Agent Z.E.R.O. ~ A James Moriarty x Reader Fanfiction

Chapter 13 ~ Old friends

Eliana's POV:

"What did you just say?" I stared at him in disbelief.

"Will you be my queen?" He asked again.

"I- James, we met like a week ago-"

"I know that, but you can't deny that we have something special"

"This is all moving a bit fast-"

"I'm not asking you to answer right now-"

"Well then what are you asking me? What do you want me to say?!" He put his hands around my waist gently.

"All I'm asking is if you want to be with me, I know this is moving fast but you're special to me"

"I need to think about this... a few days ago we still hated eachother and now you're asking me this?"

"I'm sorry if I freaked you out, and I understand if you need time, but I just wanted you to know that I do want you in my life, and you know I don't feel this way about a lot of people.." One of his hand moved from my waist to the small of my back.

"Just-
let me think about this" I said removing his hand from my back, and leaving Moriarty mansion.

When I got back to my apartment, my mind was still bursting with millions of questions.

To take my mind off of things, I decided to go see Molly. She literally lives across the hall, and she gives great advice. She has seen me through it all. If there's anyone I can trust with this, it's her.

A couple minutes later, I was sitting in Molly's living room, drinking a cup of tea and telling her everything that had happened between me and James.

"Unbelievable. You're telling me that you've been back in London for two weeks and last night you stayed over at your brother's enemy's house?"

"I know, it sounds so bad-"

"Not just bad, completly messed up!" She laughed.

"It might sound funny to you but I have no clue what to do right now!"

"Well yeah he's one of the most wanted criminals in all of England! He stole the crown jewels- he broke into the bank of central London-"

"Okay Molly I get it! And truth be told, my hands aren't so clean either-"

"Being an MI6 agent or doing all of the things I just summed up is completly different!"

"Stealing someone's life vs stealing the crown jewels...I'm almost starting to think my past is worse-"

"Do you like him?!"

"I don't know- Truth be told I haven't felt anything for anyone since-" I stopped talking and looked down.

"What happened was not your fault"

"That's hard to believe when everyone keeps telling you it is"

"It's been two years...Ryan would've wanted you to move on" She said with a sad smile.

"I know that, I'm just not sure what my feelings are at the moment.."

"El, do you like him?"

"I don't know! Kinda! Maybe? I can't even figure out what I wanna have for dinner let alone something like this!"

"Do you like spending time with him?"

"I can hardly believe I'm saying this but yes, I do enjoy spending time with that douchebag."

"Then you have to tell him! He told you he wants you in his future, and if you feel the same way he deserves to know"

"I'm just afraid it could end badly if it doesn't work out.."

"You're basically already enemies, how much worse could it get?"

I knocked on the door of 221 Bakerstreet. I was expecting mrs. Hudson to open the door, instead it was Sherlock.

"Eliana, changed your mind already?"

"Hell no, keep dreaming brother. I'm here to pick up something I forgot- Is mrs. Hudson here? She has the key to my old apartment-"

"She's not here right now, but in the meantime I want to introduce you to someone- well actually, John wants to introduce everyone to her-" Sherlock said as we walked up the stairs towards 221B.

"Introduce us to who-?" The door opened and I froze completly. This couldn't be- there was no way, she died, how was she standing next to John in the living room?

"Eliana, this is Mary" John said with a warm smile. I tried to smile back, but was unable to hide the shocked expression plastered onto my face.

"Yes uhm- John we've met before" I said.

"When-?"

"We ran into eachother when Eliana was on a mission-" Mary said quickly, or rather Rosamund. Who apperantly now goes by the name of 'Mary'.

"Oh, well that's...interesting"

"Yes, very interesting.." Sherlock said, looking at Mary suspiciously.

I was about to go back to my apartment, when I heard Mary come down the stairs behind me.

"Eliana, please don't tell them"

"Tell them what? How you're an assassin and you're hiding your entire past from them? Including the man you're marrying?!"

"Ssh, don't say that loud!" She whisper-yelled.

"Look, I've never been friends with A.G.R.A. so why should I save your ass now?"

"Because I'm just trying to have a normal life, after everything that has happened...Can't you out of all people understand that?"

God I hate her. But what I hate more is that she actually has a point... I mean, I moved to New York for two years to get away from my own past, maybe she is just doing the same...

But then why out of all places, in London? And why get married to a guy who's best friend is one of the best detectives in the UK?

What the hell is wrong with me, why am I trusting people so easily?! James... Mary... Who says they can be trusted? But then again, who says they can't be trusted?

"Fine, I won't tell them. But the second they start to suspect anything, I will, so you better keep your act together." I said to her and closed the door behind me.
