

I froze on my spot when someone emerged from his back. I was shocked to see Misaki.  What is she doing here? 

Her face was showing no emotions as she slowly approaches me. I was dumbfounded when I see her wearing a summer dress, its hem slowly flowing in the wind. She was indeed Misaki. Gorgeous as ever. When she was meters away from me, she smiled my systems went to a haywire. 

"M-Misaki" Damn. I stuttered.

"Cross" her voice sweetly drawls almost making me fall into a trance. She was leaning unto my face and I didn't stop myself from leaning closer to her.

But the stinging sensation on my cheeks as she slapped me woke me up to my senses. Ouch. 

"Jerk, Why did you leave me?" She growled as I flinched back. I cupped my stinging cheek that I knew was now rd. My tears threatened to fall on the sides. I swear it was that hard. 

"M-Misaki, I'm sorry" That was all I could muster but she was having none of it.

"Curse you! You effin jerk" she raged and because of instincts I ran away from her when she raised her hand to hit me again. I don't want to die. I thought leaving her was a wise decision. But I now I know it just isn't. Now she's haunting me like the dead. 

"And where are you going you bastard? You are so dead!" She ran after me with long strides. I looked behind and almost shouted in fright when she was catching up to me. I forgot she was a well trained agent.

"Misaki! No!"

She jumped at me just when I turned to her we fell down on the sand thrashing. She was on top of me, straddling my back as she keeps on raining punches on me.

"Ouch!" I tried to cover my head but to no avail.

"You're a complete jerk!" punch.

"You effin left me !" punch.

"You left without even saying a proper goodbye!" punch.

"You idiot!"

"How could you do that to me? You only left me a freaking letter, how am I supposed to live with that?"

I looked at her when her punches on me weakened. I was shocked to see her already crying. Her tears were now falling on my shirt making wet blotches. I shifted and sat down. I held her in my arms as she sobbed. I was surprised to see her cry. Never had I seen her cry. And I felt stupid for making her feel like this.

"Misaki, I'm so sorry I thought it was for the best" I honestly say as I wiped her tears using my hand. That earned me another punch from her. And I deserve it.

"Well, you thought wrong Cross" she snapped. I bit my lip hard. This was my fault.

"I hate you" she states and I looked down. I deserved to be hated by her because I hurt her.

"I hate that I can't hate you"

I slowly lift my head and looked at her staring back at me.

"I love you Cross, I hope you realize that"

My eyes widened in surprise.

"Really?" I stupidly ask.

She nodded and I immediately hugged her, relishing her presence.

"I'm sorry if I didn't say all of that in person" I whispered, still hugging her. 

"I'm sorry if it took too long for me to realize it also"  We both chuckled. After a few minutes we let go and I stared at her dark orbs. 

"But how about Daniel?" I hesitated. I knew he had feelings for her too. 

"He's okay with us. He was even the one who urged me to find you" she smiled. I looked from a distance I can see him holding his thumbs up while smiling broadly.

"I'm glad you're here" I say as I took her hand. I engulfed her into a hug once more. I couldn't ask for more. With her, I feel complete.

"I love you, Agent M" I whispered on her ear. I felt her frozen under our hug. I looked at her face and she was blushing. She tried to cover her cheeks but I pried it away and she was furiously blushing deeper.

"Are you that thrilled Agent M?" I teased and she tried her best to glare at me. But she was puffing her cheeks and she was just too cute I can't help but laugh.

"No, it's allergies. Stop laughing" she dismissed and looked away. I grinned because I knew I was right. I peeked at her face to see she was still blushing.

"No, you are" I hugged her from behind and she squealed as I lift her into the air. Her melodious laugh flowed through the air like music. She faced me and stared deep into my eyes.

"Cross" she paused and I waited. "I love you too"

I nearly shouted in joy as  I hugged her again. God, I could hug her millions more and I wouldn't even get tired of it. I thought romance movies were just exaggerating those things but damn they were right. Love really is great. Fuck when did I get all so mushy-mushy. 

"Really?" I ask her stupidly. 

"Yeah, silly" She laughs and punches my arm slightly. I sighed as I hugged her tightly.

"But remember Cross," she whispers on my ear as we were hugging.

"Cheat on me and I'll cut your manhood off"
