"What are you doing Claire?"
Claire turned around surprised, "I wasn't expecting you here."
"Yeah well I had a feeling you were about to do something stupid." he whispered "did you find what I was looking for?"
"Meet me outside," Claire whispered.
"I have what you are looking for but what are you going to do with this?"
"Have up opened it?" Claire nodded
"You do know what? That is not what we agreed on. You were not supposed to read it."
"Well, you know me, I like getting all up in your business."
"Just give me the paper."
"No, not until you tell me what you will do with it; things like this can get us killed."
"So you were about to stab Jack in his sleep?"
"No, I was not, and no one can see us alone again, it will start to draw suspicion."
"I know, I have already had to answer a bunch of questions I wasn't prepared for."
Claire handed the paper, as he opened the paper, "So this is it."
We finally got to where we want to be."
"I don't trust you, you better now be screwing me over." He smiled, I am a man of my word.
Claire stepped closer, running her index finger over his black leather Jacket, moved her lips inches apart from him, then let out a smile, "you know what I want."
He smiled, "now is not the time for games, as for Max, it's time; Claire's eyes grew wide, "are you sure?"
"That look says it all, you grew attached to him, did you? I warned you about getting too close." Claire nodded, "is there not a other way by removing him, I will just dump him."
"Claire we had an agreement, some people up there won't think twice about killing us if we don't follow through the orders that was given, and Angela will be back soon. We don't have much time, so let's not waste another minute, you will have till the end of the week."
Claire removed the knife and handed it to him, "you are right about one thing if you hadn't came I might have done something stupid, I hate what he done."
"We can't touch him, we have to stick to the orders given, if you can touch a hair on his head, we will be on the run for the rest of our lives, probably have to create new identities."
"Claire grinned, I could do with a new makeover."
"Now is not the time for Jokes Claire, stick to your orders, and don, t let me come back here to remind you of your task, did he buy that forgotten memory of your, and what's that blood on your forehead?"
"I fell purposely when he asked me to leave."
"Why would he ask you to leave in this weather we both know he likes you."
Claire smiled, she couldn't tell him that she kissed Jack and started to like him, even though it was the best kiss she had. Yes she hated Jack, but was that hate fading the more she got to know him?
Have he changed her mind about him, it was only supposed to be something temporary, could she tell him the reason she was sitting with the knife was to protect Jack since he was on his own.
"Nothing happened, he wasn't comfortable having anyone over, so that's the reason he wanted me to leave."
"Wipe that blood off your forehead we will be in touch and remember do not harm."
Claire played with her nails, " I guess I will see you tomorrow?"
"No, I have some important business to take care of but I will get in contact with you."
He climbed into his car and drove off. Claire stood there outside watching as he drove off them turned around looking inside, there he was lying, like nothing in the world to worry about.
"Does he even care that his sister could be lying in a ditch somewhere. She opened the sliding door, as quietly as she could. Then sat on the edge of the armchair, she stared at him, " Am i inlove with the target?" She questioned, as she ran her finger over his cheek, let out a faint smile, he has change quite abit since, he was this timid kid with freckles and glasses.
He has changed so much, Claire stood up and walked over to the cabinet, looking at the family portraits.
This is a broken family, "he has lost his mom and his sister is not around, maybe destiny wants me tl protect him, he was so worried when i bumped my head."
Claire thought back her own family was less caring, her family was always to busy for her thats how she got mixed up in this whole mess, Claire walked over to the kitchen, and made her a sandwich.
"Hey you still up, are you okay?"
"I am okay thank you." She looked up at him, he was still half sleepy, she placed her hand over his cheek, "go back to rest." He stretched out, "What time is it i dozed off?"
"Yes, you did, infact you were in a deep sleep."
Jack turned around walked up the stairs and climbed into his own bed, Claire had thought he went back to the lounge. And say he had taken his blanket.
She went up the stairecase and walked over to the room with a open door, he was asleep.
Hurt body felt sore from the sofa, so she decides to lay behind him placing her hand over his stomache, "what are you doing?" He whispered, "nothing lets go back to sleep."
Hearing the birds outside, and the bright sun shong through the window, onto his face, he laid awake, Claire still had her hand around his waist and her leg over his. She was tight asleep
It was 7am and it was Saterday morning, he looked down and placed his hands over hers, feeling her breathing to the back of his neck.
He had never been this close to her, and her body was warm, making him more warm than he already was, he moved slightly forward, releasing his body from her, as she whispered, "It is saterday, lets get some more sleep, she had pulled him closer pressing her lips to his neck, she then kissed the back of his neck running her hand over his stomache, "what are you doing?"
"Nothing, just getting some more sleep."
Her alarm went off, "can you please pass me my phone?"
He picked up the phone and saw Marcus has message, he could not see what the message said since it was just a envelope on the homescreen and the phone was locked.
"I need to get ready."
"Get ready for what Jack , its only us here." She pulled him closer. Turning him on to his back as sat up on his waist. Jack stared at her, remembering her words about Marcus, "no we cant do this."
"Fine, but this opportunity wont come your way again, why not loosen up and have a little fun."
Jack smiled, " opportunity hey, is that what you call it these days."
She realized what she had said and instantly regretted her choice of words."
"Thats not what I mean Jack." He grabbed a towel and went to the bathroom." she sat crossed legs on the bed, his the first guy to turn her down what is it about him that makes her want him more.
Jack stood under the shower when his phone rang in the room, Claire looked at the phone it was Melanie, " how did she get his number and why is she calling him this early?"
Claire picked up the phone, "Melanie what do you want?"
"Claire is that you with Jacks phone?"
"Claire realized Melanie would tell Max, but that's fine she was ordered to remove Max."
"Yes, it's me with Jacks phone, he asked me to take the call."
"Oh that's unlike Jack, but okay, nevermind."
"Melanie don't hang up on me what is it that you want?" Melanie looked at her phone, "Jack with Claire, Claire with Jack what is going on? She never liked him and now suddenly they together all the time."
"Baby, what did Jack say?"
Melanie turned and looked at Max, having a confused look on her face.
"He never answered the phone."
"What do you mean?"
"He never answered the phone Max, our plans are screwed your girlfriend, my friend, they are together." Max sat up on the bed, "What do you mean they are together."
"Your bloody girlfriend answered the phone Max."
"Claire is at home, how could she have answered his phone this early?"
(Melanie laughed, "we have been both played by that bitch.")
Max stood up and fastened his Jean putting on his vest, "I knew they were up to something, but sleeping together would have been my last guest." "So you are jealous." Melanie Laughed "You got played boy, I guess you got played by your own game asshole."
Max grabbed Melanie by the throat, " if you know what is good for you, you will shut up."
