She never bought any of the albums. He always bought them, but she would listen to them. They would listen to them together on the rare opportunity that they could be together. She would visit as often as she could, although both of their jobs usually prevented their union. Right now, the soothing sounds of the Rolling Stones could be heard. She decided that she liked this song, which she thought was named "Angie". They were both resting comfortably on the bed, which lay in his apartment in Washington, D.C. Her head lay on his chest, which was rising and falling with each breath he took. He looked down upon her beautiful resting form and a smile formed on his face.

"Ada." He whispered in her ear, causing her to look up at him. Her jade eyes locked with his blue eyes, and she could tell that he was struggling with the right words.

"Yes?" Ada replied softly, slightly concerned with Leon's actions. These past few months had meant everything to Ada. These visits with Leon allowed her to forget, even for a slight moment, everything that was happening in her life. They allowed her to forget about her job and Wesker, the Plagas sample and certain consequences. She wanted to be free from it all, but this was the life that she chose. She chose to be a spy, a long time ago. She chose this life which consisted of lying, cheating, deception, seduction, and stealing. She was suppose to be a cold-blooded killer devoid of any emotion. Of course that all changed in a doomed city six years ago...

"I wanted you to know how much these visits of yours have meant to me." Leon said quietly, snapping Ada out of her thoughts. He gazed into her eyes and formed a weak smile, and it looked like he wanted to say more, but the words just wouldn't come. Ada brushed a lock of her raven hair from her face and tried to figure out where Leon was going with this. When she came to her conclusion, Ada just sighed.

"Leon...I-" Ada began but was cut off by a determined Leon.

"I'll put it plainly. I don't want you to go. I don't want you to leave." Leon stated in his husky tone. Ada groaned and rolled her eyes. She then stood up, and slipped back into her signature red dress, startling Leon. He began to think that maybe he shouldn't have said that. Ada's eyes however portrayed a different matter. She was struggling to keep her emotions in check. All she wanted to do was stay in Leon's warm arms, caressing his soft strawberry blonde hair, while listening to the soft melody play on his radio. However, want and need are two separate issues. As much as she wanted to be with Leon, neither of them needed any of the backlash that may result. Leon was too lovestruck to see the possible consequences of their actions, but Ada knew better. She was going to have to be the voice of reason.

"Look Leon, if I would have known that you'd get so attached, then I never would have started this." Ada flatly stated, hoping not to devastate the blonde man too much. Leon looked down, a flash of hurt in his eyes, causing Ada to regret the statement. It was Leon's turn to get up and begin dressing. Once he slid on his navy trousers, he looked into Ada's eyes again.

"Is that all this is to you? Is that all I am to you? A textbook one night stand?" Leon asked accusingly, his eyes dancing with anger. It was Ada's turn to look down hurt before facing the man that she loved.

"I think we both know that's all we could ever have." Ada stated matter-of-factly. Leon smirked and looked everywhere except at Ada. When he was ready, he returned his gaze into her concerned eyes.

"It doesn't have to be that way Ada. You know we can have more, if you'd just let me in." Leon pleaded, grabbing her hand. Ada once again looked away. She couldn't bear to face Leon. She didn't want to see the pain in his eyes. She couldn't watch as his eyes shone in hopeful optimism. She didn't want to be the one to crush his heart...again. She felt her eyes well up, but she fought hard so as not to break down in front of the former rookie cop. Unfortunately for Ada, Leon noticed the change.

"It's okay to cry Ada...I won't judge you." Leon said sympathetically and placed his hand on Ada's shoulder, only to have her swat it away.

"I'm not crying, and even if I was, I don't need your pity." Ada stated miserably, while her emotions continued to fail her. She felt a large lump grow in her throat, and she was hit with a slight wave of nausea. It was getting hard, for both of the Raccoon City survivors. Leon just stared at the floor, trying to think of what to say next, while Ada continued the battle of supremacy with her body.

Dammit Ada, keep it together...you're stronger than this.

Suddenly, Leon took a step forward and pulled Ada into a strong embrace. She melted into his arms while he caressed her head on his shoulder. She had to admit it was quite soothing.

"Crying isn't a weakness Ada. You're only human, and guess what? All humans cry sometimes." Leon whispered into her ear, as if it was a big secret. Ada smiled to herself and inhaled deeply, taking in Leon's scent. Slowly, Leon removed his arms and studied Ada. He loved everything about her. He loved her jet black hair, and her jade eyes, which had a touch of grey. He loved her soft lips, which could curve into the most gorgeous smile he's ever seen. Right now however, she was not smiling. It looked as though she was facing an inner battle.

Maybe there's a chance...go for it Kennedy. Make her smile...

Leon grabbed her hand, drawing circles with his thumb. He moved close, and dragged his nose slowly over her cheek. Ada closed her eyes, and waited for the inevitable. He slowly pressed his lips against hers, sending a familiar jolt of electricity through her tongue that didn't stop until it reached her toes. She wrapped her arms around the nape of Leon's neck, while his hands rested on her slender waist. Without warning, Leon pulled back, leaving Ada to wonder why the hell he stopped. Leon looked deep into her stunning eyes, while his own burned with passion.

"Ada, I love you." Leon stated simply, even though it had been on his mind for six years. Ada looked at the floor, breathing deeply. She was unsure if she had actually heard him right. Leon tilted her chin up so that their eyes could once again lock.

"I've wanted to tell you that for six years. Six long, miserable years." Leon finished, attempting to gauge Ada's reaction. No one spoke for several minutes. Finally, Ada gathered the courage to break the silence.

"Leon...I...what do you want me to say? What can I say to that?" Ada asked, hopelessly. At least she was being truthful. Ada honestly didn't know what to say. If she told him she felt the same, they would get close. The United States government wouldn't like the fact that their best agent would be "sleeping with the enemy". In the same light, Wesker would be pretty pissed. Being together could cost them their lives. That would be too selfish. And it was a risk Ada wasn't willing to take, for Leon's sake. At the same time, she couldn't say she didn't feel the same, when she knew damn well that she did. That, and she refused to break his heart again. So, again they stood in silence, until Leon spoke quietly.

"Say anything...I don't care. Just say something...please." Leon pleaded, his heart thudding in his chest. It was beating so fast, he was almost sure that Ada could hear it. Ada glanced nervously at her surroundings; her instincts told her to run.

That's what I do best.

Ada thought long and hard before she made her decision. She looked into Leon's deep blue eyes, and saw the anxiety that flickered as he waited for a response. She reached towards him and brushed his strawberry blonde hair away from his face with a smile.

"Leon. I want you to know...that I-" Ada was suddenly cut off by a loud burst of beeps. She directed her glance from Leon's eyes to her thigh. There, she spotted the culprit.

"Wesker..." Leon muttered, less than ecstatic. Ada once again looked at Leon, hopelessly. All he did was exhale loudly. They both knew that this moment was coming. They were also dreading it.

"I guess this will have to wait handsome. I have to go now." Ada stated as she walked towards the bedroom door. Leon followed her to his front door before lightly grabbing her arm. She was taken aback, but quickly regained her composure.

"Yes?" she asked innocently. Leon was not in the mood for games.

"Can you at least finish what you were going to say before...you know." Leon asked, hopeful. Ada smiled coyly and placed her hand on Leon's cheek. It never ceased to amaze her how much Leon could hate someone that he didn't even know. Someone that he had never even met. Leon's eyes darted wildly over her body, trying to take her all in one more time. Slowly, Ada's hand was replaced by her lips as she landed a soft peck on his warm cheek.

"Maybe some other time..." she replied evasively, and with that, she slipped out the door. A stunned Leon plopped down onto his black leather sofa and stared at the spot where Ada was standing three seconds ago. So many thoughts were racing through his head. Why did she leave? What was she going to say? What the hell did Wesker want? Leon sat there for a few moments before looking at the door. A small grin formed on his face. With that, he grabbed his jacket and his keys, and made his way through the door.

I'm not letting you slip through my fingers again...
