Chapter 2- After The Mayze
"Lets' talk about Keri..." Frank started.
"Uh, what a liability! One minute she's filming secret bases for the internet. Next minute she's running off into deadly situations on her own." Dan complained.
"She did help us on every level of The Mayze and did you see how fast she was at learning! She was picking up her moves just by watching us!" Aneisha explained, astounded by Keri amazing ability.
"I'm happy never to work with her again."
"Urm yes..." Stella started.
"This is going to be hilarious!" Laughed Tom.
"The specific nature of Keri needs MI9 protection. The details were meant to be discussed with you earlier, but..." Stella was cut off by the lift doors opening to reveal an auburn-haired girl in a black spy outfit. She sashayed out of the lift and posed to show off her new outfit.
"Do these outfits come in red? I would look so good in red!" Keri exclaimed. "Can we take a group picture to show Trina?" She asked pulling out her phone. She squeezed in between Frank and Stella and held out her phone to take a selfie. Frank smiled awkwardly while Stella just rolled her eyes. Aneisha started laughing at Dan when he rolled his eyes and heavily sighed. Tom pulled a goofy smile and squeezed in between Keri and Stella.
When Keri finally took a picture with everyone smiling, (Except for Dan of course. He kept sighing and rolling his eyes.) Keri announced that she had posted it on Instagram.
"Noo! This will blow our cover!" Dan shouted.
"Don't worry Dan, I've already deleted it." Whispered Tom, so Keri couldn't hear anything.
"Let's see how many views I've got...hey! Where's the picture gone? Everything is crashing today!" Keri complained, frowning at her phone while everyone just laughed, including Stella.
Frank pulled her into a hug. She then hugged back; smiling like everything was back to normal.
"I've missed your laugh, Stella." He said, tucking a bit of her fringe behind her ear. Stella just smiled. It's just like old times she thought to herself. Frank kissed her forehand and they both smiled. They tried to ignore the 'aww' and 'so cute!' coming from the team but they just started laughing instead.
"What's going on?" Keri asked. She was completely oblivious to the situation because she only just came through the doors.
"Keri, Frank and Stella were dating 10 years ago and then something went wrong on a mission and they broke up and now they have gotten back together and they are so cute together!" Aneisha squealed all in one breath.
"Whoa, slow down Neish!" Tom said trying to calm her down. He then looked at Keri. "Keri, what she's trying to say is that Frank and Stella started dating 12 years ago and dated for 2 years. 1 week after their 2 year anniversary, Frank and a SWAT team went on a mission; the KORPS assault. Stella's best friend, Hyperia, was killed that day along with many other agents and Stella was blaming it all on Frank. She then got so angry at him that she dumped him and didn't contact each other for 10 years. When Stella got the job as Chief Agent at MI9, Frank nearly had a heart attack. Frank still loved Stella and Stella still loved Frank and everyone knew that except for them. They have now gotten back together and everyone's thinking took them long enough! And it's true what Neish said, they are really cute together." Tom explained while Keri just stood there gobsmacked.
When she finally came to her senses, her jaw just hung open while Frank and Stella just laughed at her expression.
"That... is one messed up situation! I mean, seriously! 10 years?! Are you guys crazy?! But it was worth it, you guys are really cute together." Keri said as she pulled out her phone to take a photo of the new couple. Frank just stepped forward and grabbed the phone out of her hands while Stella giggled.
"Keri, we don't want people knowing just yet. If people find out, we will get mobbed by all of these agents who have been waiting 10 years for this. Promise me that if you take a photo, you won't post it anywhere?" Frank said holding Keri's phone up high.
"Ugh, fine!" She sighed in frustration as she took her phone out of Frank's hands. Keri pointed it at Frank and Stella who just stood there smiling, frank's arm around her waist. Keri then took the picture and showed it to the team.
"This is going to be a long year..." Stella sighed as Frank just laughed.
"Hey, you're the one that hired her in the first place!" Frank pointed out. Stella just giggled and they both leaned in for another kiss. She wrapped her arms around Frank's neck and his arms around her waist. What they didn't know is that Keri pulled out her phone again and snapped a quick picture of them kissing. The team started laughing hysterically. When Frank and Stella pulled back, they started laughing too. I hope this never ends. They both thought, gazing into each other's eyes.
