Smart Can Be Sexy

Chapter 24

Toms POV
I follow Will through the building. "She's here!" We hear someone shout. Shit. We run outside where Tori is on the ground and a guy is holding a gun to her head. She looks at me.
"Who wants to do the honours of taking her back?" The guy with the gun says with a laugh.
"I'll do it." I raise my hand and grab her off the ground roughly.
"She killed my best friend. I want to see her suffer." I put her in front of me and walk to a car. I put her in the back seat of one of the jeeps and drive away.
"I can't believe we got away." She says. "I know I feel like a badass!" I say. She laughs.
"We're going to go back to the villa and get our stuff then we'll head to the airport and get out of here." I say.

Toris POV
We pull up outside the villa and go in. We start packing our stuff quickly and we don't change. Toms in a suit and I'm in a dress but we don't care we just have to get out. After Tom tells the owner we won't be staying longer he comes into the room. I put a gun in the top of my thigh belt.
"Wow...what's uhhh...what's that?" Tom asks nervously.
"Tom it's my belt I take for undercover stuff, and I take a gun with me everywhere. I knew this would happen one day." I say to him as I put my dress back over the top of it.
"Let's go." Tom called someone to get a car that we could use. We leave quickly, speeding a little.
We near the airport when I see a familiar black car behind us.
"Don't freak out Tom, but we're getting followed." I say as I take the gun out.
"Okay, here," Tom hands me a gun.
"What? What is this?" I ask.
"I kept it once you gave it to me," he smiles.
"Oh this is why I love you," I smile. I roll down the window.
We come to a red light.
"If they shoot, I'll shoot but you have to stay calm okay? They don't care about you. They want me so just keep driving." I explain to Tom.
"Got it," He looks at me.
"I love you," He smiles. I kiss him.
"I love you too." We rest our foreheads together for a bit when we get interrupted by a shot on the car.
"Take a left!" I shout. Tom swerved and the sat-nav takes a different route.
The car follows. I shoot out the window at the car and it goes right through the windshield. They take shots back and it goes through the back window, nearly hitting Tom.
"Tori kill them already!" Tom shouts.
"I'm sorry I'm doing the best I can!" I shout back. I fire and it hits one of the guys right in the middle of the head.
"Shit," I say, a little taken aback on what I just did.
"Oh my god...Tori you're such a badass! I feel like I'm James Bond!" Tom jumps up and down on his seat.
"Tom! Concentrate!" I shout.
"Sorry, Yeah." I try and aim but it's really hard at the angle I'm at.
"I can't aim!" I say.
"Tom..."
"No, Tori no way," he shakes his head. "I need you to. Please Tom." I say.
"Give me it." He takes the gun out of my hand.
"You drive," He says. He pulls the seat back and I sit on his lap, taking control of the wheel.
"Aim accurately please," I say.
"Will do." He shoots out the window.
"Shit..." Tom whispers.
I stop in a small alley.
"What?" I hop out the car. The guy driving has a wound in his chest. He stops and gets out the car.
"Shit! Tom out the way!" I shout.
"Not without you!" He shouts back.
"Tom! You have to! Please! Go!" I start crying.
"YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!" The guy clutches his chest. I turn back to Tom.
"Tori! I am not leaving you here! You'll die or get arrested!"
"Tom...it's okay." Tom gets out the car and slams the door. He's crying.
"No FUCKING way am I letting you go." He walks closer to me.
"Tom I'm a big girl, okay?"
"Tori don't do this..."
"You're going to drive to the airport and you're going to go home. You'll go back to your flat and unpack just like you would, okay?" He shakes his head.
"You'll get a wife soon and you'll start a family! And your career is taking off, you'll get a ton of awards!" I wipe Toms tears away.
"I'm so proud of you..." I whisper and cup his face.
"Tori...I can't..." he whispers as he clutches my hands.
"Tom...you have a life without me. I'll be okay..."
"SAY YOUR GOODBYE VICK." The guy shouts.
"ONE MINUTE PLEASE!" I shout back.
"Tori I am not letting you go." He says.
"I'll be okay," I say softly.
"No...you're not leaving." Tom says.
"I love you Tom. Don't forget me." I bring my hands back from his face and put them up.
"Tori! No! You can't do this!" Tom shouts behind me. I walk towards the agent and he handcuffs me.
"TORI NO I CANT LET YOU GO! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" Tom is shouting and running after me.
"I love you Tom." The agent shoves me in the car.
Tom shouts and bangs on the window. The tears can't stop streaming down my face.
"I LOVE YOU TORI! DON'T LEAVE PLEASE!" Tom is choking up with the tears but is really loud.
"TORI PLEASE!" The car drives off. I can see from the mirror that he's chasing after the car.
I can't look any longer so I just put my head down and submerge in my tears.
