Discovering Me

Chapter 21-NICO

"Take a seat Diya" May spoke with an underlying firm tone, I did as I was told and took a seat.

"How do you know my name, I'm sure I didn't introduce myself" I spoke quietly.

" I know a lot about you" she smiled, not creepy at all I guess.

"Actually, I'm part of an elite organisation, we recruit all sorts of people, for the greater good, we have many missions and a selective few have the privilege to be a part of The Honey Dew project" she spoke as if she was giving a presentation.

"Let me guess you want me to be part of this 'Honey Dew Project' because you've seen me in action when I was fighting for my life this morning because you were there protecting the man that died or something like that"

"Precisely, but it wasn't me who saw you in action, it was one of my colleagues, the one that you shot in the leg, yeah, he was apologising for laughing at you" she paused and then smiled.

"This sounds like a action movie"

"This is nothing like that, you can actually die, or be forced to lose contact with your family, or start a life from scratch, live a lie"

"It's very real, very risky, I want you to be part of it, because not only do I see potential, I can also see you not getting yourself into that much of a mess" she added.

I just stared at her and then took in everything around me, it looked like she wasn't even part of this universe, it looked like too much.

"I'll think about it" I said as I got up to leave.

"You have one more year before we can hire you, but your free to come whenever, the younger the better" she said as she followed behind me.

"Oh and one more thing, I trust you to keep this to yourself, not a word to anyone,if you truly love them, you won't tell them about The Honey Dew project"

I nodded and walked away, Nico was waited there for me sipping a chocolate milkshake in the luxurious waiting room.

"How was it?" He asked as we made our way into his hotel room.

"Oh, completely normal, just a  job offer, nothing special"

"What kind of job?" He asked.

"A... writer"

"Oh"

"Can we get out? This room? Please?"

"Um yeah, sure" he said as he looked at me suspiciously.

As soon as we stepped out his hotel room, I saw him Harris, I quietly turned around and pulled Nico with me, he didn't ask anything, and I was grateful, he ordered fish and chips and Mac and cheese for us, while we waited for Reya and Abby to meet us here.

After I finished my food, I lay on the floor and read a brochure Nico had bought from New York where he watched Hamilton, then I did some extensive research on Alexander Hamilton, still laying on the floor. I also almost broke my nose twice, by dropping my phone on my face, I was so exhausted I fell asleep on the floor.

I woke up to Reya violently shaking me.

"Wake up!" Yelled Abby.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"It's ten o'clock" answered Reya.

"You're early" I slurred still groggy from my hour power nap.

"Right, you lot get the eff outta my room! I need my beauty sleep and so do you lot, also thanks for the scarf Reya! Bye!" Yelled Nico as he dropped us off to the car.

"Bye Nico!" We all waved.

"Bye, and listen if you need to talk, I'm always there for you" he smiled.

"Yeah, I know" I said giving him one last hug.

I didn't sleep that night, going over the events of the day, I couldn't cope with it everytime I closed my eyes something bad sprung up, I didn't know if it was PTSD or anxiety, but I needed to get away, I shifted and turned all night. I couldn't do this anymore, I wanted things to be normal, no boys, no guns, no Dubai, ever.
