Spy on A Mission

Chapter Fourteen

I was about to get up when she grabbed my arm and my heart speed up quickly from our contact. I slowly looked at her with alarm.

“What? Do you not… Like me?” She asked softly.

I wanted to say something because I did. I really like her, but it’s my mission that is keeping me apart from her.

She looked down, “Because I assume you did from…Our kiss.” She looked back up at me when she said the last part.

I looked at her and she had sadness in her eyes and I can tell she was holding back tears which my heart ache I do not like to see her hurt and I’m the one who is giving her the pain.

“I do like you…” I paused. I can not believe I just blurted that out, now there is no way for me to get out of this, way to go listening to my heart.

“You do? You just have been weird showing that you do.” She stated.

“I know and I’m sorry I’ve been a jerk to you.”

“You have not, you just been…Confusing.” She finished.

“Sorry about that.”

“It’s alright, so…We are good?” She asked.

“Yes, we are.” I said softly.

We were looking at each other, I wanted to kiss her so bad. I mean I can still do the mission and be with her. There is no harm doing both, right? Oh hell with it, I really want to be with her, kiss her, and hold her in my arms.

I slowly leaned over where our faces were close, my heart was picking up speed and I can hear her shallow breathing, she had her hands on my neck and grabbed me into a kiss. Our lips touched for a second and we were looking at each other for signs if this is alright. Our lips touched again with passion and more force, I pulled her closer to me and I can feel the heat from her body. I knew then that she felt the same passion for me as I do for her. There was a knock on the door that startled us, we broke apart quickly. I walked over to the my bedroom door and it was Tyler standing there.

“Hey, What is…Who is that?” Tyler said as he looked over my shoulder where Madison was sitting on the bed.

I open the door wider and Tyler came into the room, “Um…Tyler this Madison. We go to school together.”

Madison got up from the bed, “Hi Tyler, its nice to meet you. ” She stuck her hand out.

Tyler shook her hand, “Its nice to meet you too.” Tyler looks at me, “You are lucky mom did not come up.”

I gave a little laugh and Madison started blushing which was so adorable.

“What are you making for dinner, Riley?” Tyler asked impatiently.

“I don’t know Tyler.” I mumbled.

“Well hurry and decide I’m starving over here.” Tyler chuckled.

“Alright, what about Baked Ziti?”

“Sure my stomach will inhale anything right now.” Tyler said as he rubbed his empty stomach.

I chuckled, “Okay I’ll get on it. buddy.” I said as I messed up his hair.

Tyler was annoyed by me messing up his hair and he was trying to fix it. “So, are you staying for dinner Madison?” Tyler blurted out.

Madison looked at us back and fourth, “No, I don’t want to intrude.”

“No you won’t, right Riley?” Tyler pleaded and looked at me.

I looked at Madison, “No, its alright stay for dinner.”.

She gave me a smile, “Alright, I’ll just text my dad.”

She grabbed her phone and started pressing the keys, then turned it off and looked up at me and gave me smile which sucked out all the air from me.

We started walking down the stairs and got to cooking and Madison helped a little but Tyler kept talking to her.

Madison set the salad bowl on the table and the milk glass. I started putting the bake ziti on the plates and Tyler set them on the table. I grabbed the napkins and all sat at the table, we heard the front door open and my mom came in shock to see Madison here.

“Hello. Oh who is this?” My mom said curiously.

Madison got up from the table and walked over to my mom and stuck her hand out, “Hello Ms. Mason. I’m Madison.”

“Hello and just call me Rachel.”

Madison gave her smile, “Okay, Rachel.”

“What is for dinner?” My mom said pleasantly as she walked over to Tyler and I to kiss the top of our heads, she was running her hands over Tyler’s hair in a motherly way.

“Baked Ziti and a salad.” I informed her.

We all sat down at the table and started eating, I was actually surprise how delicious it was, I did not think it would come out so good.

“This is very delicious Riley.” Madison said as she gave me a smile.

I smiled at her, “Why thank you Madison.” I said amusingly.

“Your very welcome.” She retorted back.

We both chuckled and she looked down at her food blushing.

“I’m glad he has found a friend. I know it was tough for him to move to another school.” My mom said.

“Well, I’m glad to be his friend.” Madison said as she looked at me.

I looked down at my plate, I really felt bad for lying to her about this whole mission. I really care about her and she considers to be my friend or even more, its just not right for me to do this to her, but what choice do I have this is part of my job.

After dinner Madison helped clean up and her and my mom were talking, we were all laughing.

“It was really nice meeting you Madison.” My mom said pleasantly.

Madison gave her a smile, “It was nice meeting you too Rachel.”

I walked her out to her car, “So, see you at school.” I said coyly.

“Yeah, are you actually going to be there?” She said with a chuckle.

I gave a little laugh, “Yeah I am.” I paused. “Look, I know have been confusing lately.”

“Riley…” She interrupted.

“No, I want to apologize.” I interrupted, “I just been confuse with everything. I just…”

She put her hands on my chest which took me by surprise and made my heart skip a beat, we were so close to each other.

“Riley, its all right.” She said softly and gave me a small smile.
