Loving His Assassin

Chapter 11 : I'll wait for you and maybe one day...

Edited

I placed the tray of food on his table and waited until he acknowledged me, I didn't want to disturb him and was contented to watch his arm muscles move while he was writing. I knew that I can't get attached to him, but... Watching wasn't forbidden right?

"I heard from Damon that you wanted to talk to me." he finally said while he continued to write something.

"Yes, master. I have a question, may I?" I asked politely.

"Go ahead."

"When will you give me your orders? It has been a week and I didn't do anything."

"I didn't know you were in such a hurry. Did you already spend your five billion?" he asked as he looked at me while raising an eyebrow.

"Of course not! I didn't even touch it yet." I answered feeling insulted.

"Then there's no hurry right?"

"In reality, I have a long list of clients that are waiting." I lied.

"One rule when we're at it, don't ever lie to me." he said in an angry growl.

"... My apology... Master..." I answer surprised and a bit shocked. No one ever made me fear something well except father, but this man... He was dangerous... Very dangerous I couldn't stay close to him... He made me feel too many emotions that I thought I had forgotten long ago... I had to hurry and finish these four damn quests and I was out of here.

"If you're in a hurry, your first task will start tonight. Come back tonight at 9:00 pm and don't be late."

"Understood, then please excuse me." I quickly yet quietly exited the room and closed the door without a sound.

I sighed in relief. How could only a man make me stress my life? I was feeling like a puppet and he was the puppet master... Anyway after tonight, three more to go.

"So? How did it go?" asked Damon when he saw me walking down the hall.

"Nothing special. Will have my first task tonight." I answered, but didn't stop walking.

"Good for you..."

"Oh, Damon could you tell Chris that I can't come tonight and as soon I'm free, I'm gonna see him." I asked him when I suddenly remembered it.

"And what will I have in return?"

"I'll cook whatever you want for three days."

"Make it five and we have a deal." he said after thinking for a while.

"Fine, five days. Thanks." I said with a sigh and continued to walk toward my room.

"Great! I'll be expecting it, our deal start tomorrow night!" he answered joyfully.

Actually, I never saw Damon so happy unless it was involving food. I bet he could even kill if you gave him like... Maybe 10 years of free food? When I think about it, he's actually really cute... Like a loyal dog who would do anything if you gave him some reward. I chuckled, I better not tell anyone of this or I'll be the one killed.

When I finally reached my room, I directly went for a good hot shower. Water was the only thing in my childhood that made me relax and forget about all this illegal stuff. I could pass hours in it, but unfortunately, I neither had the time nor the stupidity of doing it nor telling anyone. It could be considerate like a weakness and maybe one day someone could use that against me. When I went under the spray of hot water, I groaned in contentment and stayed under it for a few. Then started to scrub myself from head to toe. I actually got myself out of the shower after only 30 minutes and started to carefully choose my outfit. I didn't know what kind of quest he would give me, so I opted for a long sleeve T-shirt, a black comfortable jean that didn't block my movements and of course, my silenced gun, a few knives and some ammo. At the end I was dressed like always, something comfortable, dark and casual in case I have to escape, but the most important I didn't want it to block my movements. Of course, I always used the same gun. My father gave it to me before he died, it's like a very important memento for me and the knives because it could be useful for torture. I smiled at this thought. Okay maybe I was sadistic, but hey sometimes it was good to work things off.

I looked at the clock on the small table next to my bed and saw 7:15. Maybe I should go and see Chris before going to master. So, I exited my room and went toward Christian's room. It wasn't very far, in fact, it was the closest room to mine. I knocked and waited.

'Who is it?' he shouted behind the door.

I grumbled. I really didn't want to be called Nyx anymore cause it got me too close to them.

"Nyx..." I grumbled angrily that I have to use that name myself.

The door immediately opened.

"But Damon said ya'll be busy tonight."

"Well, you have 20 minutes to tell me what you have to."

"Come in?" he answered nervously.

"No that's okay. Just say it already, you acted weird for a while now." I snapped starting to get impatient.

"Didn't think I would have to say it in these conditions, but... Well, Nyx... I... Ya know I really..."

"Spit it now or I'm gone!" I said cutting him off really impatient and angry. Yeah, if you didn't know I was not patient and don't like to make people wait and vice versa.

"I... I..." he continued to hesitate and I started to turn away. "N-NO WAIT! I... I.. PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!" he shouted behind my back.

I froze and stood there in the middle of the hallway. What did he say? "PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!" That's what he really said? I sighted and turned to face him.

ÉChris..." I started, but he didn't let me finish.

"Ya don't have to answer me right know, I canunderstand, ya'reshockedrightnow, but..." he rambled nervously, but I lifted my hand to stop him.

"Let me get a few things clear. I like your company, Chris, but not in this way. When I'll have finished the four tasks that master will give me, I'll be gone and won't return here at least someone else hires me. So, I'm sorry but no" I said directly with a blank face at all time.

"Oh... Okay... Well, umm I'll let you go now..." he answered me sadly with his head down.

"Chris... I know that I made you feel like shit right now, but... I'm not the good one for you. I... I'll only hurt you if we did date... I'm sorry." I rapidly add with a sigh.

For the first time, I really felt guilty for making someone cry. I thought I didn't felt like that since my father's death. I got myself too much attached to this little group, like a family I never had... But, I couldn't do the same mistake like my father. I won't fall in love and risk all my live style.

"Sorry..." I said again and started to walk in the direction of master's room.

"W-WAIT, NYX! I... I'LL WAIT! I'M SURE ONE DAY... One day..." he weakly shouted behind me.

In answer, I just turned my head and gave him a weak smile. I was sure after a year or two, he would forget about me and move ahead. I was sure he would and I continued to walk down the hallway in the direction of my master's room.
