Emergency Assassin

Chapter 9

Tony's POV

I feel bad I'm being hard on Pat during training but this is the only way. She needs to know the situation is very serious.She was still in bed when I got to her room but she wasn't sleeping.

Hey, ready to go? she turns to face me but doesn't get up.

I'm tired, can we continue tomorrow morning? she asks truly looking tired.I feel like getting into that bed and hold her close to me while she sleeps away but I can't coz that may be the last.This is not the time to let our guard down.

You have five minutes to be downstairs and don't make me wait. Patience is not one of my virtues. I leave the room before she can say anything.

After three hours of intensive training(lifting weights,big tyres,etc) we take a break to have some food but Patricia could barely eat and I know it's because her entire body hurts.She vomited once during the training but overall I'm impressed with how she's handling it.Yes she cried a number of times but she never quit.Impressive. 

After meal I gave her some time to shower before going to her room to treat her injuries.When i knocked and didn't get any response I decided to enter thinking she's asleep as usual but the bed was empty.I almost panicked but then the bathroom door opens and Patricia walks out in nothing but a tiny towel.

I'll come back in five minutes I say after an awkward silence between us and start walking towards the door.

No, you don't have to leave.Just look away, I need these bruises treated like yesterday.They hurt like hell.

I sit beside the table backing her but as soon as the towel hit the floor I took a peep. I had to.I could never find the right words to describe such perfection but I can truly say she's beautiful.It's obvious she hasn't been working out before now but her skin isn't saggy at all.Dressing didn't take her time so we proceeded to the first aid.She winced a number of times during the treatment which made me feel like stopping the training but I know I shouldn't.

Can you stay for a while? she asks immediately she noticed me packing up to leave.

sure,I respond but regretting it immediately the word leaves my lips.It's been a while I've been with a woman and the urge is only getting stronger with her around me all the time but I need to keep my pants up and focus on the issue at hand.

Was your training this intense? 

It was actually worse.I got military training from a veteran. Two of them actually, and I was only 17.There where days I didn't think I'd make it through. I feel her body tense beside me.

But of course you can't go through all that even if you wanted to coz we're running out of time.

How old were you when you killed the first person as a hired assassin? she asks 

18. can we not talk about this anymore? besides you need to get a good rest ahead of tomorrows training. 

I'm sorry, it's just, I keep wondering ..no offence  but I can't help wondering how you sleep at night.She asks stuttering.

I don't. I have nightmares but it's nothing to worry about anymore.I take some pills for it now, so you are not going to hear me scream in the middle of the night. I sit beside her on the bed expecting her to back away but she doesn't.

I thought bad guys are supposed to have tattoos all over their body, smoke and drink alcohol, she says teasingly.

First of all, I'm not a bad guy.secondly, you can't donate blood if you have tattoos and I don't smoke nor drink alcohol, I need all my senses sharp at all times.
