I Knew You Were Trouble

Chapter 6

Veronica's POV: 

Right before I left work from a nice nap that calmed me down Jae had to tell me some new's. Well just more information about what I learned before. So I have to get up at 3AM get to the airport and meet ETHAN there. Wait to get onto the airplane for 2 hours and be on the plane for 5 and half hours with him right next to ME! I'm going to kill him someday, no pun intended. Hahaha get it... I'm a NYCSA agent so I know how to do that stuff. Never mind. Nothings ever funny when you have to explain it.

The first thing I did was pack. All my shirts and pants in one case, and all my shoes in another. I would take a shower once we go off the plane. I would be dirty from going to so many different places with lots of people. 

I had to call up Sky though and tell her the news. And ask her to babysit Margo for the days I was gone.I called her up.

"Hey Sky."

"Verna! Hey"

"Can I come over for a bit?"

"Ya sure! See ya soon!"

We hung up. I ran to my car after feeding Margo. Once I got to Sky's apartment I knocked tentatively. She opened the door happily but looked worried when she saw my face. Guess when I'm mad I can't hide my emotions as well. "Hey, come in." I walked in, sat on the couch and sighed. She sat down with me. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Everything!" I started. "Ethan got promoted, and because Jae is mad at me because of my last mission from today, his first mission is with me. I guess because she thinks I need supervision and she thinks Ethan will be good for that. Or maybe she's just trying to annoy me. I don't know which one is right."

"We'll I think it's great he got promoted but why is it so bad that he has to work with you? Are you admitting you hate him?" She said raising an eyebrow.

I thought about it. "Well," I said "I'm happy for him that he got promoted. That's good for him. I guess I know why it's so bad that he needs to work with me. I actually don't hate him, I like him... a lot. He's cute with his brown hair, tall body and brown eyes with flecks of gold in them." Right then Sky raised her eyebrow again and gave me this look like you didn't just say that did you? I laughed uncomfortably and continued. " So I need to keep this act up-of hating him- for longer than I want. And it's getting harder. Because the worse it gets the farther away he gets from me."

At this point Sky's mouth was wide open. "Close your mouth, you'll catch flies." I said while laughing. She closed her mouth.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Um. "I was scared to tell you and I had kept it up for such a long time I thought it was to late." I said. "I'm glad you told me now." she said, " If I had known I wouldn't have said that stuff on the phone." I sighed "It's OK, but you weren't right in a way." She looked at me with a puzzled look on her face. "I swore to never fall for someone again after my last boyfriend broke up with me in high school. It was a week before graduation. He was cheating on me with a girl from another school. I had other boyfriends before but when we broke up it's because it wasn't working. And with all my old boyfriends we were friends after too. But the thing that was so bad was that he was CHEATING on me!" I sighed. "I'm so sorry Veronica." Sky said.

"Well when's you mission?" she asked. "Tomorrow!" I exclaimed. "We have to fly to Vegas together. Will you watch Margo for a few days?" I asked, pleading. "Please!!!" Sky laughed "Of course, silly. Now go home and sleep you have to go on a mission tomorrow!" She was right. "OK fine thank you." I said, "I'll drop her off at 4 tomorrow, k?" She laughed again. "OK i'll get up at 4 so you can drop her off." She said before she shooed me and closed the door.

When I got home, I jumped into bed with Margo. Tomorrow was going to be a long night.

Next Day:

The next day when I woke up I had lots of energy. That was good. I was going to need it. After dropping off my sweet Margo, giving her lots of kisses, at Sky's I went to headquarters. I had to get the file with all the information on it. Jae didn't give me anything yesterday so i guessed I had to go pick something up. Turns out I was right.

When I walked in there was actually someone I didn't know at the desk where Ethan usually is. I knew he wouldn't be there because he got promoted but I didn't think they'd get a replacement so fast. The girl at the desk had long blond hair, obviously straightened, piercing blue eyes and a full mouth. She looked like a bitch. My instincts were right.

I was about to ask for the file's when she said, "Well it's the famous, bitch." I did what I did best. I fired back. "Thank You!" I exclaimed. " She gave me a confused look. I laughed silently. "A bitch is a dog, A dog barks, Bark is on tree's, Tree's are nature, And nature is Beautiful. Thank You. You just called this girl in front of you Beautiful. Oh and famous. Don't forget that too." She glared at me. "It wasn't a complement!" "Look I just came in to get the file's. If you don't give them to me, i'm going to miss my plane, and you will die along with the others because I can't finish the mission with out the file's. Got it?" OK so the last part about everyone dieing wasn't exactly true. I exaggerated it for effect. But it must have worked because without saying anything she gave me the file's. I grabbed the file's out of her hand and walked out of the NYCSA with everyone's eye's on Me.
