Jessica's point of view

"You must be insane. You want me to go on a mission with you? Oh God, you are finally losing it."

He must be out of his mind

"Don't even think that for a minute, this is strictly business. I got a computer geek called Ricky and he Is meeting us on the highway in the next two hours," He paced the room and walked back to me.

"I was called upon a couple of days ago, lives are on the line, innocents. A gang from the East is going to a Gallery to get some artifacts that are worth over three million dollars. They'll kill whoever and however, they have to, to get what they want."

"There is only one way to stop them because I know what they are going to do, they are going to bomb the place," He sat down on a sofa and got up, clapping his hands together he stands in front of me again.

"I can't be in two places at a time. I need you in my eyes, in case Kevin comes back. I'll need you to help me to get Rollins under my protection once and for all and I need you alive to that."

"What are you saying?" I knew deep down he would need a partnership, but me? That never came to mind.

"If you don't come with me. I don't think there is anything else here to distract me, joining this mission helps Jessica, it doesn't only help me, but it helps me not to kill him, believe me, I want him dead." Revenge and mix emotions seep from him. It circled him and his eyes begged me to say yes.

"Under one condition," I said, knowing I'll be asking for a lot.

"Name your price," He sat next to me.

"I'm going as a friend, not as your girlfriend or your fling thing."

For a moment he looks at me as if I have two heads, then allows my words to connect.

"Okay, as my friend, one more thing first, something I wanted to do."

"What?"

"This," Just like that he sweeps his head down and pressed his lips to mine, automatically I felt my lips respond. Savouring the feeling of his lips against mine, a sexy tingling heat ran down to my toes.

"Woah! Sorry!" Mary said and we quickly broke apart, he stood up and turn his back. I heard Mary's footsteps running away and I got up and walked behind him. Shyly, I lay my fingers on his shoulders and he looks at me sideways. I trail my fingers across his muscles and his eyes burned into my skin.

"What are you doing?"

"I have no idea," Like an innocent girl I said, he grabs my wrist and pulled me to his chest.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Do you want me to teach you?" He whispered.

"Friends don't do that," I whispered back and pulled away.

"Are you ready?" He came to my bedroom and asked an hour later. I was already packed and so I nodded.

Trevor's point of view

As I stare at her, I knew that it was more than just wanting her sexually. It's like I want her around, I crave for her to be there to look at, to hear her voice.

Almost everything thing in my life is a coverup story and I don't feel like a coverup around her. It's like am finally healing from my dad's death.

You have to start over. That's what they say. But life is not a board game, and losing a love one is never really 'starting over' More like ' continuing without.'

My dad was gone. He'd died on a mission gone wrong, in the forest. But according to cover-ups, he slipped away in a comma at a hospital. I was still in gang bang. I didn't even get to say goodbye. It was like learning of the earth's destruction while on the moon or in space.

Recently I would think about him, constantly now and then, including Kevin and Rollins, and if he would get him away from me. It was the only thing that fueled me, anger kept me going and I realized it was also tearing me apart.

I would drape myself in the sad memory because it was the closest thing to having him around. I would work at the office, sorting through documents meanwhile puffing away at cigarettes.

But all those haunted memories are
Suddenly replaced by her.

"Are you going to stare at me all day?" She asked, leaning her head to the side. That long beautiful neck.

I must be insane, agreeing to just be friends

"If you allow me, I will," I watched her move her hips as she walked, tall and slim, and I never watched how a body looks but I have to admit, this is what I was missing.

"Are you going to answer me?" I asked and she hands me the key. I closed the door for her and took her bag.

"I'll put these in the car for you," I said, a little pissed that she is ignoring me.

"I'm going to say goodbye to Rollins," She let loose her hair and it fell down her back. Long black silk, she had removed the curls.

"Okay," I signal to Tarzan and gave him the bag.

"Just put it beside mines in the trunk. The black Car!"

"Mary!"

"Yes! Talk to me, what and how and how and how and how?" She came from the kitchen, with a half-eaten sugary donut in between her fingers, She batted her eyelashes at me and I thought ' she is  fit for a cop' Good cop yes, bad cop no.
There is so much to her, playful side, the devil of a sister, and the grown-up woman she is.

" I love you," I said to her pulling her to me."If you know how much I love you, you would grow twins."

"Awww, you haven't said that to me in years," She pulled away and pecked me on the cheek and I smiled.

"Don't get soft on me, maybe this will cheer you up. The kiss was hot, like really fucking heated, she has no idea how much I try not to strip her."

"Wow, Dragon with control? strange."

"You make me sound like a wild dog."

"Tsk, Tsk," She waved her Index at me and stuff her mouth with the donut. I wondered why cops always fancy donuts or ice creams.

"You didn't just call me one under pretence, did you?" I squint my eyes at her, knowing that I've been pretty much a wild dog lately. She laughed at me but I wasn't offended, so I smiled and it felt great smiling.

I grab her by her arm and said teasingly, "Did You know you should check out Tarzan? Can you see those hot muscles he has? He'll lift you like no man could."

"You are crazy," She wrings her arms from me and watched as Tarzan climbs up the steps.

"Just look at his biceps, look at his chest, lower body, Daaaamn, don't you see?"

"Did you turn gay overnight?" Her eyebrows raised and she grin.

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows, I guess the kiss fried my brain," I widen my eyes, with an extra shocking face, then I frowned.

"Haaaahhahahaah. I love you too Trevor, come here, you are the best brother anyone could ever ask for," And she hugged me, like the big sister she is and it felt great.

"I'm ready," Jessica said, exiting the room with a big smile on her face.

"Well, let's hit the road."

I waited outside until they exchange goodbye.

"Take care of each other!" Mary said from the steps. Waving.
We entered the car and I said to her.

"We take care of each other, that's what friends do right?" I asked starting the car and looking across from her.

"If you can take your hands off me."

"Well I don't think so, because I forgot to say one thing to you, for us to get inside the building; I need a wife."

---------------------------------------------------------

Damn.

My eyes would pop from my head if I was Jessica.

He needs a wife.
