spy school - operation creeping spider

Chapter 10 - Suprise?

Ben POV

Today, I just had the most impossible thing that I might've done.                                                                   

I kissed Erica hale.

I had done it to reassure Erica that I would never betray her.

As soon as Erica left, Mike came in, He wore a green polo shirt with khaki shirts. He looked like he had heard something very good and was smug with a smile.

"BEN!" Mike exclaimed with excitement

 "What?"

"Did you just do what I think you did?" Mike exclaimed with excitement

Then Zoe walked in, She was wearing a yellow top with dark green pants, she also was smug.

"Ya mean we?" Zoe said

"Yes, we," Mike said

"what do you think what I did?" I said trying to look confused.

"You kissed Erica." Both of them said in Union.

"No, I didn't," I said still not wanting to seem suspicious, but I think that failed.

"Yes you did, We heard it and we saw it." 

"wait you heard i- YOU SAW IT???" I exclaimed, I didn't know they saw it and I was angry as a chihuahua they eavesdropped on me and Erica.

"We saw it through peeping through the keyhole," Mike said.

"And why'd you do that?"

"We're spies, it's our job to do things," Zoe said quoting Cyrus's famous words.

"Please don't give me that crap," I said being annoyed "And if you tell this to anyone else, even Cyrus or Catherine, I will personally order a CIA hitman on you guys." I was exaggerating this, but if they did I'd certainly do something to them.

"Ok.." they both said in Unison and then they exited the room, I could hear giggling and snickering while they exited, I decided to shower since I was drenched in sweat because of the worry of loosing Erica again and well, Indian climate.

Erica POV

I couldn't believe that Ben had kissed me, though I wanted a kiss from him for a long long time, I'd never expect him to do it. Inside I was kind of screeching with happiness while in the outside I was Cold and dull as ever.

The ''party for fun'' would be on June 16th, right on Ben's birthday, so I decided I'd do something special for him (No pg 18 stuff guys(no actually, its not planned for the book)

I walked into the kitchenette and grabbed some salad from the refrigerator and started eating it, when Zoe walked In.

"Hi" Zoe said

"whaddaya need?"

"Girl talk"

"But why?"

"because why not?"

"No"

"Please

"Fine, what d'you need to talk about?"

"Boys"

"Not this again...."

We had talked about boys all the way back when we were in a mission in vail, I almost confessed my feelings for Ben the time, so I decided this time I'd drop her guard.

"You like Mike don't you?" I asked as if I know this very well, I actually didn't I had no idea whatsoever if Zoe liked Mike.

"Wha-no I don't like him" I could see Zoe being red, I think she felt embarrassed.

"You do"

"No I don't"

"You really do"

"Fine, I do"

"I knew it" I lied, I really didn't know Zoe liked Mike that much.

"Now let's talk about you and Ben..." Zoe said excitedly, "I saw you two kissing"

"WHAT!?" I exclaimed, I didn't know Zoe was eavesdropping when me and Ben were having a talk.

"Mike knows it too." 

"HE TOO?"

"Don't worry we didn't tell to anyone else and plus, Ben told us if we told anyone, He'd personally order a CIA hitman on us" Zoe laughed, To be honest I think I laughed or snickered too.

"Okay, but if you told anyone without me and Ben's permission I will Personally come to your dorm and murder." I told coldly just to scare her, Zoe looked like as she had been told that mike and ben died.

Then I left the hotel room to get some air just as I finished eating my salad, it was okay at best and then I saw a man in a black suit...

Aakash Aravind.

He was right in front of the hotel, I immediately took my Walkie talkie from my utility belt and called the others

"AA in front of the hotel. Erica. over"

"Who's AA. Zoe. over"

"AA's Aashish Aravind. Erica. Out

"Ok, Establishing a survey point in the terrace of the hotel. Mike. Out"

"Establishing a survey point in the hotel windows. Ben. Over"

"Rushing to the Hotel front. Zoe. Out"

I rushed over to the hotel entrance hoping to hide somewhere the tourists wont notice, I saw a desk with a little hole for some reason, I ducked under it and looked through the peephole, Zoe was standing near another desk.

Aakash Aravind had entered the hotel, he was walking to the woman in another desk besides Zoe's one.

"I want to make a appointment for the entire ballroom for 8 hours for a party, I'll pay a lakh and sixty thousand rupees, is that ok?" Aakash asked

"Yes sir, Just talk to our manager, I will call him right now." The hotel staff behind the desk responded to Aakash.

I didn't know what in the hell was a lak, but I did know something...

"I know Aakash's plan. Erica. Out"...

Ya already know what it is...
