Both our Hearts

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: ANDY

"What do you have in mind?" Lydia asks both Tae and me.
"We could put a tracking device in any one of the flowers in the plane. Then we head straight for Singapore and wait for our target." I say.

"The target will lead us straight to where the flowers are being delivered, we will be sure to catch Mr. Scott and our Target." Tae finishes for me.

"M1 and M2 might not be there so we will also need to put a tracker in the plane so that the target will lead us to where M1 and M2 are." I continue
"And how will you do that, do you think the plane will not have cameras, passwords and what not. You might be seen." Lydia tells us.
 
"Who said anything about us going?" I say a smirk playing on my lips.
"Since Lewis is the only person that interacts with our target, he will have to place both the tracking devices and take a picture of our target."
"This way it won't raise any suspicions." I say and we all nod.
"We have two months until December so by the time we reach December you both should be prepared." Lydia says and we both nod in agreement.

We go home after gathering all the information we need on Jeremy Scott, the people he has been in contact with for the past year.
I bid my goodbyes to Tae and head home.

As I get out of my car, I see John's car.
I am so mad at him, I want to kick his cute ass, I want to ignore him the way he did for the past six months until it hurts. But I cannot do all that because I love him so instead, I jump into his arms and we embrace each other.
"I missed you." John says and I grin with joy.

Will comes from the left side of the car and I also hug him with joy because I missed his cool nature.
"Have I ever told you that you are the most chilled, laid-back person I have ever met." I say to Will after our long hug.
"No, this is the first time." He says smiling. "Thank you for the compliment." He continues.
We get inside and we have diner.
Will goes home and John stays.
"Why are you not going home Mr. Trouble." I ask John shocked with what he had said.

"I want to spend time with you." He simply says and I start blushing.
"Are you blushing Mrs. Merrick?" he asks and now that he has said that l cannot even look at him.
"No," I say continuing to hide my face in his chest.

After sometime he tells me what he was doing in Singapore, all about Natalie the blonde girl l had seen him with on the television, how his dad smashed his cell.
"Remember, I told you my mom left a long time ago because of the issues they were having with dad?" he questions.
"Yes, and you also told me that you were looking for your mom." I say remembering the time he told me.
"Well, I found her but she is now married with 2 daughters." He says his face blank.

"Now I don't know what to do, should l go and see her?" he asks.
"Of course, you should. I think you should." I say looking at him. He starts smiling.

"What?" I ask giggling.
"We should go together."
"No, I do not think that's a good idea." I say looking away.
"Why not. I want to show her my girlfriend." He says cupping my face in his hands making me meet his genuine clear blue eyes that drift a bit into grey making them grey-blue.
"What if she does not like me just like your dad." I ask.
"No one in their right mind will hate this beautiful soul." He says tapping my nose.

"My father is the one with the problem not you."
"So, I guess l could reconsider." I tell him and he hugs me very tight and we drift into dreamland with goofy smiles on our faces.

The next month John will not even go to his place he stays at my place, life could not be more blissful. I get to wake up every day to his face. Every time I wake up in the morning, I see him looking at me. At first it creeped me out but I got-used to him looking at me for literally no reason a smile playing on his lips.

We go to meet his mom and as he said she loves me very much which makes me think of my parents. I meet both her daughters and we get along well.
Turns out John helps Josh with his homework.

Every time I am late from work, I find a note on the fridge saying

Dinner in the microwave, love J

Most of the time I find John and Josh sleeping in Josh's room, I wake John up and we go to sleep. 
The second month goes the same way and I feel like the happiest person there ever was.
The weekends we do not go to work we go out fishing, canoeing, bird watching, movies, gaming.

Josh and John game a lot so in the end I just sit and cheer them on.
Tae comes to see me at times, John now understands that Tae is just my partner at work so he no longer goes cave-man on Tae anymore.
Work has been going great, we got all the intel we needed. All we must do now is wait on the D-day.
We had to go to Singapore two days before D-day.

I was home cooking breakfast when John walks in and stares at me as usual.
"Why do you always do that?" I ask him and he smiles before answering me.
"I do not have an idea l just find myself looking at you. Maybe because I can't take my eyes off you or maybe because l just can't believe you are with me." He says now looking down fiddling with his hands.
"I love you Andy Givens.'' He says and walks over to me and kisses my forehead and we spent a few minutes in each other's arms.

"I love you, Johnathan." I say laughing.
"How dare you." He says tickling me.
"You know how much I hate that name, take it back Givens." I continue laughing.
On the fifteenth of December John tells me that he needed to go home and l allow him because the time we spent were more than enough and I really appreciated it. And, l had work to focus on so no destructions needed.

Tae and I head for the airport to see Lewis, hand him two 2 micro hornet GPS chips (GT0) tracking devices and a pair of binocs (spyglasses) that took a picture of our target.
On the nineteenth of December Josh is taken to Lydia's house as I will not be home for the next couple of days.
Tae, back up team and I go to Singapore to wait for the D-day.
