Her eyes start to tear up which causes mine to as well.

"Natalie, it wasn't you who needed a partner it was me. More than ever. Women are the backbone of all men. Guys, we put up a tough front for the world but when we come to you we lean on you guys for strength and energy."

"You're my strength and energy and I'm sorry it took me a while to say this, but I couldn't wait."

I said it.

The word "love" wasn't something I said to many things at all.

I loved sleep, my family and her.

The only three things I need .

I look at her as green eyes start pooling, staining her tanned cheeks.

"Natalie? Will you be the most dumb person in the world and actually consider dating me?"

She laughs in the midst of tears. "I guess I'm pretty dumb for saying yes. Come here."

I immediately rush to her and place my hands on her hips as I bent down to kiss her.

It felt like revival.

I kissed her passionately, eyes closing as her hands enclosed around my torso, and kissed her again.
And again.
And again.

I would never get tired of her kisses, her pink lips against mine.

I tighten my grip around her when she inhales a breath.

"My wound, be careful", she says.

"Oh", I loosen my grip. "Sorry."

She laughs, eyes closed. "It's okay. I missed you a lot."

"Not more than me", I say, joining my forehead with hers as she signals to the table she's sitting on.

My watch buzzes and I check the time.

"I have a final plan, this is bound to get H.E.X.A to surrender, but I need your help."

"Okay here is the plan", I whisper to her quietly as we sit behind the steel grey table.

"Jayden and I thought of a final plan to get H.E.X.A to surrender. The only way we can lure Carina to come to us, instead of her men is through me."

She looks at me, knowing where Im heading.

"I told her I wanted to meet with her face to face. Alone. That way she thinks she has a chance with me and I will keep it that way until she lets her guard down."

"Lucas, you're playing with her feelings."

"Yeah and shes thirty and I'm eighteen. She needs some spiritual help."

Natalie laughs softly.

"I don't want to deceive her like this, but there is no other way. Our men and women are tired and we need to end this "warefare' now. The agents we tranquilized are still groggy but angry."

She nods and shifts. "That would be a motive for her to go against us. Be careful, I don't think she's mentally stable."

" I will", I say looking at her. "I will."

I take a moment, admiring her emerald green eyes, and the beauty of her tired face. She notices and smiles, eyes moving to my lips.

Was she thinking of kissing me?
