CHAPTER ONE CHAPTER THREE
Tangerine is holding onto your arm tightly, causing some discomfort. He's making you lead him to your house. You just want to get rid of him as soon as possible, but it seems almost impossible. That's because he has a gun, almost too visibly strapped to his waist. And he took the gun you stole from Walker. Son of a bitch.
"You should know that my neighbor is a bit nosy, but she's nothing more than that. So if you try to shoot her or any other shit like that, I'll kill you. She'll probably ask who you are. Please don't say anything that makes you sound like a murderer." You tell Tangerine, who seems to be bothered by something. But after hearing you speak, he lets out a weird little laugh. Okay, not so weird; maybe even sexy.
"Don't worry, sweetheart. I don't intend to cause any extra harm. But rest assured, if you try to play smart, I won't spare any efforts to..." He speaks as he walks alongside you, but you abruptly turn to face him. He seems intrigued but not surprised.
"Why cling to threats? If you want to settle this, settle it with me. Without involving innocent people. Understood?" You speak, a little enraged, looking Tangerine straight in the eyes. The eye contact between you almost feels like a competition of staring each other down. You want to show that you're not afraid because, in truth, you're not. What scares you is that this seems to excite Tangerine.
"You look extremely sexy trying to act brave. I can see why you and Walker built a relationship." Tangerine says, moving even closer to you, as if he's provoking you. You bite your lower lip lightly, thinking that sleeping with the enemy might not be a bad idea and then escaping death. But before you can think of something to reply, your neighbor, Mrs. Johnson, appears on her balcony. She asks who's there, looking in your direction, and Tangerine doesn't seem pleased by this.
"Good evening, Mrs. Johnson. It's me, your neighbor. I brought my late husband's brother for a visit. I hope I didn't disturb you." You say, positioning yourself in front of Tangerine in case Mrs. Johnson sees his weapon. Unfortunately, his body is so close to yours that you can feel his penis lightly pressing against your buttocks. Oops.
"My dear, it's good to see you're taking care of your late husband's family. Just come inside." Mrs. Johnson says kindly. You relax a bit when you notice Mrs. Johnson quickly retreating into her house. What's even more interesting is that Tangerine hasn't moved an inch away from you. He's simply clinging too close to your body.
"Does your neighbor usually meddle, or is it because you never have any company in this fake life you've created?" Tangerine speaks near your ear, his mustache lightly brushing against the corner of your neck.
"She cares about me. And for your information, this life is more real than any other I've had. I grew into espionage. I wasn't a person; I was a product. Now I have a neighbor who cares about me." You reply, knowing deep down he must understand you. Whether he likes it or not, your jobs are alike.
"Oh, my dear, I apologize if I gave the impression that I care about your personal life, my bad. But if you want to tell me your sad story while we're both in the horizontal position, I promise to pretend to care." Tangerine says as he rests his chin on your neck. You turn to face him, wanting so much to slap him in the face.
"Are you suggesting that sleeping with me might make you care about me on a personal level? If so, we can make a deal. You're decent enough." You say, objectifying him. The proposition itself is just an exchange of unnecessary comments, but if he agrees, maybe you'll consider it.
"You know what's the funniest thing about all this? I actually think I would accept your proposition." He says, moving closer to you as if challenging you. But you meet his gaze without flinching.
"Too bad, but now you're going to try to end me. And I'll find a way out of this and kill Walker. Maybe in another life, you'll have better luck." You say, getting very close to Tangerine. His lips look pink up close. In moments, you notice his approach, and even though you fear what he might do, you don't back away. Then Tangerine tucks a strand of your hair behind your ear and lightly holds your face, pulling you towards him. His lips are quickly on yours. Your tongues are once again finding each other. While you run your hands through Tangerine's hair, he firmly grips your waist, almost reaching your butt.
"I don't like to leave anything for later. Which reminds me..." Tangerine grabs your two hands and restrains you with handcuffs. You're surprised but not shocked. But in the end, he even helped you. You hold on to your handcuffed hands and throw everything in his face. Without thinking much you run to your house which is not far away. You barely saw if your blow had any real effect on Tangerine. You just locked yourself in the house. Unfortunately you are not alone.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" You ask, almost shouting. Obviously seeing Walker inside your house didn't make you happy. This damn hot traitor.
"I'm the one who should react like that, you left me in a bad way on that fucking train." Walker says, sitting on your couch. As if he were a damn husband waiting for his wife.
"So, let me get this straight. You hand me over to Tangerine, set a trap for me, and you're just upset because I decided, I don't know, to create a distraction to escape?" You would like to show more anger, but you're too busy figuring out how to escape this situation. Walker seems to have noticed that you're nervous, standing up from the couch and effortlessly throwing the couch against the front door.
"What did you do?" He asks as he grabs other heavy items and piles them against the door to make it difficult for Tangerine to enter.
"He kissed me and handcuffed me, so I used the handcuffs to hit him in the face. Just a reminder, I'm only in this mess because of you." You say, heading to a compartment in your living room that contains some weapons. Walker follows you, making sure to block the back door as well.
"So now it's my fault that you use your lips and then hit the people you were kissing?" Obviously, he would use that against you. You roll your eyes at him as you reach for one of your guns and hand it to him. With the time spent in espionage came the experience of doing things while handcuffed. But Walker grabbed some tool from the kitchen and broke the handcuffs. You didn't even know that was possible.
"You two are starting to look like a boring married couple. Now that you've stopped, let's have an adult conversation." Tangerine says, appearing as someone who must have invaded your house through one of the damn windows. You and Walker automatically look at each other, knowing that this conversation is going to be interesting.
