I'm so glad you're reading this! Enjoy the next one!
It was a beautiful early spring day. Very early actually… well, technically it was still winter… but it was beside the point. The sun was shining and although it didn't promise a warm day, it already provided the perfect weather after a long, grey winter. It was just the kind of weather that made Nikita want to forget about the fight her life had become and just spend the day on the beach strolling in the sand.
Too bad she had to contend with the open windows and the distant sound of the waves…
Speaking of which, she just couldn't believe that she'd let herself be roped into this. She grimaced as a piece of cobweb landed on her nose… then promptly sneezed. To hell with this whole house cleaning, she thought as she dropped the duster and went to the kitchen to pour a well-deserved glass of wine for herself, then she settled down by the counter.
At least the view was great, she acknowledged with a smirk as she watched Michael and Sean clean the huge windows of the living room, then she chuckled when she could hear Michael mutter something about her and large windows… oh, and living in a basement. She could sympathize, really, after all, watching the whole gang doing the house cleaning was just too surreal.
They did do the occasional hoovering and what not but come on… a full-fledged spring cleaning?! That just wasn't what they did. They should be cleaning their guns and not their windows, for God's sake.
But it seemed that Alex had a thing for a freakishly clean house… and she had the means to persuade everybody to join her. Well, more like she threatened everybody. That look, you just don't say no to.
And it left her dusting the house while the boys cleaned the windows. She hated it… the dusting. But when Birkhoff appeared in the living room, hair pulled back and wearing a pair of bright yellow rubber gloves and a long-suffering look, she actually considered herself the lucky one. After all, it wasn't her stuck with cleaning the bathrooms… all four of them.
She gave him an understanding smile as she raised her glass.
Birkhoff rolled his eyes and darted for the fridge.
It was time for a break.
