A/N- This is about Nicole's relationship with James. There will be definitely be action though so yeah. First James Bond fic. SO YEAH HOPE YOU LIKE IT
Disclaimer: I do not own James Bond.
I walked through the crowded streets of London, I was from America and it was so different. But I was born in England, so I have a dual citizenship. I wasn't used to the steering wheels on the other side, or the different slang. The streets were crowded and my heels clicked on the sidewalk. I was on my way to my new job. It wasn't any old special job; I was recruited, if you want to put it that way, to join the MI6. I always wanted to get into Intelligence, more for the CIA but they didn't need me, they contacted the MI6, knowing I had dual citizenship, and told them that they had a great girl for them. Only if they needed someone else. They did. The good thing was I was pretty well trained because the CIA was going to take me in, but they couldn't. So here I am now on my why to the first day on the job.
I was nervous out of my mind. I spent two hours getting ready for this. I wore boot cut gray tweed pants, with a white short-sleeved blouse tucked in. My signature David Yurman cable bracelet with smoky quartz, and a David Yurman ring. I tied up my long dark brown hair into a loose bun, and did my makeup lightly. It was the perrrfect look. In my opinion. I finally arrived. My new work place, MI6 headquarters. I walked in with my ID and papers that allowed me to pass.
"Here is a key card to get you onto the ninth floor." The receptionist gave me a phony smile, and handed me the card.
"Okay. Here we go." I whispered to myself and stepped into the elevator. Placing the key card into the slot I waited for my floor. I kept twisting my ring, out of nervous habit. Finally the elevator door opened to the ninth floor I stepped out looking down so my heals of the shoes didn't get caught in the crack between the elevator and the floor and ran into somebody.
"I'm so sorry!" I looked up and saw the man I bumped into. Dayummm
"No, no it's quite all right." The mystery man said in a rugged, sexy British accent. His blue eyes gazing right into mine.
I automatically looked away. Awkkkkkkk. Saying awkk was so unprofessional, but still. I couldn't think of anything to say.
"You're the new girl right?" He asked picking up my awkwardness.
"Uhh.. Mmhmm. I mean yes I am." Ughh I never stutter! I mentally scolded myself.
"Bond. James Bond." He reached out his hand and I weakly took it.
Say your god damn name! I finally forced out my name, "Nicole Hoch." I grinned.
"Pleasure to meet you Ms. Hoch." He grinned, which made me melt.
"Pleasure meeting you too." I smiled back. That was the first coherent thing I have said to him.
"I hope to see you around." With that he left, and I watched dreamily as he walked into the elevator, before he turned around to press the button I turned around to be greeted my a short stern looking Woman.
"You must be Nicole Hoch." Her voice was cold.
"Yes I am." I smiled; she just glared which made my smile falter just a bit.
"I'm M. I'm the head of the MI6. You will start your training right away." She motioned me to follow her. We went into a room where I was to be trained and tested.
"I understand that you have had a fair share of training, but it is still necessary to do some training here." She said curtly and left me with the instructor.
"I'm Daniel Moore, and I will be training you." He was nicer than M already and the man only said one damn sentence to me!
"Hello, I'm Nicole Hoch." I smiled and stretched out my hand. He grasped it tightly and he began telling me everything that I would be experiencing in training.
"As M told me you are very well trained already, but MI6 does some things different from the CIA." He continued to explain what was different.
I took some tests, and did some physical stuff since I would be working out in the field. I was ready for virtually everything, but I still had to go through more of this tedious training. But, hey, I have my dream job.
I left around five o'clock going to the apartment that the MI6 gave to me. It was pretty damn nice too. I walked into my room slipping off my shoes and placing them in my closet. While walking over to my jewelry box I slipped of my ring and bracelet. I placed them into the leather box along with some other jewelry and headed to the bathroom
The bathroom tile was cold on my feet and I couldn't wait to step into the warm water. I stripped my clothes and turned on the shower, making the mistake of not waiting long enough for the water to heat.
"Ahhhhh cold, cold, cold." I shivered, and waited freezing for the shower to warm up. After lifting my hand to test the temperature of the water I stepped in. Feeling the relief and relaxing of the steaming water snake down my body. It felt good to have a good shower after a long and boring day. Once I warmed up again and was comfortable in the shower I started belting out songs. No in particular just random notes that fit together.
After singing until my throat hurt, I turned of the water and stepped outside. I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around my shivering body. Once I dried off I tied my hair back, and put on some warm pajamas. Jumped in bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Throughout the night those blue eyes were in my dreams. Just gazing.
My alarm clock went off which I slammed to shut off. Even though I was dead tired I jumped out of bed to start getting ready. If I stayed in for a couple of more minutes after the alarm I would be already back to sleep. The room was completely dark since the curtains let no light in. I liked that. I absolutely loved gray skies, I also liked blue skies, but I love the sense of coziness gray skies give.
Since I showered the night before I freshened up, putting on my makeup, and styling my hairs into big barrel curls. After doing my makeup and hair I went to put on a long sleeve blouse, and a dark gray pencil skirt with sheer black tights. I was ready for my second, and more official day of work. I grabbed my trench coat since it was raining, and my black umbrella and called for a cab.
I ran in from the pouring rain closing the umbrella before stepping inside. I flashed them my ID and headed for the elevator.
"Wait! Hold the elevator!" A man's voice called out. He through his arm through the door to stop it from closing.
"This elevator can be so damn slow, and I don't feel like waiting." The British voice explained. "Nicole right?"
The sexy rugged British guy! "Yeah, and you are… James right?" I stared into the deep blue eyes.
"James Bond." He stared right back at me. Which again made me melt. Then he pointed to the buttons, "Level nine?"
"Yup."
He turned towards me, "So are you a new field agent?"
"Yes I am." His eyes lit up when I said that.
"I'm a field agent myself, how did they find you?" He started to question me while the elevator slowly went up.
"The CIA suggested me… I have dual citizenship, British, and American."
"That's nice. So—" He cut off abruptly, while the door opened. "Well this is our floor." He motioned his hands for me to go first. "Ladies first."
"Thank you." I smiled and walked in front of him; going to the room I was yesterday for more mind-numbing training.
"Today we will be doing more physical procedures." Explained Daniel. "But first you have to change.
I changed it black leggingesque pants. They were sly, but easy to move in. A black long sleeve shirt and some unconventional black heal less boots. I had to learn to be uncomfortable in situations.
"Ready?" Daniel asked me holding a Beretta 418.
"Ready." As I answered he tossed me the Beretta. I followed him into a simulation room.
"Your objective is to kill the enemies." I put on the simulating glasses and went to work. (IN Die Another Day… Watch it).
The hallway was quiet, I kept my senses alert and walked around with my two hands on the gun hanging on the right side of my body. I started to lift by gun up so it was by my face, when I turned the corner. Just as I expected a man was there I aimed and shot. The shot rang out and it was a clear kill shot.
The virtual people were killed left and right, it got harder as I progressed but each time I was ready for whatever went down. The simulation finally came to an end, and I was exhausted.
"You are doing extraordinarily well. So M and I have talked and you will be a regular agent now. You might be possibly going on a mission sometime soon so be prepared." Daniel smiled proudly at me.
Which, I returned gratefully. "That's great! What should I do now am I finished or something?"
"Yes you can go home for the day, but be here sharp and early." With that Daniel walked away.
I went to go change back into my normal clothes, leaving the other clothes in my locker. I walked out, and weaved through the hallways filled with offices, and other rooms, with major technology and stuff. Just spyish stuff. Yeah I no, I act kinda like a kid about this stuff.
I pressed the elevator button and waited and waited. James was right it took forever. James… The mysterious rugged British guy.
"Told you this takes forever." That voice whispered in my ear. James'voice. "I've seen you tapping your foot impatiently for about five minutes."
"You're right." I smiled at him, "but I have one question?"
"And that is." He stepped closer to me.
"Why were you watching me?" I questioned challenging him with my eyes.
"Isn't that my job? Spying on people." His eyes challenged mine right back.
"Nice excuse." The elevator door opened and we both stepped in.
The rest of the way was silent, but it was a nice silence. Not an awkward silence.
The elevator reached the main level and we parted our ways, I opened the door and it was still raining. Raining was an understatement. Pouring is more like it. I took out my umbrella and opened it up stepping out into the cool rain. Getting a taxi was hard because it was rush hour and everyone was trying to get one. To top it all off it was raining.
It was later than usual when I got home, and I was freezing. I took a warm shower and headed for bed. It was late and I had to get up early the next morning.
At Six o'clock my alarm clock went off and I went through my morning routine. I through on some wide legged black pants, and a dark green silk blouse. And to complete the look I put on my signature bracelet and ring.
I walked onto the ninth floor around seven thirty, where a woman stood waiting for me. She had short, blond hair, and was about my age.
"Ms. Hoch?" The girl asked….
"Yes?"
"May you please follow me? M is waiting for you in her office." She said kindly.
As we were walking she turned to me, "If I were you I would stay away from James. He is kind of, I don't know. A man whore?" She laughed a little.
"Wait what?" Of course, I always seem to fall for the assholes, and man whores. WHYYYY!
"Yeah he sleeps around a lot. I see he was trying to play you. He had me two years ago. But I'm happily married now, and way over it." She lifted her hand to show the huge rock on her ring finger. "I don't know if he actually likes you, it's a possibility, you're different from us Brits. You're American. But I am just telling you to watch out."
I liked this girl, I was happy that she warned me, but a little disappointed to find out that this sexy man was of course a man whore. "Thanks for telling me this. I really appreciate it." Which I really did, I was thankful for her for warning me, so I wouldn't make a fool out of myself. "Oh, I didn't catch you name before."
"Money Penny. I'm so used to my that name now that I don't respond to my real name." She smiled warmly at her.
"Nice to meet you Money Penny I'm Nicole by the way." I returned her smile; we were still walking through the labyrinth of halls.
"I no your name! It's my job." We stopped so she could open up a larger door than the others.
"What do you do here?" I stepped inside where a modern glass desk was, with a high tech computer; the room had all glass walls, and an opaque glass wall that separated this room from another.
"I'm M's personal secretary." She pointed to the opaque glass door, "M is waiting for you."
I walked over to it and knocked.
"Come in." Most likely M who called that out.
I stepped in, "Take a seat." In her usual curt tone.
"I have heard you have been doing a exceptional job in training so we sending you off to your first mission. But since you are rather new to this we are sending another agent with you. You will be joining agent 007 (double oh seven) with this mission."
"Okay." I sat there my hand folded in my lap, and my legs crossed. Just then there was a knock at the door.
"Come in 007." She called out.
"Hello M. What have we got today?" 007 AKA James came striding in. After what Money Penny had told me about him being a womanizer, man whore etcetera, I didn't really like him as much as I did. I mean I liked him that way, but I hated him also. Never a good mix.
"Oh hello Nicole." James smiled at me, which made me melt. NO do not melt, remember you got mixed up with another man whore that didn't turn out well… Ughh Nate. Horrible decision to even go out with him.
"Hello James." I didn't smile, but I said it in a semi friendly tone. James sat down next to me while M started to explain the mission.
"There has been some activity in eastern Siberia. Most likely terrorist activity. I want you two to check it out, and report back to me as soon as you find some information on this." She paused and looked at us. "You two will be leaving at six am sharp tomorrow. Be here at five thirty. You're dismissed." She went back to what she was working on prior to our debriefing.
James and I walked out silently, I smiled at Money Penny and she gave me a warm smile back. One to James too, it was the professional thing to do. We made our way through the through the halls to get to the lobby where the elevator was.
"See you here bright and early." James grinned. That sexy man whore grin…
"Do we need to pack anything?" I asked while the elevator door opened.
"Nothing at all. Everything will be here ready for you." We both walked in and I pressed the lobby level button. "They will even give you a new phone. The perks about being an agent is that you gain all of this stuff. But you always have in mind that you could be killed at a moments notice."
"Oh that's good." I answered to the first part, "and I know I have to be alert at all times, if I didn't know that I would still be in training right?" We stepped out of the elevator and walked to the lobby door.
"Right. Well, see you tomorrow at five thirty." He offered a weak smile, which I returned and we went our separate ways. No matter how much I hated man whores/ womanizers, I could not help but like him. This was not going to be good.
A/N- So sorry if some of these spy terms aren't correct, but yeah R&R please it will make my day.
