Back and slightly early with this chapter but I couldn't help it, I am enjoying writing this so much, It is great fun to see all the positive reviews and that people are enjoying it so I know for a fact it is worth continuing. Please ignore my babbling, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 11

"So how are you and the redhead?" Felicia asked with a small frown, luckily for her Peter didn't notice.

"We are fine, I think anyway, she was a bit wary that I was hanging with you again. " Peter couldn't lie to Felicia, to him she always deserved the truth.

Felicia's eyebrow raised at what Peter said and smiled innocently. "What is the redhead jealous of me again? Does she think we have another kid together?"

Peter just chuckled at what Felicia said and put a fry into his mouth. " Nah she just thinks you are going to backstab me again."

Felicia frowned again. "Do you trust me?" She asked as she looked Peter in the eye.

"Always" Peter answered as he looked back into her eyes and he saw her smile softly.

"As long as you trust me, that's all that matters to me, the redhead will just have to get used to sharing her boyfriend."

Peter just chuckled again, his phone rang and he looked at the ID.

"Speak of the devil It seems she always calls when I am totally trying to seduce you," Felicia said with a smile, causing Peter to laugh and stand up so he could answer his phone. Felicia sat watching him, seeing him laugh was supposed to make her feel good on the inside and out but she didn't, she was experiencing the one thing she thought would never happen to her, jealousy. She sighed and continued to watch Peter, which recently was one of her favorite past times, but at this stage, it really wasn't.

'He is so happy, isn't he? Why do I try to get in the way of that? He was just a booty call, right? surely I can't feel more than that, like I know I said I loved him a couple of times but did I actually mean LOVE him? '

Felicia came out of her thoughts and focused again on Peter, she knew the answer to the question she was asking herself.

'I do love him, That's why I can no longer get in the way of his happiness. It would be so much easier for her if he felt the same but he was with the redhead and Peter is the type that is loyal. I can't do that to him, after everything he has been through, he deserves happiness. I just wish it was with me '

Felicia stood up and left cash on the table, she walked towards the door, ready to get out of Peter's life but a gentle hand on her shoulder stopped her, she turned and looked at Peter. She had a thoughtful look on her face.

'Should I tell him how I truly feel?'

"where are you going, Felicia?" Peter asked softly.

"Peter, I think its a good idea I head home. I don't want to interrupt anything between you and MJ, I am sorry for getting in the way"

Peter watched Felicia walk out and he followed her and grabbed her hand gently, making her face him again.

"Felicia, you are not getting in the way of anything between me and MJ, I don't know why-" Peter stopped talking as his senses began to alert him to danger, he started looking around and heard a bang and turned to see a bullet fly towards Felicia, acting as quickly as he could he moved her out of the way, but it wasn't fast enough, the bullet hit Felicia on the stomach and the blonde fell to the ground. Peter quickly wrapped his arm around her head so she wouldn't land with a thud. He took a quick glance to his left and saw Yuri walk away with a sniper on her shoulder. He couldn't worry about that now.

"Felicia, stay with me okay? It is going to be okay, I am going to get you to a hospital. " Peter gently scooped her into his arms, doing his best not to hurt her more. She was still conscious and she looked up at him. He looked down at her as he started to run towards the nearest hospital, He didn't care if anyone noticed his superhuman speed, all that mattered was getting Felicia to the hospital or she could die. Peter felt his begin to cloud with tears as some rolled down his cheek. He felt a soft hand cup his cheek and he looked down at Felicia, her thumb wiping them away from his cheek.

"You have to stay awake okay? We are almost there, please hang o for me, Felicia"

Felicia winced at the pain from her stomach and looked down at the blood that had now covered her white blouse. She again looked at Peter and smiled mentally, she really couldn't give up on this man, here he was saving her again, she tried her best not to get her hopes up to his clear worry for her health, did she really have a chance with him?.

She opened her eyes and looked around, they were now In what looked like a hospital emergency room, she was losing consciousness quick but tried her best to keep it at bay. She heard Peter talk to one of the nurses in front of them.

"She has been shot in the stomach, she is losing too much blood, please help me..." Peter sounded defeated.

"I need a gurney now!" The nurse yelled and soon Felicia was put onto the gurney, She looked around and saw a lot more nurses and a doctor now as they wheeled her to the operating theater, she kept looking around as she finally found Peter again. She reached her hand out and laced her fingers through his, earning a squeeze in return which made her smile gently.

"You will be okay, Felicia" She listened to his words and repeated them in her head until she got to the operating room. She heard Peter argue with the nurse.

"Sir you have to stay outside, we will get you once we are done."

"But what if she doesn't make it" Peter cried as, which made Felicia heartbreak hearing his sob.

"We will do all we can sir, we promise. "The same nurse replied and closed the door, they soon began to operate on her.

Brooklyn Warehouse.

Yuri came walking into the office that Norman used with the same sniper on her shoulder. She stopped in front of his desk and he smiled at her.

"I trust you have been successful?" Norman was now sitting forward as he looked at Yuri curiously.

"Yes, the shot didn't hit her head but it did hit her stomach, the stupid date she was with ran off her with her in his arms, no way he would have made it before she bled out. "

Norman nodded and crossed his arms. " You say she was on a date? The person she was with, do you know who they are? "

"No but he did manage to move her out of the way of my intended target, He is just some guy she is screwing behind the Spider's back. "

"Did you see where they came from? Like I feel this guy has more to do with it. How long did you follow her? "

"I picked up her trail as she came from the F.E.A.S.T. Shelter, the guy was with her then too.

" Really? Most interesting, I may know how to find out who this mystery guy is. He may prove valuable as bait down the line. "

"Do whatever you want, I think my job is done, I will continue to keep the Spider busy, though it will be tougher since i just killed his girlfriend."

"Indeed, remember we need him to be angry for our big plan, that's how he will fall into our trap. "

"Okay, I got it."

Yuri left and Norman pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a number, he smiled as they picked up.

"I need some information "

Hospital

Peter sat outside the door waiting for updates, he had his head in his hands and was really worried Felicia wouldn't make it.

"How is she?" A familiar voice asked.

Peter looked up and saw non-other than Walter Hardy standing there, "How is who?" Peter tried to play dumb.

"Cut the crap, I know you are Spider-Man, it's pretty obvious seeing how fast you moved to save her life, besides the tears in your eyes give it away " He whispered so only Peter could hear.

"How did you know about that? You are supposed to be gone" Peter said bitterly.

"I always keep a close eye on my daughter. As her father, I want to say thank you for saving her life.

"Who said I saved it? She is in there because I answered a phone call, It's my fault she went to leave the restaurant. "

Walter sighed and just sat down beside Peter. " She will make it, my little girl is strong and If you weren't for you then that bullet would have hit her head. I see the look in your eyes, I once had it when I had to leave her behind. You actually have the chance to be in her life, take it. "

Peter looked at the man and saw what looked like acceptance.

"I don't know what you mean sir, we are just friends, of course, I will always be there."

"That's shit and you know it kid, you are harboring feelings and you know it, you are just trying to hide them "

Peter's jaw dropped slightly, was he harboring feelings? No, he couldn't be, he was in love with MJ.

"I am not the one for your daughter sir, I have a girlfriend and I am happy. "

Walter looked him right in the eye and shook his head.

"You may think that you are happy or are you truly trying to avoid breaking someone's heart? I think the guilt of that is what you are avoiding."

"I really don't think you are right sir.."

Walter just laughed and stood up.

"Look after my little girl" With that the older man was gone again.

A couple of hours later the same nurse from earlier came out. She smiled at him softly and he instantly got to his feet.

"She will survive but it will be a long recovery for her. Luckily for her, the bullet wasn't lodged and didn't hit any major organs or arteries. She is very lucky to be alive. "

"Can I see her?" Peter asked softly.

"Yes but only for a little while, she needs rest."

Peter nodded and walked in to see Felicia lying in bed, she turned her head at the sound of someone walking in and smiled at him.

"Hey handsome, what brings you here?" She gave her classic smirk, which made him feel a lot better.

"You know, a pretty lady needed hospital treatment and because of my hero complex, I had to bring her here myself. The usual you know?" Peter smiled as he sat on the chair next to her bed. She again reached out and took his hand into hers. Peter looked at their hands and a thousand thoughts started running through his mind.

"You are miles away Peter. " Felicia said softly, looking at his blank face,

" Yeah I was just worried about you, I am so glad you are okay."

"I wouldn't be if it wasn't for you, I think I owe you again for saving me" Felicia smiled at him.

"You don't owe me anything Felicia, If it wasn't for me taking that stupid phone call, you wouldn't be here right now, We would still be having fun. "

She gently raised her other hand and rubbed his cheek gently.

" Peter none of this is your fault. I shouldn't have gotten up, I'm sorry for taking you from your call with your girlfriend. "

Peter shook his head gently but didn't move her hand from his cheek. "It wasn't your fault, I am sorry I always leave you hanging when MJ calls. "

"It's okay Peter, I get it. You want your privacy. So any idea who took the shot?"

Peter got a pained expression on his face. " It was Yuri."

"She actually resorted to trying to assassinate me in broad daylight? Not a very good assassin is she?" Felicia was trying to make Peter laugh but it wasn't working.

"I am going after her once you are out of here, You are my main concern. " Peter said to her softly.

Felicia looked into his eyes and then to his lips, they were tempting but she didn't want to get him in trouble.

"I know you will and I know you will win. You always do. "

Chapter 11 is done and I really hope you enjoyed this chapter centered just on Peter and Felicia, It was a ton of fun to write and I hope I did it justice. We got more plot in this chapter as well and yes whenever I change the font to italics, it means a character is in their own mind having a convo. Anyway, I would appreciate if you guys let me know what you thought and I will see you next week with chapter 12!
