Chapter 7
I'm in bed with him?Ok,now I know that something isn't right.Well,I might as well enjoy it while I can.
I think I'm enjoying this a little bit too much though.He is going to leave me soon.I can't sleep with someone who's going to be leaving me.And what if he never comes back? I need to get my head back in the game.
I got up early that morning.I had kind of freaked out because I had totally forgotten that I had slept with him. I sighed and smiled. I had no intentions of getting out of bed yet. I really was enjoying this.
But how long was I going to able to enjoy this?I knew that he would be leaving me soon and he might never come back.But I wasn't thinking about that at the moment.
I got out of bed and took a shower. The phone then started to ring. I wondered if I should have gotten out to pick it up.But after two rings,it had stopped.
Something's going on,I thought.Kirill's the only other person in the house.Oh god.Don't tell me he gave them my phone number!What if they come and track us down?More importantly,what if they come and try to kill me?
I tried to calm down,but that was kind of hard at the moment,considering the fact that my old comrades could be getting on a plane at any time and could be coming over here to try to kill me. I've got to get out of here,I thought. No.I need to talk to him.I need to ask him what's going on.
I got dressed and rushed to the other room. He was already packing.
"I'm sorry,"he said. "I need to leave."
"You said you were going to stay here for two more days."
"They want me to leave now."
I took his hand and pulled him closer to me. "No...you can't leave me..."
"I told them I came here strictly on business Nicole."
"And what if you don't come back?"
"I promised you I would come back."
"You never made a promise in your whole life. Assassins don't make promises. You know that."
"I'll leave after I kill him."
"What good will it do?"
"You left."
"Because I was tired of that life."
"Well I'm not."
"You're just in it for the money aren't you?"
"That's none of your business."
I hesitated. "Yes it is..."
"What?"
"I care about you Kirill. Don't you think that this has gone a little too far?"
"He'll be easy."
"Oh everything's easy.Do you think that my life has been easy since I left? I'm lucky I still have money and I'm lucky that I have this house....but I want you."
"You know that I'll come back. But I need to leave. My plane leaves in an hour."
