Reunion

It's been half a year since Sly met those two figures that took him back to his time period. They we're kind enough to drop him off in front of Dimitri's place who filled him in on some facts of what's happened the year he's been gone. And a few weeks in he finally saw what they meant by safe account, he knew that all the gold and treasure he found in Egypt was priceless but how much he had in this account, it nearly gave him a heart attack. He's grown accustomed to the new life he's now living, the world hadn't changed to much on him. Technology has advanced to simple robotics and a few eco friendly vehicles. Sly has been living with Bently the whole half year, Murray comes to visit every now and then when he's not wrestling. He tries to visit Carmelita, but keeps losing nerve when he sees her across a room. Bentley and Murray kept telling him that she will be ecstatic to see him. But he still worries, what if she doesn't want to see him, what if she wants nothing to do with him since he's been gone a full year and a half now. He just doesn't know if he can take the rejection.

A week goes by again, he's been watching her from afar, she doesn't seem to be dating anyone right now, but she has this picture she keeps with her, he can't make it out cause every time she shows it she faces the back to him or flips it to fast for him to get a clear view. He back tracks for his ride home after he leaves Carmelita's door again. All of a sudden he's hit with a sleep dart from no where and passes out when he pulls it from his neck.

He wakes up in a clear room strapped to a chair. Bentley's voice comes on through a speaker behind him.

"Hello Sly, nice to see you awake now. So listen, me and Murray have decided that since you can't seem to build the nerve to talk to Carmelita yourself, we'd have Carmelita come talk to you. You left us no choice, you've been tracking her for weeks, but keep running away or hiding when she comes to close." Bentley let's this news sink into Sly's head.

He's right, I haven't even tried really talking to her. I guess I'm more of a coward when it comes to her than I thought. How pathetic, I can stare down the most terrifying things in the world without flinching, but when it comes to talking to the girl I love I can't muster up even the courage for that. His inner monologue is stopped when Bentley finally speaks again.

"So Sly, you ready to finally face your fears?" He nods slightly as he sees a camera pointed at him from a few meters away.

"Ok I'm gonna let Carmelita in, and fyi she knows how long you've been back." Bentley says before a door unlocks ahead of him. Sly's heart is racing and he knows he's gonna be in for it now since she knows when he came back. He really tenses at her angered face.

She's still as beautiful as ever, even if she's steaming mad. He thinks as he watches her slowly approach him. She's wearing her collar with her badge dangling from it nearly reaching her supple breasts which are held up by her halter top corset shirt. She's wearing her signature flight jacket and a knee high skirt with thigh high combat boots. Her hair is half done in a braid down her back and her tail twitches with her anger that's about to explode.

She stops just in front of him with her hands on her hips.

"Hello Sly, long time no see." She says with venom at that last part. Sly flinches at the end knowing that he was gonna regret keeping his arrival secret from her. He opens his mouth to speak but she stops that with a quick slap, he hisses in pain, but when he looks back up at her, she has tears in her eyes.

"Half a year Sly, did you ever come to see me. Huh, I was worried sick you might have been dead or worse in some other time period, and then I get a call from Bentley, Bentley of all people, and he tells me that you've been back for half a year!" She rants at him, he flinches as he feels her hurt come out through her words. Sly answers back.

"Carmelita please, I know it may seem like I haven't come to see you, but I have. I've been trying to talk to you for weeks now, I walk up to your house door but lose nerve when I reach for the door bell. I've tried walking up to you on the streets but I freeze up when I see you and just keep walking."

He mumbles about how he's been following her for the past week trying to work up the courage to speak to her. She peeks up her ears.

"What was that last part Sly. After the walk by me thing. What did you just mumble to yourself?" She asks turning to him. He bites his lip watching her move, then let's out a sigh.

"I said that I've even been stalking you this past week just trying to work up the nerve to talk to you. But every time I get up the courage, you flip out this photo you have in your purse. I don't know if it's of a current boyfriend or something like that!" He finally confesses. She glares at him them pulls her purse out flips it open and throws the photo at him.

"Yeah it's a photo of the man I love now and forever, maybe you'll recognize him!" She growls at him before turning around again swatting him with the side of her tail, he picks up the picture and flips it open. What he sees is both heartwarming and hurtful, it's a copy of the picture he had when he started the time traveling device to save his family's reputation as the greatest thieves of their time.

"Where did you find this? I thought I lost it in the crash, I searched through scrap metal for weeks but didn't find it."

"I found it in the blimps debris along the river. I never let it out of my sight, and helps keep the vultures away." She turns and snatches the picture back and puts it in her purse. Sly let's out a relived sigh, then gets up as the restraints are finally unlocked. He puts a hand on Carmelita's shoulder, she shakes him off then starts walking away, he chuckles.

"Your still cute when your angry you know." He stretches then rolls in front of her stopping her in her tracks. He then plants a quick kiss on her.

"You know, I've stolen nearly everything in the world their is to steal. But you managed to steal one thing from me, do you know what that is?" He whispers in her ear.

She reluctantly puts an arm around his waist.

"What could I have stolen from the man who steals everything?" She asks as he takes her other hand. He puts her other hand over his heart.

"You stole my heart, and I hope you never let it go." She turns bright red and leans on him trying to hide it, but giggles out loud.

"I don't know if that's the most romantic thing you've said to me, or the chessist pick up line I've heard come from you. Either way it's sweet, and I'm glad ur back Sly." She looks up at him, then pulls him down for a long kiss on the lips.

"Come on Sly let's go home, I have a surprise for you that's been waiting for a year and half." She says with a devilish grin, Sly gets a little sheepish.

"After a year and some time without your touch love, I'm not sure I could last if you just show it to me." He says, her grin widens.

"No you won't last, but I'm sure you'll have no problem continuing for hours on end." She says lightly passing her hand up his thigh slowly watching his face as he shows his clear male urges. She pulls him to the door, Sly waves at the camera saying bye to Bentley and whoever's watching.

Well looks like this is gonna be a long night. And I don't mind at all. He thinks as Carmelita pulls them out to her car. They leave after Carmelita gets in the drivers seat. They laugh as she guns it.

Hey folks. well looks like someones gonna have fun tonight. If you want more detailed love scenes feel free to let me know.

Remember to Keep the Balanace!
