Day 5

Mick slept a lot better than he had in the nights before. Once he got out of the bed completely, he decided to give Emily and Kehlani their gifts today instead of waiting. It had been driving him insane so far to not do so anyways. He showered quickly and exited the small bathroom with a towel around his waist before deciding to call Emily.

The phone rang three times before she picked up, "And here I thought it would take you longer to realize that I gave you my number", Emily said with laughter in her voice. Mick put his phone on speaker and started to get dressed. "Tricky girl. How did you manage to do that without me noticing?"

More laughter and then he heard, "A magician never reveals her tricks." "You know magic?" "Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Have you eaten?" "No not yet." "Good. You can join us for breakfast. See you in a bit."

"Wait, wait! I don't have your address." "I already texted it to you." "How are you this tricky?" Emily laughed before responding, "I have my ways. Hurry up Rawson." "Yes Ma'am." "Don't call me Ma'am."

Mick got to Emily's place in under a half hour. He was truly surprised at the marvelous building she lived in. Interpol takes care of their people. He pressed the buzzer and went up after she let him in. When he got in the elevator, he pressed the penthouse button. Buddy are you sure that she's not way out of your league? For crying out loud Mick, you live in a bungalow in D.C. and she's in a penthouse in the heart of London. She's definitely out of your league. But she gave you a chance. She's not her wealth but the same woman that you've probably already fallen head over heels for. Mick wiped his sweaty palms on his thigh-clad jeans before knocking on the door.

Mick could hear laughter and light music playing before the crème colored door swung open. Mick smiled brightly at the sight of Emily with bed-tousled hair and pajamas on. She stepped aside and let Mick enter her widely open and spacious flat. He immediately saw a bouncing Kehlani surrounded by a variety of toys. He walked over and watched as the little girl's face lit up when she saw him. She immediately stretched her arms up for him and Mick happily obliged her by lifting her off the ground. Emily watched in silence for a few moments before she turned around and walked back into the kitchen.

After a half hour of hearing Mick's baby talk and Kehlani's distant giggles and babbles, Emily called out to Mick, "What do you like in your omelets?" Mick was busy trying to pry Kehlani's slobbery paws out of his hair before he answered. "Um surprise me." Emily chuckled, "Sorry, I forgot to warn you that she's obsessed with hair." "You told me but I thought it was only your hair that she was fascinated with."

Mick listened to various banging sounds from the kitchen and craned his neck to see Emily. She looked up at him and smiled before turning back around to finish making breakfast. Less than ten minutes later, Emily walked back into the living room, "Breakfast's ready." Mick got up and managed to pick Kehlani up in the process. "How much do you work out Mick or do you just practice picking up babies with one hand?" Mick suppressed a groan and bit his lip instead. Keep it in your pants Mick. She didn't mean it like that. He looked over at her sultry smile and the little glint in her eyes. Of course, she meant it like that. She's been messing with you this entire time. Game on Emily. Two can play this game.

Emily barely broke eye contact with Mick while they ate their breakfast in comfortable silence. The only time she did was when she helped Kehlani eat her silver dollar pancakes. Mick didn't know how much longer he could control himself after listening to Emily's small moans and seeing her sensual chewing. He excused himself towards the end of breakfast to try and control his raging hard-on. He kept telling himself to think of anything else but Emily, but it wasn't working. It took Mick 20 minutes to calm himself down enough to go back into the living room and spend time with his girls. Mick walked as casually as he could into the living room and was surprised to no longer see Kehlani.

"Um…"

Emily shifted slightly on the large couch, "Kehlani wakes up way too early. After she eats, she normally goes right back to sleep…..in her playpen." Emily finished and pointed across the room at a snoozing Kehlani in her purple and blue playpen. Emily patted the couch next to her but Mick held up a finger to her before disappearing near the front door. After rummaging through the bag he brought with him, he reappeared into Emily's line of sight. Emily raised a curious brow, "Do I want to know what you're hiding?" Mick rolled on the balls of his feet before pulling the bear from behind his back.

Emily gasped lightly and stared at the bear, she felt fresh tears sting her eyes at the gesture. She whispered out, "Mick….you…you didn't have to….buy her anything." Mick shrugged off her comment and walked over to place the bear next to Kehlani's small sleeping frame. "I looked up her name after you told me. I found that it meant sky and I thought that this bear fit perfectly." Emily stood behind Mick and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. She stood on her tiptoes and pecked a kiss to the base of his neck. "It's perfect. Thank you." Mick shook off the goosebumps Emily gave him and turned in her arms. "You don't have to thank me. I did it because I wanted to." "Why do you have to be so sweet?" "I know it's a hard thing to believe but I can be sweet. Besides, I already told you that I'm in this for the both of you."

Emily went to sit back down on the couch and tugged Mick's hand with her. He sat down first and pulled Emily to lie between the V of his legs under the blanket she had resting on the couch. Emily got so enthralled into the movie she was watching on T.V., that she didn't notice Mick shifting behind her. He pulled the necklace out his back pocket, unclasped it, and placed it around Emily's neck. Her body froze as she felt the cool necklace resting on her upper chest. She touched the necklace and instantly recognized it as the one she decided against buying because she had a small child at home. Emily completed turned around and straddled Mick's legs. She kissed him with all the passion she could muster. She dug her hands in his scalp and shoved her tongue in his mouth. They both moaned at the sensation and Emily shifted once more until she was sitting directly on top of Mick's erection. He pulled away slightly embarrassed but Emily didn't care and kissed him once again. Mick eagerly returned the kiss and pulled her even closer to him. "Em, Kehlani is-"

"Asleep."

Emily kissed Mick slowly again and broke away from the kiss only to breathe. "She sleeps." Kiss. "Like a rock." Kiss. "Are you going to stop teasing me now?"

Mick pulled away with a big grin on his face, "Teasing you, me? You've been teasing me nonstop. Are you done being a tease?" "If I'm not, then what? You going to punish me?"

Emily gave Mick the best innocent look that she could muster. What little control he had snapped and he gave into Emily's temptation. He nibbled at her bottom lip and husked out, "We can't wake Kehlani."

"We won't."
