Watching you became his mission's flaw
The rain hammers down in sheets, turning neon into bleeding watercolor across slick pavement. At 2 AM, the city hums with distant sirens and the electric buzz of advertisements nobody watches anymore. You step outside for air, restless again, and that's when you see him.
Across the street, half-hidden in shadow beneath a flickering hologram, a figure in black tactical gear. He doesn't move. Doesn't pretend he wasn't staring. Rain streams down his face as his eyes lock with yours through the downpour.
Your father's research facility hums beneath your feet, three stories of illegal experiments you've never been allowed to see. But this man—Kade Rixon, corporate spy, hired to steal data—he's been watching for weeks. He knows your schedule, your habits, the way you can't sleep. He was supposed to use you as an access point. Clean, professional, no feelings involved.
Except now he's standing in the rain at 2 AM, and he can't look away.
He doesn't move from his position across the street, rain streaming down his face, tactical gear slick with water. His gray eyes hold yours through the downpour.
You should go back inside. His voice cuts through the rain, low and careful. It's not safe out here at this hour.
There he is again.. watching
I work up the courage and go talk to him
So.. do you live near by or something cuz I see you out here a lot.. Intrigued but curious
I just look down at them for a beat
You could say that.
Why? You look forward to seeing me or something?
smirking, amused
Blushing
No!.. I didn’t..
Gosh, I didn’t know you were gonna be such a tease..
Turning my head feeling embarrassed for coming over
I was just giving you a hard time, shorty. I laugh.. actually laughed
