Can I Trust You?

Girl's Day

Kenora

Deja, Min, and I just finished braiding my hair. I looked at the time, and it was midnight. We were only halfway through Deja's hair. This is going to be a very long night. "I think I will straighten my hair for the event." Min whispered, finishing another one of Deja's butterfly locs. Deja gasped dramatically. "What?! NOOO!"
"Shhh!" Min glared at her pointing at Naomi, who was peacefully sleeping. "My bad." She muttered in response. I let out a soft giggle. "Let her straighten her hair it's okay. We can help her revive her curls, plus she'll use heat protection." I replied. "Fine, let's just finish my hair, okay?" I returned and helped Min finish off Deja's hair. We got ready for bed, and before we went to sleep, we kissed Naomi's forehead. I laid my head on the pillow and knew that for the next three days, I was not going to like this.

I woke up and went to take a shower and get ready for the day. I got out, and Deja was the only one who was still asleep. Being the best best little sister I was, I jumped onto her. She groaned and woke up. I burst out laughing, and she punched my lower stomach. I doubled over. "I hate you! Sometimes, I wish I stayed the only child." She rubbed her eyes. "I love you too, big sis." I pushed her head and ran out of the room. After I closed the door I heard something come in contact with the door. "I WON'T MISS NEXT TIME, YOU ABOMINATION!" I continued laughing. I made my way downstairs and was met by everyone else. We all greeted each other and made small talk while making breakfast. It was mine and Min's to make it. Once we finished, we plated the food. My sister joined us and helped set the table. Conversations on plans continued. We finished eating, and the boys cleared the table and washed the dishes.

"Let's go get our nails done!" My sister squealed. "Good idea! It would be a great bonding experience." Sahar lit up. "We'll be back, boys." My sister winked and grabbed the keys to the Lexus. Min and I exchanged glances. Before we could even respond, my sister had been dragging us out of the house. In the car, we got Naomi her disguise and got her comfortable. "This is going to be so fun. You will love it!" Min patted her head. "I want my nails to be pink!" She cheered.

We arrive at the nail salon, owned by an undercover agent. We walked in and told the nail technicians the nail designs we wanted and then got started. They even closed shop and did our nails privately so we can communicate freely. "So is like everyone in the room a spy?" Sahar questioned. All the ladies flashed her their tattoos and smiled. "Most of the us are in deep cover and even settle here until we get further instructions." My nail technician spoke softly. "That's so amazing. I always thought spies were fake." Sahar replied. "That's our job. To blend in so good that people don't even know we exist. It's called operating in plain sight." My sister explained. "How do you know the guys?" She asked.
"You are given a new team for every mission to eliminate the chances of growing attached and giving a person a foolish amount of trust." Min explained.
"Then how did you guys get so close?"

"That's how it is working in the field. I can trust you with my life, but not with my heart." I explained.

"So agents aren't allowed to date?" Sahar sat up. Those words echoed in my head.

"It's not recommended, but they know that they can't stop you from loving one another. Especially under certain circumstances we can find ourselves in." I replied. Why did she jump at my first response? That's odd.

"Are spies allowed to date civilians?" She gained a tint of pink on her cheeks.
"Depends on the situation. Most of the time, you can recruit a civilian if you think they can handle it. However, that is extremely rare. If you are agents like us, you never stay in a place long enough to grow attached. Deep cover agents, on the other hand, are permitted to do so as long as the people around you do not find out." Min stated.
"So is the case where you save the civilian?" Her blush deepened. Is she seriously falling for one of them. Actually, correction. She's falling for Damian. I've noticed her mannerisms before but just brushed it off. Clearly, that was my mistake. Now she's getting attached to Damian. Ha! Good luck with that.
"Let's not go there. Trust me, you do NOT want an agent. Their so, well... You're too innocent to handle their intensity." Deja dismissed. "I can handle a lot of things. Look at me now. I'm getting used to this whole running away every five minutes thing." She spoke confidently. She did not just... Did she? "We're only running away so much because of you. If you weren't here, we'd be done in no time. No offence." My sister replied. Min's eyes widened with shock from her statement. "All of it taken." She answered. My sister just shrugged and looked at her nails like they were out of this world. Sahar tried looking at Min for comfort, but all she was given was a sigh. "Unfortunately, she is being truthful with you. We work around you."

The lovely ladies finished our nails. We paid, and we were sent off. I absolutely adored my nails. Burgundy almond nails. Classic. Naomi showed off her pink nail polish. "I'm a big girl now." She replied proudly. I kissed her forehead, "All grown up now!" We got home to the boys' training. They went off to clean up, and we sat and talked. "If I ever get duck nails. Lock me up and throw the key in the ocean." My sister joked. She, as expected, got mid-length square nails that were plain nude pink with crystals at her cuticles. Min got almond French tips with a crystal at the cuticle of each nail. Sahar chose to get a nude base with chrome gold tips.

Then the boys got back down. Naomi showed off her nails. They entertained her and praised her nails. We watched a movie with her while the boys made dinner. We talked more about the mission at dinner. Obviously, Naomi and Sahar were lost and stayed out of it. After dinner, the boys washed the dishes. We all ended the night by watching another movie that Naomi requested.
