“You are the best aunt ever!” I said and hugged her.
When I turned back around, Will snapped a picture of me.
“If that shows me or Nicky, you'll have to delete it,” Christie warned.
“Don't call me Nicky,” her partner growled.
She ignored him.
Will winked at me. “I'm going to need a lot of pictures.”
“Well, your family already knows me,” I said.
“Will, you'll have to be more discreet considering your friends have met Amanda,” Nic said.
“No problem. The pictures are for me.”
“No posting them on facebook though,” Nic said.
“We can go over the rules later,” Christie said. “Let's eat.”
“We got an update from Headquarters. They tracked some listening devices to one of the mechanics who serviced the Town Cars. They believe he was spying for the terrorists.” Nic ran his hand through his hair. “He's probably the one that busted me and led to them targeting Christie.”
“Are you guys going to get to question him?” I asked.
“Oh yeah,” Christie said, her eyes narrowed. “I'm looking forward to it.”
I desperately wanted another night in New York, but my parents were expecting me tonight. My faux family dropped me at the airport at ten that night. I hugged Nic and Christie. Then Will and I shared a kiss that had Nic and Christie making barfing noises.
“You're so immature,” I complained as I pulled away from Will.
“I'll miss you,” my boyfriend said.
“I'll miss you more,” I said. Then I grabbed my suitcase and headed for security. I wanted to turn around and run back to Will and never let him go, but I couldn't. I didn't bother to try because Christie would probably shoot me with a tranquilizer dart and have me transported to Atlanta unconscious. It was hard to get your way when people had resources that impressive.
After I boarded the plane, I sat waiting for the rest of the passengers to sort themselves out. I couldn't tell my parents about GASI until Christie came down. She had promised to come in two weeks for the next holiday weekend, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I could tell my parents and Lexi about Will as soon as I got home. I grinned to myself.
My phone rang and the screen lit with my favorite picture of Will. “Hey,” I said after accepting the call.
“I miss you already,” Will said.
“Me too,” I managed through my grin.
“Talk to you tonight?”
“Definitely.”
After disconnecting, I scrolled through to my second favorite picture. Me and Will in Mock UN T-shirts and jeans, standing together and smiling for the camera. This one was going in my locker.
Going undercover with my hottie hadn't been exactly what I'd expected. I could have used more cuddle time, but today had been absolutely perfect. We had done a great job on the mission despite blowing our covers. We'd saved lives, and we'd prevented an economic collapse. I needed to talk to Christie about those frequent flyer miles.
I pulled my lip balm from my pocket. Grinning, I put some on. I'd stuck my extra tube in the pocket of Will's jacket when he wasn't paying attention.
Maybe GASI would need us soon. And maybe the mission would involve kissing. Lots of kissing. As the plane pulled away from the gate, I drifted off, dreaming of Will's kisses.
