Only During Missions
Ryan woke up completely frustrated from the night before. His sleep had been on and off due to what had happened. He lay on his back and looked down to see his morning erection. He had dreamed of Aleca again, dreamed of her lips on his and her body next to his. He quickly got up and took as cold a shower as possible and after getting dressed in black dress pants and a white polo, walked downstairs.
When he arrived to the kitchen, Jennifer and Tandor already sat at the table, going over faxes that had arrived that morning.
“Morning you two.”
“Hey there big guy. You look horrible,” Jennifer laughed.
Ryan smiled and asked, “So where’s Ace?”
Tandor and Jennifer assumed he was talking about Aleca, neither knowing that it had been his nickname for her long ago. “Sitting outside, smoking and reading the faxes that came in this morning.”
“Smoking? She smokes?”
Tandor and Jennifer both found his tone a little odd. Both however chose to remain silent and simply answer. “Only during missions,” Tandor replied taking a sip of coffee.
“Other than missions she doesn’t smoke. She says smoking gives her something normal to focus on during missions. She’s weird that way. She smokes Djarum Cigarettes. Vanilla. They aren’t that strong. Anyways, it’s not an everyday life sort of thing with her,” Jennifer said holding up faxes. “Take these and read them. You and Aleca are to go to a Luncheon today. By the way if you needed to talk to her she is next to the pool.”
He took them and grabbing a cup of coffee went outside.
“Was I the only one who noticed...?”
“No Jenni, I noticed too....”
~~~~
“Hey Ace since when do you smoke?”
Aleca looked up to see Ryan pulling the chair next to her out from under the table and sitting down. The sound of his nickname for her startled her. She wore blue skirt that fanned out a little from her hips down and a white tank top. Her hair was up in a ponytail, her curls bouncing as she shook her foot. “Uh... I don’t.”
~Atleast she answered me today~ he thought and laughed. “What’s that cigarette doing in your mouth then?”
“Oh... I only do during missions. Don’t ask why. I’ve been doing it during missions since I went on my first one alone with Agent Thomas.”
“Rick Thomas? You went on a mission alone with him? He only takes the best new agents out. Some classes he refuses to take their best even if all the newbies have to go on a mission with an expert. You... must have graduated pretty high.”
“Yeah... he taught me alot. Apparently he also taught me smoking on missions. He, however, smokes all day, every day, even when he’s not on a mission. I do not. Kaiylee... I mean....” She got quiet, looking back at the faxes laid out in front of her.
“Aleca look...,” Ryan started but Aleca cut him off.
“Don’t okay? I am sorry I was mad at you. And... and I....”
“Can’t tell me what I want to know? Look, I won’t ask okay? You tell me what you need to tell me whenever YOU want to tell me. Look Ace, we need to make this whole married thing look real. I’m not going to bother you about whatever it is anymore. Just please stop shutting me out. I’ve missed you for too damn long to have you shutting me out. Don’t treat me like a leper. Don’t ignore me.”
“Fine then...,” she sighed.
“Fine... now hand me one of your girly tasting cigarettes and tell me what’s happening today because I hate reading these damn faxes.
She allowed herself to laugh and handed him a cigarette. “Luncheon. In about an hour and a half. Since his cover is a man who deals in diamonds, Federico and his wife are attending a charity event for the local museum. I guess the museum just got a huge ass diamond for it’s collection of precious stones. Guess who donated it.”
“Our man,” Ryan said, observing Federico’s picture.
“Yep. So he will be there. And we need to be there too. Apparently we donated 2.5 million to the museum.”
“Nice. Well when are we leaving?”
“Soon. We need to make a connection. They arranged for us to sit at his table. Basically this is the boring part of the mission. Information.” She sighed and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray. “We need to get on him friendly side. Informants are saying he’s throwing one of his parties tomorrow night. That’s our chance to get a feel for the place and look around. His mansion is his base of operations.”
“He’s not a smart one I’m starting to notice.”
“He’s sloppy. I can see that from his history. Plus, if he was good, we wouldn’t have so much information it can put me to sleep.”
Ryan laughed and pressed the cigarette into the ashtray next to hers. “Well let’s go Ace.” He got up and looked down at her face. He could have kissed her then, she looked extremely beautiful sitting there, looking up into his eyes. “You forgave me right?”
Aleca hesitated. She couldn’t believe how quickly she had let him get on her good side again. But she didn’t question it too much because she couldn’t lie, she had missed him too. And she had forgiven him. She just couldn’t bring herself to tell him about Kaiylee. Not yet. She wasn’t exactly sure why not but she just couldn’t. “Yeah, I forgive you.”
“Then come on Alejandra. We have a luncheon to attend. Food better be good.”
“Of course it is Cameron, this is my homeland. We have the BEST food.” She smiled and getting up, she followed him back inside.
