Chapter 4
New in Town
Siluca is awakened by a familiar poking, this time on her upper hip, she investigated what it was because she remembered the last time it was his elbow on her back as they lay awake in the darnest strange positions, she has a habit to move around her sleep and he would hold her off to avoid falling over in the middle of the night even when they would put a pillow division for their space but would still end up cuddling in the morning.
Reaching behind her since she would not move from the tight grip Theo is holding her she started to feel what it was until she applied pressure and gripped it tightly.
She was then replied with a long dragging moan from the man behind her and started run her palm to it until she held the tip, blushing she knew what it was immediately after being a medical person knowing human biology.
"Are you enjoying torturing me? Can you loosen it up a bit?" he groaned while she slowly removed her hand, she almost breathe in words the measurements.
"Sorry…" she tried to turn and he loosened up his hold and let her settle on his bicep.
"The division pillow did not work either" she sighed.
"I'll just sleep at the sofa" he offered sighing.
"No… it's okay… I mean… it's not that bad" she blushed.
"But… I'm poking you every morning does that not bother you?" she blushed at the truth.
"I-it is not your fault" she blushed and lowered her head and buried her face on his arm, he wanted to chuckle but he only sighed.
She made breakfast for him as she wanted to make up for what she did earlier, heading down with only his shorts on, body still wet from bath, "Thank you" he took the plate she handed him, for almost a week they have been together she knew he eats a lot since he cooks a lot as well and would serve her the same amount he eat.
His plate full of sausage, scrambled eggs, tomatoes and mushroom that he likes is sautéed, he happily ate while she looked at him eating his food, with her own sweet pancake breakfast, "Want some?" he asked holding out his fork to her with bacon and eggs.
"You really like everything on eggs" she mused and took a bite to it, "Hmmn! This is good!" she said, even though she cooked it, she never ate those kind of food together.
Shortly after she is the one eating his food and he's more than happy to share his fork with her, hearing their doorbell, he let her finish off his food and headed to see who it was and to his shock it was their target, he felt alert and prayed that his partner would not see who it was until she came bounding on his heel smiling asking who it was, her face turned serious seeing him but played the innocent card.
Taking hold of her husband's arm, "Your friend?" she asked Theo who played along knowing what she's doing.
"I would not say that" he chuckled, "And I think he is our neighbor?" he inquired.
"Certainly I am, I live just beside your place" his rusty baritone voice sounded, "I never formally welcome you to our neighborhood, my name is Mirza by the way" he offered his hand.
Theo took it, "My name is Theo and this is my wife Siluca, we're the Cornaros" he naturally told like they had been married for years, he held her hand tightly and immediately pulled her close trying to protect her not letting his guards down.
"Easy there, man…" he chuckled, "I'm not sealing your wife considering she's certainly attached to you" he teased and she blushed.
"Well, my bad… I'm a jealous man" he joked back hoping Mirza would buy it.
"I noticed you've been dropping her off too" added Mirza.
"Well, there is this guy in her work place that I don't like very much and would be willing to stuff his brain and other organs like sausage to his intestine" said Theo out of irritation.
"Well, if you wanted to do it, I'll help you out" Theo just took that as a joke from their target and happy that he bought it, "Well it seemed I'm disturbing you both, I'll take my leave, and welcome by the way" he patted the younger man on his shoulder and turned his back.
Theo closed their door and sighed, "Are you serious?" she looked at him shocked after hearing the stuffing the organs on the man's guts.
"I was serious with my threat actually, it's not the first I would do that to a man" she looked at him wide eyes, "I've been through a lot" he said.
Letting that conversation go and not thinking about it, they headed back to finish eating and she felt guilty eating all his food, "Here" she offered her own pancake and fed him.
"Work today?" she asked.
"Later the afternoon till the morning, I got the night shift" she looked sad knowing she'll have to watch her favorite series alone again.
"It's my day off today…" she said, "Maybe I can do some house work and cleaning up the garden"
"Well, I have to clean the cars" he told.
"Can I help you then?" she asked.
"Sure… you'll do the hose, I'll do the scrubbing" he chuckled, "Besides, I wanted to stay out and observe further what this neighborhood is has and knowing the target he knocked out of the blue to see what we are" she nodded, "Don't ever let your guard down" he warned her.
"We looked like a normal couple, and I think he bought what you said earlier" she argued.
"Please, don't let your guard down, promise me?" he said worriedly.
"I understand… and I will" she can't blame him.
"Now then there are cars waiting to be washed" he said and worn a shirt.
Heading to the front yard, backing up his truck and her white car, it was a surprise that the paints of their vehicle also match which makes a good cover.
With bucket full of foamy soap on her hand she beat him to it until he tricked her with holding the hose and on cue he immediately took the sponge and laughed started to sponge her car first.
"No fair!" she pouted.
"I told you I would never let you lift your hands when I can do things" he teased and with her upset she blasted him with water making him wet. With his white shirt drenched and now hugging his figure. His washboard abdomen forming under his drenched shirt, laughing he caught her from behind and lifted her up hugging her tightly making her wet as well, both laughed when he squeezed the foamy sponge on her, with squeals and shrieks from her, when both had enough he took his shirt off only to be stared at by some housewives around the area, she noticed after some woman watering her plants outside stared at him intensely.
She pouted and handed him his drenched shirt, "Just wear it" and stomped her foot going in.
"What's with her?" he thought and sighed remembering her tantrums, he heard a familiar voice.
"Looks like you're not the only jealous one in your marriage~" called by Mirza leaning in from his balcony.
Looking around Theo noticed the eyes looking at him, he chuckled and nodded at their target in acknowledgement and headed in leaving the washing materials.
"Are you mad?" he asked, "I'm sorry if I did anything wrong"
"It's okay" she sighed, "You did nothing wrong, "Have you found anything?"
"I found I'm not safe with all those women around" she giggled with that.
"I'll take care of that" she continued to giggle.
"Now that reminds me…" Theo run up to their room to change and get his tablet.
It was an ordinary looking one and Siluca scooted closer to look what he is doing, she looked surprised to see the communication contents is highly military advanced, he explained to her that the device acts like an ordinary tablet however when his hand print touches the exterior the pass code activates and opens a hidden application which gives him access to military contacts and data base, "I need to make a report that I made contact with the target, they must need to know we had contact for them to get us people for back up, other agents who will join the undercover to give us some back up just in case" he taught her some few undercover tips.
"You've been doing this a lot have you?" she asked.
"I do, some are like walk in the park, some don't. This mission I don't know yet since I don't know who his correspondence is. But once I know I'll make extra measures" he looked at her in all seriousness.
"Let's make lunch before you go, I'll cook since you took the sponge from me earlier" she pouted.
He chuckled and let her cook.
Finally dressing up in his uniform, she walked with him up to the yard and she pouted, Theo looked around seeing their target surrounded with his own men reading papers from his second floor balcony sipping tea.
Getting his attention back to his pouting partner, to her surprise he made a move and kissed her, holding her by the waist, "I'll see you tomorrow" he smiled and she played along hugging him tight.
To her surprise he took her SUV instead of his own truck, "I know you fancy my car than yours he chuckled"
"If he lets you use his things that means he's a keeper dear~" one lady from across the street giggled seeing them do public affection, he chuckled and gave her a peck on the lips one more time and took her car.
After he arrived in his post he sent her a text that he planted some device to guard her now that their target made contact with them and acknowledge them.
She felt at ease when he calls her and ask how she's doing, little did they know their communication is wiretapped by their respective offices and would muse to their acting which is very much convincing.
The morning she groaned pouting missing the warmth behind her, jumping out of bed she prepared for work, when she was about to go her phone vibrated seeing Theo greeted her good morning and bit her take care knowing he knows her schedule, she smiled and stepped in the huge truck.
Arriving at her work place, she was about to park on her reserved space when some jerks decided to park their ford mustang laughing that they could easily bully the Doctor named Siluca Cornaro reading her name at the sign.
She sighed and startled them with the loud horn of the fully equipped custom 4x4 truck that's ready to run over their own vehicle.
Both looked pissed they had the audacity to climb on the rail of the truck and knock on her window, "Hey! What's the big idea!" one complained.
The big idea is you're stealing my spot" and it drowned to them that she's the Doctor that owns the spot, they smirked and planned on something, Siluca sensing it she closed the window and started to call Theo.
Shortly he was there with some guys with him, his station is just few blocks away from her hospital and on an instant he was there with some familiar men, Siluca mused he asked for assembly with his own team as his back up and now works at the fire department with him.
The two guys looked at Theo, "And who might you be?" they poked at his chest.
"Her husband" with that he started raging and pulverized their faces until his laughing team restrained him, "Damn shit, capt'n got them good!" laughed by the tall bulky blonde.
"C'mon Lassic, he's in love what can we do?" laughed by another trying to hold their raging captain off.
"It's okay now" said by Siluca hugging his torso calming him down, "I guess they learned their lesson never to park at someone's space now" she said after thinking the last few days that her spot had been taken.
"How come you never told me about this?" he asked.
"I thought it was never that bad, until they started to or somehow tried to scratch your truck, but never seemed to scratch it" looking at the spotless vehicle, "Your paint is tough" she pointed.
"Woah! Captain's favorite car is being used by you! He never let us even drive it let alone letting you somehow own it!" pointed by Neyman.
"Now that you said it… Captain never acts like this" thought of the frail looking man named Petol from his name patch.
Another blared in laughter, Siluca saw him for the first time, he is bald and huge with a name patch identifying him as Gluck.
Dragging two bodies in the hospital, "You bastards are lucky to be just outside the Hospital" laughed by a man named Moreno.
Siluca dragged Theo by pulling his hand with their fingers linked like there had been lovers for a long time with familiarity.
Walking in the lobby, poor Dr. Mesto who was peacefully walking by spotted the fire chief with his men while the huge bald man carrying two dead looking bodies under his arms, eyes wide he tripped and made a quick 'U' turn running for his life thinking the man is out to kill him, "What did you do to terrorize more people?" immediately an old man entered sighing.
"She happened" he pointed at Siluca.
"Easy with your protectiveness and jealousy, you might kill civilians" he chuckled.
"By the way Field Commander, are you here for check up?" asked Theo to the old man.
"Considering my age, yes. Besides I still want to see the future child of my favorite student" he chuckled winking at Theo who only chuckled and shook his head, Siluca seemed confused and he told her that it was his mentor, Major General Satorus, immediately she politely greeted him in respect.
When he left another doctor came in and he was identified as Dr. Sevis, an old man who tries to play like a young play boy it did not help when he took hold of Siluca and winked at her, so this is your husband?" he looked at him head to toe, Theo's men is amused wanting to see his rage in another level.
"Why not come with me I'll teach you experience~ and I might satisfy you as well" he cooed at her Theo is about to launch himself to the older man until she spoke.
"Twenty two by nineteen centimeter" Theo got the message and he tripped, others were still looking at her weirdly until she continued, "His circumference by the way" after that Theo's companions laughed.
"She's a physician" hiding the tent of pink on is face, the old man looked at the young man in front of him.
"So I bet you could not top that without using medication" she snorted, and took his arms off and pulled Theo's and draped it around her shoulder replacing the filthy old man's arm with her husband's.
"Next time you flirt with her there will be two people I'll be castrating and organs stuffing like a sheep sausage in their intestines do you understand" he threatened the old man.
"Considering Gluck has still space under his arm, I think even with that chance you would not be able to reach the ER" laughed by their team's medic Moreno.
Nyeman with Petol are wheezing after hearing the Doctor spoke of their captain's circumference, "Guys at the office will have a field day when they know you're wrapped around her fingers" Lassic said out of breath from laughing.
After dropping the two bodies at the ER Siluca spoke to him privately and apologized after what she said making him embarrassed, "It's okay, at least you got it right he blushed looking away.
Knowing that he will be heading home already she bid her goodbyes walking with him to the lobby sending him home, showing their act as a married couple he leaned in for a kiss and she responded as they would always, and polishing their act as they practice every time they are out.
Later that afternoon when she arrived home, he cleaned everything and even prepared dinner for them to eat immediately and spend the night watching her favorite who in their room.
