"So you are going to go back to the headquarters?" Mr. Garcia (aka Ariana's father) asked Ari.

"Yup, boss misses me so much he almost cried when I told him the news!" She chuckled.

"They must've been tears of sadness and anticipation of torture that you are going to bestow upon him." Her mom rolled her eyes.

"And what about you young man?" Mr. Garcia turned towards me.

"I still need to take care of a few things, I'm sure we can figure something out." I said genuinely, looking at Ariana's reaction.

She gave me a bright smile and a kiss on my cheeks before running to the attic with her mom, claiming she needs to find something and her mom always re-arranged the whole house.

"I'm sure you'll figure it out." He patted my back.

"What?" I asked, a little lost in my thoughts.

Mr. Garcia took out his wallet and sat next to me with a sip of his juice, "I have both of their pictures in my wallet, do you know why?"

"You love them very much?" That's why usually people do so.

"I don't need to keep a picture for that!"he chuckled, "I have their pictures so that when I'm going through rough times, I take a look and think that if I can live with these psychopaths, I can surely handle whatever I'm going through." he smiled as if remembering an old joke.

[A/n: Please don't take the word psychopath seriously, it's used in a different context here]

:

"Do you smoke?" I asked Alex. Still didn't like him, but trusted him enough to be able to handle himself if my daughter needed him.

"No sir." I heard him say honestly. "I don't feel the need to do drugs to have fun..." He seemed slightly embarrassed at his confession.

"Good she can be crazy." I shuddered remembering what she did when she was merely 5.

*Flash back*

Baby Ari: Papa do you like sshmoke?

Dad: "uhh...yeah but it's only for adults okay not babies."

I knew lying won't be fun for any of us due to the speed of her brain development.

Baby Ari: "Okay."

She sprinted away seemingly distracted.

The next day I heard a weird noise. Something like crackling popcorns.

I saw Ari burned all of my suits to make a huge fire.

"Ariana what did u do!? Get away from the fire!" I yelled concerned, and pulled her back.

"I made smoke for you." Said stated, proud of herself.

"Really crazy." I mumbled.

We're dating.

Dating and going on missions together.

It still feels like a dream. Whenever I go on the hunt there's someone to back me up, when I come back there's someone to chill with, there's someone to trade stories with, someone to cuddle during rom-coms and someone to have mind-blowing séx with. Thankfully this someone is just one person but it still feels a handful.

Honestly from never dating or being in a relationship to a full time best friend and fúçk buddy in one is amazing.

I still don't call him my boyfriend even though he loves to tease me by calling me his dearest and only girlfriend.

"Good morning my beautiful Girlfriend" he kissed my neck.

See what I mean?

"If you don't stop doing that I might as well turn you into an actual stranger, Mr.Stranger" I rolled my eyes but still snuggled into his warmth, totally contradicting my words.

"Ah I've hit a nerve I see" he smirked but brought his other hand up to my hair and started massaging it. I sighed in contentment.

Get you a man that plays with your hair, not feelings.

"Oli has a new baby on the way" I mumble.

"I know, he thinks his new baby has a crush on Nick, thanks to me" he laughed and his breath tickled my cheeks.

"Mhmm, he wants to take care of his wife and not let her suffer alone, seeing as he was with the president during his first born..." I said, slightly fiddling with my fingers and the covers.

"And...?" Alex straightened a little.

"He's demoting himself" I said leaving Alex shocked.

"He can do that? I thought you need a boss to do that?"

"Apparently! And I said that he should probably take a long vacation, maybe a few years and then be back when he feels ready but he said he had already planned this and the paperwork is signed!" I rolled on my back.

"But...?" Alex asked, knowing I was keeping something from him.

"I have to take over..." I slipped under the covers like a snail going back into it's shell.

"That's great!" Alex pulled back the covers and showed me a beaming smile.

This silly doufus.

"You know what let's go for breakfast!" I quickly got up and ran into the bathroom for a shower.

"But wh-" He got cut off as I turned the water up.

At the breakfast table Alex sat next to me with Michael at the 'head' chair (aka the single chair at the end of the table). Alex, Alana and I were in a row on Michael's left while Steve sat opposite to Alex, Zach opposite to me and Brian opposite to Alana with Feyona on his right.

I thought it was his ego that made Michael sit there but he revealed that it was easier to get up and leave when he got bored or annoyed. Making me laugh and applaud for his brilliance.

"So why are you worried about getting the position from Oli?" Alex asked shoving a toast in his mouth to hide his smirk. He knew this would make everyone curious and someone would convince me to spill it.

I stomped on his foot next to me making him choke while I explained my situation to everyone.

"So...Oli can't continue working and he had to live part time in England due to secret stuff...and..." I paused looking at Alex taking his free hand in mine, "I might have to go there..."

"Oh..." Alex said, everyone tensing up.

"But! Nevermind that I'm sure the agency can find someone who likes cold weather and British accent, they can go work there while I enjoy my newly created relationship that my- guy who is working very hard on." I kissed him on his cheeks.

"Oh please Alex loves Europe and he would follow you like a little pup wherever you went!" Michael said between stuffing his face with food.

"As far as I can remember he always wanted a little Victorian style house in Europe." Feyona chipped in, buttering her toast.

"I'm sure there are bad people to kill in every continent, they won't mind extra helping hands." Brain smirked with Feyona.

"I just need WiFi" Zach shrugged.

"You wouldn't dare leave behind your only sister will you?!" Alana asked in a sickening sweet voice with puppy dog eyes.

"I'll tag along!" Steve immediately pitched in.

All our heads turned to Michael who paused mid way pouring his nth glass of orange juice.

He looked at everyone individually, pausing to glare at me but as soon as his eyes landed on a pleading Alex he sighed with a small 'fine'.

Alex released his unintentional tight grip on my hands and turned towards me.

"Tell me."

Two words and I knew what he wanted to know.

"I uh... Don't want you to think I'm leaving you or give you anymore trust issues than I already have..." he tilted his head and gave me a cute scrutinizing look.

I sighed "and I don't think I'm qualified for the job, but that's just the 5% of it!!!! I don't want to leave it's so warm and my parents are close and- and the Niagara falls!"

Alex let out a smile.

I didn't feel insecure spilling my thoughts with everyone listening cause frankly we were that comfortable with each other.

"We're going." He said bringing his face closer and kissing me sweetly.

While everyone around us got wild, running around to pack, arguing about the size of their future room, and even some squeals about hot British guys which gave way to two manly grunts about keeping an eye on them.

"Really?" I asked looking into his eyes.

"I don't see why not? Unless you have a side piece whom you'd miss? Or you really like the Niagara falls..." He chuckled.

"Fúck the falls." I kissed him harder.

*Later in the night.*

"Okay I believe you everyone in this house is crazy as fúck!" I yelled flopping into Alex's- Our bed.

"I've been trying to tell you for months!" He laughed, shuffling through his closet.

"Feyona wants her grinder and whipps to be shipped, Brian said he was sure they would fit in his suitcase, both of them meaning entirely different whipps! Zach is freaking out over his frames being broken during the manhandling of his bags! He doesn't even wear all of them, like who needs 148 pairs of glasses?!!"

"Yeah he does have a lot of those..." Alex yelled from his closet.

"Alana has a long itinerary of things to do and men to do..." I sighed.

"Ha! In her dreams!" Alex crashed something and picked it back up with a curse.

"Steve said the same thing! Anyways he's packing a lot of ammunition... don't know why... Michael on the other hand is surprisingly looking up houses. And he agreed when I said we need a walkable hallway and a cozy theatre room. I think I'm making progress with him, he's looking forward to going there too."

"Yup he always felt a connection with that place..." Alex mumbled.

"What about you?" I asked him.

He paused, coming out of the closet with his sweatpants and a faded tee in his arms.

"I think this is too sudden for you, but you love the excitement of another country, infact you crave it and I'm not going to stand in your way to satisfaction, I'm going to be right behind you, supporting your decisions knowing you would've done the same for me." He slowly tucked in his shirt and removed it moving his hands to his pants. "And I've wanted to live in Europe all my life but I never got a chance to work on that dream. So thanks to you I'll be the happiest man alive!"

"You better write that shít down for our wedding vows." I giggled, eyeing his delicious abs.

"Our wedding?" He looked shocked.

"If you think I'm leaving your sweet- talking delicious and supporting ass anytime soon you are delusional." I crawled over to him.

"I really love you my sweet girlfriend." He smiled lovingly as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"And I love you my dearest boyfriend." I kissed him.

Not gonna lie I almost choked on that word.

"Fúck I'm gonna die from happiness tonight you enticing piece of cake." He rasped.

"Well then let's make this a night to remember!" I said pulling him down on the bed with me.

He positioned his arms on the bed so that he didn't squish me but continued our kiss, going deeper and making it a lot more séxier.

Yes we had sëx after he proposed me to be his girlfriend but it was a 'welcome back' séx and after that there were 'I'm so happy' séx, 'I can't believe I have you' séx and straight up rough séx that we both loved.

But this was our first time after an 'I love you' exchange. And I wanted it to be special. We weren't just going at it like rabbits but taking our time, caressing each other and paying more attention to the little moans and gasps.

I had something special in mind for him.
