Undercover Love

Chapter 11

I woke up at around 2 AM to feel Agent White sneaking his arms around my waist. Instead of feeling frustrated like last time. I felt numb, like I couldn't feel anything, except a slight flutter in my stomach when Agent White rested his head on my shoulder. I few minutes later I spoke up, "Hey Agent White?" I felt his arms slightly get tighter, then relax when he realized I wasn't going to threaten him with a pillow this time. Snuggling a bit closer he answered with a "Hmm?" 

"Have you ever been scared?" At this time I turned and looked at him, our faces inches apart as he opened his eyes and frowned slightly "Of what?". I looked away and sighed "Well, you grew up with both your parents in a dangerous business" 

"Are you asking if I was afraid for them or me?"

"Both, my dad had to keep me inside and under wraps for years until I turned 18, you know because..."

"...there was always a fear that you would be kidnapped or worse?"

"Yeah"

"I don't know, my dad always made sure I knew who I was, the son of a person that had a lot of power in one of the most dangerous businesses"

"Yes, but did you ever get threatened before, at least that you know of?"

"Plenty of times, but if your talking about when I was little. Yes, I was kidnapped at 6 when dad didn't pay someone"

"How'd you get back? Did your dad pay them or something?"

"Oh no, my dad had already trained me for this"

"At 6 years old?"

"Hey, I was the son of one of the most dangerous men in the country, of course he did"

"Soooo...what, did you do the old trick of puffing yourself up?"

"Nope, they were to smart for that, instead I uh...didn't give them a chance to tie me up"

"What did you do?"

"Uh...kicked them..."

"Where....ohhhhh, thats brutal"

"Well it was brutal to kidnap me soooo, they deserved it"

"Did you ever feel safe with anyone?"

By now we were both just staring at the ceiling, and at this question, Agent White turned to look at me, just as I did the same. "My mother I suppose... why, do you have that person in your life?" In response I just stared at him, then shrugged "I don't know" At this Agent White got onto a elbow and leaned over me a bit. "But you do know, I know a lie when I hear one" He said, a smug smile on his lips. I sighed and pushed him back, immediately feeling cold. "Why can't you just be the dumb male partner like in movies?" Agent White immediately burst out laughing "Hey! Besides, I can fit the funny part, but I'm way smarter than I first appear" 

"As I've unfortunately found out"

"Hey! Wait...are you trying to cover up that you secretly like me?"

Agent White squinted at me, trying to act seriously, but a smile broke out across his face as I just flopped to my other side, not wanting to answer his question. Agent White wasn't about to let go though and snuggled up even closer to me, fully aware that I was plenty strong enough to turn right around and push him out of bed. "Oh come on Agent Black, it's a simple question!" He whined, resting his chin on my shoulder like an annoying kid. When I still didn't answer, he spoke up again "Fine, you don't want to answer the question. But can you at least say if you like me more that you did when we met?". I tried pretending to already to be asleep, but I could feel Agent White's eyes boring into me from the back, and finally sighed and half turned "Fine, since you won't leave me alone until I tell you, I..." I paused, searching for the right answer without revealing anything "I guess you're not as annoying as when I first met you". I don't know if Agent White meant for me to hear, but after I said that, I heard a whispered "Yes!" to which I had to smile, chuckling to myself. "Goodnight Agent White"

 "Goodnight...is it Lily?" 

"Nope"

"Dang it!"
