"I have another question."

I could feel him roll his eyes..."What?"

"Where is my weapon?"

"Safe. Locked away until we need it."

"Why are we back here?"

"Will you shut up? You've talking since we left."

"Well, I'm nervous." I admitted absentmindedly walking past him into my home.

There was a tug on the back of my shirt. He pulled me to his chest and locked his arms around me.

The most comfortable position I've ever been in. The warmth from his body was so lovely. And despite the 14 hour plane ride he still had an intoxicating smell.

To be honest it almost drained me but in a good way.

"Do I?" Killmonger's question floated to my ears.

"Huh?"

"Do. I. Make. You. Nervous?" He spun me with each word until I was facing him then he pressed me to his body.

"Yes,Because who knows what your going to do."

"What would you like me to do?" He said in an almost whisper like tone.

What would I like him to do? That was a hot,dangerous question. Which made me think...

What did I want him to do?"

"Let me go." I answered. It wasn't an honest answer but,I felt it was the best an answer in this situation. " I'm going to shower...again and then I'm going to sleep."

I turned the shower on then sat on the sink holding a bead in my hand. Shuri,T'Challa nor Okoye answered. I decided against calling Nakia only because I didn't  know if I was supposed to apologize or continue like nothing happened.
My limbs just conformed to the bed once I relaxed in it. I didn't  know when my eyes closed but, I know when they flew open. Listening for the sound that woke me up, I jumped up making myself dizzy.

I walked into my living only to find a lot more than one person. Three people in my kitchen looking at me like I don't belong, two extras in my living. One flipping through channels and the other one typing away on her laptop.

"Afternoon. " Killmonger greeted passing me a bag.

"Thanks." I said looking at the food " Turned my home into a hideout?" I noticed he had changed I liked that jacket.

"For now." he shrugged
"So what's the plan for your friend?"

"We have to get something first."

I caught the look of the only other beautiful girl in the room. She didn't look happy and was staring a hole into my forehead.

" I'm in. She announced when her computer triple beeped.

"Go get dressed. We'll be leaving soon." Perhaps it was my hazy mind but,did he sound smoother  than before? Was that a possibility for him?

Making the decision to leave the koye beads I grabbed my bag and crisscrossed it over myself.

"Those guys move quick." I said seeing just the girl and Killmonger left in the room.

"You just dress slow." Killmonger said putting some glasses on his face.

"An outfit is well planned, sir "

"We have a little less than two hours for this to work. "

"Let's go."
