I woke up in my room, stretching out I let my rested limbs fawn over the bed. sitting up, two feelings hit me. Part of me was so happy that me and valek finally gotten closer to one another. we were apart for so long and now we're evan closer than before. i love him and he loves me. sure the relationship would be hard; Valek's an assassin and i'm just a food taster, but good relationships are worth fighting for, right?

Thinking about all this just brought back the memmory of Jamie. Could he have broken the rules, controlled valek and manipulated me? why would he though? I don't understand Jamies motives for doing such a thing. Was it to get back at me? too many questions formed in my head, I couldn't summon the strength to sort through them on my own.

Missing valek, wait missing? Okay i'm already missing valek and he's only down the hall. deciding to start tasting early or rather wanting to see my 'is it too soon to say lover?'... lets just say Valek. i've never felt these feelings before , so happy and joyful but an ache formed whenever i thought about my old friends.

hopping out of bed, i slipped in my uniform and rushed down the hall to Valek's suite. knocking three times i heard "come" in a cold voice. confused byhis attitude, maybe he doesn't know its me. "oh, yelena its you, i thought you were the gaurds again. one of the prisoners have escaped and they've been bothering me all morning about it."

"All morning, how long have you been up?" I asked a little concern touching my words as I spoke.

"Don't worry, i've been awake for a few hours, not all night." Valek reasurred me. i walked over to him. Valek was sat at his desk head in hands.

i pulled his head up to mine and fully kissed his lips. Valek pushed his chair back enough room for me to slip on to his lap. He held me tightly and my worries once again drained away, only for a momment though. "do you know who escaped?" I asked, but I regreted it when Valek frowned. "what?" I tried. I could tell when Valek was hiding something from me.

"We know exatly who it is, and i have a feeling you do too." Valek said. what did he mean? i don't have the slightest idea who it could be, i do not know any prinsoners from the dungeons. i never was near another prisoner to have a conversation with let alone learn their names. thinking about the past week, I considered someone but dropped the thought straight away. it couldn't be him, no way.

"i don't know any of the prisoners... well except one but Jamie would'nt get himself into more trouble then he is now. no it can't be him... can it?" i challenged, but I knew the answer.

"yes, Jamie escaped. but i have no idea how" Valek frowned again. scratching his head and running his fingers through his hair. my eyes turned like frosted glass and my heart ached. soon hot tears spilled from my face and Valek wiped them away with his index finger. he pulled me up to a tighter embrace and kissed me hard on my warm lips. he then said... "don't worry about all this today" he swept his hand out indicating my problems around me. "you have the day of, i already cleared it with the commander, so you can go and do what you wish to do today" Valek said.

"do i have to go?" snuggling tighter under his chin and in his strong lean arms. "can't i stay with you?" i asked, hoping to get evan closer with him.

"if you wish it" he smiled at me. my heart felt all mushy.

"i do" i grinned, knowing exactly what i meant; Valek stood with me in his arms. carrying me to the bedroom, i had already undone his shirt buttons. placing me onto the bed, delight touched our eyes and one thing led to another.

cuddled in valek's arms and bare muscly chest, my wish came true. we had become closer and now he was my lover. my soulmate. my other half. i felt at piece with him which is probably strange considering his proffesion but i didn't care. i looked up at him, his eyes closed; i looked away then glanced back at valek. a huge grinn had appearred and his eyes were wide open. i smiled at him and kiss his chest, reminising on what happened half an hour ago.

Knowing we would have to get up soon becuase the commander would want his assassin at work on the escaped prisoner, i wrapped my legs around Valek's waist and glory hit my eyes, Valek understood and we were once again hid under the covers, intertwined with each other.

please review, short chap i know. sorry.
