Conner was so lost mentally by what was going on his body went to auto pilot and kissed Felicia back. However, when things began to pick up, he snapped back to reality and pulled away confusing Felicia.
"Conner what are you-?" She asked voice a little sultry. He put a finger to her lips to shush her.
"Its not right, its too soon." He said to her. She was confused before she realized what he was talking about. He sighed and removed his finger.
"I Have to say, you know how to do the right thing, for someone else." She admitted an embarrassing blush on her cheeks. "But um, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure." He said knowing Felicia probably would keep it professional.
"Between you and me. What do you see yourself doing after your thieving career?" She proposed to him.
'At least she's not asking if I'd go all the way.' He thought to himself. "Felicia, when we're older, had more time to know each other better than our files give us, and we were dead set on being married. I would start a family with you. But as of Right now? I am young dumb and reckless and I don't want people to be hurt because of what I've done. So, I would love to make you mine forever, but I'm just not all that ready for that responsibility yet. I hope you understand but I will say one thing right now. I love you Felicia." He said as he circled around her then put his hands on her shoulders and looked her dead in the eye.
"Conner… That's all I ask. I will admit that I was caught up in this moment, but please don't leave me alone." She asked tears brimming at her eyes.
"Miss Marino, I would never. But I will ask you a favor." He said wiping her eyes of her tears. She smiled at him.
"I Shouldn't but, what is it?" she smiled looking at him.
"What do you know about my father's return from Egypt?" He asked. "I mean if you don't want to…"
"Its fine Ringtail." She said in a flirtatious manner and went to sit down. "Take a seat this is going be a while." Before Conner could comment she began her story. "Well, there were many theories running about the Police Academy but the somewhat consensus in all of them is that your Aunt Penelope was trying to get your Uncle Bentley to join her, but in a freak accident she had been stripped of her dark negativity."
"That would explain her always cheerful attitude." Conner Mused always wondering why she never seemed to be too angry or upset when he or his siblings would do something that would dent something.
"Anyways, her negativity was so strong It held its own form then it possessed Your Uncle Murray and he sent the gang back to Egypt." She said.
"Ok so that makes some sense. I'm going to guess that trying to go back would make things bad." He asked. She nodded.
"Most likely, there's a small chance you could fix things by going back. But I don't want to be in your mothers' shoes…" she said quietly. Conner understood he cupped her cheek.
"Hey look at me…" He said in a calm soothing voice. She did as he said. He kissed her forehead and booped her nose. "If anything, id try to be in a place with my ancestor to help you find me as quickly as possible."
"I don't deserve you. Coopers seem to know how to make anyone see a different side to things." She said smiling and leaning on his chest.
"Hey, Felicia?" he asked. 'She looks so comfortable.' He thought
"Yeah Conner?" she looked up at him. 'He is so comfy, and his heartbeat is so soothing'
"Would you like to visit my family on Christmas?" he asked her. This was surprising to hear to Felicia.
"Y-y-you want me to be with your family on Christmas?' She stuttered out her question.
"Of course, My mother was an Interpol agent, I think you would be accepted. My dad will be very teasing, so keep your wits and you'll be fine." He smiled. She smiled and yawned. "Hey, where do you live?"
"Why you wanna know?" she asked tiredly.
"I want to be a gentleman and make sure your home safe." He said voice giving concern.
"Ok." She said dejectedly. "I live down the block." He didn't tease her, he didn't even bring up anything, like he wanted her to tell him how far he can take it. "Go ahead, tease me."
"Would saying What's a girl of your talents living in this area be teasing?" he asked her curiously.
"Not in your case. I'm not from a good family, financially not…" she said.
"I got what you mean. I need to check with my family but I think we'd be happy to have you." He said. "Consider this an early Christmas present from me to you." He smiled and kissed her.
She kissed back. "Are you sure I won't be a burden?"
"You have a job. You're not going harm us, er- the rest of my family at least." He smiled. She nodded.
"if you say so… Can I go home now?" she asked like a little kid.
"Of course, Mi Amore." He said as he picked her up and held her bridal style. She blushed but was too embarrassed to complain. She just curled up into him as he leapt from rooftop to rooftop until they were at her place.
