~TRINITY POV~

I was sitting in the floor in my living room when I heard the sound of Spencer's footsteps behind me. He sat down next to me and I didn't take my eyes away from the punching bag dangling in the middle of the room.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked and I looked to see that he was wearing a full suit, complete with shoes, a tie, and his bag.

I laughed and said "Running away already?"

"No, I'm going to give the team an update on you." He said and then gave me a teasing look. "You didn't answer my question."

I pulled my knees to my chest before saying "My dad."

He laid back on his elbows and waited for me to continue. I looked down at him and said "I'm wondering where he is and if he's okay."

"Why do you care?" He asked and I looked at him in shock. "I mean after he abandoned you in the bank, how can you still want the best for him?"

My look of shock faded into a soft smile. "He's still my dad, Spencer. He's always wanted what was best for me and I think that he thought I would turn him and you would let me go. That I could have a normal life and be happy."

He sat back up and looked deeply into my eyes as he asked "Why didn't you?"

"No matter what happens to me, I'm never going to be happy." I told him in a very calm manner. I didn't want to let him know how much the brutal reality of that statement broke my heart and I didn't really want to admit it to myself.

He studied me cautiously before asking "How can you be so sure?"

"Spencer, look at my life. My mother committed suicide by letting go of my hand and jumping in front of a train, my father has been robbing banks since I could remember and I've been apart of it since my mom died. I asked a gang leader for a favor that in turn raped me to save my father's life. If I were to turn my father in, that sacrifice would have been for nothing." I told him and I watched his eyes tighten at the mention of the favor that would haunt me for the rest of my life.

I'd never seen so much anger and sorrow on someone's face. My father would never know what I'd given up to save his life because I knew that the truth would kill him, in one way or another.

Spencer looked down at his feet and said "I'm so sorry, Trinity."

I don't know what made me do what I did next. I don't know if it was my longing for another person in my life, for him to lose the look of feeling sorry for me, or if I was just crazy but whatever the reason, I followed my instincts.

I place my hand beneath his chin and pressed my lips softly to his so that I wouldn't have time to convince myself to back out. He seemed to be in shock for a moment but it only lasted a moment. He tangled his hands in my hair and gave into the kiss.

While his lips were pressed to mine, I realized that this was the first time in a long time that I'd felt safe. I'd never trusted someone enough to let them touch me like he was now and I couldn't help but notice how it felt. Whether it was right or not was irrelevant but the fact that I was allowing the contact was what shocked me.

I pulled away from the kiss before it got any more passionate and put my hands on either side of his face. His brown eyes opened and seemed to be almost in a dream state as he looked at me. I rubbed my thumbs along his cheekbones and this caused him to look down.

I smiled before gently pressing my forehead to his and listened to the sound of our heavy breathing. It was so quiet and I couldn't help but revel in the silence. It was nice to not hear anything and not get lost in my thoughts.

"Trinity." He said softly and I couldn't help but give a light laugh. So much for the silence.

I backed away from him and made sure that we weren't touching in anyway before looking into his eyes. "Spencer, please don't tell me that you feel like what just happened was wrong because I'm not in the mood to debate that."

"I'm not sure what I feel when I'm around you." He said and this caused me to be quiet. It was nowhere near the reaction I'd thought he'd have. His eyes dropped to the ground and only then did he say anything else. "I know what I should feel and what I want to feel but they are two entirely different emotions. I've always been able to know my own feelings and my mind but I can't when I'm with you and it scares the hell out of me."

"Hey." I said cautiously and tilted his chin so that he didn't have a choice but to look at me. "I'm not asking for anything from you, okay? It was just a kiss. I'm not ready for anything, including that kiss. I kissed you because I wanted to, not because I want anything from you. So don't panic."

I stood up from the ground then and held a hand out to him. He took my hand but didn't let go when he stood up from the ground. He was rather tall compared to my 5'9 frame and I couldn't help but wonder why I'd never noticed it before.

Looking at him now, I couldn't help but feel my heart race and I found myself unable to take my eyes off of him. I then pulled my hand out of his and crossed my arms over my chest.

"You should go see your team. I know they are probably wondering if I've brutally killed your or tried to convince you to rob a bank by now." I told him at an attempt to break the tension.

He shrugged before saying "They will change their minds sooner or later. They just have to realize it first."

He started to walk out the door when I asked "Realize what?"

He smiled softly and said "That having more people like you in the world wouldn't be such a bad thing."

He closed the door behind him and left me standing in the middle of my living room. I ran a hand through my hair and dropped back to the floor on my knees with my arms wrapped around myself.

What had I gotten myself into?

***Wow, so it's been a long time since I've updated. Truth be told, I have been stuck on this chapter for a long time and this was the final result of what I had. I hope this chapter was worth the wait and thank you so much for the reviews on the last chapter. Thank you for reading!
