Chapter Seven-

POV- Nikita

I probably looked like a mess but it didn't matter. I had gotten back from my fail confrontation with Michael. I was working on a way to help Alex out with protecting Nathan. At the same time, the look of hurt on Michael's face as he ran away kept popping up in my mind. That's when Alex called.

"Hey sensei how'd it go?"

"Like usual minus the blaring guns and an extra dose of betrayal."

"Want to talk about it?"

"No I'm actually working on the Nathan problem. I think I have a solution."

I could feel her excitement on the other line "Really? Thanks so much! What are you going to do? "

"Don't worry about it Alex. It might take a few days but I'll keep him safe. At least one happy couple will survive."

"What's that last part?"

"Nothing, I gotta go read over Intel." I hope she wouldn't over think my little slip up.

"Okay take care. Bye"

"Bye."

I closed my computer and sat there and stared at the blank screen. I hadn't noticed that there was anyone in the room until I heard the footsteps.

"You were right."

The voice was one that I would recognize anywhere. My heartbeat escalated at the sound of it.

"Michael?"

"I'm sorry Nikita, if I had listened to you five years ago. Things could've been different."

I turned away as he approached. I felt the tears building up. He was really close and I fought the urge to put my hand on his cheek. I didn't know he was fighting the same urge until he lost all control. He reached over and pulled me in for a kiss. His lips were soft and warm. I felt myself melting into his arms and before I knew it he had me cradled.

"Things will be different" I promised when I got the chance. I felt myself hugging him closer, feeling happiness when he pulled me in. Nothing could happen now that would ruin my mood. Nothing could ruin this perfect moment. After all these years of running and plotting, a miracle had finally occurred.

The way we held each other let me know that we would be there for each other 100%.

Okay so this was my first ever attempt to write any kind of story. Feel free to comment and give me advice. (:

Can't wait until April 7th ! Needs to get here sooner.
