Going Undercover

Chapter 18- The 'chat'

Chapter 18- The 'chat'

*Alexis POV*

I'm woken up by rustling in the kitchen. I slowly sit up, rub my sleepy eyes and then I look down at my hands. Crap. My mascara is smeared all over my hands and I sigh. I walk to the bathroom wash my face and change into my sweatshirt and a pair of loose jeans.

As I walk into the kitchen I'm surprised to see Kyle cooking.

"I didn't know that you could cook." I walk over to him and he shoots me a dazzling smile that could make any girl weak in the knees.

"There's a lot you don't know about me." His voice suddenly gets huskier and I cant help but shiver.

"So, what did the Boss say?" I quickly change the subject, a bit thrown off by his earlier remark.

"Yeah, about that. We're going on an adventure tonight." He smirks at me.

"So, I go down there, walking casually. Pretend to be shocked too see him, and then when he comes close I..." I trail off. Damn, how hard can it be to learn this?

"You say that you're not alone, and then I come flying down like batman. Then you do whatever you want with him, except kill him. I might jump in and throw a few punches, if that's alright?" He looks so excited to be doing this that I can't help but giggle.

"Sounds awesome." Suddenly, Kyle freezes, and his gaze fixates on something behind me.

"He's here." I was thrown off by his hateful tone. 

"Okay. Showtime." I took a deep breath and started to walk towards him. I start to whistle our song. He stops abruptly, and his gaze lands on me. Judging by the look in his eyes he is terrified and shocked.

"Alexia?" His voice is filled with disbelief, but I can't really focus on on that, since his voice sends me back to the last time he spoke to me.

"You disgust me! You're no good at all, you're just a useless little shit! Go to hell!" His fist delivered a punch my stomach, making me fall into a heap on the floor, the tears flowing out of my eyes.

"P-please To-Tommy baby. I-I didn't me-mean it. Y-you know I love y-" The wind was knocked out of me when his heavy boot connected with my stomach and the pain shot up through my whole body.

"Shut up! I don't care about you! You're so weak, can't take care of your man like a real woman!" The next kick was stronger, sending me flying down the stairs. I barely get to recognize the pain in my body before a forceful blow is delivered to my head, and the world goes black. 

"Tom." I'm surprised that my voice doesn't break. The fear and hatred I feel for him is enough to make my body shake, but I stay calm.

"I though you were dead." Yeah, he never really beats around the bush.

"Well, I'm not." He advances towards me, but I surprise him by standing my ground, not wavering at all. 

"What do you say we... Catch up?" He takes a step closer to me.

"I'm sorry, sweetie, but I've already got plans with my man." His face shows confusion and I smile inwardly. Didn't expect that, did you? He quickly pulls himself together and snorts.

"Impossible. The only way you could have gotten a man was if you were good in bed, but since you aren't, you're obviously lying." I just smirk at him, waiting for him to spot Kyle. Suddenly, his eyes widen, and he takes a step back.

"Hello darling. Who is this?" Kyle pretends to eye him from head to toe, his eyes in slits and his posture threatening in the dark alley. 

"This is Tom, that I told you about." I gesture towards Tom, making sure to send him a fake smile.

"Hmm. Maybe I should... Have a little chat with him." Kyle's face contorts into an evil grin, moving forward.

"Baby, I don't think that will be necessary. Yet." Now it's my turn to smirk and move forward.

"What do you say Tommy? Wanna chat?" With a growl I throw myself at him, punching and kicking out all the fear, anger and sorrow that he caused me.

I totally got lost in my mission, because when he was unconscious Kyle had to lift me away from Tom, but not after spitting in front of him. As he held me with one strong arm he dialed someone with the other, and minutes later a black van arrived, took Tom, and drove away. He was finally gone.

"You know that if it would've been my decision I would have let you beat him as long as you'd like, but since the Boss didn't want that I had to grab you. I'm sorry." We had been walking in silence for the last twenty minutes, not uttering a single word since the encounter with Tom.

"It's alright. I'm glad you did, I wouldn't have been very happy with myself if I'd killed him." 

"Okay." We continue our silent walk as the sunrise cast a pink glow over New York. 

"Why did he call you Alexia?" Kyle's question throws me off guard. I didn't think that he'd notice the slight change in my name.

"I changed it when I recovered. Not a big change but it felt important to me." I explain and he nods.

After a while Kyle stops and turn towards me, the sunrise giving his face a golden glow. He slowly leans in and my breath hitches in my throat. This is it. Just as he's about to connect our lips, a girly squeal interrupts us.

"Kyle!"

I turn towards the voice, and instantly all good thoughts from the almost-kiss vanish.

Are you kidding me?
