Assassination Couples

Chapter 8

He left..

But he'll be back.

As he was leaving, his back was facing us. I looked away from him and look at Vilea who is smirking at me. She looks creepy when she smirks so much.

"It happened, didn't it?" She said smiling widely. What happened? What is she talking about? I made a confused and she just laughed at me. "You don't need to hide it, you just need to say it"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Tell me what you're talking about so I wouldn't be so confused" and she just chuckled. She took a sip on her milkshake and looked at me again.

"You guys did it, didn't you?" She said in a serious tone. I'm still as confused as ever and she asked me to lean over. "You're not a virgin anymore, aren't you?" She whispered and I shushed her.

"We're at a public place! This isn't a place to talk about those things!" I said. Leaning back to my seat.

"Oh so you did do it" She said as she smirked and laughed at my face.

"No we didn't!!" I unexpectedly shouted. Then as I realized I shouted I covered my mouth immediately and I bow my head realizing how embarrassing that was.

"Okay, Let's be serious already" She said. "Mr. Bryche told me to take you to the agency, he said he needs to talk to you about your mission with the overseas worker"

"Great" I said sarcastically "I hope the overseas worker is a woman"

"Mostly, overseas workers are men, especially agents of Blue Dogs Company"

"It would be good if I get lucky to have a female partner"

"Let's discuss more of it at home" She said as I looked amazed on her empty glass. "That's fast"

"I guess I'm just hungry, I'll probably eat at home, wanna eat with me?" She asked and I responded with a nod.

As we arrived in her house, her dog came in to greet her and her husband, Altair, is lying on the couch watching TV. the place is a mess, dirty plates, leftover food, and the DVDs are everywhere. As he saw her, he got up and started to pretend and clean up.

"What. Is. This." Vilea said in a serious tone with her arms crossed. I guess Altair is afraid of Vilea so much.

"Uhhh food and movies?" He asked as he looks like he's trembling. "Wanna watch with me?" He smiled as he held one of the DVDs.

"Clean up your mess and after you finish, get to your room. We need to talk about your cleanliness and orderliness of your things" She told him.

"Then can you give me a kiss?"

"Nope. Not until you finish cleaning, you are not getting those" then he started slacking off again. I think he wouldn't really work before he gets what he want. "Ugh fine"

They walked towards each other and she gave him a kiss and Altair starts cleaning, happily. He notices me. "Oh hey Anette" We waved at each other "Nice dress" I forgot the dress I'm wearing was quite catchy. "Thank you"

"Finish your work already" She told him then she turned to me "Sorry. He just tends to be like this every time he's on his day off" She told me. And I responded with a chuckle before we fixed everything we needed before we go to the agency. She told me to not change my clothes anymore since we will be back again soon but I told her that people might get suspicious. But she insisted and when she insists on something you can never EVER take it down.

We arrived at the agency and as we entered, we were greeted by Mr. Bryche. "Good morning champs, how are you doing today?"

"We're doing fine, just shocked that you suddenly called us so urgently" Vilea explained. Uh huh real urgent huh?

"I apologize for that matter. Especially you Anette, I heard of your meeting with your boyfriend yesterday and sorry for calling you in so early" He said as we walk to his office. He even knew about my date?

"It's alright sir. He also has things to do. And how did you know about my date yesterday?" I asked, confused. We entered My. Bryche's office and I closed the door.

"I have my own ways. Anyway, the overseas agent just arrived a little while ago, we talked about meeting you the other day that's why I just told Vilea, because I couldn't reach you."

"I'm sorry sir, it will never happen again" I apologized as he offered us to sit down. I was nervous..

Why am I nervous? I'm sweating.. why? Why do I feel some kind of connection? "Now.." He said "Would you like to meet the overseas worker?"

"Yes sir" I replied. He then took his walkie-talkie and a buzzing sound was heard. "Let agent Cunningham in, over"

Agent Cunningham huh? Neat. Wait a second.. "excuse me sir, Is the overseas worker a man or a woman?" I asked as I hear the door creek open.

"Ask that to yourself woman" A voice said. Wait. I know that voice.. Could it— no. nononono NO WAY!! I turned around and saw very familiar face!! Both our eyes widen, our jaws dropped, and both took a step backwards.

"NO WAY!" Vilea shouted, frightened Mr. Bryche.

"ANETTE?!/NOAH?!" We both said at the same time. With looks of confusion and disbelief.

"Sir!! Is it Agent Cunningham?!" I asked Mr. Bryche as he leaned back, terrified of what will happen next. "Yeah" Disbelief is written over my face, this unexpected meeting is dumbfounding.

"Wait!" I walked towards him and crossed my arms. I shoot him a deadly glare. "You said you were going on a business trip! You said your business trip was about a month, and you said—"

"Why are you getting angry at me? YOU said you have to help VILEA in editing her video for work! AGENT JUNNIPER!!" He puts some force in Vilea's name because she got involved.

"Where did you-?" I took a look at Mr. Bryche and he's pretending he's not hearing anything. Whistling and reading the newspaper. WHAT? NEWSPAPER IN 2 IN THE AFTERNOON?! I looked back at Noah. "EXPLAIN YOURSELF!!!"

"YOU EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" He shouted back.

"you two know each other?" Asked Mr. Bryche. I rolled my eyes to him.

"Isn't it obvious?/What are yah? Blind?" We asked at the same time again.

"Both of you, sit down for a minute" We both sat and avoided eye contact for a while.

"Sorry for interrupting your quarrels but I must ask... how are you related to each other?" We both paused and stared at each other. "Hmm?"

"I uhh we.. umm we're..." I was stammering.

"We're dating" He suddenly said. I feel so embarrassed, letting my feelings overpower me and bursting here. How stupid of me..

"What?" His face shows pure amazement. "So he was your date yesterday, Anette?!"

I made a quiet face palm and turned to look at him again. "Yes sir.."

"Haha I can't believe my best friend is dating my chief lieutenant" He laughs, making me embarrassed.

"What a coincidence" Mr. Bryche said. "I believe both of you are surprised to see each other and not anyone else" he grins.

"And I see both of you didn't change clothes" Vilea added. Ugh Vilea.. I became more embarrassed than ever.

"Look, I'm sorry for shouting a while ago" I apologize to him "I was just surprised and it's all hard to take in so quickly and—" He stood and took me by surprise and pulled me for a hug.

"I'm sorry also, for not telling you. I was just scared of losing you"

"I said the same thing to myself" I returned the hug. Mr. Bryche and Vilea's atmosphere was getting a little too awkward and decided to give us some privacy. They left the room and all that's left was us.

"Did you think we kinda made them weird?" I asked him and chuckled. But his facial expression was different from mine.

"Who cares? Isn't that a good thing?" He asked seductively. He started wrapping his arms around my waist and getting closer. His eyes are just sparkling as he stares at me. I start to walk backwards as he gets closer to me until I was against the wall. I started to whisper.

"Noah! We at the office of Mr. Bryche and there's a CCTV" I explained quietly.

"I know, and I also know that the person behind that CCTV has a huge crush on you. This is just a way I could tell him you're mine" He said. Brushing his fingers on my cheek.

"How did you—" He then started with a passionate kiss. I was denying but I couldn't help but go on with him. I started to wrap my arms around his neck and he pulled me closer. He then hoisted me up to Mr. Bryche's table still kissing me. He wants to enter his tongue into my mouth but I refused, then he suddenly squeezed my bottoms making me gasp. He took the opportunity to enter his tongue. He went rougher than before, but as he started to lick my neck, I stopped him.

"Let me remind you, we're in Mr. Bryche's office, not home" I explained and he looked at me full of loss.

"Finee but sooner or later we'll be continuing that till the end~" He said as he gave me a peck in the lips to finish off. I went down the table and sat on the chair in front of him. Just staring at him as I smile happily. But something keeps on bothering me..

"How did you end up being a spy?" I asked him, curiously.
