Dangerous Pursuit

chapter 24

                  

Sandy

"Okay, so what's the report Sweetheart? Is it safe to eat?" Jeremy teased me.

He knows how keen I am when it comes to security and he has to admit that I outdated him when it comes to technology.

I just laugh and prepare our food. We ate in silence. I admit, I felt my hunger just now after the stress we had from day one of our mission. Added stress is his closeness to me.

After we ate and cleaning our clutter I went ahead to shower before him. We only have one room as we check-in as honeymooners. I change into my comfortable loose t-shirt and jeggings.

I went to check on Jeremy to let him use the room before we sleep. I found him with two cups of coffee for him and me like he used to do.

I sat opposite him and check again my phone for any suspicious things.

"Sandy, you can sleep first. I will watch you."

"I can't."

"So you can teach me then the ins and outs of the organization, the hide out, everything."

I just stared at him and did not speak.  His mind is still in rescuing Zac. I know they don't agree much and it is so noble of him to rescue Zac. Is he serious of his motives?

"Are you serious of rescuing Zac?"

He nods.

"Rescuing him for me?"

"Yes." He affirms it with concern eyes.

"Why?" Not that I don't want to rescue Zac. I am planning to do it myself. I will ask help from Madam Grace after I gave the files to her.

"I already told you, I want you to be.......happy."

Happy?

".......and Zac can make me happy." I concluded what he wants to tell.

"Yeah,  I can feel he likes you very much......... and he is there for you......and you seem to have a past. And Melissa............... needs her father."

Her father? He knows something.

"He told you he is the father of Melissa?"

"No, he didn't. I just presume.....that....you know."

I shook my head in disbelief and rolled my eyes on him. My personal life is none of their business. I will solve my own problem with Melissa when it comes to her father.

I stand up to call it a night. I am already tired of this things.

"I want to rest now Jeremy. You can follow or be on watch first and I will relieve you later."

"Wait, Sandy," He pulled my arms until I landed on his chest. We were this close in the ducts and I can feel again the heat between us.

He looks at me with hooded eyes.  "Can we just make this night for the two of us? Only you and me."

Our faces are only inches apart. I can feel his breathing on my skin, the heat of his body and his blue eyes piercing into my soul.

We can't be like this. If his memory comes back, I am sure he will despise me.

"Jeremy, you can't remember anything yet. How about Trisha...... or............ Bessie."

"Look Sandy, I can't deny my feelings for you anymore." He gently strokes my lips with his thumb. "I try to suppress my feelings for you since I stayed with you. I did not feel anything like this even when I met Trisha. Nothing happened between us even if she tried. It's just you all the time in my mind."
