Clearing the Air

2025-01-24 05:13:02Katy's Point of View.
Carson thanked the man who handed him the keys to the jet and started making his way into the pilot section. I wanted to talk to him. To clear the air. Make things a little bit easier for both of us. We hadn't as much as said anything to each other and for two people that shared a kiss before, it was awkward. Besides... I missed talking to him. I missed seeing him try to be all normal with me, when we both knew he wanted nothing but to just talk like we were the only people in the room. I wasn't supposed to miss all of these, but I did. I followed him to the pilot section, looking back at the others before entering after him without his permission. Adelaide seemed to be in a deep conversation with Morris. Charmaine was pr

Betrayal's Embrace Yes, But First the Truth
Kathy's POVThe fireplace had been on all the while as we lay down on his office floor. It was almost... Magical. But my bones were starting to ache. Regardless, all these was perfect. Well... Almost. I turned to look at him. I knew he was staring at me. Like a little child that thought... Not expected to lose something. We never got the chance to talk. Maybe we'd do it now before we made our way to the plane."You love me, don't you?" I whispered and he rolled his eyes, smiling."I thought you were going to start with something a little bit more scary." He said, chuckling and pressing a light kiss on my temple. His eyes were calm and frantic at the same time. Perhaps I was just seeing things."Love is not scary to you? Well, you're who I want to be when I grow up." I said, and he laughed. It sounded forced. He knew."You know, come to think of it. Yesterday night you almost gave me a heart attack.""How?""When you almost walked out
Betrayal's Embrace The Supervisor from Hell
Charmaine's POV"What in the heck?" The woman who was just threatening me, exclaimed and slowly lowered her gun."Well... I would have said that but wouldn't be nearly as cool since you've already said it." Jack said and shrugged, he put his own gun down too. And I just stood there, grasping to understand what in the heck was going on. The woman rolled her eyes and walked around me, just as her hands started sticking the gun in its place in the holster."Optics said you were kidnapped." She said as she came to stand in front of him. His eyes studied the wound that had started bleeding again. "And shot.""They said I was shot?" Jackson's eyebrow shot up."Well, no. But I can see that for myself now. You were supposed to duck, you know." She said, and he scoffed."I was not given that luxury. This is not training. I'm in the field and I'm being an agent. Do try not to judge me already.""Yes, well. It's kinda my job. So... But don't wor
Betrayal's Embrace Laddertown Promises
Charmaine's POVI raced to his side the minute his eyelids fluttered, breathing thanks to God as he'd been unconscious for hours since we landed in the middle of a small town called Laddertown. Thankfully, he hadn't noticed the disturbing odour of chicken, cow, and goat feces."Where are we?" He asked, trying to get up but only wincing and falling back on the hay that I'd laid him on with the help of the kind farmer that owned the property we'd landed on. Other than the fact that we had almost given his wife a small heart attack and had fallen on his freshly planted corn, I was certain he had nothing else against us."You have to rest, my love. Oh, I'm so glad you're up. What were you thinking, scaring me like that!" I scolded, angry at him like it was his fault he got shot. Like he was the one who pulled Jessica's bullet to his belly."From the look of things, I don't think I'm going to die." He joked, laughing.I gently nudged his shoulder. "Quit
Betrayal's Embrace Lines Crossed, Hearts Tested
Kathy's POV"You have to understand, Carson. If you were standing there long enough, you'd know that it had been him who'd been kissing me. I didn't kiss him." I said, following him into the office and shutting the door after me. The last thing I wanted was for Morris and, especially, Annabel to be dragged into this."So I didn't just see you locking lips with him?" Carson asked, his eyes more deadly than I had ever seen."For crying out loud, no! You have to believe me. He kissed me, and I was pushing him when I heard you step into the office.""You were pushing him, but not hard enough to let him get away from you. Am I supposed to believe that a field agent who had been trained to protect herself above every other thing couldn't fend a man off herself?""There was no way I could do that without hurting him, you know that.""Yes, I do. If you don't mind, I'd really love to be alone right now." He said, then turned his back to me.I
Betrayal's Embrace Where I Stand
Kathy's POV"Hey," Abel said, smiling brightly as he saw that I was the one behind his door. He immediately stepped aside, and I entered. My heart was beating so loudly. Not from fear but from the uncertainty of what was going to happen next. He had to know that my mind was made up. Perhaps that would cause him to stop... Whatever plan I knew for sure that he was hatching. "I thought you would be sleeping by now, Kate."I exhaled slowly, refusing to let that old name he used to call me get in the way. "Well, I couldn't sleep. Besides, there was something that I had to tell you. Something you have to know. It can't wait till morning.""It's more important than sleep?""Well, it definitely is if I'm standing here with you now," I said, trying to place a kind smile on my face. I forgot how good he was at reading me."Are you okay?""I'm great," I said, my voice high-pitched. Of course, I wasn't okay. I was about to be as blunt as I could to Abe
Betrayal's Embrace Before Tomorrow Comes
Annabel's POVThe door banged again, and this time it made me more annoyed rather than laugh. With sleepy rage, I made my way out of the bed and rushed to the door, prepared to scratch the Intruder's face off if I had to. But as I opened the door and found Morris staring back at me, the angry words that had once resided at the tip of my tongue fled.He smiled lightly... At me? I was tempted to look behind me just to be sure. But I didn't do that. "Hey." He said."Hey," I repeated, wondering what to say next. I was afraid to talk again. Morris could barely look at me and the last thing I needed was to say anything that would make the situation worst than it already was."Hi." He said."Hi." I repeated. Again. He chuckled softly and studied me for a while, the laughter still hovering around the corner of his eyes."Are you going to let me in or...?" He trailed, and I frowned slightly. He must have seen the look on my face because he rushed to
Betrayal's Embrace The Choice We Make
Kathy's POV"You don't have to be in here, you know," Carson said quietly as I cleaned his wounds. His eyes wouldn't leave his fists, which were still clenched, regardless of the pain he must have been feeling as it was bleeding."I want to be in here," I said, maybe a bit more forcefully than I intended. He looked up at me but only briefly before he lowered his eyes again. Even without him speaking, I knew what he was doing. He was shutting me out. He was closing his heart just in case..."Hey," I called to him, placing my palm over his roughened jaw. He still didn't look up. "You remember what you said in that garden, right?" I asked and I saw a ghost smile. Perhaps it was just my imagination."I do." He said, the smile was in his voice. I wasn't just imagining it. "How could I forget it. It had to have been one of the best, if not the best, moments of my life."Suddenly in the moods to play games, I said: "you mean when you said you loved me?"
Betrayal's Embrace The Cost of Loving Katherine
Carson's POVMorris sighed as Abel stepped into the office. The tension could have been sliced in half. I hated the situation we were in. Abel and I had always loved to joke around. Morris had always been the quiet one. Now, it was obvious that Morris was doing all he could to fill in the space, and even he was uncomfortable."I want you to know that this meeting will be civil. Neither of you will talk stupidly to each other. Neither of you will make this a wrestling ground. You will be respectful, and we will both act like nothing but adults, do you understand?""Yes," Abel said, nodding. I shrugged."Okay, good. Now, Abel, I don't understand what you said in the living room. Do you mind elaborating further?" Morris said, chuckling. "I do not mean to laugh, but this situation is very complicated. Funny too.""Katherine and I used to love each other." Abel began, and I felt anger rise within me."But that's not the case anymore, is it?" I said, and Abel stared at me for a while, then
Betrayal's Embrace Between Love and Danger
Charmaine's POV"How are we going to do that without dying? I don't know if you have realized this yet, but we are in a plane.""Jet.""Same thing! They both hover in the sky and falling from both of them could give us both broken spines.""I know you're scared, my love—" he began. Oh, he'd called me his love! I would have shot up from my chair and done my crazy happy dance had it not been that he was making a crazy suggestion. And even crazier because it honestly sounded like the best we had so far."It's not about being scared, Jack. It's about being careful. I don't want to fall off from the sky.""You're not going to. I'm going to hold on tight to you and protect you fiercely, you have my word.""Then you'll be doing all the work?" I asked and he nodded his head. He looked happy that I had finally gotten him."No! Absolutely not. Jack, we are parents now. We can't go making crazy decisions. We have a daughter to consi
