"Madeline. I need to know what happened. All I remember are these voices. It felt like people were screaming in my ear but I could not understand what was said. I don't remember anything since the night of the mission. It was as if I was in some dream. I need help. Tell me what I did to Nikita. Please." Michael pleaded.
She explained all she knew about the situation but told him that it would take a little more digging to find out for sure. "We do not quite understand what happened to you over there, but we do know that you were hypnotized and we suppose that they put the idea in your mind about Nikita. They must know us some how. We are going to need to look deeper into this before we know for sure."
"Can I see her?"
"I guess that it is all right to see her now. Come on. I will go with you." Madeline smiled and followed him out.
MEDLAB
"She is so pale. How is she doing?" Michael asked.
"It was touch and go for a while, but she will pull through. A lot of damage was done but we have good Doctors here. I wouldn't worry." She said. Then she turned and left the room.
"Nikita. If you can hear me I want to tell you that I love you so much. I am so sorry that this happened to you. You have been the only light in my life for years. Please come back to me. You better get well again, Mrs. Michael Villier. We have got a lifetime in front of us. A lifetime that we will be spent together."
Then he leaned down and kissed her very softly on the lips. As he lifted up he saw her eyes flutter open.
"'Kita?"
"Where am I ?" She looked around for a second. "Never mind, I know. There is only one place that is this white."
Michael stared at her. He knew that she hated him after what he did to her. He hated himself, but since he would not come to her she reached her hand over and pulled him to her.
"Come over here to me." He walked close to her. "Give me a kiss."
"You don't hate me?"
"How could I? I knew that wasn't you that did that. I love you and I always will." She closed her eyes as he leaned and kissed her once again.
It was about a week and a half before they would let her out of Medlab. She would try to get up and leave everyday, but they wouldn't let her up. Michael refused to help them. Because the last time he tried to keep her down she decked him. The last day before they let her go she promised to come back and shoot every single one of them. They were happy that she did not follow through with that threat. They didn't know that they only reason she didn't follow through was because Michael hid her gun and Walter refused to give her another one.
"Well our first night together as a married couple, but I don't think I am going to be very much fun tonight. I am still so sore."
"Don't worry about that. I am here to take care of you. Anything you want is yours."
"Anything!?!?" A large smile crossed her face.
"Oh My God! You're scaring me." He laughed. "No, What do you have in mind?"
"I would kill for some ice cream sandwiches." Michael laughed at the request.
"I'll be back in a few minutes." Out the door he went. He showed up about ten minutes later with about ten boxes of sandwiches and each box had twelve in it.
"I better specify how many I want next time. I was thinking one or two." She began to laugh. Next thing she knew Michael walked over and handed her one. He even had one for himself.
"I used to love these when I was a boy."
"What? Michael Villa was actually a boy." She laughed.
"Villier." He laughed.
"Whatever." She shrugged her shoulders as she took a big bite of her ice cream sandwich.
They cuddled up on the couch together and ate their ice cream. Michael sat with her, watching her eat. She was so beautiful even with the little spot of ice cream on her nose. She didn't even know it was there. He leaned over and wiped it off of her nose and showed it to her. She got his finger and sucked the vanilla ice cream off it. They spent most of the night talking about anything that they could think of. Then they went on to bed. They slept closely cuddled to each other all night.
The next day as they walked in Section they both had a big smile on their faces. They had never been so happy in their lives.
As Michael walked towards Madeline's office, she walked towards Walter's little room at the corner of Section.
"So how's everything going today?" Walter was glad that she was so happy. He was not mad at Michael anymore since Madeline explained what had happened.
"What are you so chipper for?"
"I am just happy. I have a lot of reason to be. I have the man that I have been wanting for years and he loves me as I love him. Unconditionally. Now we are married and I am Mrs. Michael Villou."
"Villier." Michael said with a little laugh from behind her. Walter had seen him there but did not tell Nikita. He knew it would do Michael good to hear that the feelings that she had for him were true.
"Whatever." She laughed and shrugged her shoulders.
Michael was very happy. Nikita was just what he needed. For that matter Nikita was just what Section needed too.
"I have got a surprise for you. Madeline gave us a week off. I know just where we should go. Are you ready?"
"I am always ready." She turned and followed Michael out as soon as they were out of Section he pulled her close to him and kissed her.
"What was that for?"
"For being you." He just stared into her eyes. He felt as though he could get lost in that deep ocean of blue.
"So where are we going?" Nikita questioned.
"There is a little place up in the mountains that I bought a few years ago. I got it about the time you came into Section. No one knows about it, not even Section. I put the cell phones up before we left the apartment. So we will not be interrupted. I got some clothes together before we left the house. Madeline had told me last night that she was going to let us go but I wanted to surprise you with it. She wanted me to come in and tell her how everything went before we left though. As soon as I walked into her office she saw the smile on my face and said that I could go."
"Well, Didn't you think of everything. How long will it take us to get there?"
"About an hour and a half, but trust me it is worth the drive. You'll love it!" He promised.
THE CABIN
As they were about to pull up to it he told her to close her eyes. She smiled the entire time her eyes were closed. She loved surprises. As he got her to the front of the cabin he told her to open her eyes.
"Michael it is beautiful. I love it." She turned to him. "I love you."
"Come on. Let's go in." Right before she walked in he grabbed her up. " It is still tradition to carry the bride over the threshold. This is our cabin now. We will always have a place that is ours. A place that we will never have to share with anyone, even Section."
"I just wish you knew how happy you have made me. I don't think it is possible for me to be any happier."
"I'm glad."
"Michael."
"Yes, my love."
"You can put me down now."
"Do I have to?"
"No, but if you want to walk up straight the rest of your life you need to."
He walked over and set her down on the couch. She didn't stay there long. She got up and followed him to the kitchen.
"Are you hungry? Do you want anything to eat?"
She laughed for a second. "How old is the food here?"
"It's all fresh. I had a friend come and stock it for me yesterday. I have something special for you in the frig and freezer. Go look."
She walked over there and opened the door to the freezer first and saw about two dozen ice cream sandwiches. Considering she ate nearly an entire box all by herself. She giggled like a child on Christmas day. He knew just the right things to make her happy. She then looked in the frig to see a dozen red roses. With a note attached to it that she read aloud.
"I love you Mrs. Villae."
"Villier." He corrected.
"Whatever." She said and shrugged her shoulders. This was becoming a common response.
He was trying his best not to laugh, but he was unsuccessful. He began to laugh like Nikita had never seen before. He had such a beautiful smile and laugh. She was definitely going to have to work on the name though. She began to laugh with Michael.
That night they laid down in bed and held each other as close as they could possibly get. Michael didn't want to push her because he figured that she might still be a little sore. Every time he thought about what he had done to her he felt like screaming and he surely did not want to hurt her anymore.
Soon after Michael fell asleep Nikita awoke. She laid there and pulled away a little so that she could watch Michael sleep. He was so beautiful. Not just on the outside, on the inside as well. Even though he had done a lot of bad things in his life. He had a heart of gold. He was her Knight in shining armor and he did shine. Brighter than he could ever had imagined. He was always there for her when she needed him. She loved him and she wanted to always be with him.
She couldn't seem to take her eyes off him. She reached over and put her hand on his neck. She began to run it down around on his chest and then his stomach then up his arm and down his back. She could not resist to run it over his butt also. He had a great butt. Nice and tight. Then she brought her hand up to his face and let a finger trace around his jaw. She couldn't resist him any longer. She was feeling better and wanted him.
She moved a little closer and ran her hand over his chest again. Then going down to his arm she pulled his hand to her and put it on her hip. Then she began to move it around. She looked over to see a smile on his face as he opened his eyes. He watched her for a minute. Then he moved his hand around himself. He ran it over her arm. Down to her hips and up to her chest. The whole time they kept eye contact. Nikita moved over to get closer as she wrapped her leg around his. She ran her hand over his chest again then down his stomach. Before she went any further he stopped her.
"Are you sure about this? I don't want to hurt you."
"I have never been more sure about anything except my love for you."
He then let her hand continue her exploration, as he felt her fingers run over his body, he let out a very satisfied moan. He turned back on his side and brought her up to be on top of him. She leaned down to kiss him on the neck. The entire time he kept his hand on her. He did not want to break contact even for a minute. They soon had discarded her nightgown and panties. His boxers were already off. Thanks to her little exploration earlier. As they made love Michael told her he loved her and that he wanted to be with her forever.
All of a sudden he saw a tear run down Nikita's face. He though he had hurt her again and the thought of that killed him. She saw the look on his face and knew what he was thinking so she answered the question before it was even asked.
"I'm all right. I just hate that we only have these few days together and then we have to go back so soon. I don't want to leave."
"I know. I don't want to leave either. I would keep you here forever if I could, but it just is not possible. Not right now anyway. Be patient."
The time at the cabin passed so fast. Nikita looked at the cabin one last time before she got into the car. On the ride home she fell asleep. Michael looked over at her several times. She seemed so content, but a little sad too. As Michael pulled up to Nikita's apartment he leaned over to wake her up with a kiss on the lips. She awoke with a smile and kissed him back.
"Nikita. We're home. "
She looked over at him with a very sad look on her face. "No. We just left our home."
