One Day At A Time

Chapter 5

We started off the day splitting up to scout the mountain. We needed to know our area incase of a surprise ambush, or some things along the lines of that.

I broke us up into the same teams we were in yesterday. Gyles was having a difficult time trying to walk through the snow. It was very amusing watching him tho.

Quit laughing at me Logan!

Im not laughing. maybe saying that with a giant grin on my face was a bad idea.

I can see you laughing right now! When he said this he sunk further in the snow and I lost all self control.

I started laughing uncontrollably and soon Gyles lost control too. We both sat in the snow for 10 minutes laughing our asses off just like when we were younger.

You have to admit it was pretty funny, I said smiling at him. His face got visibly redder by the second.

No you are just an asshole and I wasnt laughing at me I was looking at how dumb your face looked.

He tried to defend himself but I knew he thought it was funny. He was cute when he got embarrassed. Shit I gotta stop thinking like this. Im not going to make it out of this mission alive, I cant let myself get attached to him.

Hey whats wrong? You got all serious.

Uh nothing, sorry I was thinking about how close we are to finally getting rid of my father.

I know this is something youve wanted for a while and Im glad Ive got to see you grow into who you are and be a part of the team that helps you complete your biggest goal. He was giving me a soft smile and I felt my heart beat faster. How am I supposed to stop thinking about him like this when he goes and says shit like that. This is going to be harder than I thought.

Yeah Im glad you are with me too.

We spent the rest of scouting catching up. I found out he is the number one hacker in the agency, which makes him one of the top 10 smartest people on the whole planet. Hes beat out hackers we've hired from some of the biggest hacking agencies in the world. I knew he was smart but I never thought he was that smart. How is he so smart but still manages to be an idiot.

I told him about me moving ranks and how I was offered a seat on the council but I refused, I only became an assassin for one reason and it was to take down my father. After this Im done. Ive saved all the money Ive collected over the years and if I live, I'm going to live my life as comfortably as possible. If I die, half my money is being donated to kids whove gone through similar things to me and the other half is going to Gyles. He doesnt know this but Ive signed it over to him after we stopped homeschooling. 

Hey whats that over there? Logan said and tried to (but failed) run through the snow down to a lake at the bottom of this hill.

The hill was completely frozen over so you could walk on it. Me and Gyles slid across it laughing and chasing each other around. We raced and I won obviously but Gyles is actually really fast for how short he is. Hed probably be faster than a lot of trained assassins. At one point we didnt see each other and crashed. I ended up on top of Gyles. Our faces were 2 inches apart and what I wouldnt give to kiss his right now.

I started to lower my head and he closed his eyes.

Hey guys what are you doing? Alex screamed running towards us. I quickly got off of Gyles and helped him up. His face was still red but you could barely tell because of the cold.

Alex was with Juno, Lincoln and Lucy. They luckily didnt notice what happened.

We found a lake and wanted to see if it was sturdy. We ended up slipping and fell. I said looking over at Gyles to make sure hes okay. He looked at me and blushed more. Why does he keep blushing. Is he embarrassed something almost happened? This is too much to think about right now.

I led the team back to the cabin and we made dinner. We talked about things we found in the mountains. Lucy and Lincoln found moose, while Alex and Juno almost got attacked by a bear. I laughed when Juno explained how scared Alex got. We sat there laughing over everything and I have to admit it wasnt horrible. I usually love working alone but I cant laugh on missions by myself.

My missions are usually so lonely.

But these guys? They arent as bad as I thought they were.

I was so deep in thought that I didn't hear Alex calling me and suddenly my face was covered in mash potatoes.

Never mind, I want my solo missions back.
