A/N: So I'm not gonna lie I've been finding it very hard to get into the state of mind of writing this but I did it. However this is more of a filler and doesn't have much of a purpose than to be cute and help transition.

*Three Months Later*

*Lola's P.O.V*

I waited excitedly by the coast for the ship I sincerely hoped would appear soon. Well actually I was up on the cliff, sitting behind a crumbling pillar. For the last three months I've been doing accelerated training. Ah Tabai wasn't sure when my purpose here would become clear but he felt that it would be best if I trained at a faster pace than other trainees just in case anything happened. James set sail a little over a month ago and we received word that he would be returning soon. I don't know how I knew he would be arriving today but I was sure that it would happen. Before he left he took it upon himself to personally train me in sword fighting. I'm not the best fighter there is but I can hold my own now. Mamí took over teaching me combat and Papí took over teaching me everything else that an assassin should know how to do. I still suck at hand to hand combat but I'm doing pretty well in the other aspects of my training. I've almost mastered free running but I just have pace myself to make sure I don't fall to my death by accident. I'm also very good with pistols, probably because of all the shooting games I played at home.

At first James was completely against me becoming an assassin but when Ah Tabai suggested that he help train me he became my reluctant instructor. His rationale was that if he could in some way make sure I was fully trained that I wouldn't die. Up until he left we practiced sword fighting and tracking on a daily basis and even after he was gone I had Mamí take his place as my sparring partner. I planned on surprising him with my progress but I might not have the time. It's already midday and I've been waiting for hours but there's not sight of his ship from my vantage point.

"Lolita, are you okay?" Mamí asked walking towards me. I had unconsciously started pouting as I got lost in my thoughts.

"Sí Mamí. Pero I'm starting to think he's never going to come. I really thought today was going to be the day." I whined.

"Lolita, it's barely past lunch. Give him some time mija. There's eleven more hours in the day." Mamí laughed at me.

"I know but if he's not here by now chances are he's not gonna be here today. I wanted to show him what I learned from you and Papí. At this rate even if he does show up today I probably won't have the time to show him." I turned to her and scowled. She was extremely amused by my situation and it was annoying me.

"Someone's in love~" Mamí sang. I sighed gustily and got up.

"I'll see you later Mamí. I'm gonna go and practice throwing knives or something." I said and sulkily started walking to the ledge of the cliff.

"You go ahead and do that Lolita. I'll just tell James to find you tomorrow." I froze and turned to her in confusion.

"What are y-" I started but was cut off by a hand on my shoulder.

"I see someone missed me." A familiarly smug voice announced from behind me. I spun around and gapped at James' smirking face.

"¿Qué? ¿Pero cuándo llegaste?" I asked.

"I've been here for hours." He shrugged.

"¡Tú bastardo! I've been waiting for you all day and you're just now coming to me!" I hissed angrily. He chuckled at my outburst and took a step towards me.

"Relax-" He reached out for me but I slapped his hand away.

"No! Don't touch me! I don't want to see you right now!" I stomped to the cliff edge and sky dived into a bed of hay. I took off running in the direction of the forest. I knew James would follow me and when he couldn't find me in the trees he would be worried but I was too pissed to care at this point.

"LOLA!" He yelled from behind me. I ignored him and ran straight into the forest. When I put enough distance between us I decided to change directs twice, just to make he wasn't still tailing me. The first thing I did when I felt safe was climb into a tree, I needed a vantage point. I swiftly yet carefully made my way from branch to branch, keeping my ears open for any footsteps. I kept moving until I reached the edge of a clearing. I stopped on the outer most tree and climbed into the leafy part of the tree and waited. It wasn't long before I heard James' voice.

"I can't believe I lost her! What the hell was she thinking running off like that? Jaysus! I really need t' find her before something happens." He spoke to himself while running through the trees. I smirked and decided to watch him panic. He was running blindly right now I think his worry was getting to him because he nearly fell a few times and he looked shocked every single time as if that had never happened before. After a while I started to feel guilty that I was causing him so much grief and was just enjoying his worry. I sighed and went a branch, by this paint James' was too distraught to keep running and stood looking around. I was in a different tree not too far away but a branch higher than him. I noticed that there was a bed of leaves not too far away from the tree he was in and an evil idea started to form. A mischievous smile came onto my face and I prepared to leap.

"JAMES!" I yelled. He turned to me and that's when I leaped. His eyes widened when he realized what I was doing. I had thrown myself at him and knocked him out of the tree. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he held my waist while we free fell into the leaf pile. I laughed when he breathed in relief at the safe landing.

"Why?"I pulled back and sat up in his lap. He kept his arms around me and I blushed at just how unreal he looked. He was gorgeous. His hair was slightly skewed and his eyes were bright as they reflected the light from the sun. His jaw was set and he glared at me but it wasn't very effective because his hands were caressing the skin on my lower back. Honestly all it did was make him even hotter and if I didn't know he was trying to intimidate me I would classify it as a smolder. I hesitated for a moment before leaning down and placing a quick shy kiss on his lips. I blushed brightly and looked away from him.

"Because I missed you. I wanted to be the first person you saw when you arrived so I waited for you everyday." I mumbled. I toyed with the edge of his coat and hid my face behind my hair. He was quiet for a while and when he started to sit up I tensed up out of fear. He grabbed my chin and pulled me into a kiss at first it was chaste and gentle but it was long before it turned heated. His lips and tongue and brought me to a state of mindless lust. I clawed at his back and tried to push myself as close to him as possible. His hands had dipped down and grabbed my ass, squeezing and caressing. One of his hands moved up to my hair and in a tight grip pulled me back to take in air. I moaned pitifully at the loss of sensation and panted with my eyes half lidded. Our lips were literally centimeters apart and I felt a need to reconnect our lips but his hand in my hair wouldn't let me. I whined out of frustration and tried to remove his hand from my hair but he took up marking my neck before I could put any strength into my efforts. I let out a surprised gasp and whimpered at the pleasurable sensation. Once there was a well developed mark on my skin he just kissed me and kept me pressed against him.

"I missed ye too, love. I'm sorry I didn't come straight to ye but I had t' meet with Ah Tabai first and that took longer than I thought it would. I promise next time if ye don't find me first I'll come to you first." He whispered against my skin. I smiled breathlessly and went to speak but that was cut off by a moan when he latched onto my neck once again.

"James~" I moaned out loud when he came across my sweet spot and arched into him.

"I need ye t' promise me something." He whispered in my ear.

"What?" I asked halfway out of my mind with pleasure.

"I can't tell you. Ye have to agree first." He responded and then started nibbling the shell of my ear.

"Uh-" I couldn't properly answer.

"Just say yes Lola. I promise it's nothing bad." He husked into my ear and moved to press a quick chaste kiss to my lips. I tried to deepen it but he pulled away and kept a firm grip of my hair. I groaned and nodded my head.

"Whatever it is I promise." I mumbled and he smiled sweetly at me.

"Promise me that ye won't go on any missions without me and the next time I set sail ye'll come with me." He said. I found his concern for me kind of cute but I found his request for me to come with to be the sweetest thing ever.

"I thought you only wanted me to promise you one thing." I whined playfully.

"Lola." He growled.

"Fine. I promise I won't take any missions without you and I'll go with you next time you set sail. Happy now?"

"Yes." That was all he said before I ended on my back with his lips against my neck and his hands up my shirt.

"JAMES!" I yelled out in surprise. He removed himself from my neck and laughed at my expression.

"I missed this." He said once he stopped laughing.

"Me too." I answered. James lowered himself until he was level with my breast and made himself comfortable. It was long before we both passed out.
