So, enjoy!

Chapter Nineteen:

Come Back To Me

When they arrived back at the secret airfield in California, Alex was happy to be back in the familiar country side. He loved the landscape and the air that came along with it. He almost considered it better than living in London. Almost.

Lily was happy to be out of the helicopter. She stretched out her arms and breathed in air.

"I love this job!" she joked.

Alex smiled.

"I'm just glad to be out of this suit!" Smithers said from behind.

Alex and Lily turned around. Lily's mouth dropped when she saw Mr. Smithers.

Smithers got out of the helicopter and walked towards them. He was no longer wearing his fat suit. Instead, he was exposing his ordinary self. The thinner man that lived inside the fat suit.

Alex already knew this. Long story!

Lily studied him from head to toe and even raised one of her eyebrows.

"So... this what you guys meant by fat suit." She giggled.

Smithers blushed.

"Just my disguise. I like to take it off whenever I can. Right now seemed to be the right time to do it."

Lily nodded as she checked out his loosened t-shirt and summer shorts.

"I say." She agreed with him. One hundred percent style.

Alex rolled his eyes.

"I need to go see someone," he said.

Lily and Smithers looked at him with concerned faces.

Smithers suddenly understood what he meant.

"Alright," he said. "Just make sure that you make it back before night fall."

Alex nodded.

Lily threw him a pair of keys that went to one of the BMWs that were in the shed.

Alex got in one of the cars and started it up. He drove like a maniac as he headed towards the Pleasures house.

After a half an hour of driving, Alex finally arrived at the house. He stepped out of the car and went up to the front door. He walked straight in and closed the door.

"Sabina?!" he called out. "Edward?! Elizabeth?!"

No one answered.

Alex walked forward and came to the kitchen. There were cups of half finished coffee in the sink. Edward and Elizabeth must have went to work. But what about Sabina?

"ALEX!" came a cry of joy from behind him.

Alex's heart jumped inside his chest. He smiled and turned around.

Sabina ran towards him, still in her pajamas. Her face and eyes were red from crying. She threw arms around him and rushed into his embrace.

Alex gave her the biggest bear hug he had ever given her. He pressed his face into her hair. He could smell the shampoo and the makeup. He loved that smell so much.

Sabina pressed her face into his shoulder and cried.

They stayed into each other's embrace for a long while.

"You okay?" Alex asked her.

Sabina answered by shaking her head no against his shoulder.

"I was worried about you," she admitted. "I thought that you weren't coming back this time."

Alex felt his heart breaking into two.

"But here I am," he tried to ensure her. "It will take more than a couple of bad guys to kill me." He chuckled as if he made a joke.

"Don't laugh!" she warned. She began to cry a little harder.

Alex regretted the laugh and he squeezed her a little bit more. He wanted to keep her close to him as much as possible.

"I'm sorry," he said. "I'm sorry for everything. For putting you into this position. For hurting you. Oh God, I'm so sorry!" Tears were beginning to fall down his cheeks.

Sabina moved her head from his shoulders and stared up at him. She moved up to his lips and pressed hers against them.

Alex moved his hands up to her face and kissed her back. He used his hands to pull her closer to him.

They wanted to make this moment last forever.

Finally, they parted but kept each other in their grasp. They held onto each other and pressed their bodies against each one another. They could feel their each other's heart beat and the warmth of each other's skin. They enjoyed every moment of it.

"I love you," Sabina said in a calm and beautiful voice. "I could barely live with myself since we had that arguement last night. It felt like I was dying a slow and painful death. But when I heard your voice..." Her voice tailed off. She let out a small gasp.

Alex pulled her head against his chest and he kissed the top of her head.

"I know what you mean," he said. "I felt the same way when I left last night. Then when I heard your voice, I felt my heart come back to life." He paused. "Sabina..." His voice was full of love and concern. "... I love you so much. No one will be able to capture my heart ever again. No one will make me happy as you do."

Sabina began to cry. But they were tears of joy and happiness. She looked back at him and kissed him again.

"I love you more than anything on this Earth," she said. "I want us to be together forever. I want nothing to come between us."

Alex suddenly remembered the reason he had come back. He had to break the news to her.

"Sabina?" He said, his voice breaking up. "There's something that I need to tell you."

Sabina's eyes widened with fear. Her heart began to race. Her skin shivered.

"I have to go... again."

Sabina gasped. She held on more tighter to Alex, not daring to let him go.

"No!" she almost yelled. "Don't go!" Her voice was full of concern and worry. "Not again! I won't lose you!"

Alex tried to smile, but it failed him.

"It will be like last time," he said. "I just need to safe the world again. That's all. I will come back."

"But what if you don't?!" she asked. Her eyes were filled with tears. Her heart was breaking again. "What if you don't make it out this time?!"

Alex couldn't take her cries anymore. He hugged her again and said, "I'll come back. I always do. I just need to do one last mission. A bad guy needs to be stopped."

Sabina gasped against his chest.

"Why can't you leave it to others?!" she asked. "Why does it have to be you?!"

Alex shrugged and said, "Because I'm the good guy. I fight guys like this. Remember Damian Cray?"

Sabina shivered at the name.

"I try not to," she said with hatred.

Alex laughed while crying.

After a few minutes of silence, Sabina spoke again.

"Please stay!" she begged. "Stay with me!"

Alex felt everything telling him to do what she was asking him. He wanted to stay with her. To be with her. To express his love for her. But he couldn't. He had a job to do. A job that was his curse. A curse that would just not go away.

"I can't," he said. He cried harder than ever.

Sabina cried along with him.

They kissed again. This kiss was more powerful than ever. They bodies were pressed together, almost as if they were one.

Alex parted from her and walked away. He went to the front door and walked out. When he was about to reach the car, he heard a someone running behind him.

"WAIT!" Sabina yelled desperately.

Alex ran for her too.

They clashed together. Arms around each other.

Sabina was in his arms once again.

Alex spun her around like as if they were dancing and held her off the ground. He stopped and looked her in the eyes.

Sabina felt a rush of air all over her body.

They moved their heads forward and fiecely pressed their lips against one another. They didn't hold back. Once they parted again, they stared into each other's eyes for a long time.

"I love you," Sabina said. "Please come back to me."

Alex nodded and sat her down.

"I will," he said.

Alex turned from her and got into the BMW. He started the car and drove off. He watched in his rear-view mirror at Sabina, who was standing in the driveway, until she was out of view. He turned his attention to the road and drove on. Heading back to the airfield.

I will come back! Alex promised. I will!

Boy! That was harder that I thought it would be! Hope that you guys enjoyed this scene!

Please review! I love hearing what you guys have to say!
