Chapter 31: The Decision

Liam Hunt's POV

"That was amazing," Mia said as we laid on the bed after our little workout, well hours and hours of workout. It was almost dawn right now as we were staying up all night to catch up on our lives of 6 months apart.

"Hmm," was the only answer that I can give to her. She looked at me and turned her body at me. She put her head on her hand and elbowed it to look at me. Her ample bosoms were on display as the sheets were dropping from her chest.

"what's wrong?" She asked as I got up from the bed. She got up as well.

"You need to go now," I said as I walked to the wardrobe to look for my working clothes. Mia chuckled at me.

"are you serious?" She asked me. I looked at her bored. She scoffed at me before getting up from the bed and walked toward me.

"Why should I leave so soon, you will be going to work at 8 AM. the sun is not up yet," she said as I took my suit and put it at the changing section.

"My girlfriend will be coming over soon," I lied as I went to pick the tie. Mia scoffed again.

"you don't have a girlfriend. You were looking for me that you don't have time to date," she said and I turned around furiously.

"and whose fault was that?" I shouted as Mia was quiet for a second before I turned around and sighed heavily.

"I understand, Goodbye, Liam," was the last thing she said before she closed the bedroom door and I was sitting on the floor.

"goodbye, Liam Hunt," was also the last thing that she said at me on the rooftop. I opened my eyes and took the robe before I ran out of the bedroom.

"Mia!, Mia!," I shouted for Mia as I went out of the bedroom and living room. I searched every room in the house and she was nowhere to be found. I went outside of the apartment and looked into the streets. She was nowhere to be found as I looked left and right off the street.

"You messed up again, Hunt," I said to myself as I walked back into the apartment.

"I thought you might come to your senses again," Mia's voice filled the living room.

"Mia," I whispered as I looked at her where she was sitting on my sofas. Our aftermath of the fight was still visible as the broken vases and pillows were on the floor as well as our clothes from last night.

"I thought you have run away," I said as I went to hug her as I pulled her from her seat.

"I missed you too," she said as she returned my hug.

I have called Noah that I was sick (in love) and would like to take a few days off. Noah was asking a lot of question but he finally gave up when he told me,

"well, you're the boss," he said on the phone earlier.

"So what do you want to do," Mia asked me as we were cuddling in the bed, tangled with the sheets and the smell of our sex.

"hmm, I don't know. What do you want to do?" I asked her back. She looked at me with bored eyes.

"Really, Hunt? You want to play that way, fine. I want to eat. We have been in the bed since last night and I was starting to get some energy after all the energy that we used in this very bed," she said as she was getting and putting on my robe. I looked at her back before she turned around and looked at me that was staring at her.

"What?" She asked. I chuckled at her as I shook my head.

"Nothing, it just I was amazed by you," I said as I got up from the bed with all my naked glory.

"Oh, and why is that?" She asked me as I pulled her for a kiss.

"because you will be killer of my life," I said as I looked at her dearly.

"and so you are to me," she said before she pulled me again for a kiss.

After our little workout, we went out of my apartment that was located near to the downtown of Edinburgh city. It was a wonderful place with a lot of people from around the world and the tourists were everywhere.

"What should we eat for a late lunch?" Mia asked me as I looked around to find a good spot for eating.

"There are too many people out there. Why don't we just cook at home? I wanted to eat your homemade pasta," I said as I took her hand and kissed her knuckles.

"oh, stop. You're going to make me blush," Mia said as we went into a supermarket with our hands interlocked. I took a trolley and pushed it as Mia was scanning for ingredients for our late lunch and dinner.

"now, we're going to need basil, extra virgin olive oil, pasta, cheese parmesan, and grated feta," Mia said as she looked at me.

"Okay, I will get the basil and olive oil. You get the rest," I said as I went out to get the ingredients.

"Why don't we just go together then?" Mia said as she pushed me around as we went through aisle by aisle.

"can we buy this, and this, and this?" She asked as she looked like a child that was opening a present for Christmas. I chuckled at her cute reaction as she was so oblivious to everything.

"Love, we have that at the apartment. Don't worry. We only need the ingredients for food," I said as I took the shampoo from her hand.

"But I don't use your shampoo," she whined. I perked her nose.

"Fine, but just the personal care for you as you will not be sharing my stuff," I said as her face lightened up. She then went to get some of her stuff. toothbrush, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant and moisturizer and sunscreen. She put it in the trolley in front of me as I looked at her stuff.

"What, I'm a woman. I need all these," she said as I looked into the trolley that was half full with her stuff.

"Okay, fine let's go," I said as I pushed the trolley to get to the cashier and paid for all of this.

As soon as we got back to our apartment, we have a lot of plastic bags that we did not intend to use or buy as we have a lot of stuff to carry from the supermarket.

"at least I will be like I am home when I have all the stuff that you bought for me," Mia said as she unpacked the groceries and started on our lunch/dinner.

"yeah, I hope it will last," I said jokingly. Mia stopped her action and looked at me.

"What was that supposed to mean?" She asked as she looked at me murderously.

"I mean that you will not run away again and stay where you belong, with me, here, in Edinburgh, not on some crazy journey to find yourself," I said trying to recover from insulting her but I think I just stepped into the danger zone.

"crazy? So all I ever did after 6 months of leaving you were crazy? that's it," she put down the pasta and went out of the kitchen.

"I'm out," she said as she tried to take off the engagement ring for the second time. seriously, this woman needed to make up her mind.

"Mia, I just joking. I would not actually mean it. I'm sorry," was all I said before she sighed and looked at me.

"I'm sorry. I don't why I have so sensitive lately," she said as she rubbed her temples.

"it's okay. I understand. It was my fault too," I said as I hugged her and she hugged me back. I smiled as the phone rang at that perfect moment.

"Sorry," I said before picking up the phone of my house.

"Hunt's residence," I said and at the end of the line was Noah.

"lad, I have the information about the Femme Fatales. It was an organization that trained women to be super spy/assassin. It was being organized under the United States of America government so they are pretty legal and untouchable. Sorry lad," he said as I sighed before rubbing my temple.

"You know what, just forget about that organization. I don't need it anymore," I said as I looked up from the floor and looked at Mia was sitting seductively on the sofas in front of me.

"I gotta go, I'll talk to you later," was all I said and I did not notice that Noah was talking to me before I hang up.

"So, what's this organization of Femme Fatales that you guys talked about?" She asked as she stood up from the seat.

"It was related to the new case that I was working on. Apparently, a certain femme fatale has killed an important diplomat," I said as I walked toward her.

"sounds familiar, don't you think?" She asked as I went to look at her suspiciously.

"Now, why is that?" I asked. She looked at me as I was looking, more like staring, at her. She sighed before looking at me.

"fine, you win. You got the answer. I was one of the founders for the Femme Fatales organization," she said.

"Mia, I told you not to get into that business anymore," I said as I hold her by arm's length.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I came back to Scotland was to say that I will never see you again. My mission was to make you get mad at me and don't want to see me again," she said as she caressed my face.

"but what can I do? You're too good for me, Liam," she said as she hugged me with her arms around my neck. I was speechless while I was busy thinking to get her out of that business, any means necessary.
