A Spy love story

Chapter 11- invited

When I return to Joshua for the second time he seems lost in thought.
" And you say I'm always lost in thought" I saw awakening him.
" I....."
"Come on boy it is late" his uncle yells. I didn't realize that his uncle was behind him.
" We have to go but we need to talk so can we meet up tomorrow."
I enter his BMW after him.
" we need to talk" starting off sadly," plus I can't I have to study for our big exams coming up and I have a tutor for English working with me and she has a busy schedule, I'm sorry." Plus I'm meeting with Mr. Wright tomorrow.
" don't be, and it's nothing too serious, we can talk on Monday"
We end the conversation at a red light.
The rest of the car ride is uneventful but I can't help but feel that he meant to or say something important for he looks sad and deep in thought the whole time.
When we reach we bade farewell and depart.
The next morning I take the elevator to the very last floor. I type a code and a hand print then I feel the elevator go done. I walk a few halls to reach the biggest room on the floor. Mr. Wright along with some other NGSC agents are discussing the stolen treasures case.
" there's the lady I've been waiting for" he says gleaming and smiling as I walk towards them.
" these are agents Henry, Danielle and Jen." He continues gesturing to the three spies that he was talking to a minute ago.
" nice to meet you all. I come with the evidence I have gathered but it's nothing much. "
" so we've heard" Henry says seemingly annoyed.
" don't mind him, he's grumpy that he has no evidence" says Jen, my favourite so far
" none of us do" says Danielle.
" well let's see what you have in store for us" Mr. Wright says
I play the tape and they are all shocked.
" I'm not sure what's more frightening the fact that he could do such a thing and get away with it for so long or his voice."
I show them map of the museum and the red marked dotted lines as to how they are going to steal the jewel.
I even show the pictures of the safe in which I believe they are stored. They all approve my theory that it would take hours to crack it open. All but Henry who claims to specialize in breaking and entering. He can really get on my nerves.
"It is settled then, these three will meet you at Italy, for you will find your own way to get there. " he says and it takes me a while to understand that he thinks I'll be invited on the trip by Joshua and his uncle.
That went better than expected. For the rest of the weekend I really was studying, for if I was to pull the straight A student profile I needed to do well.
Joshua's POV
John called me saying how we need to talk and soon those words were hated by me."
He came over to my apartment as was arranged, a few minutes later.
" hey"
" hey" I respond
" ok so here's the point before it gets even more awkward." He starts off, " Naomi isn't who you think she is"
" if this about the fire alarm again, you said she told......." Anger is in my words as I defend her and am cut off.
" no. Well not fully, she was taking to a hologram person webcam thing and was saying how she had evidence"
" your not making any sense"
" you shouldn't trust her"
" why not. Just because you are paranoid." I practically scream
" I am not paranoid" he yells.
" I'm in love with her" I tell even louder without thinking. John looks at me as if my words affected and injured him severely.
" look she's the best thing I have had for the past 7 years now and I can finally be myself again. I am going to ask her to be my girlfriend and maybe even invite her to a Christmas trip, my uncle and I always take." I continue in a soft tone.
" I don't think you should do that cause I sense trouble and I don't want you to get hurt." He pushes the argument.
" stop trying to protect me all the time!" We are back to shouting.
" no we are suppose to be friends and I am not making your ignorance and stupidity...." He stops himself and I can tell he regrets saying what he did.
" was it my ignorance why my dad left us and my stupidity why my mom died, if that's how you treat friends maybe we shouldn't be friends. Guess I am stupid and ignorant for having you as a friend." I shout and say out of complete anger as I open the door for him.
" I... I'll just leave" he says and leaves solemnly.
The rest of my weekend was spent thinking about what he said and regretting what I said.
