Because I just got lost in your eyes,” he said as I almost spit my drink out, laughing from hearing Dennis tell such a tacky pick-up line.
“Real smooth ,” I agreed and he playfully frowned.
“You’re wounding my ego . You can’t shoot a guy down for trying.”
“Oh please , you don’t need to try. You never had to,” I said as I grabbed the lapels of his tux jacket, pulling him closer to me. “But poor Henry was not working with your advantages,” I said smiling.
“And what are those?” He asked eyeing me.
“Well for one, I love you.” I reached up and brushed my lips against his.
“Touché,” he said with a grin . He took my hand and twirled me around; the skirt of my dress flowed around me as I spun around. “You look magnificent,” he breathed. “And I love you too,” he said stroking my cheek. I touched the back of his hand and smiled at how spellbinding this man is.
Chapter Six
The following morning the hotel attendants finished up loading our luggage into the car. I checked out of the hotel, thanked the receptionist and then walked out with Angelina at my side. As Dillon drove us back to the airport all I could think about was last night, and how amazing Angelina looked in that gown. She was a breathtaking site to look at even though the rest of the auction was a bore to me. I know she enjoyed it since it was something new to her. Dillon pulled onto the tarmac and parked close to the jet; he got out and helped the copilot loaded up our things into the jet. I helped Angelina out of the car and grabbed her hand as I turned to Dillon.
“Thank you Dillon , it’s been a real pleasure,” I said shaking hands with him and he smiled.
“The p leasure was all mine Mr. Evers, have a safe flight and all the best for the future. If you’re ever in Jamaica again sir, please don’t hesitate to call me,” he said as I smiled and nodded.
“Definitely ,” I said and he ducked his head and climbed back into his car. We waved at him as he drove off, then I turned to Angelina.
“Are you ready to go?” I asked and she nodded as we walked towards the jet. Once inside we both took our seats, just before we take off I pulled out my laptop and undid what I did about a month ago.
“Are you uncorrupting the system?” She asked eyeing me. I smiled at how she guessed that, in all honesty she would make a good agent because of her perceptiveness. But I still didn’t like the idea of it.
“Yes, this way the ai r traffic controllers will be expecting this jet to land at JFK and the CIA will know we’re coming,” I said looking at her. She didn’t say anything so I continued. “It’s going to be okay Angelina; you know I won’t let them hurt you right?” I asked reaching over to caress the side of her face. I would kill them all if I had to, including Colin. She nodded. “I will leave the agency if it is a must. Just to know that you’re safe by my side,” I stated. I love being an agent but I love her much more. I will do just about anything for her.
“See t hat’s the thing, I don’t want you to leave the agency. I want to help you, not restrain you,” she groaned. I shook my head no. I was about to protest her when she stopped me with her hand. “I know, and yes this is the only way,” she stated. “Trust me.”
Not wanting to argue with her I let it go as we sat on the sofa cuddling with each other. It was just a little after noon when we landed back at JFK International airport. I called Jared as we waited on the jet to come pick us up and get our luggage. We got out of the jet when I saw Colin standing on the tarmac with three black-suited men standing behind him and two black SUV’s parked up next to them, I groaned. He wasn’t wasting any time. Angelina looked at me questioningly.
“We have a welcomi ng party,” I said sarcastically pointing towards Colin and his men. I heard Angelina gasp beside me and I squeezed her hand reassuringly and leaned down and whispered
