Their Secret Little Assassin

Chapter Forty Four

"What do you mean 'you have houses everywhere'?" Austin asked me.

"I got sick of living in hotels while doing missions," I shrug.

"Huh," he mumbled. "Are you okay?"

"I'm peachy," I lie.

"Aurora," he said in a warning tone.

"What is it with you and my middle name?" I chuckled.

"It's pretty, I like it," he smiled.

"That's the nicest thing you've said to me," I smirk.

"No it's not," Austin argued.

"Yeah, it is. You constantly call me a bitch and shit," I tell him.

"Okay, now I know you're joking," He said as he rolled his eyes.

"Miss, I heard talking," my assistant/help said as he entered the room with his gun raised.

"Who are you?" Austin asked him.

"That's James, he works here," I tell Austin.

"Ma'am is this man a threat?" James asked.

"Nope, but thanks James," I smile.

James returned the smile and left the room.

I checked the time on my phone and turned it off because Ezio and the others weren't really doing much.

I let out a yawn that I tried to conceal, but it was no use.

"It's like 9, did you wanna go to bed?" Austin asked me.

"Of course I want to, but you just got here," I say.

"It's no problem, I can just drive back here in the morning after you wake up," Austin says.

"Why don't you just spend the night here?" I asked him.

"Alright," Austin smiled.

I picked up Shit Head and held him in my arms as I walked back to the foyer with Austin behind me.

"Your stairs are very extra," Austin chuckled.

"I love them," I smiled.

"I'm honestly not surprised you have a water feature," he said.

I nudged him with my elbow as we continued to ascend up to the next level.

"Miss, your office door was left open, that is very unlike you, would you like me to search the house?" James asked as he came into view.

"No, I left it open. Could you close it and lock it up for me?" I asked him.

"Certainly," he nodded.

"James, after that you can leave," I say.

He turned back toward me and gave me a nod, "And, what time would you like me here tomorrow?"

"You don't need to come in," I dismiss.

He gave me another curt nod and walked toward my office.

"He sure is professional," Austin mumbled.

"I've tried to get him to loosen up, but it's no use," I shrug.

I opened the bedroom door and Austin walked in.

I put Shit down and went over to the bed and laid down immediately.

I didn't even change out of my normal clothes. I was just done for the night.

Austin took a pillow from the bed and set it on the floor.

"Well, aren't you a gentleman, but the bed is big enough for both of us," I tell him.
