Once we took off in the helicopter after about thirty minutes, we landed in an open field surrounded by nothing but trees and a small jet. We quickly unloaded our bags and headed to the jet, it was about a 5 hour and 35 minute flight to where we would be staying for god knows how long. The plane had landed in a small airport in Durango Colorado, the mountains surrounding the airport were covered in snow, as soon as we had walked out of the nice warm jet the cold air hit me like a brick. You could see your own breath, not to mention the clouds above us were dark and heavy it was clear to say it would be raining in town and most likely snowing up at the cabin. It was about 7:05 pm when we landed and the sun had started to set. "So what now?" I asked confused on what to do or where to go. "Not sure, let's head inside the airport and get a cab or something" he sounded just as annoyed as I was. I mean I hope he has the address because I don't. Once we headed inside much to our surprise there was a woman standing next to the entrance and exit doors holding a sign with our codenames on it. I felt a wave of relief hit me as she lead us to the black suv waiting for us. It was a quiet ride definitely a long one. I'd say we were about three hours away from town. I mean I assumed it was a secluded area but damn. We had soon arrived to a beautiful sight. A small yet cozy looking log cabin covered in snow, thick beautiful green woods behind the small tan colored house, along side it was a big lake. The lights were on inside and smoke was coming out of the chimney. Thank god hopefully it's warm in there. "Wow! it looks like a hallmark movie" I giggled at my own comment admiring the view. The driver Ashley I believe was her name giggled also at my comment, "yeah it's beautiful to look at, though it's a bitch to live in I hope you two are okay with cuddling because the only source of heat is that small fireplace in the living room" she laughed and exited the car and grabbing our bags out of the trunk. My cheeks flushed red at the thought of being curled up and held tightly by my Lieutenant. The door to my left then suddenly opened and Ghost walked out, then my door opened and I did the same, the cold air once again hitting me hard. "Okay so, you're bags are inside and underneath this welcome mat is a extra pair of keys to the Cabin, inside on the kitchen counter are two more keys one for each of you and a pair of car keys, inside the garage is a small fiat 500, not a big car but it will work, there is an emergency phone and a laptop computer in the bedroom for your work, obviously there is no Wi-Fi and shit signal so more than likely your phones won't work hence the emergency phone. You have enough food to last two months though every two weeks you'll get a restock waiting for you to pick up in town I'll call you for the location info, nobody knows where you two are besides me and Your captain for safety reasons, and there is more fire wood in the basement, trust me you'll need it there is a storm coming tomorrow so good luck, any questions?" I had no questions honestly I just wanted to shower, sleep and forget all of this. "Yeah, one question how long are we going to be here?" Ghost spoke his accent thick, sounding like music to my ears. Ashley gave a sad look almost remorseful. "I'm not sure but if I had to say, about six or so months you'll have to ask Price" I expected as much, honestly I'm not surprised anymore I just hope we get to know each other better and it won't be the most awkward six months of my life. After we said our goodbyes to Ashley we headed inside. It was warm yet you could feel a hint of cold lingering in the air,it was very cozy inside to the right of the front door was a set of stairs that lead to what I'd assume to be the basement, straight ahead was a small yet cozy living room with a small tv hung above the fire place which was built into the wall. To the left of the living room was a ranch style kitchen and pantry and a small room to the left of the kitchen, inside was a bathroom, I then quickly took notice to the keys Ashley had mentioned on the counter, once we stood in the living room I also noticed the staircase to the right of the room leading to the loft bedroom and without thought I grabbed my bags and started walking up the stairs to see my worst nightmare come true, one giant bed in the middle of the room, beside the bed on both sides were small tables with lamps, on the left side was the laptop and on the right was the emergency phone on the wall. I also noticed that the only bathroom was downstairs. I dropped my bags and face-planted in the bed releasing a loud sigh. "Well, I guess this is a slight problem" I quickly sat up slightly startled at the suddenness of his presence. "Yeah, but no worries I'll sleep on the couch or something" I shyly smiled "no worries, I don't mind could use the extra warmth anyway" he chuckled, HE LAUGHED?! Oh my goodness I wish he did that more often. "I don't know about you but I'm Fucking tired so we will read up about the case tomorrow morning" I nodded in agreement, I'm so jet lagged. "Im going to take a shower, so I'll be back in a bit" I smiled at him and grabbed a towel some pj's and walked back downstairs locking the doors and windows and turning off all the lights, then headed to the shower. After a good twenty minutes I dried off and changed into my green and black plaid pajama pants and a black sweater. I quickly brushed my hair trying my best to dry it with my towel, my heart started racing with questions and scenarios about what's going to happen upstairs. Dose he sleep with the balaclava off? What about his shirt? No he wouldn't it's freezing!, what If I accidentally cuddle him in my sleep? DO I SNORE?...DOSE HE SNORE?! Oh god why am I so nervous. No time for worrying, there is only one way to find out. I took a deep breath and walked out and headed upstairs, once I arrived I saw Ghost had the bedside lamp on he was on the right side of the bed, sadly he had his balaclava still on and his phone in hand, he was wearing a brown hoodie and what looked like grey sweatpants, GOD NOT THE GREY SWEATPANTS!! I stood there a little too long admiring him once I noticed he was looking back at me. "See something you like sweetheart?" My cheeks flushed red at the comment "N-no well yes but no I was just looking at the wall" I laughed trying my best to hide my nervousness. "Well are you coming to bed or are you just going to stand there and watch the wall?" I quickly then slid into bed trying my best not to face him or I'd burst of embarrassment right there. "Well goodnight Ghost" "please, call me Simon we're going to be here awhile so might as well get to know each-other" I smiled at the permission to use his name. "Well then do the same for me, goodnight Simon" "goodnight Y'n"
3:02 am
I was suddenly awoken by the feeling of arms wrapping around my waist, my heart felt like it was beating a hundred miles an hour. I could feel his head resting on mine, his muffled breath tickling my neck, damn I wish that mask wasn't on. Do I wake him up? No of course I don't am I crazy!. I swiftly turned around so we we're hugging gently wrapping my hands around his head and softly nuzzled my head into the crook of his neck, his grip on my waist tighten. God I could get used to this. I wonder if he knows what he's doing, I wonder if we will still be like this in the morning. Thoughts swimming in my mind as I slowly drifted off to sleep, safe and warm in the arms of my colleague. This is going to be the best sleep of my life.
