The Assassin | Chamber x fem

Chapter 3|Part III|

I arrived to the rooftop and I sat on a bench close to the edge of the roof. The view that was wide opened in front of my eyes, was gorgeous. Anyone could see the small lights of the city and the sky that was slowly losing its light. The night was swallowing every colour of it. The starts are even easier to be spotted.

"Its a full moon tonight" I heard the voice of the guy that I was waiting for. His steps were slowly getting louder as he was coming closer. I hummed to agreement. It's really a full moon.

The music from the party under us could be heard. "Sold" by Lana Lubany was playing. One of my favourites. He sat next to me and handed me a wine glass. Then he opened the bottle and filled them. He moved his glass like a circle making the liquid inside dance like crazy and free its smell.

"Thats the second chance" I took a sip of it and I could feel him staring. I haven't even swallowed when he asked me how was it.

"So?" He asked and I swear I could see a child through his eyes. Like he was asking for an approval for his favourite thing.

I placed my finger to my chin acting like I was thinking. "Well" I took a moment and lowered my gaze to my glass "You were right" I said with a giggle.

His face painted a smile. Damn his smile. He gently took my glass off my hand. "What?" I asked all confused.

"Could you make a spin?"

"A spin?" I asked with a laugh

He nodded and I shook my head trying to figure out if he really asked that. What does he even mean? Like a 360° spin?

Without even understanding what he asked for his figure got stood up and grabbed my hand making me stand up as well. He touched my fingers with him and moved his arm up making me spin. "God you are an awful dancer" he laughed and I crossed my arms facing him.

My arms found my glass on the ground and then my lips tasted the red liquid once again.

He was laughing with his heart when he suddenly went all serious. "I was in the military too, you know" he exhaled. "Then I begun making my own guns, but until then I saw things" his voice was even slower. Like he was not here right now, but there. Then he tilted his face towards me "Have you ever lost somebody on the field?"

God why is he doing that? I nodded while I was pressing my lips together, trying to hold it together. "Who was it?" His question felt like a slap. "My husband" a tear fell down to my cheek.

He lowered his gaze and took a big sip of wine. "I am sorry for your loss" he said too early cause I didnt finish my sentence.

"I killed him" and even though my face was serious my tears were showing off my pain. He faced me once again, but this time his expression was surprised without feeling sorry for me.

He shook his head in disbelief.

"I was following orders, I didn't know it was him" my voice cracked. I wiped away some of my tears but there was no difference. They kept falling as they were making their way out.

"I am sorry for your loss" he repeated and placed my hair behind my ear.

"Who did you lose?" I asked as it was my turn

"Well my story is not that dramatic" he made me giggle and wiped my tears away as well.

Chamber's Pov

Now that I have a better look on her eyes I can notice that she got a little yellow too. Her eyelashes were wet and her mascara wiped down her cheeks., but she was still beautiful.
