Just one touch
Chapter six
Delilah walked through the hallways of the U.Z.Z. H.Q. She looked like she was having a major headache and that she didn't sleep well last night, which she didn't. She couldn't sleep after Victor kissed her. She hated this mission. She hated it even before it begun. But Doctor Doctor ordered her to do it, so she had to do this stupid mission.
Even though the formula of the love poison worked, she was stuck with Victor now and not Doctor Doctor.
"Hey, Delilah!" sounded and Eliza and Kowalski walked next to Delilah. "You don't really look good." Kowalski said, sounding a little bit concerned.
"Maybe you had a drink too much yesterday." Eliza said and she gave Kowalski a wink. "It happened to me too."
You're different than Delilah." Kowalski said and she looked to Delilah. "Or is she right?"
"Not really." Delilah gave the two women a little smile. "I just didn't sleep well. Maybe I'm just feeling a little bit nervous right now."
"Trust me, being a trainee and being a newbie, there isn't that much of a difference between them." Eliza said with a big smile. "Come on, you know the drill at the Control Room already. So…what could go wrong?"
Kowalski gave Eliza a suspicious look when they walked into the Control Room. "The last time you said that, the Martians came to have their 'falling-down' parties here at earth."
Delilah looked to the two women as she took her seat between them. "What happened?"
"That's a long story." Kowalski sighed.
"So we better start telling it!" Eliza laughed.
Kowalski groaned. And the day just begun! She thought.

Anita groaned. She and Victor had their briefing already and it promised to be just another normal workday at U.Z.Z. It was a little bit cloudy, so there wouldn't be much missions today.
Anita was sitting in front of her sky-bike. She had what problems with her brakes. This morning, she just skinned to stop right before Victor's sky-bike. She was glad she only just missed hitting it, otherwise there would be more damage than there was already.
But she couldn't find just the tiniest thing that could be wrong with her brakes. Well, she had to admit she wasn't really great at mechanical stuff, but she knew what she had to know about her sky-bike and she knew for sure that there was nothing wrong with her brakes.
Anita sighed and she stood up. Maybe it was the alcohol from the night before. She drank not too much, but it was a long time ago that she went out for the last time. Anita walked out of the Storage Room when she saw Victor walking there in front of her.
"Hey Victor!" she called and Victor turned around.
"Oh, hey Anita." Victor said and Anita walked up to him. "Where did you come from?"
"My sky-bike. I reacted a little bit too late when I tried to land this morning. I nearly missed your sky-bike." Anita sighed. "I guess I should pass the last round yesterday."
Victor smiled a little bit. "I don't think it'll be busy today. At least, I hope it won't be busy today. I guess I have some kind of a hangover this morning."
"You have or you don't have a hangover." Anita looked to Victor and she gave him a little smile. "So, what will it be?"
Victor sighed. "I have a headache, let's stick on that, okay?" he looked to Anita. "I hope there are some aspirins in this building."
"I have some in my locker." Anita said and Victor gave her a suspicious look. "Just for cases like this."
Victor nodded and he looked up. Kowalski, Eliza and Delilah just passed Victor and Anita as they went to their training. She looks really beautiful, Victor thought. Her dark brown hair, her beautiful dark eyes, her dark skin…everything about her is just beautiful.
Anita looked to Victor and she followed his gaze. She just couldn't believe it. After four years, a new agent steals his heart and he breaks her heart. Just like that, as if her heart was made of glass and he broke it without any troubles. Maybe he's just having another headache, maybe he's just thinking about something else.
The more Anita kept saying that to herself, the less she started to believe it. She just knew it for sure. Delilah stole Victor's heart, for ever.

It was lunchtime. Anita walked through the canteen. She just got some lunch and she was looking for an empty lunch table. She had been studying some new moves for the rest of the morning, just to clear her head. She wasn't in the mood to sit next to other agents, she needed some time alone. She found an empty lunch table and sat down.
Anita just opened her newest magazine when she saw Victor and Delilah walking into the canteen. They were talking about something. Anita spotted that they were walking almost hand in hand and Anita felt her heart breaking.
"Hey!" sounded and Kowalski sat down next to Anita. "Is there something wrong?" she asked when she saw Anita's pale face.
"No, I…I'm alright." Anita whispered, but she couldn't stop looking to Victor and Delilah.
"Well, if you say so." Kowalski wasn't convinced, but she figured that Anita didn't want to talk about it. Kowalski followed Anita's gaze and she understood what was going on in Anita's mind.
"I spy with my little eye…" Eliza whispered to Kowalski when she sat down next to her. She saw Victor and Delilah too and it was really horrible to see them like that. It had something…something wrong to see them like that.
"You're seeing what I'm seeing, right?" Kowalski whispered back and Eliza nodded.
Suddenly, Victor started to kiss Delilah, right on her lips, in the middle of the canteen. All agents looked to them, but nobody said a thing. A plate fell, a chair followed nearly a second later and Anita dashed out of the canteen.
"I spy with my little eye…a betraying and an almost dead agent." Eliza said.
"Delilah Smith…"

"Victor, why…why did you do that?" Delilah looked to Victor. She just couldn't believe what Victor just did a minute ago. He kissed her, right in the middle of the canteen, right on her lips. She had no idea that the love poison could be so strong.
"We love each other, we can do what we want, whenever we want." Victor said with his sweetest smile and he looked to Delilah.
There was something wrong with that smile, Delilah just knew there was something really strange. This love poison was just too strong. Maybe I shouldn't pour the whole bottle in his glass, Delilah thought and she sighed a little bit. "Yes, well…I don't think we should kiss in the canteen right a day after we kiss for the first time."
"Who cares?" Victor said and he gave her another kiss.
"I care." Delilah said and she looked to Victor. "I'm not ready to tell it to the others."
"I don't think we need to tell them." Victor said with a smile.
"What…what do you mean?"
They've seen it already in the way we kissed each other."
Delilah sighed. "I don't care if they know it already or not, I just don't want to tell them because I'm not ready yet." Delilah walked to an empty lunch table. She wasn't in the mood to talk to somebody, she just wanted to be on her own right now. She wanted to clear her head right now. Delilah looked around her and sighed. She saw everybody looking at her and she knew that the rest of her U.Z.Z. career ended right now. And there was not a thing she could do.
---
Not far from Delilah's lunch table were two hidden eyes looking to her. Kent stood up from his lunch table and he threw his lunch away. He didn't have much hunger after he saw Delilah and Victor kiss each other. He thought he and Delilah belonged together forever, but apparently Victor was more her type. Kent sighed. After two years of hoping to see her ever again, she still broke his heart. There wasn't a thing that he could do, but hope that everything turn out right for him, for both of them. Some day, just at one of these days, Delilah would come back to him. He just hoped it would be some day soon.
I'm sorry it took me so long for updating a new chapter, but school is just frustrating right now! I hope I can write another chapter soon enough.
