Chapter 26 Power Of Separation

Miley was racing her car to the airport in the early morning. She was panting heavily due to her rushing out of the house. She couldn't miss that. She couldn't.

Fortunately, when she arrived, when she flew inside the airport it was still early for his flight and he was there. She sighed a sigh of relief and rushed towards him after spotting Nick.

"What the hell, Nick?"

"Miley." He hugged her tightly and she instantly relaxed hugging back.

"Where are you going, Nick?" she asked with sad concern.

"France." He sighed lowering his voice.

"France." She repeated nodding, after all, she knew this moment would come sooner or later, he'd have to leave for a mission one day. And that day happened to be today when he woke her up at 5:00 a.m. telling her he just got called for a mission and he is leaving right now.

"I'm going to miss you." He whispered pushing a strand of hair escaped on her face to behind her ear and rested his hand on her cheek.

"Me too, Nick." She said and bit her lips with the gathering tears. "What is it about, Nick?"

He looked around hesitantly before whispering to her, "Some stolen project I have to get back."

"France stole it?"

"No, the person who stole it went to France."

"And what are you supposed to do?"

"Get closer to her in a normal basis and get it."

"Her?"

He smiled, "Yeah… Olivia Adam. Russian but was born here."

"Why are you going alone? Why aren't you with your team?"

"This time is solo."

"Why?"

"Because, it's easier. I don't need partners. Besides, the plan doesn't need anyone but me."

"To get closer to her."

He nodded, "In normal basis." He confirmed knowing what's going on through her head, after all, they've been together for nearly four months now.

"And how do you define normal basis exactly?" she frowned as he rolled his eyes.

"Just the normal, Mi. Friends, maybe a little flirtation, nothing to worry about."

"I'm not worried…" she narrowed her eyes at him and he raised an eyebrow, "Just… concerned!"

"I love you, Miley." He informed.

"I know, Nick, I know." She sighed, "I do too." She bit her lip but he knew she wasn't comfortable with the whole thing so he wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead gently.

"I mean it, no one will ever be able to distract me away from you."

She smiled and snuggled closer, "I know, Nick." She rested her head on his chest. "How long will it take?"

"It depends, but I bet it's not going to be too long."

"You're going to call me everyday?" she looked up at him.

"Sure, Mi. Whenever I'm able too of course."

"Okay, be careful, Nick."

"Don't worry, Miles. You're talking to the best."

"That ego of yours will come haunt you one day." She pinched her lips and shook her head as he chuckled.

"What? A man can't praise every once and a while?"

"Every once and a while, not the whole time." She smirked at him.

"Well, if I have you, why shouldn't I praise the while time?"

"Stop being cheesy." She giggled and pushed his chest.

He laughed along, "I'll really miss you, Mi." he said and before she could even open her mouth to respond, they heard his flight being called.

"I guess it's time for you to go."

"I guess so."

"I'll miss you too." She said and looked up directly in his eyes as he stared at her for a while and leaned down to kiss her as she instantly kissed back.

"Take care of yourself, Mi. and don't do something stupid."

"I don't do stupid things, Nick, you take care of yourself and finish this mission quickly." She hugged him tightly as he hugged her just as tight neither of them wanting to let go.

"Don't worry about me." He whispered to her.

"Come on, Nick. You need to go."

And after slowly pulling away from her, she watched him as he left for his flight. She watched him leaving for a whole other country for the first time since they knew each other, just as it was the first time ever since, that they were separated from around each other.

"Ugh! Why isn't he answering?!" Miley exclaimed as she sat down on the table in between Selena and Joe.

"Miley, he's not on a vacation. It's a mission." Joe rolled his eyes.

"So…?"

"So, you can't expect him to answer your calls all the time. He's on disguise, you know…"

"He's at home now. He told he'd shower and call me." She frowned worriedly.

"Then he will call you, Miles." Demi told her. "Something might have turned up."

"That was an hour ago." Miley mumbled and pressed dial again pressing the phone to her ear.

"Jane! What's up, sis?" she heard him answering on the other line.

"What…?" she frowned.

"Calm down, calm down. What's wrong?" he said and she became more confused. He's supposed to be alone, then, why is he acting that way?

Then she heard it; the moan.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, not again. Hold up a second." He said and moved the phone away from his ear and she heard him saying: "I'm sorry, I have to take this, my sister and her husband had a fight again and I have to calm her down, she gets kinda crazy." He chuckled.

"Okay, babe. Don't take too long."

"I won't."

Her eyes widened as she heard the whispers and the short time of silence before the shuffling and the closing door.

"Miley! You were about to ruin the whole mission." He whispered to her.

"What were you doing? Who's this?"

"Who do you think? Olivia!"

"Oh, wouldn't have guessed! Is this the normal basis, Nick?"

He rolled his eyes, "You know the truth, okay? You know I have to do this. It's not like I'm enjoying it." He hissed annoyed.

"Oh, it looked like you're to me."

"Haven't you heard of acting? Haven't you seem me work before?"

"Jakey!" Olivia called him.

"Your new friend is calling you, Jakey." Miley snapped.

"Don't be stupid! Listin, I have to go now, when I get rid of hear I'll call and explain everything.

"Just go, Nick."

"Miley, don't be this childish-" Nick couldn't even finish his sentence as the line went dead and he groaned frustrated. He huffed and then regained his gesture opening the door of the room and smiled a small smile to Olivia.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah, she's just so mad and thinking about divorce. She'll calm down after a while." He told her and then overtook Jake's character completely as he moved closer putting his hands over her hips, "So, where were we?"

XxXx

"Miley!"

"Miles, wake up."

"Leave me alone." She said with her eyes still closed; she didn't wanna wake up, she was mad. She just had yet another fight with Nick, guess what about? Olivia.

She was just not accepting the fact that he's with that girl and not with her, and that she gets to kiss him while Miley knows and strangely enough, can't disagree. Because she knows neither of them have an option or a say in this case.

It's been three months since Nick has been gone, the original mission was done, and the project was returned and replaced successfully with another false information, but Nick was told too stay longer and get information about Olivia, how important she's and her bosses.

And as a result, he got to spend more time with Olivia, which Miley definitely hated. She hated how she didn't see him even once in three months while Olivia got to spend time with him. Olivia definitely was closer to Nick than Miley right now.

She couldn't help but let her mind wonder what if he found something charming about Olivia? What if he liked spending time with her? What if he liked Olivia?

She really loves him, and the thought made her crazy, which led to fights.

She didn't expect that, but, being away from him for so long made her in love with him even more, made her need him even more. She always heard distance relationships don't survive, but hers got stronger.

She now, can't help but need him with her. And not just right now, but forever.

"Miley!"

"I said go away!"

"But, Nick is here."

She suddenly was sitting up right in her bed wide eyed, "WHAT?"

"Nick… he came back." Her father said.

"Is she up yet?" Selena came rushing to the room while trying t put on her shoes in hurry.

"When did he come back?" Miley got up struck trying to figure out what she's supposed to do exactly.

"An hour ago."

"Where's he?" she asked taking her way to the bathroom.

"Go get ready, I'll take you to see him. Just get ready." Selena pushed her to the bathroom as Miley giggled excitedly; she's finally going to see Nick again. She needs to look very beautiful.

Selena sighed as soon as Miley disappeared. "How's he?"

"He's in surgery right now." Mr. Stewart answered with a sigh.

"I don't get it. Wasn't he okay? Wasn't he on the clear side? Who would shoot him?"

"Yes. They believe it's not about this mission. They believe it's something old. Revenge."

"God! I hope he's okay. Miley would never accept it if…"

"Yeah, I know."
