Will you still be mine?

Chapter 38 - Crippled

*non proof read*

** T-0 the day of the Operation**

Ash POV

I woke up from the sound of someone cooking in the kitchen. I stood up then walked out from the bedroom towards the kitchen. I saw Vivian cooking something at the stove. I then walked over towards her and hugged her from behind.

Ash:"Good morning Viv. What are you making?" I asked while putting my head on her shoulder.

Vivian:"Well, I am making us some sausages, bacon and scramble eggs.. Do you mind helping me with the toast and grab some juice and coffee for me?" she asked and I nodded.

I walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of orange juice for myself, 2 butter cubes and 1 strawberry jam then walked towards the coffee machine and pour 1 cup of coffee for Vivian. I then walked over to the kitchen table top and grabbed some bread to and put them into the toaster to make some toast. After 5 minutes, I put the toast onto a plate together with the butter and jam to the dining table. I then went back the kitchen to help Vivian and took the plates full of food so she can wash the pots and stuff while I prep the breakfast on the table. Once Vivian had finished washing, she walked out to the dining table and sat opposite me.

Ash:"Where is Jamie by the way?" I asked while applying some butter onto the toast for Vivian and put onto her plate.

Vivian:"She wasn't home when I come here. She has been busy with some cases while my team had just finish off with a bank heist" she said while taking a bite on her toast. "Mmmm... this is nice" she moans softly while I rolled my eyes. "How are you feeling now?" she asked looking at me.

Ash:"Nothing" I said without looking at her and dropped my hand on the table beside my plate.

Vivian:"What do you mean by nothing? Is okay for you to feel sad or disappointed or mad, babe. You need to release your stress or anger out and is no good to keep things inside... You know I am here for you right?" she said while holding my hand and squeeze them.

Ash:"I know Viv. Can we not talk about any of this now?" I asked looking at her.

Vivian:"Yes.. Sure.. . So, you coming over tonight for our weekend movie marathon?" she asked.

Ash:"I will see how because we have a mission tonight and not sure what time it finish; it might drag longer. How about we postpone it to next week?" I asked while finishing up my breakfast.

Vivian:"Okay. You better be careful during the operation okay. Don't try to be a hero yourself as everything is on Team Work. Promise me once you are back from work you will text or call me so I know that you are safe, okay?" she said looking at me and I nodded.

Ash:"I promise okay. I am not a heroin so I won't try to act being 1 myself" I said while finishing up my cup of orange juice.

We then cleaned up the table, wash and dried the plates and cutlery. I asked Vivian to take a shower since she will be dropping me to my office later then only go to work. I took 1 of my t-shirts and a pair of jeans and passed to her to change. Although Christina has some of her cloths around, is best not to let Vivian to have them because I don't want to cause any misunderstanding anymore between us. While Vivian was showering, I took my phone and walked over to the couch then unlocked it. I saw 1 missed called from Christina then 1 message from her. I let out a sighed before opening the message and read it. 

Once I done reading the message, I quickly dialed Christina's number. *ring ring* "Baby!,,, Are you okay? I am worried about you... Please tell me you are okay now?" Christina said. "Love, I am okay now after hearing your voice; it calms me and I am happy that you text me back after-" I was cut off by something Christina said "Baby... I love you.... I love you so much and I don't care what other people says. I just want to hug you now and kiss you" she said while I was smiling like an idiot. "I love you too and very soon you will be back here then we can hug as long as you want and kiss as much as you like.
