"How on earth are you taking a mint flavored ice cream? Are you some kind of frost queen?"
Chloe eyed Amir who was staring at her in wonder as she enjoyed the bowl in her hand. "It is not as bad as you are making it sound."
"Just let me stick with my chocolate can," he said as Chloe extended her tub to him.
"So," she licked off some cream off her spoon. ",why does this guy crave ice cream a lot? We are literally transporting ice cream enough for twenty kids." Her eyes flickered to the huge box seated right next to the driver's seat strapped securely.
"Sebastian just has this craze for ice cream because he never got any when he was little. So he makes up for it by taking a lot now that he is all grown up."
"Did his mother deprive him of ice cream or what?"
"Something like that."
"That sucks."
"Hmm, speaking of something that sucks..." Chloe groaned inwardly as she could feel a dirty joke coming. "How is it that someone like you,
With no time wasted, the both of them rushed their way into the club, the same question on their minds.Why was Lucille there?Well, they were already few steps away from finding that out. Almost dramatically, the both of them barged into room 006 startling Lucille who was equally shocked to see that she had company."Lucille, I need you to explain why you are here. What do you have to do with all of these?"With a slight motion of her head, she shifted backwards, leaving Amir's questions unanswered. Chloe noticed that her movements were being made towards the rose."Lucille," she decided to take up the questioning. ",what is going on?""Why are you with him?" Lucille almost spat.Chloe frowned as she took a few steps forward. "What do you mean?" she carefully asked as the atmosphere tended towards a delicate feel.Lucille's raised her hand and pointed towards, a kind of untold fright on her face. "Him... Amir... why are
Chloe had no idea why she had thought that they would be going to a cemetary. It would have been a bit creepy if they actually did.But, Amir had mentioned his mother in a way that would make one think that she was dead. But she wasn't.She was across the street in a restuarant with two young boys and a man who couldn't take his eyes off her or take down his really large smile as he wished her a happy birthday and watched her blow out the candle lights."Uh... Amir..." Chloe shook him out of his dazed state. "Aren't you going in to wish her? Standing here is a little bit weird.""Wish her?" He bluntly pushed her suggestion away. "She made it clear that she never wants to see my face. She thinks I am bad luck.""But you are not, right?" She could imagine the look on the face of a younger Amir who had just being told by his mother that he is bad luck. The kind of thing hurts."I don't know. Maybe to her, I am. But to me," he sighed. ",I am jus
Chloe's head was banging like she had downed thirty pints of alcohol the previous night. Groaning lightly as she sat up, Chloe wondered what could be the cause of her discomfort.Something on her bed buzzed before she could figure that out.As she reached for the satchel tucked within her sheets, a loud sneeze came causing her even more distress. Sniffling, she took out her smart watch and with the quick decision of taking a risk that moment, she didn't bother to get off her bed.She was feeling too weak anyway."Agent Pepper here," she said when she connected her headset."What on freaking bollocks earth do you think you are doing, Pepper?""Agent Markings?" She recognized that angry voice anywhere. She hated that angry voice and the man who yielded it, he just always got on her nerves."No Chloe, this is your mother." Chloe just had to manage a sigh and an eye roll at his sarcasm. "Why on earth are you helping a suspect?""So
Being someone who liked to pride herself in her little strength, Chloe was really hating the fact that her illness was barely getting better. And since she refused to go to a hospital, Amir and Gabriel had her put on an absolute bed rest for a whole day with restrictions on her movement.And that made her hate the illness even more.Sniffling as she helped herself up, her mind traveled to Nathaniel who hadn't been seen in the house since Gabriel's little... confession. Or maybe declaration was a better word.Even though she always felt that she had no use for human relations, she felt really kind of sad that he did not even peep into her room once. She had some kind of expection in her that he would come at some point. But perhaps she expected too much.She was letting just two dates and a few encounters and a kiss lead her mind into thinking too much.But despite him, one thing was sure. She was really grateful to Amir and Gabriel who took turns t
Nathaniel jolted out of his slumber as a whimpering voice pierced his ears. At first, he was bit out of it, but within few seconds of darting his eyes across the room, he finally remembered where he was.The whimpering came again. His head snapped towards Chloe who was asleep but struggling to stay still. Hurriedly, he went to her side and placed his palm over her forehead which was very hot to the touch.She mumbled something as she clutched the sheets covering her tightly.Even more worried, his face moved closer giving him a better view of her face whose side was lined with a line of tears. He frowned. She had been crying ever since he met her struggling to move in her room.Without exactly intending to, his hand drew forward and grazed over her cheek. Slowly, like it were a dangerous valley, he set a finger over her line of tears and wiped them off.Then, his eyes moved to her lips. He smiled.He still thought of that night. He could nev
A much less sick Chloe could not help but nibble on her thumb as the day grew darker with no news about Nathaniel or what had happened to him. Gabriel and Amir had rushed out of her room after the call and since then, they had not come around.With no intention of being confined any further to her bed or even to the room, she got off and made for a little box beside her bed that held her clothes. Even though she wasn't particularly sure what it was she was going to do after putting them on, she put them on anyway, hurriedly getting rid of the hospital gown.She was about to make for the door when Amir came in. With his brows going up, he asked, "Are you going somewhere?""I am just tired of this place.""And..." he moved closer, his arms folded with an amused look on his face. "Where were you going to go when you leave this place?"Chloe's steps fell backwards and until she hit the edge of the bed, she didn't stop. Almost grimacing at how ridiculou
Chloe completely froze. Her eyes carried the shock Gabriel's action had on her momentarily.But she recovered fast. And within few seconds she wondered whether to push Gabriel away or perhaps go along and see how Nathaniel would react. She felt there would be something fun to notice, so she went for the second option.Taking even Gabriel by surprise, she placed a hand on his cheek, tilted her head a bit more then, returned his kiss. As he took her invitation and intensified his kiss, Chloe found her mind going to Nathaniel.Almost instinctively, she flashed her eyes open to look his way. His folded arms were there, but his eyes didn't hold that much confidence his body language was trying to give.Her choice didn't turn out to be fun. Chloe felt somewhat terrible and that caused her to withdraw from the mouth lock. As she slowly slid her hand off Gabriel's jaw, her head slowly moved in Nathaniel's direction.Her lower lip sucked in as soon as their
"Rise and shine!" Chloe groaned as someone disturbed her sleeping position and had the sun in her face. Chloe felt the human presence in her room very close to her. Almost dejectedly, she opened her eyes slowly to meet Amir's which were watching her in a weird way."Amir!" She complained as she pushed him off with a force that had him on the floor in no time."Jeez Chloe..." She sat up immediately as she wondered if she had hurt him. "Why are you so violent?"Her teeth clenching her lower lip, Chloe peered from where she sat at Amir. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to.""I was just trying to wake you up," he said as he got off the floor."By staring hard at me?" she asked with a confused frown.He waved off her question. "Oh, whatever. We have work to do today Chloe, so get your beautiful ass off that bed."She immediately wore an amused look. "I know my butt is gorgeous. Ah-thank you. But don't say the word ass, it reminds me of a donkey.
