Till We Meet Again

Ch.13

"You're extremely irresponsible."

"Thanks for noticing..." Jemma smirked. "Let's go. We got no time to lose."

They exited the building and went to Robin's house. Jemma knew they're near, the more she's aware, the more she's getting the butterflies. She never get the butterflies, she usually shove the butterflies in her victim's stomach. This made her worry a lot. Why am I having these feelings?

"We're here."

Jemma was getting a bit too worried, Lea noticed. She placed her hand on her shoulder. "You look odd."

"Odd?"

"I mean odd... You're not your usual self. You seem a bit too quiet and more serious about this. I thought you don't care."

"I don't."

"Then why did you made another excuse to why I'll let you go with me?"

"Ahh... You saw through my lies huh..."

"Dude... psychology is what I'm really good at. What made you want to see her- Don't tell me... You got a thing for her?"

"No."

"Is that why you can't get the other half?"

Jemma couldn't make a lie, she can tell and nothing can change that fact.

"I knew it." Lea grinned wickedly.

"Just don't tease when we finally get what the boss wanted."

"Ok, ok lover girl. Whatever you say." Lea smirked.

Jemma rolled her eyes and continued heading their way to her house. Jemma went in where she usually entered. It was night so she wouldn't have any problem blending in until,

"Jem?"

The lights were switched on, Jemma turned around to see Robin at the doorway of her room.

"Rob?"

Jemma was so happy that she forgot about the mission, she actually smiled and hugged her.

"Jem? What's wrong?"

"N-nothing... I just want a hug..." Jemma let go and took a step backward for distance.

"What are you doing here at this late hour?"

"I was gonna say the same thing. Why are you up late?"

"Oh... I... couldn't sleep." I just hoped that you would come...

Jemma hoped Robin would say the truth but that's when she realized that they have a mission to finish and they have to do it fast.

"How's your leg?" Of all questions to ask... it's this.

"It's better now so I don't to use the cursed crutches tomorrow." When Robin emphasized the words 'cursed crutches', Jemma chuckled.

Robin smiled and chuckled to herself. Then her smile turned upside down when a thought came up to her.

"Hey, Jem?"

Damn it... I'm missing all of the good stuff. Lea thought when she was rummaging through a secret compartment she found while they were talking.

Hell yes! I got it! That's too easy though...

She took out a small box, she got what the boss wanted.

Way too easy.

Until she opened the box.
