When he came to a stop in front of her apartment complex, Marcella gently got off of the motorcycle and grabbed her things. It was cold outside, so she buttoned up her jacket enough to keep her warm. "Thank you for everything, Chris. I had a wonderful evening with you!" Marcella meant every word, her heart fluttered as a warm smile crept across her face, she was humble and very pleased.

celebrityimages.org/thumbs/0857620/0857620_101.jpeg Chris cut off the motorcycle in front of Marcella's apartment. She got off, and thanked him. He smiled, taking off his helmet. "The pleasure was all mine." He got off his motorcycle, after setting the prop up, and walked to her, putting his hands around her waist. "Let me atleast walk you to the door..." He then pulled one hand away, and walked her to the the front door. He turned to Marcella, gazing at her.... She was so beautiful, his heart was pounding. He ran his hands through her hair. His fingers ran up from the nape of her neck, to the crown of her head. His heart pounded even harder, as he gently pulled her close to him, and placed a soft kiss on her lips....

As they walked up the stairs they had pleasant conversations, even shared a few laughs. Once they reached her apartment door, Marcella felt his hands wander, normally she would protest but with Chris it felt, different. Her heart was pounding against her chest, and then it hit her, his warm, soft lips covered her own in a simple yet pleasant embrace. Without having a thought, she kissed him back and felt her knees go weak, she practically melted in his arms. Once the kiss was done, she pulled away slightly before resting her head against his chest. "Well, that was a good way to end our date huh?"

Chris smiled as she put her head on his chest. He kissed the top of her head, and nuzzled her a bit. "I honestly don't want it to end...." He took her hands, and stroked them with his thumbs. "I enjoyed my time with you tonight... If it's not to odd to say..." He sighed, "I've never really felt this content before... My work with my mother keeps me cold and stern, but... i just--" He tried to find the words, "I guess I'm saying you make me feel at ease... That I don't have to be on guard..." He kissed her again, caressing her face with his hands. He then pulled back, keeping his hands on her. "So beautiful..."

It was a rough life for her as a soldier, most of the time her feelings are kept hidden behind the hard material of her armor. With Chris however, she didn't feel the need to suppress her feelings any longer, Marcella felt safe around Chris, and yes while their encounter was short and brief, feelings tend to blossom in mysterious ways. Wanting to feel his warm lips against hers, Marcella looked up at Chris and kissed him once more, yet this time she held it longer. She closed her eyes to embrace the moment, as her heart patted furiously inside her chest.

celebrityimages.org/thumbs/0857620/0857620_101.jpeg Chris' heart felt like it was going to explode out of his chest. He couldn't think straight. He pulled Marcella's form closely and tightly, caressing her waistline. He had never been so drawn to a person before, felt so connected. Chris was raised to view people as disposable. This was cracking the illusion that people didn't matter. Marcella mattered to him. That he could trust her, and that... Maybe.... Someone could truly love him. He pulled back, slightly emotional. He gained his composure, and smiled at her. "Would you like me to come in..?" He grinned, 'Or have you gotten sick of me?" He laughed.

"Yeah, of course you can come in!" She said to Chris as she unlocked the door to her apartment. Upon arriving in her apartment, Marcella set her things down and took off her heels. While they were nice, they hurt like hell! No wonder why she only wore them a few times! Smiling at Chris, "You can make yourself at home! Anything you need just ask me!" Marcella walked into the kitchen to fix herself a glass of water, something to help draw out the alcohol in her system.

celebrityimages.org/thumbs/0857620/0857620_101.jpeg Chris meekly walked in. It was a nice place. It wasn't as lavish as the places he's used to living in, which he quite enjoyed. "I like it." He said, as he walked in, looking around. "Of course... I'm alright for the moment..." As he walked to the sofa to sit, a family photo caught his eye. Upon first impression, he was unbothered by it. It seemed like a nice get together, and Marcella of course looked amazing in it. However, the longer he looked, the more he felt a pit in his heart. Her parents looked loving, and warm... Her siblings looked supportive and strong. He frowned a bit, knowing what he had. His mother was incredibly stern, and cold. His father was distant. Nina was no where to be seen. Anna was only concerned about herself. All Chris ever wanted was to feel safe, and his family was counterproductive to safety. He sighed, confused as to why he was here. What did he ever do to get the attention of this girl who seemed so caring... Chris was a murderer, and for the first time in his life, he felt guilty over that. He stared at the photo. All he could do was feel ashamed.

She walked over to the living room, and sat down next to him, "Here you go love. Here's some water." Marcella sat the glass of water down in front of him. Soon, Marcella noticed that something was troubling Chris, he looked distraught and sad. "Chris, what's wrong?" She asked, her voiced slayed with concern. Looking over, Marcella also noticed that he took a particular interest in her family photos, could this be the problem? Whatever it was, Marcella was willing to find out. Or at least help the man.

Chris' concentration was torn immediately when Marcella set the water in front of him, and asked what was wrong. He simply smiled, "Nothing." He took a sip of water, and set the glass down. He then sat back in the sofa, and put his arm around her. He didn't want her to see him bothered, or upset. That was a weakness. He tensed a little, and rubbed his eyes a bit. Should he tell her? No, it was too soon anyways. He drank more water, and suddenly found himself unable to say anything. Not even anything stupid. His mind just kept drawing blanks. "I--" He muttered, and then smiled at her, "I think you have a beautiful family." The words felt like vomiting needles coming out of his mouth.

Picking up the picture, she smiled at the thought of her family, she missed them a lot. Looking at Chris, a village idiot could tell what the problem was. And with Marcella knowing his sister, the problem became apparent, family. Looking away from Chris slightly, and putting the picture back on the table, "Chris?" Marcella stated, "You aren't offended because I have a family? Are you?" Marcella didn't want to make Chris feel uncomfortable, that's the last thing she wanted.

celebrityimages.org/thumbs/0857620/0857620_101.jpeg Chris cringed slightly when she asked if he was offended. "I'm not offended that you have family..." He laughed a bit. "We just didn't really do stuff like that..." He said. He sighed, "I'm sure you know what kind of family I have... I'm a little surprised you agreed to go on this date, to be honest..." He picked up the picture, and looked at it. He then looked at Marcella, "I can't give you that. Killers can't give you anything resembling that." He said, with a grit to his voice. He set it down, and looked at her, taking her hands. "I know this is our first date, but... I really like you and I want you to be aware of what you're getting into." He paused, frowning a bit, "I am an assassin. I've murdered hundreds of people. My mother is my boss, my sisters are killers. My father was a killer. The fact that I've even lived this long is incredible. If you feel like you can live this life, then we'll proceed to see how things go, but...." He looked at her, with a hint of sadness in eyes, "If you can't please tell me now, because I'd hate to waste your time."

Like she didn't notice that right? This caused her to chuckle a little, "Chris. I already know you're an assassin. I can see it in your eyes." Marcella looked deep into his eyes, "Your eyes tell a story, that your words cannot. When I look into your eyes, I see all that you've been through." She shifted her weight over to him, to gently stroke his face with her thumb, Marcella smiled at her love, "But you know what? That doesn't change my feelings for you. Besides, my hands are clean either. Remember my occupation? So we both kill for a living." Marcella didn't really care if Chris was an assassin because deep down she knew that he was forced into that life, she had a choice on the other hand, her choice was to kill.

celebrityimages.org/thumbs/0857620/0857620_101.jpeg Chris could only smile painfully. He kissed Marcella, looking at her... gazing... "Can I give you an example of something I had to watch?" He pulled back. He bit his bottom lip, and breathed a bit heavy. "It was about twenty four years ago..." --- April 19th, 1995 "Chris...!" He heard, just after falling asleep. The fifteen year old stirred in his sleep, rubbing his eyes. He looked over to see his sister, Anna. "Chris... the baby is coming...!" She whispered urgently. Chris immediately sat up, "What!?" "SSH!" Anna, sat on his bed, "Daddy's at a job, mom's asleep... I need you to take me..." He nodded, and got up, pulling on his shoes. "Where is Nina..?" He asked. Anna just nudged him, holding her bulging tummy. "Antonio..?" He asked, Anna still pushing him. He looked back and could see the pain on her face. He helped in in the car outside, and then ran around to the other side. The ride to the ER was eerily quiet. They got there, and he helped Anna into the ER after parking the car. "She's giving birth..!" Anna cringed, "Labor... I'm in labor..!" The hospital staff took her back, and Chris rushed to be by her side. They had her in the room, waiting for time... A few hours passed. Anna only let out a few cringes and grunts of pain. She wasn't being sassy, or giving serious sarcasm, or being her usual self at all. Chris was worried. The time came for her to deliver her baby. Chris held her hand, as she gave birth to a baby boy.... After the birth was all said and done, The doctor asked Chris if he wanted to cut the cord. "Uh... Yeah..!" He put the gloves on, and took the scissors. Before cutting, he looked at his sister. Her eyes were glassy.... She was silent, staring off in space. Chris turned his attention to the task at hand, and cut the cord. He gave the scissors back to the doctor, smiling a bit, looking at his nephew. He was an Uncle, and he was so excited. Chris was wondering why Anna wasn't happier. The doctor gave Anna her son, and she held him, looking at him after he stopped crying. "Oh... baby..." Tears began streaming down the brunette's face, "Mommy has to let you go... I hope that you understand, even without any explanation, why I have to do this.." Chris looked on in heartbreak.... He had never seen Anna look so crushed before. "I hope that whoever takes you, will give you all the love you deserve.... and that y-you won't end up with one like mine...." She kissed his forehead, and gave him to the doctor.... She looked away as he took her son, tears streaming down her face. The nurses cleaned her up in silence as she cried, gave her the medicines she needed, and left. When they were alone, Chris crawled next to Anna, laying next to her. He wrapped his arms around his sister as she violently sobbed. "It's gonna be okay, Anna..." was all he could say, as he started to cry himself... "It's gonna be okay." ---- As Chris' story came to an end, his eyes were glassy. "She gave him up because of the lives we lead..." He looked at Marcella, "I never want to put a woman through that..."

No woman, not even Marcella,herself would have the courage to give up her own child. She wiped off the tears that stained her cheeks and partially ruined her make-up, not that she cared. The only thing she cared for now is Chris, as she pulled him into her embrace, holding him close to her as she ran her fingers through his hair, in an attempt to comfort him. There was a silence that developed in the room, but before long, Marcella looked Chris in the eyes, she loved his eyes they always told her everything she needed to know about him. "Chris..." Was all she could mutter, "I-I'm sorry you went through something that horrific." After those words, Marcella didn't know what else to say, who would after hearing a story such as that?
