Good guys

Chapter 2

"Looking for something?", I turned around, looking at him hanging from the ceiling, a knife in front of my face.

"A reason not to kill you maybe?"

"Found one?"

"No."

"Well, then"., he jumped down and attacked me. He was smaller than me, and faster, I had almost no chance to catch him, we chased each other through the whole apartment, throwing things to stop the other, but he made a small mistake, and I took my chance to catch him.

"You practiced?"

"No, but you got older."

"You were lucky."

"Oh, yeah.", I kicked his legs away and brought him to the ground.

I pressed his hands on the floor sitting on his legs, to stop him from moving.

"We had the same training you idiot."

"But I was better than you.", he grinned and looked into my eyes.

"What happened to us?", I whispered a bit sentimental.

"I don't know. We were so good together."

"Maybe you shouldn't have slept with my sister?"

"And you shouldn't have slept with my brother."

"At least I didn't use other people's siblings for revenge.

"What if we sleep together now?"

"It would be a mistake."

"We both made some, let's make another one.", he crashed his lips into mine.

We made out passionately, forgetting for a moment what happened between us, he kissed my neck, and I pulled his hair, he laid on me, I wrapped my legs around his waist.

"I can't believe it, you still have feelings for me!", he stopped

"Just like you."

"I tricked you."

"Your body says something else."

He just smiled at me and got up, leaving me on the floor.

"Get lost before I change my mind.", he grinned.

I knew it wasn't over, we still loved each other, nothing changed, besides the fact we tried to kill each other. I went home, he was even more attractive now, when he was fighting, although it was against me. I wished we could go back to the beginning, when everything started. I woke up the next morning, believing we wouldn't fight again, but also this was the only time I saw him. Suddenly my bowl shattered into thousand pieces, covering me with milk and cereals.

"Hello bastard.", Ashton smiled.

"I can't even eat my breakfast in peace?"

"No."

"How the f*ck did you came in here?!"

"There's still a gigantic hole in your roof."

"Thanks to you. What do you want?"

"Can't I visit my ex?"

"Without killing me?"

"I was curious, maybe I'll kill you after, depending on your answer....are you single?"

"Yeah, why? Did no one want to f*ck an asshole like you?"

"Apparently, you were the only asshole who did. But I see no one wanted an asshole like you too."

"You did. But why do you want to know that? Thought it's over?"

"That I can do this, without feeling guilty.", he pushed me against the fridge, kissing me even more passionate than yesterday.

"You're an assassin, thought guilt is unknown to you."

"This is different."

He kissed my neck and soon put his hands under my shirt, his fingertips on my skin, his breath on my neck, I missed this so much.

"You still can come back to the agency, it's not too late."

"It's better this way. And now shut up.", he closed my mouth with his lips.

"What are you doing?"

"You're dirty, take those off."

"You massacred my breakfast, remember?"

"Do you say I did that on purpose?"

"Did you?"

"Maybe.", he smiled.

We continued for a few minutes, but suddenly I felt something cold on my skin, I grabbed his neck and slammed him on the counter, punching the knife out of his hand.

"You pathetic little bastard."

"You're smarter than I remember."

"And I almost gave in, but you made a mistake, you didn't push it in fast enough, you are sentimental, you idiot."

"I like it when you're angry, it's hot."

"Don't try to seduce me. Get out of my apartment, now!"

"See you soon, bastard.", he grinned.

I cleaned up and went to the agency, checking for any new jobs.

"What's up, Carolina? Got anything new?"

"There's a mission you could do if you want? You have to protect a witness, secretly of course, maybe even take care of the perpetrator."

"Sure thing, when?"

"She's here in two days, you have to take over when she arrives."

"Okay, got it. You send me the dates later, right?"

"As always."

"Anything else?"

"No...heard you met your ex?"

"Sadly, yes."

"Don't lie to me, you both are so in love."

"We're trying to kill each other."

"Yeah, but you are both very passionate, in your job and private, it's a game for both of you. A dirty and disturbing game."

"Just shut up, I don't love him anymore."

"That's why you're nervous, right?"

"I'm not nervous."

"You're horny. You're just waiting for him to come back, to play another round."

"No! He tried to stab me!"

"And you dirty minded pervert like it."

"I have to go."

"Sure.", she laughed at her computer.

I went back home to check the dates, when this woman should arrive, I loved that job, it's like being the hero in a spy movie, except that it's real, and real lives are the prize if you fail. I planned how to protect her and follow her secretly, it required a lot of precise planning, and no distractions....
