"Come in, please come in" said Ivanka as she smiled happily as she opened the door to her apartment.
"Thank you" said Larry as he walked in and Ivanka closed the door behind him.
"Please sit" said Ivanka as she and Larry walked to the living room.
"Alright, thank you" said Larry as he sat down on the brown couch.
"Can I get you anything?" asked Ivanka as she smiled.
"No… I am alright" said Larry.
"Oh yes yes, sorry, I forget, we just ate" said Ivanka as she smiled sheepishly and Larry smiled at her, she was acting to weird that she herself face-palmed herself in her mind, but this was the first time a man she actually liked visited her in her home.
"You have a very nice apartment" said Larry as he smiled.
"Thank you… I think so too" said Ivanka as she smiled, even though she had seen better in her lifetime, but this place was simple and cosy, the opposite of the many places she had been.
"Please give me a moment" said Ivanka as she smiled.
"Alright" said Larry as Ivanka quickly turned round the corner and she looked around as she caught sight of a little coffee table and she bent down and flipped a switch underneath the table as she quickly did so and she stood back up.
She knew that even though it did not seem like it, the best place for them to have this conversation as here, even though her apartment was very closely monitored, but they would not expect her to be here at this time, so for now, she and Larry were safe.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting" said Ivanka as she walked back into the living room and she smiled and she sat down in the chair across Larry.
"That is alright" said Larry as he smiled, and Ivanka smiled at him, he had never bene invited to a woman's home before, it was very neat.
"So what is it that you want to talk to me about?" asked Larry as he looked at Ivanka.
"Ah… well…" said Ivanka as the smile on her face dropped and she stuttered, she was scared now… she was scared that once she told him the truth he would hate her… or worse, he would turn her in…. but she was not someone to back down, she always went with what she felt was right… and right now she felt like she needed to say the truth.
"Is something the matter?" asked Larry as he had never seen Ivanka stutter before, it looked like she was hesitating.
"Look Larry… I need to tell you something" said Ivanka as she sighed and she looked at Larry.
"Alright" said Larry as he gave her some space to speak.
"I am not who you think I am" said Ivanka plainly, because that was the truth, there was no need to try to sugar-coat it, in the end it was the truth.
"My real name is Ivanka Mikhailovna Mikhailova, and I am a Russian spy" said Ivanka as she spit out the truth as she was afraid to look at Larry, and when she did, his expression did not change at all.
"So… so you were sent here to spy on me?" asked Larry as the expression on his face remained the same, but his eyes had a hint of sadness in them.
"Well no…. not exactly…. You see the thing is my people… my Country Russia, hate you Americans said Ivanka as she explained.
"We consider you traitors" said Ivanka.
"The organization I work for as a spy, specialize in getting American information to the Russian government, we do it in legal and as well as illegal ways" said Ivanka as she explained and Larry just listened without saying a word.
"I am their best agent, and well I was sent here to retrieve some very important information from the firm… and also to destroy anyone in my way" said Ivanka.
"There is a document, a very important document, the one that we need that is in your custody and I need to get it" said Ivanka.
"So you have been using me all this time?" asked Larry.
"No!" said Ivanka as her eyes went wide and she refuted him immediately.
"No… I have not been using you Larry" said Ivanka as she shook her head.
"I was supposed to get the document… and frame you for being a traitor to your country" said Ivanka.
"But…" said Ivanka as she paused and she looked down.
"But what?" asked Larry as his voice sounded serious.
"But I could not do it Larry… I could not" said Ivanka as she looked up at Larry.
"Why?" asked Larry as he could not understand.
"Because… Because…" said Ivanka.
"Because I love you" said Ivanka as she looked at him with all the sincerity in her eyes.
"I know it is crazy for me to say that since we barely know each other… but… but it is true I love you… I have never felt like this for any man before, you give me peace, you are so simple, so gentle, so wonderful, and well you are light, while I have done things women my age have never done" said Ivanka as she spoke from the heart.
"But what I feel for you I have never felt for any man before… the truth is I cannot imagine my life without you" said Ivanka as she looked at Larry, she wanted to see his reaction, she was sure that he would just get up and leave, but he did the opposite as the serious look on his face was replaced with a smile.
"You smile?" asked Ivanka in surprise.
"I… I feel the same Ivanka… you also make me feel different" said Larry as he smiled, he also felt the same way Ivanka did, he thought that maybe he was overreacting, or maybe he was the one only seeing things, but now that Ivanka had said it… it made him admit his feelings as well.
"You do not hate me?" asked Ivanka.
"No… I do not… I understand, your loyalty is to your country" said Larry.
"Larry… thank you" said Ivanka as she smiled and Larry smiled.
"But… can we not report this matter to Mr. Richardson? I am sure he can do something to stop the information from being leaked" said Larry as he seemed to be thinking.
"No Larry, he is in on it as well, he and Mr. James and some others, they stand a lot to gain if this piece of information gets leaked" said Ivanka.
"They would betray their country just for money?" asked Larry as he scoffed.
"Money does things to people Larry, believe me, I have seen many influential men be moved because of money" said Ivanka as she scoffed.
"So then, does that mean that you would get in trouble for not completing you mission?" asked Larry.
"Yes Larry… that is the truth" said Ivanka as she smiled, not only would she get in trouble, but she would be punished, but seeing as she was very useful in their hands, she would not be killed, only tortured into obedience.
"Which is why I have a plan" said Ivanka.
"Larry… If I tell you what I have in mind… and you tell me that you cannot do it… I will not blame you at all… I will disappear from your life forever, and you will not hear from me at all" said Ivanka seriously.
"I… I don't want that" said Larry as he spoke up, because he was sure that if he didn't, he would lose Ivanka forever.
"So you are with me?" asked Ivanka as she smiled.
"One hundred percent" said Larry as he smiled, Ivanka did not lie to him, she told him the truth, she even decided to confess to him, she was not at fault at all.
"Thank you" said Ivanka as she smiled and Larry smiled at her.
"Alright so my plan is…" said Ivanka.
"I am going to have to betray my country" said Ivanka as she sighed, that was the only way… and after she would do that, she would need to run, run very far away… even though she was sure she only had limited time.
"Are you sure that you want to do that?" asked Larry, he did not think that he was that important for her to want to do such.
"Yes… Yes I am sure… there is no doubt in my mind…" said Ivanka.
"I… I want to be with you… even if it's going to be for a little while" said Ivanka as she smiled, and Larry smiled, he did not know what she saw in him that would make her want to do such a thing that could cost her, her life.
"Do you… do you want to be with me?" asked Ivanka shyly, she was the one doing all the talking.
"Yes… I do" said Larry as he smiled and Ivanka smiled at him, she was so glad that he felt the same way she did about him.
