Under suspicion

Chapter 5

They head around the corner and arrive at an apartment block. He takes her up the stairs to the top of the apartment block. She thinks to herself "This is alright for a criminal".

She shakes her head.. "Come on Grace be nice this guy might not be as bad as he seems."

He smiles at her and closes the door. "Wait here." She nods and looks around at the place.

There is a nice white sofa and flat screen TV. She looks at the window and sees an amazing view. She slides the door across and goes onto the balcony.

She sighs deeply "Wow what a beautiful view." "It is isn't it?" She turns around to see him behind her.

He must have been staring at her for a few minutes. "Um, how long have you been standing there?" She says nervously. He shrugs "Long enough".

He gives her a red top with diamond holes in the sleeves and black trousers. "These should be a perfect fit for you, you can change in there". He points to the bathroom."

"Thanks". She smiles at him and heads for the bathroom. She quickly changes and looks in the mirror. She realizes the clothes are a perfect fit.

She comes out the bathroom and he turns around from looking outside on the balcony and wolf whistles at her "Nice!" He grins.

She sees him staring at her. "What?!" He puts a smile on his face but then the smile quickly disappears into a sad expression. "Nothing... It's just those clothes mean something to me".

She smiles "They do?". He nods in reply. "The clothes belonged to someone I loved dearly."

She touches his shoulder gently. "I understand."

He looks at her "You're not curious?." She nods "I am but it's your own personal business, I don't want to pry."

She adds "You'll tell me when your ready." He nods like he accepts what she is saying. "Thank you that means a lot. "

She moves to leave. "Wait where are you going?. He grabs her hand. "I should go George, I don't want to outstay my welcome. She smiles "I'm sure you have other things to do."

She grabs her things and tries to pull away but George pulls her closer to him and they are now face to face. He brushes her hair out of her eyes. "It's fine, stay please."

He places his hand on her check. She stutters "Are you..." He shushes her and places a finger on her lips. "Of course I'm sure." He grins at her.

Before she can speak he kisses her passionately and Grace drops her things in surprise. He takes her by the hand into the bedroom.

He helps take of her clothes and pushes her on the bed. He takes off his own and lifts her up so that her head is lying on the pillow.

They continue kissing passionately. Grace breaks away for a second "What are we doing?" She smiles. He chuckles "What does it look like we are doing?". She sighs "This is crazy I just met you!"

He smiles "Makes it all the more romantic don't you think?".

He strokes her hair. "Just relax okay?".

She nods. "I'll be right back I need to visit the bathroom."

He nods at her and moves out her way. "Of course, go ahead."

She grabs her bag from the main living room and heads into the bathroom. She locks the door and unzips her bag.

She hides the ear piece from her ear in the bag. She finds the phone she was given earlier from her old clothes that are in the bag.

She checks to see if it still works and is still on. She sighs in relief, it still works!. She looks in the mirror "Am I too close to this? She keeps thinking to herself "Should I ring them and ask to pull out of this?".

She decides to text Jason.
"I can't do this! He wants to sleep with me...What do I do?".
He texts back in reply "You should do it.!"

She sighs and texts him back "I can't! For gods sake I just met the guy.. It doesn't help that I know who he is and this whole thing you asked me to do." "I just can't he seems like a nice guy it feels as if I'm betraying him."

She waits patiently for a reply and a few minutes later a reply comes through.

"The boss wants you to do this but if you feel you need to pull out we understand, We will have to get him another way."

"Great.." She mutters to herself. "Thanks for being a help not! If I don't do this I'll feel bad, but if I do..do this I'll feel worse".

She sighs and Texts back "Okay, I hope I don't regret this.

She puts away her phone into the bag and flushes the toilet so she doesn't raise his suspicions. She quickly tidies herself up and leaves the bathroom.

He smiles at her "Are you ready now?".

She smiles back and puts her stuff back in the living room. She comes back into the bedroom with a smile, "Are you kidding?! I was born ready."

He grins as she climbs into bed with him.
