Between the Dead

Chp.6 Love at first sight

"What the fuck!? You were shot?" Denisse questioned with wide eyes analyzing Arianna's body to see if she was shot anywhere. "No! Listen further." Arianna told.

"Aah, fuck!" One of the men groaned in pain. Being shot on his knee, made it difficult for him to stand and so he fell on the ground. Just after him falling, Arianna stood up. "Not that easy. I am a spy for a reason boy." She smirked while she threw a throwing knife at the other man who was about to attack, aiming his lower abdomen.

Poor guy, failed to dodge it.

Tarek sighed in relief. This did not go unnoticed by Arianna. "And you, GO! Get the chip. I'll handle these two." She told. Tarek simply nodded and did as she said.

"You know me?" Tarek asked Arianna. Arianna, who was making sure the two men were dead by repeatedly stabbing their souls out, shook her head.

It was a bit difficult to communicate with two of the males screaming their lungs out and crying.

"You sho- damn shut it!" Tarek yelled and shot the last breathing man multiple times until his screams fell shut. "Yeah so where were we? Ah right, so, you shouldn't trust me. What if I am one of them?" Tarek raised a brow at the woman who just stared at him blankly.

"Then I'd suggest you to give me the chip. If, you wanna make it alive." She said boldly, placing her hands on her waist.

"Well then I must call myself lucky, I am on your side." Tarek replied, closing upto her. "That's good! Now, hand it over." Arianna commanded in a threatening voice.

Let him be on her side or not, she could not trust him at the moment. Additionally, she could not waste time here, there was other shit to handle too.

Tarek handed the chip to her. He then said, "Now, let's go back, shall we?" He asked, in a flirtatious tone. Arianna was in no mood to entertain him.

"Who are you though?" She asked. He was acting too friendly. And the fact that Arianna had no idea of his identity, did not help her to doubt him less.

"Tarek Feuer. I'm surprised you don't know me." Tarek smiled. Right now, they were standing just a few centimeters away from each other.

When realization of the closeness hit Arianna she stepped back. "Wait Tare-Oh! So you are the boss's son who never stepped out of his room." She said. "Kinda, but you ain't entirely correct." Tarek nodded.

Arianna eyed him down once again, not understanding his intentions. "Anyways, let's return now." She said and turned her back, ready to jog back to the mansion. Tarek hummed in response.

They jogged and made their way back to the mansion.

Flashback ends....

Though Arianna looked serious, many thoughts were running round her mind. Some were deluded while some were doubts. 'Damn it Arianna. Shut it and focus. He looks cool thou-Oh fuck! Shut it.' She cursed herself. She wasn't in love or anything, but she really was impressed.

Tarek too was in a whole different world. Was he in love? Fuck love, he was feeling something he couldn't explain, not even to himself. If it was the original Tarek that moment, he would have been competent like always. Would have snatched the chip even if she was on his side, and returned it to the mafia himself, not trusting her.

But something inside him, deep down, told him to trust her. To keep up with her. Mostly, admire her. He fell for her physical features at the first glance. But now that he was observing her more, he was discovering many more lovable qualities of her.
