I woke up the next morning. My body ached. I stood up and stretched as I walked over to a mirror. I looked at my bruised body. I winced as I touched a huge bruise on my right thigh. My eyes traveled up to my face where I noticed some stitches under my left eye. I then remembered last night and how Midas took care of me.
"I guess I was so tired I barely paid attention," I said to myself.
I walked back to my room not caring that I was in a sports bra and spandex. I went into my closet and put on some comfy clothes. I grabbed black leggings and a white crop top. I braided my hair and walked out of my room. I made my way over to Midas' office. I knocked on the door.
"Yes?"
I walked in to see Midas sitting at his desk going through some files. He looked up and smiled.
"Good morning darling. I hope you slept good last night. I mean, you must've considering is 1 in the afternoon," he chuckled.
"Was I out that long? Gosh. I'm sorry I didn't wake up earlier Midas," I said as I walked over to him.
"Nonsense Y/N. You had a long day yesterday. You needed sleep."
I smiled and took a seat next to him.
"I'm sorry Midas. I never meant to get kidnapped. This was all my fault. I went to get a snack in the middle of the night and the next thing I know I'm out cold on the ground," I sighed.
Midas grabbed my hand, "Sweetie, this was not your fault at all. Remember the message they sent us the other day through the tv? Well we all believe they were talking about you. Agent Peely noticed they hacked our system and found out about you. They learned how good of an agent you are, and that you hold a special place in my heart. That's why they took you, they knew I'd come looking for you if you went missing."
I looked down for a second l, then back up at him. How could I have gotten so lucky with a man like him. He risked his life for mine yesterday. He proved his love. He would've given everything up just to save my life. If that's not love then I don't know what is.
"Thank you Midas...for everything."
I got up and placed a kiss on his cheek. He smiled and pulled me into a hug. I squeezed his shoulder before walking out of the room. I headed for the break room. My stomach was begging for food. When I walked into the break room I noticed Maya was sitting at the table by herself eating a salad. I grabbed an apple and sat down across from her. She looked up from her bowl and made eye contact with me.
"What do you want?" She questioned.
Maya and I were never on good terms, but I wanted that to change. Not that we had to be best friends, but I didn't want tension between us.
"Look Maya, I know you don't like me. You dont have hide it. I just want to clear the air with you. I don't know why you hate me but I don't hate you. I just want to know what's causing you to dislike me so much."
She sighed and finally said, "It's stupid."
"I won't judge."
"It's Midas. I've been trying to get his attention for a long time, ever since I got here basically. I would do anything and everything. I'd work the hardest during training. Always go on the hardest and most dangerous missions, but nothing seemed to work. I'd try and make small talk and he'd brush it off. The only time we ever really talked was during the ball he holds every spring. Other than that he never would have a full conversation with me. I got jealous of you Y/N. When you came to the Agency I could tell he had a thing for you. Once I saw him put an effort towards you that's when it got me going. I was furious. I then saw how much you mean to him. I finally started to let go of what I thought I had with him. I'm actually talking to someone right now, but that's confidential."
