Falling for the hitman

Harder than it looks

Lee p.o.v.

Jordan’s comes into the house calling out for Lee and Sophia. “Hey you two were are you I need to talk to you.”

Lee walks out of the bathroom and meets Jordan in the kitchen. “ Hey man, I’m right here what’s up?” Lee says trying to sound casual. His mind is racing, normally he is cool under pressure he has to be but this is a different kind of pressure.

How do you hide it from the person who knows you best that you might be falling for someone. Oh and by the way man it’s your little sister. And on top of that it was the best s*x of my life. Yeah Jordan would kill me or at least try to.

I promised Sophia I’d keep it from him but I honestly don’t know if I can. He’s the only person who can read my like an open book. That’s the only reason he knows what I really do at the Keller Group.

Through the good, bad and ugly it’s always been Jordan there for me . To cheer me on or console me through my family s**t. This will break him if he finds out on his own.

Trying to not look guilty or too pleased for that matter will be difficult. Lee walks up to Jordan and asks where he been . Jordan responds with “ the housing development we are building right now had some code issues that needed resolved.”

“ Have you seen Sophia since breakfast I need to talk to the both of you ? “ Lee try’s to sound as casual as possible when he says “ I believe she went to store. She says you don’t have any good food or booze in the guesthouse. “

Jordan points to the counter and asks Lee to sit down a minute. Lee remains calm if Jordan really knew anything he’d be trying to swinging on him by now. Even though they both know it wouldn’t faze Lee.

Thinking about it though if Jordan did find out he’d have every right to hit me and I would have to let him do it. I hope it don’t come to that though.

Jordan continues talking “ I wanted to wait until dinner but I gotta ask are you cool with sharing the guesthouse with Sophia? I mean if it’s a problem I can have her stay up here . I wasn’t expecting her and I don’t want to ruin your stay or anything. But to be honest I’ve been seeing someone . And …”

Lee’s never one to cut someone off from speaking he finds it rude but what the hell Jordans been seeing someone and said nothing . When did all this happen, is that why he came to see me a few months back.

The second he got there he got distracted by me telling him about my motorcycle accident in Spain 5 months ago now.

“ Bro. No need to say anymore, that guesthouse is more than big enough to share with Sophia. Your good no worries man.” Lee was thinking it will make it easier for him and Sophia to sneak around and see if they got a real shot here or if it’s a one off.

Jordan stands up and hugs Lee’s good arm this time. Good thing Lee thought, I’ve been using my busted one to much with Sophia I’m not sure how much more pressure I can put on it.

“ thanks man means a lot . I have to go shower and change before dinner . You okay with take-out tonight ? As important as this dinner is I just don’t have the energy to cook tonight .” Jordan yells as he heads down the hallway to his and Lizzy’s master bedroom.

Lee takes that as a cue to leave, he heads out the back door and down to the guest house. Hoping to find Sophia back from the store so they can talk before dinner.

Sophia p.o.v.

While trying to find a space to put everything she grabbed at the store Sophia couldn’t stop thinking about this morning with Lee. Since he was here first Jordan is going to let him have the guest house I’m sure. Which I guess it only fair but what if I want to see Lee again ? How in the hell do I explain if Jordan caught me sneaking in or out of the house.

I’m gonna have to persuade him be cool with me being down here. I mean it’s Jordan he will give in he always does. He’s never been able to tell me no. Then again what if Lee’s changed his mind and he wants it to be a one off.

Men don’t change overnight, not for someone like me anyways. Over the years I tried to get Oliver to try more daring things in the bedroom but he just wasn’t into it.

Maybe this was a mistake or just a one time deal. Why ruin a good memory by trying to recreate it or prolong it. I mean Lee’s only here to recover then back off to whatever his damn mystery life is in Tennessee.

I’m not sure what in the hell I’m doing, I mean I’m not going back to Oliver or that apartment. Him and my job were the only thing keeping me in Georgia. What if I started fresh here at home? That would please mom and dad right?

Lee p.o.v.

Walking into the kitchen of the guest house I see Sophia deep in thought. She’s unpacking bags of groceries and putting them away. I don’t know what in the hell I’m aloud to do here in this situation. I’ve never been here before in my life. My parents sure as hell weren’t a good example.

Mr. and Mrs. Hill’s is all I got to go by, I know pop Sean would walk up behind mama Rose and grab her from behind and just hold her. It’s funny I’m taking relationship cues from the woman I’m trying to woo’s parents .

Wait, what in the f**k am I doing ? Did I just say I’m trying to woo a woman ? This is all new to me, do I want to risk my lifestyle and career on a relationship ? Do I just see where this next month leads and go from there? I’ve never been a spur of the moment guy until now . Sophia what have you done to me ?

I decide to just go with it and walk up behind her and surprise her. As I reach her and place my arm around her and nuzzle my face into her neck she giggles a little. Letting me know I made the right decision.

Sophia stops what she is doing and turns to face me. She places her hands around my waist and her head on my chest. I don’t know why but this just feels right. Why I never wanted this before I don’t understand.

It’s nice to feel wanted and needed by someone. We stand there like that for a long while just embracing each other. Nothing s****l about it just the comfort of knowing that the other person is there for you.

I could really enjoy this for the next month I’m here . That is if she stays and don’t go back to Ringgold. I hate to break this trance but I gotta ask her. I feel like I’m always ruining the moment with my stupid questions.
