You got that right, Andy! PERFECT!!!!

PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT, PEEEEERRRRRRRFFFFEEEEECCCCT!

What a way to start the new year. A glass of vine, some cheese, and this PERFECT, PERFECT update!

Before I say anything else, Olya - the necklace moment left me breathless! And as if that was not enough, Andy moved on to his tattoo!!! I was fighting for air!!! I immediately remembered that perfect pic of his, in white tank top, smiling, tattoo flashing on his arm.. God, '99 edition just makes me gasp every single time!

I'm digressing, forgive me...
You definitely read my mind when it comes to these realizations she makes, about being totally comfortable with her self, her body, the moment she shares with him. It's the ultimate moment, the ultimate realization, that which defines him as "the one"! What a beautiful revelation!!! I'm melting inside!

I absolutely LOVE the fact that he's calling her by her full name! Another of my "ultimate moments". Especially after his initial surprise when he heard it for the first time, now he accepts it as a given, as his to behold... *melting again* And how he saw through her attempt to change the topic... James the protector is back!!! What a convenient moment to get over with "the talk" about his real life. She took it a bit too well though. I don't think it sank in completely with her. She didn't answer if she would go with him after all. I see some second thoughts there... And some serious reconsideration on both sides...
But for the time being, who cares! Let them enjoy each other in the Wonderland! There's always time for real life to kick in.

It's amazing how skillfully you develop the plot in this fic. Nothing ever seems out of place, it's so well structured. (and coming full circle with the word "perfect" was just, hm, perfect!)

Now, what's cooking? What should we expect? Time for Raven to try and mess things up I guess. Is he really out there, behind the snow barricade, or is he actually near, watching (a psycho that he is), waiting for the perfect moment to do them both? What happens when the snow melts? Will she agree to going with James? And if she does, how will she cope her new surroundings? How will he hope with his feelings for her once he's back in his familiar routine? Whatever it is, I hope they share more magical moments like this one, it's such a heart warming delight to read!!!

Nota bene: Andy, you silly, silly girl! NEVER underestimate the power of the D cup! :biggrin

My eyes traveled over his shoulders and the small red mark on his skin made me smile. Did I bite him? When did I do that?

:aroused :giggle

I loved it, Olya ! :heart: :heart: :heart:
Thank you so much... I had a shitty morning, but your update just made it much better.
I have no words. :fan
I loved it when he called her Andromeda.

Sorry again for the long wait.
Here is more!
I hope you still remember what is going on in this story.


------------------


(James' POV)


My body needed more and more, spell-bonded, addicted to her's, craving to feel that overpowering moment again and again. My arms kept her close, afraid that if I let her go even for a second, she'd disappear. The day winded down and between the moments of heat, bliss, and conversation, we didn't notice when it got darker outside. Andromeda laid by my side with her hand on my chest and her face by my neck, her breath warming my skin with each exhale. I slid my hand over her side and she moved closer. Soon her breathing slowed down and I smiled, you are mine...

I remembered the day we met, and the events that came after that day slowly unfolded and started to play in my mind. The memory of her swirling her car when I deliberately flashed her brought a smile to my lips. Then I remembered our talk in her cabin, when I was siting covered only with a blanket, waiting for her to make her move and planning mine. And how easy she dismissed all my plans and turned everything around, how angry and frustrated I felt when I left her house. How all that melted away when I saw her drinking alone. She put me through a roller coaster of feelings, from hate to love, no woman was ever be able to play me like that. I always had the power and now...

How in the hell did you end-up with a woman who's smarter than you, stronger than you, and has more will power, not to mention the gun? She will never put up with cheating or lies, she will see through all your stupid cover-up stories. She'll never make a scene or cry and she'll have no problem leaving. Hetfield, you're so done. My usual life style is over... and I'm happy with that. Am I? The power of that woman over me... yeah, I'm okay with that. I'm not alone anymore...

When the road gets cleared, I'll take her far away, where no one would ever find her, sooner or later that psycho would be caught and that would be the end of it. Wonder what guys would say about me dating an FBI officer... Lars would probably piss his pants laughing... Kirk... Kirk is always okay with everything... Jason... I don't know what's going on with him lately, he's changed... I have to talk to him, when I get back to the world... when we get back. I closed my eyes, slowly drifting away in my dreams.



(Andy's POV)

A somewhat hazy thought floated in my mind, not fully formed, more like the feeling that I forgot something, I tried to chased it away, but it kept coming back with the annoyance of a fly. I tried to concentrate, but my brain decided to take me all the way to the first day when I met James, and I smiled remembering my reaction to the stranger behind my window. Then my memory skipped to the bathroom fire and I felt heat building up inside of me, reliving the moment in the bathtub.

Somehow, that scene turned into the memory of the hit, car, shots, fear... this morning's events unfolded and took over. Shots, fear, running through the snow, blood... and the annoying fly came back, turning into fully formed words, creeping in the back of my head and stretching their cold fingers all the way to my spine. You never checked for foot prints, you left your door wide open, and your gun is somewhere in the snow by the back shed. You let you guard down completely, forgetting that Raven is still out there, hunting, waiting, while you're here melting in bliss.

I carefully pulled out of James' arms and sat up. At the very least I needed to get my gun, just in case. I slid off the bed and tiptoed to the other side in search of my robe, but it was tucked under James' pillow with no way of getting it out without waking him up. Shit... I made my way to the chair and pulled on his flannel shirt, which I was wearing earlier, and made my way to the living room.

In the dim evening light outside, I inspected the driveway and the snow around the cabin, moving from window to window. I saw my foot steps, clearly darker dots on the snow, the only marks and breathed out in relief. My eyes trailed to the blocked road, if someone wanted to go over that... they could, it wasn't that high... just wide. That person would probably have some difficulties, but it wasn't impossible. Would Raven? No... too early, he always gives a week. He likes his games too much to come here and just shoot me, not his style.

He wants me to run in fear, he'll... he may be out there, watching me... us. He may shorten his game and decide to get me the next time himself... I wonder if it makes any difference that he never went after a woman before. There was another unanswered question, why? There are plenty of women out there who have the power and money. He always goes after the man. What is this, pride? Does he think women are beneath him, unworthy of his attention? No... he started his game with me, if he was one of those who despised women, he would've just shot me right there by my apartment, not wasting his time with me. So at the very least, he puts me as an equal.

I looked over the mountain ridge and back to the road. I need to come out and see if I can feel someone watching me... and I need my gun. I put James' boots on and tried to make a step, but my foot just slid out, leaving the boot on its place. Okay, this isn't going to work... hm... maybe if I do this...



(James' POV)

I felt the cold on my neck, missing the warmth of Andromeda's breath and my hand slid over the bed, finding nothing. My eyes flew open and I sat up. Not again... I quickly got up, pulling the blanket over me and almost ran to the door. I saw her in my shirt and boots, sliding her feet on the floor, slowly making her way to the door.

“Planning on skiing?”

“Oh... no, I just... all my clothes are in my cabin...” She turned with a smile.

“I'm more than okay with that.” I came closer and pulled her into my arms.

“James... I left the door wide open and my gun somewhere in the snow... I promise to be back soon.” She whispered when my lips slid on her neck.

“Nope... you're not going anywhere.” My hands let go of the blanket and made their way under my flannel shirt, sliding to her waist.

“James...”

“I'll go find your gun and bring you your clothes, but you're not wearing anything until you have to.”

“We need to eat at one point.”

“And who said we have to be dressed for that?” I played my eyebrows at her and she smiled.


----


When I stepped inside of Andromeda's cabin through the wide open back door, the first thing I noticed was a ripped open bullet case on the kitchen counter and a few bullets on the floor. I picked them up and put them in my pocket, hearing them clink against the metal of the gun. I made my way to the bedroom and found the garbage bag with her clothes, then returned to the living room, making sure the door was locked and the modified window cover in place.

I noticed an open notebook on the table by the couch, and took it in my hands, flipping through the pages of writing and diagrams. I knew some stuff about Raven, but only what Andy decided to reveal to me, wonder what she didn't. The curiosity took over and I sat down on the couch, reading her handwriting.

It was all there, his character, his moves in the past, a short summary's of previous cases, names, places, the cat and mouse games, everything but the end result. I turned the page and read the outlined words 'The kill always the same'. My heart skipped when I looked at the multiple questions under it, 'how does he make them come to him?', 'how does he make them submit?', 'why does he make them strip naked?', 'why have none of them fought?', 'why the execution style kill?', 'is it pride or a ritual?' Suddenly, the figure of Raven became real and I felt cold shivers run down my spine.

A young girl against a cold-blooded, mature killer with no remorse and no feelings, a maniac with the blood of fifteen people on his hands, none of whom were exactly harmless men. And knowing all that about him, and probably more, she was not curled up somewhere in the heart of an FBI building, in a room full of guards? She still tries to figure out his moves... and stand up to him. She didn't hide when she heard the shots, she came running to save me... thinking he was here...

I closed the notebook and swallowed, I have to take her away, far away. Jet trip it is, land in multiple cities, and stay in one, making the plane keep going and keep landing, maybe hire some actress who looks like Andromeda... no... she would never agree to put someone's life in danger. I need a better plan, I need to... I need her to believe that I can protect her... I need to believe that...



(Andy's POV)


When James finally returned I was in the kitchen, attempting to make us dinner. He walked in, dropped my belongings on the counter, came over, and hugged me. His arms tightly pressed me to him and I felt something different in that embrace.

“What is it?” I turned in his arms and looked at his face.

“Nothing... I just missed you.” He smiled, but his eyes didn't join his lips.

“Liar, now tell me the truth.” He was there a bit too long... how long does it takes to grab my clothes and scoop a few items from the bathroom? He... he found my notebook. “James, did you read my notes?”

“I did... Andy... I...”

“You shouldn't have... I didn't want you to know all that... but now you know that I... I can't go with you. There is nothing you can do... nothing I can do... it's not a question of if he finds me, it's when he finds me. And when that moment comes, I need to be alone.”

“No, you don't! They were all alone, maybe that's what makes the difference, did you ever think of that?”

“They weren't alone, they were surrounded by guards, they all left that safety to go alone, to go to him! And if I knew why... why would you willingly go to your death?”

“To save someone's life.. if someone threatens to harm someone I love, asking to sacrifice my life for theirs... I would.”

“No... At first I thought that too, but no moves were ever made against the family members. In every case, the families were under guard in safety, with absolutely no activities around them. The victims never mentioned any threats against their family members...”

“That is the only thing I could think of... that would make me surrender.”

“But you also would try to fight back, try to kill him! Many of them were physically stronger, than him. Hell, I'm a girl and I would do anything I can to kill him, to save someone, before... before... I wouldn't just walk into the room, strip, and kneel, ready to die, I would at least try!”

“Not if you knew his death also meant the death of your loved one. Maybe he has someone he works with? Someone who at that moment has that other person and the only way out is giving your life for theirs...”

“Even if that's so... not every man is so noble, not everyone's love is stronger than the fear of death, there would be at least a few who wouldn't do that, who would let him kill someone instead of them, and there would be at least a few who tried to fight! There is none! Every case is the same pattern.”

“Then I don't know...” He pressed me tighter and I felt his lips quiver against my temple. We needed to get off this topic... the last thing I want is to spend my limited time with James talking about Raven.

“He's not here right now, can we forget about him, please... I want to be free of that for at least a few days, what's left of my life...” I bit my tongue a little too late, the last words flew out before I could stop. I tried to smile and continue in a deliberately cheerful tone. “I think the food is ready, let's eat. ”

“Please don't say that, you're not going to die! I don't want to lose you, I can't...”

“I don't want to die either, especially now, when I've found you...” My lips closed over his and I pulled him closer. I need to take his mind off of this... I need to... I don't want to die...

“Andromeda... I...” He whispered, pulling away, but I didn't let him.

“Sshhh... don't... I don't want him between us right now, all I want is you... me and you... no one else... nothing else... I want to forget about everything... make me forget...” I pull his shirt off and started to unbutton my shirt, and his hands slid over my skin. I kissed his neck, sliding my lips to his chest and he moaned, pulling my lips to his. The kiss turned our thoughts to desire, melting everything around us.

His hands picked me up, propping me up on the counter and I let him move between my legs, unzipping his pants, tugging them down. A soft moan escaped his mouth when his flesh entered me, and I arched, pushing him deeper and breathing out a moan, echoing James. My last readable thoughts slowly drowned in passion. I'm in love and that makes me stronger... and weaker...

What a chapter!!!!

Olya, this story is getting ever better with every new chapter. James' POVs are so good, it's overwhelming. What an insight into his mind and soul in the first part! That short retrospection and analysis of his feelings for her, of the place he is in now, growing tension I felt while he was contemplating if he would be able to handle a relationship with a woman such as Andromeda, the sudden comfort I took (together with him) in the realization that he is indeed happy with her just as she is, that he's not alone and is ready to make sacrifices for that... So emotional!

And then his naive ideas about how he would protect her, his growing fears when he read her notes, the quivering lip on her temple, God! His character is so intense in this chapter. You got every nuance, every aspect of his personality, stripped him naked (both physically and emotionally), I suddenly felt his apprehesions and panic at the thoughts of loosing her.

Andy's part. Her restless sleep, disturbed by reality creeping up on her, her dark thoughts, her decision to let go and seize the moment she's sharing with him...What a woman, what strength, what character, what courage! I love how realistic she is, how she never abandons that constant connection with reality, but how determined she is at the same time to let go, even for just a day, and get the most of her "limited time" with James.

And finally their love making, intensified by the growing despair of the whole situation they're in, an attempt to escape the dark and uncertain future, to cling to each other, such a pure and meaningufl (and yes, very hot) scene, ending in the most beautiful sentence, a perfect summary of their situation and a key to their story - "I'm in love and that makes me stronger... and weaker...". Beautiful!!!!

I'm worried. Future doesn't look good. Raven needs to be get rid off and soon. Will they manage? Is it going to happen there, in the mountains, or will they go back to the real world? Will other band members get involved in the story then? Will they meet Andy, or perhaps offer an idea, a key to the Raven-situation? Is there a way out of this?! :huh:

This is such a great story. I wish my English would be better, so I could say something else but the obvious.
I was going to pick up my favourite part on this chapter (to quote) as I sometimes do, but there was too many of them. :heart:

Here is more!




_______________________________________





(James' POV)


The night came and went without raising the topic of Raven again, and we enjoyed the time with each other. In the morning, we found out that we had visitors during the night, the deer I had shot earlier was gone and there were multiple foot prints on the snow, clearly pointing to the pack of wolfs. They somehow managed to drag the body out of the open shed and deeper into the woods. I guess we were too preoccupied to hear anything.

Next day days and night flew by in talks about our lives before we met, and somehow, I felt as though we had known each other for a long time. I wished that the road would stay blocked forever, that we would just stay here, but with each passing hour, our peaceful time was running out and we both knew that.

The third day arrived with a noise of heavy machinery, I walked to the window and saw a few bulldozers making their way through the snow. My heart skipped and started to beat faster, making my mind search for the right words. I have to make her to come with me, I can't let her go alone. I wouldn't let her.

“They here already? I was hopping for a few more days with you...” Andy hugged me from behind and I felt warmth of her body on mine.

“You're going with me. We'll fly to San Francisco, then get the jet ready and fly somewhere, if we have to, we'll fly to the north pole. Let him come there, then I can shoot him and be done with it.” I narrowed my eyes, trying to burn fucking road crew with my glare.

“James...” She came around me and gazed into my eyes.

“Please... Andy, please say yes. You know I won't let you go, I will just follow you.”

“You can't.”

“Like hell I can't, no one can stop me, and nothing you say will make me let you do this alone.”

She looked at me, then back at the window. Something changed in her eyes just for the second when she tuned back to me. I needed to say something else, to convince her... I'll fucking tie her up and take her by the force if I have to. She can kill me later, but she's no going out there alone.




(Andy's POV)


“Okay...” I whispered. James opened his mouth, ready to continue to try and convince me, but when the meaning of the word I said finally sank in, he breathed out.

“Okay? You mean it? You going with me?”

“We'll try your plan. At least it'll take him some time to find me. I don't know about the North Pole, but let's say a small town somewhere in Asia... it can work...” I knew, you would do that James... and I'm sorry... I have to lie to you.

“Yeah, it's easier to spot a newcomer in a small town, now you're thinking! Let's see... as soon as we get to town, I'll call my pilot, my assistant can get all we need for a long trip. Everything will be ready, then I need to call my bandsmates...”

“And I need to call Mike, found out if there's any news, maybe he's already caught.” I tried to make my voice as cheerful as I could.

“That would be the best news ever!” James pulled me into a hug and I gazed into his eyes, taking all of him in, imprinting his image in my memory.

“One can only hope...”



-----



By the end of the day the road was clear, I had to come out and tell the road crew about the car that was swept by the avalanche, avoiding the reason why it happen. They weren't a part of the law and that information was not for their ears. I found out why they here so early, some tourist told the rangers about the block, he said he was driving around, looking for a rental. I knew exactly who that tourist was and my brain immediately jumped into work.

We had to leave this Wonderland soon, I knew that if we stayed, it would bring another hit to make me run, and this time, it could be more dangerous for James. While we were getting everything ready to get going, I just kept talking about his plan. I was naming all the countries with less technology as a perfect hiding place, and he joined in, making a list of things we'll need. My heart was quietly bleeding, watching him so exited about me going with him and I tried my best not to show my real emotions. My brain kept up its own work, separated from the conversation.

I wondered why Raven had shortened the usual week... did that mean he was done with others, or going after me first? So, he was anxious to get me going, good, if he was in the hurry more chances he'll make a mistake. If I was the first, I had a chance to save others, think... I needed to pull the fire on me, make him hurry... offer myself as cheese in the mouse trap. He was probably in town, and would spot us right away. I'm sure he had some listening device with him... he'd hear my conversation with Mike, if we turned music on full volume... that would prevent him from hearing me. He may have a bug on Mike's phone...

I need to be careful, it would be so easy just to play a 'dumb blonde card', but he'd never fall for that. I have to pretend I'm on the run, I have to make him believe I have something against him, that I figured everything out. I could set up a meeting with Mike... no... I can't bring him into this. I can tell him I sent all the information to FBI... no, Raven would go after that, not me. Think!

What if James was right? And all those men sacrificed themselves to save the loved one... if only I knew... I can bluff and say I know, make him talk. I'll probably never survive to tell anyone the real reason... only if he falls for a trap, with everything set up, with FBI surrounding the building... A new plan slowly started to form in my mind when I felt James arms around me.

“I wish we could've stay one more night...” He whispered and I turned with a sigh.

“We can't... we'll be safer on your jet.” I lied, feeling my throat closing with a growing lump. All I wanted was to hug him, kiss him and be with him one last time, but that would be too obvious that I'm saying good bye...

I'll fucking tie her up and take her by the force if I have to.

:giggle
I had to... I know he wasn't talking about THAT, but anyway... ;) :drool :biggrin

Thanks for the update.
This is getting really exciting... I hope Raven won't find them or if he does, James will "take care" of him. Posted Image
I may have fallen off the wagon here a bit, but what the hell is Andy planning on ?
I may need to read backwards this, because I obviously missed something... but I hope she's not planning on doing anything on her own.

OK is he bluffing or will she really manage to fool him?! :huh:
Think James, THINK!!! Didn't she agree to your plan a bit too fast, doesn't she seem a bit too into it? Come on!!!! Oh, but he's in love, he's not thinking straight. He's so sweet planning, thinking...
You captured his state perfectly, I can imagine him getting into it with almost childish vigor and excitement. Ah poor James!

And my heart goes out for Andy! She keeps amazing me by her strength and courage! It's not easy to do what she's planning (or at least I think she's planning) to do. I just hope there is some way out of this Olya, other than something that will leave me crying my brains out!!!!
She's just too smart, too good at what she does, she HAS to get Raven. And then when she's done with him, when she's saved her life and protected James' she can give herself to him completely. She deserves it, come on! :eager

And I don't like this Mike guy at all. I just don't.

What will happen Olya? Will they get out of the mountain or is R already lurking there? How will she manage to trick James and leave him? Will James see through her attempt? will she make a breakthrough discovery before getting eye to eye with Raven? Is Mike the bad guy? :eager

Here is more!


---------------------------------



(James' POV)


We drove through the town without stopping, after a short talk to Mike, Andromeda was writing something on the piece of paper and I kept my eyes on the back view mirror, watching for any following cars. Somewhere deep inside, the child in me was pretending I'm a spy, getting away from the criminals. In the car with a beautiful woman... stupid line from the movie keep popping up in my head. 'Bond... James Bond' my lips turned into grin and I pressed the gas pedal, speeding up.

“We'll never make it to the airport if you drive like this, Mister Bond.”

“How did you know I was....” Seriously? Is she reading my mind?

“James, your face expression, plus you were thinking it so loud, I can't even concentrate on my work here.” She laughed.

“Well, it's kind of cool... you know...”

“I know, when we're alone I should remember to say that line...'Oh, James!'” The last words left her lips and spilled a flush of heat over me. I gripped into the steering wheel and moved in my seat, suddenly feeling pressure.

“That would make me drive even faster.”

“Seriously, slow down, the last thing we need is to be stopped by the police, I do have my gun and my FBI badge with me and I prefer not to flash it around.”

“You can flash it at me... later...” Mmmnn... stop thinking of sex.

“And frisk you for any concealed weapons?” She giggled. She as bad as I am!

“You'll find one... fully loaded.”

“Stop it! You'll make me jump you. I don't know what you did to me, but somehow you turned me into this... sex maniac.”

“Mnnnn... really... well, there is a restroom on the plane... how many miles to the airport?”




(Andy's POV)


“Oh..God, James, I would never do that!” I laughed it off feeling my heart sink, and a painful grip of unseen agony made me lower my eyes. If only you knew... what I'm writing... please understand me and forgive me for this... I have to... and only way to take you out of this dangerous game is... to deceive you.

I swallow the lump and reread the letter, blinking my tears away and making sure James is too preoccupied with the road. My eyes swept his figure, will I ever see you again? Andy... be strong. If you come unglued now, he'll feel it, you have to make him believe that you going with him. Think of something else. My mind went back to the talk with Mike.

He had no news, everything was the same, no more hits, no sight of Raven. Why he wants to take me out of the game first? Is that a sign of fear of a simple 'ladies first'? It wasn't like him to show any fear... something was wrong... something made him change his mind, he left Brodsky and concentrated on me... why?



---------------



Lost in my thought, I didn't noticed how quickly we got to the airport. To our luck, the first plane to the San Francisco wasn't full and we had no problem buying tickets. I was hopping for more time with James, but cruel fate had a different plan. I barely got all I needed, setting everything in place, and a short forty minutes later we were on the plane. When the steward closed the door and walked to the back of the plane I stood up. I have about seven minutes from this point.

“James, I need to talk to the fly attendant before we're airborne and I also need to take a closer look at the passengers. I know he changed his appearance, but I'll breath easier if I don't see anyone suspicious.” I passed by James, quickly sliding a small note into his pocket, then ran my hand over his chest and kissed him on the cheek. He caught my hand, looking into my eyes and I smiled. “I'll be right back... oh, and can you please pull my sweater out of your bag, I'm always get cold on the planes.”

“I don't think people are allowed to walk until we're in the air.”

“Regular people maybe, you're forgetting I have the power. Besides, if I recognize him, I can make a call and he'll be caught on the exit from the plane and all this will be over.” I smiled. He looked at the closed door in front and slowly let go of my hand.

“Okay... but, don't be long.”

“I love you too, James.”I smiled and quickly made my way to the back of the plane. Five minutes left.




(James' POV)


I watch the jet-bridge pulling away and tried to relax into my chair, but something was bothering me... something was wrong. I turned back and saw Andy talking to one of the fly attendants and breathed out when she smiled at me, closing the curtain. A few minutes later the engines started, I saw luggage carts pulling away from the plane and soon I felt a small jerk. The plane started moving into position on the runway. I looked back again and saw the same fly attendant behind the curtain, her hands gestured as she talked to someone.

The plane speed up, growling of the engines increasing, and with a small push we lifted off the ground. A strong feeling that something was wrong griped into my heart and made it beat faster. I turned back again, feeling more and more anxious, fly attendant was sitting with a belt on, barely visible behind the curtain, her head was turned to the side, lips moving.

Okay, she is talking to Andy... maybe she just can't walk back right now, while plane is climbing up... my heart started pounding in my temples. I stared at the lit 'fasten your seat belts' sing, moving my hands on the belt and ready to open it as soon as the light went off. Something crunched under my fingers, I reached to my pocket, pulling out a folded piece of paper. I open it and my heart dropped heavily into my stomach. No... Andy... please no...

“James, I love you. Please don't make a scene and try to turn the plane around. You'll never find me, by the time you read this, I'll be far away from the plane.”

I sighed out loud and looked out of the window. Why? I swallowed my tears and read further.

“I'm sorry I had to do this... but you left me no choice. I wish we could say our goodbyes with the kiss, I wish I was free to do that, but if I learn anything about you, I know how stubborn you are, you would never let me leave and I had to. Please understand, I had to.

I know you want to protect me, and I have no doubt you can, but it's not your fight, so I'm taking it away from you. I love you too much to put you in the middle of it.
I know you're hurting right now, I wish I could hug you and whisper 'ssshhh, everything will be okay'...and I wish I believed that it will be...

James, I left a cell phone in in the pocket of your bag. The one of two I said I bought for me just before we boarded the plane. I'll call you at fifteen hundred hours, that's three pm if you're not familiar with the military terms. I'll call you everyday at the same time. I know that he'll probably find the way to listen to our conversations, at least on my side, but I can't bare to lose a contact with you. Just keep in mind, that we may have a third ear...

If he follows me and watches me, learning my routine, this will be my one way to tell you that he found me. In the beginning he'll make me keep up the routine, to make everyone believe I'm fine, at least I hope he will...

I'll make sure to stop and get your CDs, that way we can talk about your music. I can tell you what it made me think about... and it could be one of the signs... If I tell you something a complete opposite from the lyrics of the song, that means he's near. I'm sure he'll make me put you on the speaker, so you can't ask me straight up... God, I feel like I'm putting too much on your shoulders... but, I can't talk like that to Mike, Raven would know it's a trap.

Hey you just said it... you want to be a spy, here is your chance.

James, just remember Mike's cell phone number is in your phone in redial, in case of... just in case. If you ever have to call him, just say your first name, he'll know who you are, but his phone is probably bugged... you can ask him to call you back from a different phone... he'll understand.

I feel like I have to tell you more, plan some code words, but all I can think right now is how much I love you and how much I hate to deceive you like this. Please forgive me. I know you understand me, you would've done the same if you were in my place.

Your Andromeda.”

Wow... the willpower of that woman is unbelievable. :o
She's such a strong woman to be able to leave James, but of course she did it to protect him.
It's interesting to see what's going to happen next. I have a feeling that James isn't going to let her go so easily. ;)

More, please ! :eager

OH MY GOD!!!!! Olya, I could cry this very moment!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! There's this heavy burden on my chest right now!

And he liked playing spies! Honestly, that part made me melt to pieces! This childish trait in him, I could imagine his excitement visible on his face, his eyes sparkling... Your James scenes are such a killer, they leave me fighting for breath every time! That exchange of theirs in the car was so cute, so endearing. God, they're made for each other!!!
And now they're apart!!!! I felt his shock and fear, that ugly sinking feeling in your stomach, when you feel like throwing up immediately. I felt all the sadness of the moment through him.
How wonderfully written!!!

And Andy, that wonderful, smart, strong woman! I just love how she made all the arrangments, plans, preparations, how she took care of everything, despite her emotional state and the pain of having to leave him. I just love her practicality and cold headedness! And her determination and strength, how she chose to fight, the love that made her go against her heart to preserve him. She's amazing and I love her!!!!

Beautiful, beautiful update!!!
I love this fic so much Olya! :heart: :heart: :heart:
