Surprises

Chapter Seven : In safeties arms

After hearing a loud thud the weight at my back fell away and landed on the floor, opening eyes that I hadn’t realised I had closed I look down at my feet and low and behold there he is The Merovingian, an unconscious heap on the floor. Raising my eyes to thank my saviour I am stunned into silence and also eternally grateful to see the two gorgeous silver assassins there stood shoulder to shoulder, running over to twin two I throw my arms round his neck and softly cry into his neck, he stiffens for a few moments, you can tell he is not used to getting hugs very often. After regaining his composure he puts his arms around me waist and squeezes me tight.

I feel him scoop me up in his arms and carry me out of the restroom back into the restaurant, first of all I think they are taking me back to me table but we continue to walk by. I see my sister slightly worried look mixed with a fair amount of confusion, I also see the death glare twin one throws at my sister. They have turned very protective of me all of a sudden, I thought with them being assassins they only would protect those who paid them enough, obviously I was wrong.

Approaching the top table they veer off to the side and sit at their usual place with me on twin two’s lap. I curl up against his chest, not caring who is watching, I feel safe here, his hand is gently stroking my hair and twin one’s hand is softly caressing my back, the duel caress makes me drowsy, I mean to say something but before I get a chance I have drifted off to sleep.

Slowly opening my eyes and trying to shake off the fog of sleep I realise I am lying on a bed, my first thought is The Merovingian got me. Quickly sitting up in the bed I try and recognise my surroundings but it is too dark to see anything, I feel something brush against my arm and that is all it takes to shock my into action, I shoot off the bed and throw myself against the wall, no way would I let someone come up behind me when I don’t know where I am or who was in that bed with me. I hear a faint rustling of sheets and a quiet voice on the air, “shh it is only us, we will not hurt you.” Hang on I recognise that voice, I started to relax, starting to remember what happened at the restaurant, the attack, the rescue by ‘my’ two silver assassins, hang on did I just call hem mine, I don’t think they would appreciate that, “where am I?” there is a slight tremor in my voice and I mentally berate myself for it, I know I can trust these two, “we’re at our apartment,” the other silky voice floats on the air, but this time it was closer than before. I tense slightly again, I put it down to the fact that I can’t see very well, but my eyes are starting to adjust and I can see two silvery figures a few feet in front of me and still getting closer, “it’s ok, you know you can trust us, come back to bed you need the rest,” it was twin two’s voice again, how could I even tell their voices apart so easily, could everyone do that or was it just me.

I feel both my hands being grasped by the twins, even their hands were strong and masculine and perfect, I let them lead me to the bed now fully relaxed. The twin on my right gets in first and slides over to allow room for us, I am ushered in next followed by the other twin, and again we automatically end up in the same position as before. Me resting on the twin to my right, I think twin two, my arm across his abdomen and my head resting on his shoulder, while twin one is huddled against my back, every bit of us touching from our shoulders right down to our feet.

A question suddenly pops into my head before I feel sleep starting to take its grasp on me, “you two know my name, I think it’s only fair I know yours” I hear small chuckles either side of me, twin two who is currently standing in as my pillow, and doing a brilliant job if I do say so myself, speaks up first “I’m Two, My brother is One,” they were weird names, but I guess for programmes maybe they weren’t. “There nice names” I mumble before sleep takes its hold. That meant I also missed the look shared between the twins and the looks of affection they both threw at me.
