Two sides of the same coin - Armando Aretas x OC

Finally!!

The tension from the gala lingered thick in the air as Armando, Inessa, and Mike rode silently in the car on their way back home. Armando gripped the steering wheel tightly, his jaw clenched, while Inessa stared out the window, her expression unreadable.

As they arrived at Mike's house, Inessa was the first out of the car, as she headed towards the entrance. Inside, Inessa walked with purpose, her footsteps echoing in the quiet hallway.

She glanced back briefly, as her eyes met Armandos. Without a word, she continued walking away. Armando watched her go, his thoughts racing, but he said nothing.

He exchanged a glance with Mike, who just nodded back at his son. Armando hesitated for a moment before following her, his footsteps quickening as he reached the door of the bathroom.

He knocked, then pushed it open without waiting for a response. Inessa turned from the mirror where she was unzipping her dress, her eyes meeting his in the reflection.

The two just stood there for a moment not saying anything as they stared at one another.

"I want to apologise, but I can't" Armando said firmly, his voice tinged with frustration, but a slight sadness.

Inessa sighed, setting her jaw as she turned to face him fully. "Look Armando, I'll apologise if that's what you need. I'm sorry making a decision on my own and betraying the team's trust," she replied evenly, her tone clipped.

"Tu no entiendes, its not that you betrayed the teams trust, its that you went and did something stupid that could've got you killed" (You dont understand ) Armando insisted, stepping closer to her.

Inessa met his gaze, huffing, "I dont understand you. First your mad at me first because Im selfish for putting the team at risk. But now Its because I could've died. Don't you think I know that, we all know that before any mission." she countered, confused and frustrated trying to grapple with what Armando was saying.

"Yes, but you put yourself in unnecessary harms way to what, get revenge" Armando shot back, his voice rising slightly.

"So what, you can be a convicted murderer, an assasin for a Mexican cartel, literally kill the Capitan of the Miami PD and be forgiven. But what I did is inexcusable" she yelled at him, truly struggling to comprehend what he was saying.

"ay dios mío, I dont care about that, I care about you, you could've have died." Armando yelled, his words echoed in the confined space of the room, emphasised by the space narrowing between them.

"What" Inessa just said confused as she looked up at him, the space between them increasingly getting smaller.

"Para alguien que actúa tan inteligente, puedes ser un poco tonto." (for someone who acts so smart, you can be a little dense) he huffed out in a slightly quieter tone as she smirked.

"Now is really not the time to be throwing around insults" Inessa paused as she placed a hand over her head rubbing it in both confusion and frustration.

"I understand what you did more than anyone Inessa." He stood closer to her, barely any space separating them, as she was gently pushed onto the sink. The two mirrored the positioned they were in the other night, though very different emotions were present.

"It doesn't mean I want to see you die," he breathed out as he stepped in between her legs.

"y por qué no" (and why not) she whispered out as she nodded her chin up towards him, the two not breaking eye contact at all.

"Come on, sabes por qué" (you know why) he responded lowering his head as the both of them just smirked.

The two reached each others lips without making contact, neither one wanting to be the first to give in, "No estoy segura de hacerlo" (im not sure I do) she whispered so quietly he wouldn't have been able to hear if he hadn't felt her breath on his lips.

"Really" he smirked before making the final step, his lips meeting hers, in a kiss filled with longing and need. The two not breaking away as Inessa reached her hands up, running one through his hair and the other rapping around his neck, gripping at the base of his head.

Armando's hand slinked behind to her back, tracing the empty space, the dress failed to cover. As he ran his fingers down her spine to where the zipper of her dress was. "What are you doing" she asked flustered as they broke apart from their kiss, "acabando de terminar lo que estabas haciendo" (just finishing what you were doing).

Without another word he pulled her back into the kiss, unzipping her dress. As he reached the bottom of the zipper and picked her off up from the sink. She found her footing on the floor as they broke apart from the kiss.

She didn't say a word, just staring into his eyes, as she peeled the dress off of her. She made her way to shower turning the tap on as the running water was the only sound that remained in the room.

The two just stared at one another, never breaking eye contact, as she walked back towards him and pulled him by the neck into another kiss.

As they continued their passionate kiss, struggling to be any closer to one another, Inessa pulled his jacket off. As he unbuttoned his shirt, Inessa reached down and undid his pants button and zipper.

The two were so engulfed in one another, refusing to seperate the lips at any cost.

Armandos hand ran across her cheek as he held her jaw, the other running down her leg, picking her up, her legs wrapping around him as he led her towards the shower.
