Rose's Promise (One Direction/Nikita Crossover)

Chapter Forty-Six: Photograph

Third Person

4 days later...

For the 4 days, Celia-Rose Cooper staid home with her boyfriend Harry Styles. They were doing the same they were doing in their dating debuts: watching movies, cuddling, cooking togheter...

But this time, a thing was added: they were being intimate with eachother.

When she was making love, Rose felt like another person. All of her problems disappeared. No Division, no Nikita, no complicated assassin things. Only her and Harry, connected. She felt beautiful. She felt alive. She enjoyed every moment of it. Each time was better than the last time.

Unfortunately, she knew Harry had to go back to London to speak with his management about the next tour who was starting really soon. She knew Harry would have to leave in the morning.

The couple were laying in bed, facing eachother, enjoying eachother's presence.

"I don't want you to leave.", she whispered to him, playing in his brown curls.

"I know, but it's already a miracle if the management let me go here and see you.", he whispered back.

"Give me a gun, they'll let you see me more often."

Harry laughed, not doubting that his girlfriend was actually half-kidding.

He caressed her face: "I'd like to tell the whole world that you're mine."

"NO!!"

Harry jumped back.

The brunette cleared her throat: "I mean... no. I don't want crazy girls to try to go into my apartment and do a murder attempt on me because I'm dating you. It's already a miracle no one caught pics of us togheter until now. I really prefer when we see eachother in secret. One day maybe... but not now."

By 'one day' she meant 'never'.

"I'm sad to know when I'll wake up, you'll be already gone.", she looked down.

"So let's enjoy every moment we got left togheter."

Harry started to kiss down her neck, while Rose took his shirt off.

Nikita was drinking coffee to keep her awake. Her fingers tapping at the speed on light on the computer to locate Kasim Tariq, a terrorist who, 14 years ago, exploded Michael's car, thus killing his wife Elizabeth and his 4 years old daughter Hayley on the spot.

Last time Tariq has been seen by Division, was in Russia, 3 years ago. Nikita didn't have a lot of time, and she hoped Michael would be patient with her. It has already been 4 days.

"So..."

Nikita gasped, turning around, to find Michael staring at her.

"You found him?"

"Ever heard about knocking? You know, when you make your knuckles come in contact with the door to show your presence in a polite way??", Nikita said sarcastically, still startled.

"I don't have a lot of time, Nikita..."

"Well sorry, it's not like if there wasn't 7 billions people on earth! Last time Kasim was seen was in Russia 3 years ago, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack!"

"I have an agent in danger, Nikita. The sooner you find Tariq, the sooner you'll get rid of me, and you and Cooper will be safe."

Nikita turned around at Michael: "You sure have some guts! Since when you're dirty like Percy?"
