Lana Steele 2.0

Chapter 2

After coming back to the room Nemesis and I were sharing, I took a nice cold shower washing my hair in the process. It's been a while since I had a long shower where I could just sit and think about everything. It felt good. Relaxing even.

I wrapped myself up in the clean white towel provided. I didn't have any clean clothes so I just wore undergarments I found in the drawers. "You should definitely wear just those all the time." Nemesis smirked as I rolled my eyes. I put on the shirt I was wearing earlier.

Admittedly, I was checking him out just a little. He wore nothing but some black boxers and socks. They seemed a little big but I wouldn't mind if something would've happened to them and he had to sleep naked. His beautifully toned abs complimented his defined muscles. All I wanted to do was feel all over him right now. I signaled that I wanted him to get in the bed. I crawled in right in after him. "Lana, I like you. A lot actually. I can't ever stop thinking about you." I sat up to face him. "I feel the same way. It's quite annoying actually. When we were in the auction place and you risked your life to let me get out safely. I thought I had lost you." I laughed lightly as he chuckled. "You're annoying." I shot him a mean glare. "With your constant seriousness and the 'I don't care about anything, tuff girl' attitude." I scoffed. "At least I'm not ugly and annoying with a stupid accent." He pretended to be offended. " I thought the accent sealed the deal." I smiled and bit my lip. He kinda inched closer as to lean in. I rested my hands on his chest as I pushed him back on the bed and sat on top of him. His hands rubbed my cheeks softly as he moved closer and closer. I, closing the little space in between us, pressed my lips against his as I kissed him passionately. He pressed my body down on top of his and rubbed the small of my back. Pulling away, I smiled down on him and laid my head on his chest.

"Were you really going to kill me in Tokyo?" The bought just crossed my mind. Admittedly, I was scared. I thought back to the time where I dressed as Anna N. to get into her apartment in Tokyo.

I felt him following me.
How did he get here?
Why is he here?

"Lana." His tone full of arrogance. I huffed quickly and turned to face him. I just wanted to slap that smug smile off his face. "Aw, I hope you and your little friends didn't dress up just for me." I returned the same smile. "You make a lovely bride by the way." I was a little shocked that he would actually care to see that. "You saw that." He then said something I couldn't make out. "Where's the clue?" I hesitantly took the microdot from its place in my cardigan and showed it to him. "I knew you'd lead me to it." He said. "And I knew you'd know that." I stepped closer to him but still keeping my distance. "And I knew you knew I knew so I brought backup." I cocked my head to the side slightly. "And I knew you knew I knew you knew so I brought this." I held a lighter up to the dot. He had to contain one of his buddies. His face turned serious real quick. "Burn it and I kill you." If I burn it I won't know what's on the dot but I won't know what's on it if I'm dead. I licked my teeth and put the lighter away. I turned to the side to help come up with a plan. I smirked as a man dressed in bikers gear stretched next to his bike. "Move and I burn it." I motioned with the lighter. "Don't force my hand. I hate to have to see you killed." "I'll tell you what, I'll give you a choice. You can either chase me or, the microdot." I kissed the microdot before slamming it onto the bikers back as he rode past. "This isn't over Lana Steele." His last words before chasing the biker.

He chuckled. "I was totally bluffing." I looked up at him, skeptical. "I was, I promise. I don't know what I'd do if you were to die." I laid my head back down on his chest. I kinda sensed his bluff. I decided to change the subject.

"You know when I went around the house, I found an office." He seemed intrigued. "There were internet tabs of articles on my mom." He know how sensitive the topic of my mom is so for that wound to be one ed up again, he can tell it's taking a toll on me.  "Lana,.." I held my hand up. "The office belonged to Quinn. She's working with Mr. X to find my mom." He gasped and tensed up. I picked my head up and saw him looking away wiping tears away. "Are you okay?" I turned his head to face me and wiped the tears on his cheeks. "This one guy went after my family back in England. He was a highly classified/trained man. Very smart. Knew my weaknesses before I knew them myself. He ended up killing my parents and kidnapping my sister. I haven't seen her in about 7 years. I was 16 and she was 14. I thought she was going to die. Quinn is my sister." I wasn't as surprised as I thought I would be. "I'm so sorry." I sat up and kissed his forehead. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around my waist holding me close. I laid on my side and he pressed his face into my chest. We stayed in this position until we fell asleep.
