So I apologise for not updating sooner, but the weather is just so amazing. As I said before: It's like 25 degrees, in Ireland, in March. So I have been doing a lot of outdoor activities. I even got sun-burnt (and head stroke) so that also explains the slow update. Oh and a shout out to a fellow Irish woman (I'm guessing you're girl, if I'm wrong them soz love) Gosh1991. Anyway…
Michael crept up behind the wall. There was a group of agents inside. MI6. And Cassandra was with them. He was still baffled at how she would put her life and Max's in danger, all for Gogol? There had to be more to it than that. He needed answers, and he knew how to get them.
One of the agents walked out past Michael. He followed him. He was walking briskly down the street after a man with a briefcase. They were heading towards Zetrov headquarters. Michael followed him from a safe distance until they went down a dark alleyway. The man that was being tailed by the MI6 agent, pulled a gun, but it was kicked out of his hand by Nikita.
She got into a fight with the man, and the MI6 agent tried to shoot her. Michael was shocked at Nikita's arrival, but he knocked the MI6 agent down. They were rolling on the ground wrestling taking punches on each other. Nikita managed to shoot the man she was fighting and Michael ran over to her.
"What are you doing here?" Nikita smiled "Helping you. And hey, don't ever run off like that again, you had us worried" Michael raised an eyebrow "Us?"
Nikita nodded "Us as in Alex, Sean and I". "I didn't realise that the kids worried about us when they're so hell bent on finding Mommy" he said angrily.
"Don't talk about them that way. Alex deserves to find her mother, and Sean has helped us a lot. So quit it!" shouted Nikita as the MI6 agent approached.
"Who are you? Americans?" asked the agent. Michael glanced at Nikita "CIA". "What are you doing here?" asked the agent. Michael bent down and picked up the briefcase "Same reason as you".
The agent started waving his hands "Whoa whoa whoa wait! That's mine!" "Well now it's ours" "How'd you figure that?" "There's two of us and only one of you" said Nikita as she winked at the agent.
Nikita and Michael arrived in the door of the hotel room. Sean welcomed them in and while the boys were talking, Nikita looked around the suite. Alex appeared from the bedroom. Her face lit up at the sight of Nikita. She ran over to hug her.
"It's so good to see you!" she said while holding Nikita tight. "I only saw you a few hours ago" laughed Nikita. "I know. I just hate being away from you" Alex said quietly so the boys wouldn't hear.
Nikita's heart skipped a beat hearing that. She didn't know how to respond. Then Michael came over holding an envelope.
"This was outside your door" Alex let go of Nikita and took the envelope from his hand. "Fan mail?" asked Sean. Alex shook her head and smiled at Sean, then asked Michael "How did things go with Cassandra? Did you stop the hit?"
"For now, that's why we're here to help you take Semak down, since, you know, we're in the neighbourhood" smiled Nikita.
Alex read the envelope and looked up excited "I did an interview and subtly contacted my mother. It worked. She wants to meet in our family's cabin".
"I'm so happy for you" cried Nikita throwing her arms around Alex. Michael rose an eyebrow "Um, I'm going to get some take-out. Anybody want some?" "Hell yeah! I'll go with you" said Sean excited.
"What about you two?" asked Michael.
Nikita smiled "I'll eat anything" Alex nodded her head "Same".
"We'll be back soon so" he said as he walked out the door. "I wouldn't mind Chinese?" mentioned Sean casually. "Chinese it is then" said Michael. Just before he closed the door and when Sean had left the room Michael turned to Nikita smiling and said "What was that about not being a kid?" Nikita rolled her eyes.
"Kid? That's a bit harsh" smiled Alex. Nikita just laughed. They were completely alone now. No Sean, no Michael, no Birkhoff. It was just Alex and Nikita, and they were happy about this.
Alex took Nikita's hand and looked into her eyes. She looked scared. Nikita held Alex's face with her hand to comfort her. She didn't know why she did this, but it felt right.
Alex opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again. "What's wrong?" asked Nikita, still holding Alex's face with her hand but now caressing her cheek with her thumb.
Alex closed her eyes and dropped her head. "Alex, what is it?" asked Nikita worried.
"I really like that" Nikita furrowed her brow "Like what?" "I like that, what you're doing, rubbing my cheek. It feels nice" her heart skipped another beat.
"I don't know how to tell you this, but for the past...For a long time, I've been feeling something..." Alex was interrupted by her phone. She ignored it but it kept ringing. She rolled her eyes and answered it.
It was Ari. He was informing her that Semak was dead. When she put down the phone, Nikita rushed over to her.
"Who was that?" she asked frantically. "Ari" replied Alex. "What did he say?" asked Nikita looking at Alex strangely.
"Semak is dead" Nikita smiled but then looked at Alex confused. "I thought that is what you wanted?" Alex nodded "I guess I thought I would feel happier, but I just feel..." "Empty?" interrupted Nikita "Revenge is never what you think it would be".
Alex sat down on the couch, and Nikita took a seat beside her. She placed her hand on Alex's lap and looked into her eyes. Instead of saying anything, she moved in closer to Alex and took her face in her hand. She gently caressed Alex's cheek with her thumb once again, and then pulled her face in close to her own. Staring at her mouth, she brushed her lips lightly against Alex's before she kissed her passionately.
Alex also moved her hand to Nikita's face as they kissed. Her other hand wrapped itself around Nikita's waist and held her so carefully like she was a going to crumble without appropriate care.
Alex was resting on Nikita now, their kisses getting more aggressive. They needed air but both refused to stop. Nikita's hand got tangled in Alex's hair, while the other was still holding her face close to her.
Alex's hand trailed from Nikita's face, down her shoulder and around to her back. She rubbed the small of her back and her other hand went down to Nikita's thigh. She pulled Nikita's legs up around her waist and started kissing her neck.
They were locked in an emotional and passionate trance and they weren't going to willingly get out of it anytime soon. Nikita had a surge of adrenaline run through her and she sat up, with her legs still wrapped around Alex's waist. She began to lift up the younger girl's top over her head, and threw it across the room. When Alex was going to do the same, they heard voices from outside the door.
Sean and Michael were back with the food. The girls snapped out of the trance and realised where they were. Alex jumped off the couch and ran into the bedroom. Nikita straightened herself up just as the door opened.
"Sorry we took so long, but the seal over here wanted to go to the buffet" said Michael stressing the word 'seal'. "I was hungry, and it's better value and better selection" said Sean defensively.
Michael looked around the room "Where's Alex?" Nikita's heart started racing "She's in the bedroom" Nikita looked very composed. She was good for keeping a straight face under pressure.
Sean walked over to the table and sat down. He passed by Alex's top on the ground. Nikita walked casually over to it. Alex came out of the bedroom. Her hair was still a bit messy from Nikita's hands getting tangled in it. Nikita smiled to herself at this sight.
"We've got food. Help your-self before the seal takes it" said Michael pointing over to Sean. "Hey! Stop calling me the seal!" snapped Sean. "Why? You are a Navy Seal, aren't you?" said Michael.
While they were fighting Nikita picked up Alex's top and threw it to her. Alex threw it back to her room. When she turned around both Michael and Sean were staring at her.
"What was that all about?" asked Michael raising and eyebrow. Alex looked startled "I uh..." "Was showing me one of her tops: She wanted to know if it went with her jeans" interrupted Nikita.
"But why did she change her top?" asked Sean. Alex's eyes nearly shot out of her head. She could usually keep cool under pressure, but for some reason, she wasn't able to right now.
"Because it didn't go with the jeans" said Nikita calmly. Alex nodded her head. "Well I thought it was fine" said Sean. "Men" said Nikita smiling at Alex.
"Women: I'll never understand them" said Sean shaking his head. "You'll never understand anything Seal" said Michael.
So again, I'm really sorry for the wait. It wasn't a great chapter, but it was better than some. And a bit of disappointing news for you the readers: I'm going away for Easter, so this may be the last post for two weeks. Now don't kill me, I'll update as soon as I get back. And guys...Please Review!
