Since he had left I decided to actually get dressed. I throw on some shorts and a tank top. I walk over to Dakota’s apartment and knock.

Dakotas isn’t the one to open the door.  This girl has dark brown hair that goes down just below her shoulders. It’s kinda poofy but it’s pulled back into a pony tail. Her eyes are a brownish color and she is quite tanned, something tells me she does a lot of work in the Middle East.

“Hi,” she says sizing me up. I’m not that much shorter than her maybe an inch.

“Hi, um, I moved in a little while back and I met Dakota while you were gone evidentially when there was a storm…”

“Oh you’re Kaira. Yeah she told me about you also Jake did too. My name’s Tara. Also Jake told me that your preferred method was toxins.” Her face makes this smile that is knowledgeable and yet sadistic. I like it.

“Yeah, he told me nothing about you though.” I say laughing.

“Come in and we can get to know each other,” I am let into a nice looking apartment that is very brightly colored.

I sit down onto a comfortable chair/couch. It’s white leather and I watch as Tara gets some iced tea. I watch her every move, I mean, she is an assassin. Nothing happens and she walks back over with a glass.

“Jake told me that it’s your favorite.”

“He told you a lot about me didn’t he?” I take the glass from her and watch her sit down the couch juxtapose to mine.

“He actually created a file on you,” she laughed.

“Wait, what?” I say with my eyes wide and laughing.

“Yeah, god, it’s nice to have another girl like me in the building. You don’t understand how hard it is not to tell Dakota what I am. She’s too sweet and innocent to know.”  She is still smiling and I begin to warm up to her.

So we spend the whole day getting to know each other and just talking. I eventually call Jeremy and talk for a bit but it’s not long before Dakota comes back and says she wants to go shopping. 

So that’s what I do for the rest of the day. Shopping with 2 girls, which was nice cause I haven’t had many girl friends to hang with. I love having them though.  We get back and Jake is waiting for Tara at her door.

“Hey babe,” he says kissing her cheek.

“Hey, I was just shopping with my new friend Kaira. She’s not as bad as you said.” she laughed at that notion.

“I never said that she was bad, but that she was different in a weird way,” he said trying to save himself.

“Babe, it’s not gonna save you, I still like you.” she intertwines her fingers with his and he smiles. I think he really likes her cause that has never happened with any other girl I have seen him with. 

“Well, I’m going to put my stuff up so, bye, see you later.” I say trying to get out of the awkward moment. I hear some goodbyes before I get to my door. Inside I let out a breath and put my stuff up. It’s almost 9 at night and I am tired. Tomorrow is my last day before I have to leave again.  I get ready for bed and fall asleep to the sound of the wind against my window.

I awake to a bright sun. I roll out of bed and go take a shower. I shave and wash my hair, once I’, out I put on my clothes and I do my hair and make-up. I have to make today special for Jeremy cause when I go to the Middle East; I have no idea if I’m coming back. I hate it but I have to do it.

I drive to his house where I lean on my car and honk for him to come out.

I smile at him when he comes out.

“Hey babe,” he says kissing my lips passionately.

“Morning,” I say once he breaks away. I have a devilish smile playing across my face cause I have a plan. Well sort of.

I don’t have a complete plan but enough of one that he should be afraid of what I want to do.

“So, what are you doin here?”

“Abducting you for the day. “

“Really, what if I refuse?”

“Then I’ll take you hostage.” I smile widely.

“And if I fight back?” his body presses up against mine.

“Then, I’ll fight right back,” I brush my lips against his and then get into my car.

He reluctantly gets in and I lock the door. I smile as I head off towards my plan.  We drive for a while listening to the radio and me singing to almost every song that comes on.

“That is seriously impressive,” he finally says during a commercial break.

“What is?” I say pulling into a grocery store parking lot. I get out and he does also with a confused face. I grab a cart and run down the aisles getting stuff. Chips, soda and ready-made sandwiches, I also grabbed some potato salad and a blanket, then checked out. Jeremy couldn’t find me so once I put the stuff in my trunk I called him.

“Hey come to the car, I’m done.” I say then start the engine up.

He comes out looking more confused and got into the car.

“What is with you and the disappearing thing?” he asks as I head back onto the main road.

“It’s just something I do,” I smirk cause as an assassin, I have to be able to disappear quickly.

“Did you get what you wanted?”

“Yupp,” I say popping the ‘p’.

“So will you tell me where we’re going?”

“No,” I say smirking.

“Why?”

“Cause it’s a little thing called a surprise.”

“Have I ever told you that I don’t like surprises?”

“No, because that would be a lie.”

“And you would know this because….”

“You were ok with my last surprise.”

“That’s different.”

“Really? How?”

“It just is.”

“What if I could promise that you’ll like this one?”

“Can you promise?”

“Absolutely.”

We continue to drive and I see where the spot is that I want to get to. I pull off the main road and into this grassy area where it had an amazing view.

“We’re here.” I say with a smile and turning off the car.

“Where are we?” he says getting out of the car.

“Well, I wanted to make my last day here before my trip special. And so I devised a plan to kidnap you and bring you here.”

“Ok, I’ll admit that I like the surprise. “

“I knew you would.”

“Don’t be so cocky,” he says laughing and putting his arm around my waist as I walk towards him.

I smile then kiss his lips and open the trunk area to get out the blanket and food.

I couldn’t be happier than I was at this moment and I knew that in 24 hours I would trade this heaven for hell on Earth.
