To Die For

Chapter Ten

An hour later, they pulled Skye out of the car by the collar of her jacket and shoved her inside. They marched her up the steps of the Hydra base and threw open a door. There stood Ward, He was waiting for her. She couldn't help but feel tingles throughout her body when she saw him. But she hid it with frustration. The agents threw her bag at her feet and let go of her jacket. Then they took off her hand cuffs but kept the gloves on. They nodded towards their leader, Ward, and slammed the door shut, leaving Skye and Ward alone. They stood in silence for a time. Skye folded her hands and glared at him.
"Really?" She said, breaking the silence. "You went through all this trouble of kidnapping me, just to see me."
"I had to Skye," Ward replied. "You weren't answering my texts or calls."
"Well do you think I had a reason for it?!" Skye yelled her voice getting higher. "It's not like I would ignore you on purpose!"
"You told me to love you so that's what I'm doing!" Ward defended.
"Oh yeah?!" Skye asked, losing it. "Well loving someone isn't pointing six guns at them, throwing them in the car, handcuffing them, shoving them in a room, and these STUPID GLOVES!" Skye yelled and tried to rip them off her hands.
She started scratching at the gloves and waving them in the air. She smashed them into a wall, only to feel more pain in her hands and arms. She kept waving them and pulling at them.
"Skye," Ward said trying to get her to stop. "Skye!"
He grabbed her hands and held them tightly so she would stop moving them. Then he slowly took them off and peered down at her. Skye loved the way her hands felt when he touched them. She looked up at him and didn't look away.
"I'm sorry," she said. "I shouldn't have yelled at you. I've missed you so much."
Ward smiled and drew her into a warm hug. They released from their embrace and she smiled up at him
"I can't believe you kidnapped me" she said as she let out a laugh
"Hey I had to do something" he answered
"Lesson learned, don't ignore Romeo's texts." She said sarcastically "but seriously Ward I have to get back, Coulson's gonna freak if I don't get back soon" she pointed out
"Okay, I'll let you go but only if you give me a goodbye kiss" he answered
"Ugh Ward you are so cheesy sometimes" she stated
"I'm waiting" he said, then he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer, he cupped her face with his rough bloodstained hands and kissed her, she didn't reject the tender kiss and kissed him back lovingly before pulling back "Okay.. Now can you let me go?"
"Fine," Ward replied sadly.
"Wait," Skye said as she looked down at his hands she was holding. "Why are you're hands all bloody?"
Ward sighed, clearly embarrassed.
"Ward," Skye said. "What's going on?"
"Well two of my men got drunk and in a fight," Ward explained. "I got in between them but one of them cut my arm open. I tried to clean it up and all the blood got on my hands.
"Well is it clean now?" Skye asked.
"Not really" Ward replied.
Skye sighed.
"Ward! It could get infected. Especially in this dirty Hydra base. Let me see it."
Ward pulled up his sleeve to reveal a deep scar.
Skye sighed when she saw it. She looked at him.
"And you like these people?"
"I don't like them," Ward replied. "I just sort of backed myself into a corner."
Skye sighed again.
"Where's your bathroom?"
Ward led her into the bathroom as she grabbed a wash cloth. She got it wet with warm water and went back out. Ward sat down on a table as she slowly started to clean his wound. She found some wrapping and slowly started to wrap his arm. She looked at him to find he was staring at her, like he was in a trance.
"Looks like you're going all 'Simmons' on me," he said.
Skye smiled and finished wrapping his arm. Then she looked at the time.
"It's getting late!" She gasped. "Coulson is gonna get worried!"
"What, is it past your curfew?" Ward joked.
Skye hit him.
"I'm serious! Coulson is super over protective!"
"Why don't you stay for dinner?" Ward asked.
Skye stopped and paused at his question.
"What?! You did not just ask that! Stay for a Hydra dinner?! Seriously Ward?!"
"No!" Ward exclaimed, clearly amused. "I mean a dinner just for us."
Skye sighed.
"Look," Ward said and put his hands on her shoulders.
"The time to go back to Coulson has already passed. He's already worried. So you might as well just stay for dinner."
Skye sighed again. Then she smiled a little. "Okay."
