"Is he…" I managed to choke out a minor whisper. I wasn't too sure if Jai realized that my major fail at an attempt to ask a question was directed to him. I couldn't take not knowing Ben's faith, so I tried to muster up the courage, and try again.
"Jai, Is he… is he…gone?" This time I managed to make voice a bit louder than a whisper. Now if only he can respond to me, that would be great.
"Jai!" Ok what is up with him? I just watched my ex-boyfriend get shot and killed in front of me. I really cannot handle someone else who I actually care about be hurt here. Ben was great but he was not trustworthy on anyone's behalf. He put work first before anyone else. Even though Jai does the same thing, I feel as if he's different. I feel like it is all a guise covering how he really feels about his job and his dad. No one ever talks to their dad just because he/she doesn't like their morals, when in fact they have the same morals. Ok Annie, your thoughts are wondering back in forth again, come on focus. You like him, just tell him already. Ok I can do this, girl up already. Ok on the count of three. One…. Two…..Three. Ok maybe four. Three…Four!
Annie finally mustered up the little bit of courage that she had and curled herself up against Jai. Jai mindlessly held onto Annie as if his life depended on it. He wanted her to know that he was here for her before he finally delivered the news that they both knew to be true.
"Yes. He's gone." Jai finally said a minute after Annie first asked the question. "Annie I have to confess something to you." Jai murmurs into Annie's ear as he cradles her, rocking her back and forth, back and forth. "I've been in love with you ever since you came to the CIA. I thought you were beautiful ever since I first saw you in Sri Lanka three years ago, when you first met Ben. I was his handler on a case. I have to admit though that Author assigned you as my op, to see if you being in the agency would attract Ben back into the spotlight. I'm sorry."
"Thank you." Annie says purposely a minute after Jai did his confession. I might as well make him sweat; make him think that I'm totally pissed at him. When in truth I'm not, I'm just trying to mentally repair myself from that. What was that? Gosh I really was not ready for that. I think I just fell deeper for him. Oh my gosh, I am irrevocably in love with Jai, and he's in love with me! Whoa this is crazy. Ok Annie respond back to him, now! Unless he's going to think that you hate him. "I appreciate your honesty. In truth I'm in love with you too. And I don't want to hold that against you anymore because you know, it could all go away so quick."
"I know. Go out with me, Annie?"
"I thought you would never ask." Annie says. Jai turns Annie around and moves in to kiss her. While deepening and escalating the passion of the kiss it wasn't until they both departed for air that they both noticed that they needed the other in their life.
A.N. What do you guys think? I know its really short and I promise to have more up soon. Scout honor!
