Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or the show. Reviews are appreciated! Okay, so based on your reviews, I will try to have the Nikita and Sean pairing last longer than originally planned! This chapter doesn't really develop the plot and conflict that much, but it develops Nikita, and Sean's relationship.

Sean POV:
"I think that it would be best if you guys left," I tell them. "Nikita's getting suspicious as to why I'm not letting her out of her room," I explain.
"I'm not leaving her," Michael says.
"He's right. And as much as I don't want to leave, we may have to. Sean is our best chance at getting through to Nikita. He can't do that if Nikita doesn't trust him, or doubts him," Alex replies.
"Let's take Amanda, and I have a backup safehouse we can use," Birkhoff adds in.
"Okay fine, but I'm coming back if it takes too long," Michael tells me. I nod. They pack up and leave later that evening.
Nikita POV:
I wake up to the sun gleaming through the window. I stand, but still feel a little woozy from the sedative. I try the door knob. It's locked. I don't understand why Sean is keeping me locked up in this room. I'm beginning to think it's because he's hiding something from me. I stand by the window, letting the sun touch my face. I hear the door knob rattle and Sean opens the door.
"Good morning," Sean says.
"Good morning," I reply smiling a little. He smiles.
"Are you hungry?" he asks me.
"I'm starving," I say. He takes my hand and leads me out of the room. "Wait, you're letting me out of my room?" I ask him.
"Yes. I only had you in there so you could heal," he explains to me. He leads me to the table, where the plates are set.
"I didn't know that a boy scout could cook?" I say, surprised.
"There's a lot you don't know about me," he says smiling.
"Why are you doing this for me?" I ask.
"Nikita, I care about you. A lot more than you know," he replies. I blush a little, and finish eating.
"I miss them. A lot. So much that it hurts," I say, thinking of Michael.
"I know…" Sean replies and places a hand on my shoulder. I turn and kiss him, letting a tear slip down my cheek.
"Is this wrong?" I ask him. "I feel like I'm moving on too fast, but I don't want to put my life on hold like I did with Daniel. That took me to a bad place," I explain to him.
"Do whatever your heart tells you," Sean replies back. I nod.
Amanda POV:
Michael comes into the room. "Michael, I thought you would decide to drop by," I say.
"Cut the crap. You haven't told us the rest of your plan," he tell me.
"Hmm, you're right. I haven't. But why would I?" I ask him.
"Because you are about to go through a whole lot of pain if you don't tell me," he threatens.
"Fine. How far are we from Nikita and Sean?" I ask.
"About 36 hours away," he replies. "Why?" he asks.
"Just making sure that you wouldn't get back in time if you wanted to," I tell him. "I couldn't tell you the plan because you would try to stop it when you were with Nikita," I continue. "I kept Sean alive so I could play with his mind, and maybe implant certain feelings," I explain to him.
"What do you mean 'implant certain feelings'?" Michael asks.
"Maybe I could make Sean and Nikita….fall in love with each other. Take away the love of your life, and Alex's. Make both of you suffer in the most cruel way possible" I finish, smiling.
