Enemies On The Mission [b.barnes]

Part 27 - Love till death

Marcella's POV

As we're laying there I can't stop thinking about my feelings for him.

I love him.

I love James Buchanan Barnes.

I've never been in love with anyone before and it's scary. Especially because I have no clue what James's feelings are towards me. Maybe I'm just just a way to pass the time for him.

But he told me he's mine and I'm his.

What does that even mean for him? I hope it means he's not going to leave me. I hope it means we have eachother for as long as we are both breathing. I hope it means I can continue waking up beside him every morning and falling asleep beside him every night.

I hope it means he loves me too.

"What's wrong doll?" James whispers pulling me from my thoughts, he leaves a gentle kiss on my neck.

"Hm?"

"I can practically hear your brain working. What are you thinking about?" He asks.

"It's nothing," I say biting my lip.

"Don't do that baby. Don't lie to me, you know you can tell me anything," he says.

I bite my lip nervously before I talk. "What happens after all this is over James? When the mission is done," I ask.

He stays quiet for a moment, the only thing I can hear is our faint breaths. "You want to know what I hope happens?" He says after a while.

I nod and hug his arm tighter.

"I hope you'll stick with me, I hope you won't leave me. I want to spend every moment I have with you," he says. My heart beat speeds up and I can't bring myself to say anything. "My heart belongs to you Marcella. Even if you don't want it, it'll be yours forever," James says.

This is the most vulnerable I've ever seen him. He's opening up to me. Admitting his feelings, hoping I won't break them.

"You mean it?" I whisper slightly in shock, I can bearly hear my voice through the thumb of my heartbeat ringing in my ears.

Suddenly a loud alarm goes off cutting off any thoughts. I think it might be in my imagination for a minute before James quickly sits up, I follow after him.

I notice the TV in the corner of room turn on. It flashes white a few times before the houses CCTV comes on the screen.

There's soldiers outside the house, masses of them hop out of vans kitted with guns.

It's Georges men.

The Silencer has found us.

"Shit!" James shouts he gets off the bed and runs to his bag. I get up us to and run to him. He pulls out my clothes and hands them to me, I take them and put them on as quick as I can while he puts on his.

He takes out two guns and gives me one and I grab a knife too. I hear the front door being knocked down and look to James.

"Marcella. You need to get out of here, go through the window and run, I'll stay here and keep them back for a little while," he says holding my face in urgency.

I shove him off of me, "Are you fucking crazy?" I whisper shout. "You'll die James. I'm staying with you."

"I can't loose you too Marcella," he says. "I can't," he whispers.

"We either both go or we both stay James. I'm not loosing you either," I say angrily.

I hear footsteps running through the house and they're getting closer. "God damn it," James shouts slamming his fist on the wall.
