Top Secret 2[ON HOLD]

Chapter 18:

Thank you everyone so much for being so patient with this story. Like I said, I've had A LOT going on. I'm in the process of finding a job, cheer practice, and school plus family issues.

I will update again when TS2 makes 15k reads. Thank you guys so much!

Lia's POV:

I'm shuffling through my papers looking for my Ireland passport. Yes, I have different passports for different countries.

This process was taking forever and ever until I found the green leather back passport with my name engraved on it in gold. I open it to make sure everything is up to date and nothing looks expired. I've never been to Ireland before other than as a child so I had to get a new passport from a "friend" of mine who makes them.

I hear Harry's footsteps pacing around the room next to us, what is he doing? I slowly look over my shoulder to see him holding his chin with his other hand touching his elbow as he walks back and forth across the floor. He looks deep in thought but he looked annoyed too.

"Harry?" I ask.

He looks at me, takes a deep breath and huffs his exhale out. Then he continues to pace.

"Harry is something wrong?" I ask, worried.

He walks over to me slowly, huffs out another breath and stops walking when he reaches the window. He watches the snow outside the window like I did the other day when I was watching the snow and writing back to Niall.

"When were you planning on telling me that you were going to see Niall for three weeks?" Harry says, leaning his hand on the table and looking down at me as I shuffle through my papers.

"I was actually going to do that today, once I had my passports and everything organized." I reply.

"We didn't even talk about it, why would you think I would be okay with my girlfriend leaving me to see my best friend by herself?" He says, cockily.

"Harry, I'm not your girlfriend. I thought we made things clear when I said we would take things slow. Yes, I still love you but yes, I'm still hurt by the decisions you made. And cheating on me led you to a woman who almost got us killed, and I ended up saving our asses. Again. So tell me, how am I your girlfriend?" I ask, pushing my chair out and standing up.

"You told me you loved me." He says, getting closer.

"And I do, but I'm not so sure I love you the same way I did before. And you're the only one at fault here, so you brought it upon yourself." I say, shutting down my emotions once again.

"Don't do that, Lia." He says, standing next to me.

I begin to walk away from him, and he pulls me back by my wrist. I turn and shoot him a glare but all I see on his face is sadness. "Do what?"

"Shut me out again." He replies.

"I'm not shutting you out, Harry. Now please, let's drop this. I leave tomorrow." I say, huffing.

"You're definitely shutting me out, once again. You're always shutting me out but when it comes to Niall.. Oh but Niall gets to know everything. Why don't I ever get to know anything before him or anyone else?" He asks.

"Don't play this game with me, you know damn well that you and I were always on and off or always fighting. We never had a peaceful moment in our relationship and you joining the CIA only makes it worse. Do you understand why this is so frustrating?" I say.

"I understand that, but come on, Lia." He begins.

"What, Harry, what? What is there to even talk about except for the fact that I fell in love with a guy from a boy band, who gave me his heart and I did the same. Then we broke up, got back together, broke up, had sex, then got back together. Then while I was dead, or at least I thought I was dead, you found someone else weeks after your mourning period. Then when I wake up from my dead period, I wake up to find myself in my long lost father and sisters house in Paris, France with a bullet hole in my stomach. Next I find the only man I wanted to wake up to and see as soon as I was better with another woman, who was a rogue agent not too long ago. And then I find them kissing and feeling my heart break into pieces. Harry, we have so many disasters in our relationship and I think it's best if we stay single for a little while.." I say, feeling the tears slip out of my eye whilst turned away from Harry.

He turns me to face him and cups my face with his hands and kisses me softly. His lips graced my own with a gentle passion, igniting my senses through every rush. I wrapped my arms around his waist as I cried, as we kissed.

He pulled his lips away for a minute, his eyes barely fluttering open, as he speaks quietly "Lia, I did everything I could to find you again. She said she knew where you were and I had to use her to find you.. I was going crazy without you in my life, and if there was anything I could to do find you again, feel your skin, touch your lips and hear your heartbeat again..I was going to do it."

"You didn't have to do it that way, did you?" I ask, sounding more pathetic than I thought I would.

"You're right, I shouldn't have done it that way but I couldn't find any other way to find you. I knew she was a rogue agent, chief sent me there to find her because she told him she saw you. He sent me there to her and told me to get as close to her as possible.. Did you really think I was going to actually listen to chief and give away your location? He barely even knows I've been with you. Every time he thinks I'm with you, I tell him I'm still looking and that I feel like I'm getting closer." He says.

"You're committing treason against My country, you know that?" I say, somewhat giggling. "You could die for this."

"Some people are worth dying for, and that person, Lia, is you." Harry whispers before lacing our lips together once more.

Monday Morning, 7:36 am:

"I love you, and be safe." Harry says, his forehead resting on mine while our noses are touching in the car on the runway.

"Same for you, I'll be gone for three weeks. Please don't get yourself killed and lay low, please. I'm serious about this, rogue agents are all over Paris and the last thing I need is you getting killed while I'm not there." I say, nervously.

"I'll stay in my apartment and I'll only leave to get food, is that okay?" He asks, kissing my nose.

"That's fine, but bring a gun with you but hide it so no one can see it. The moment you feel like you're in danger, you call me, text me, something to get a hold of me." I say.

"I will babe, don't worry. Now go get on your plane, your pilot is getting anxious." Harry says, softly against my lips.

"I'll see you in three weeks." I say.

"I love you, Lia." He whispers.

"I love you too, Harry." I reply before his lips connect with mine for the last time in weeks. "Stay safe."

I get out of the car and the wind is blowing my hair around everywhere, it's blowing my dress-like peacoat around too. I would reach Ireland in a few hours or so since I'm using one of my jets owned by Eclaire. I curled my hair and did my makeup cause I wanted to look nice for Niall when I saw him. I had on a black peplum dress on with a red belt, black stockings, and red heels with my black peacoat on.

"Good morning, Ms.Costalucci." Charles, one of the attendants greets.

"Good morning sir." I smile, before getting in the plane and watching the door come up.

Sitting down in my seat, I buckle myself in, and get comfortable. I open the small window panel up and look out the actual window to see Harry's small car sitting farther away from the runway so he isn't in the way when I take off. I see him waving, since he got out of the car.

I know he can't see me but I blow him a kiss.

The only thing on my mind was how was this trip with Niall going to go?
