Is this destiny?

~ San Antonio ~

In the nightclub, nearby entrance to the stairs which lead to the upper floor with VIP rooms…

Nala and Haru are swept away in their kissing frenzy.

The two of them inhaled each other's breaths without making any excuses. They were not in a packed nightclub. They were in a world of their own, just the two of them. They were reduced to the need to feel each other, and to get closer, because this was not close enough.

Nala's fingers laced in Haru's hair. The way he is pressing her against the wall with his body is making her feel that she has no other option than to cling onto him, to pull him closer, to feel him more.

His lips parted from hers and he kissed her neck and sucked and licked as he moved slowly toward her ear and then back down again while sending quivers through her body with every touch.

Her lips were behind his ear and her soft moans were driving him nuts. He felt the pressure rising in his lower abdomen and he had a need to release the tension… somehow.

Haru reached for her leg and lifted it slightly while holding onto her thigh. It allowed him to stand between her legs, and he bent his knees a bit and pressed himself against her and then his hips moved.

Nala felt him grinding between her legs. Haru was hard and ready and somehow… he was pressing on her sensitive spot. As he moved, she felt familiar sparks spread from her core to the rest of her body, sensation was getting stronger and the number of sparks increased, and her brain was getting numb. She knew what is happening, she knew where this is going, and she knew that this is not the right time or place, but she didn't want him to stop.

Nala's whole body trembled, and she was glad that he is pinning her against the wall, because her knees were unable to hold her. Her heavy breaths became erratic and she didn't realize at what point her hips started moving to meet his.

"Oh, God!", she moaned while clinging onto him.

Her voice was like a wake-up call for Haru. He swiftly let go of her leg and patted her dress down to make sure she is not exposed while taking one step away.

Nala looked at him with a small frown and unfocused eyes.

"I am sorry, Nala. This place is evil.", he quickly said, assuming that she didn't like it and knowing that this is not a place for anything like that. "I didn't mean to do this, it just..."

"Why did you stop?"

He paused at her question and looked at her in disbelief.

"You liked it?", he wanted to clarify.

She froze for a moment while thinking that there is NO WAY she will admit that she liked it.

"I like you.", she responded and leaned onto him. Nala wrapped her arms around Haru and took few deep breaths to calm down.

Haru hugged Nala and thought about her words and what they imply.

He tipped her chin up and kissed her on the lips. "How about we continue when we have privacy?"

"I will leave that up to you.", she responded and hid her face in his neck.

'The target left the VIP room', a message was shown on their lenses, and it started showing the distance between the target (aka Melodie) and them.

Haru took a deep breath while thinking that this is such a bad timing. Why did that woman come out now? He wanted to ask Nala what does that mean, that she is leaving it up to him? … Is she leaving it up to him to find privacy? Does that mean that she wants to proceed further in their relationship? How much further? ... But they have a mission, and all those questions will need to wait.

"Let's finish this safely." He kissed Nala lightly on the lips. "I'm right behind you."

"I know.", she smiled and pecked his lips before getting out of his embrace and going after Melodie.

…

"Miss Wright, I'm here to escort you out.", Nala told Melodie in a soft voice when she approached her in the restroom.

"You?" Melodie scrutinized Nala. "They sent a child?"

Nala was not sure how to respond to this. If she is a child, should she call Melodie an old hag? She read the files, and Melodie is 10 years older than she is.

Nala adjusted her mood and asked: "Do you want to leave or not? We have a car waiting at the parking lot."

"Sure. I have two bodyguards. Did you take care of them?"

"Are they inside the club or out?", Nala asked.

Melodie shrugged. "They move around. I'm not sure where they are now."

Nala touched her ear stud. "There are two bodyguards in the area."

"Thanks.", Haru's voice rang in her ear and it made her smile.

Nala thought that she will ask Sarah if Haru and she can keep the ear studs. They can talk in the evening when they are in their rooms. The sound is so crisp that it makes her feel like he is right next to her. She likes that.

"Let's go.", Nala told Melodie. "We will take the side exit on the left. If you see your bodyguards, don't stop. Someone else will take care of them. The two of us just need to reach the car."

Melodie nodded. She likes that there is someone else as well, and not just this teenage girl.

Nala and Melodie made their way through the crowd toward the exit. The two of them were more than halfway to their destination, when Melodie's bodyguards noticed that Melodie is not going back to the VIP room but heading in a different direction. They were in the crowd, waiting for her to come back from the restroom.

Unfortunately for the bodyguards, Haru spotted them as soon as they started moving: two men in matching black suits, moving as one, toward Nala and that woman. It was easy to find them.

Nala and Melodie walked through the small hallway and out of the club and Haru caught up with bodyguards few steps away from the exit door.

Luckily, the small hallway was dark and devoid of people, and Haru swiftly knocked them out without any witnesses.

He touched his ear stud. "Bodyguards are out. See you in a minute."

"See you…", Nala's voice responded.

Based on her voice, he knows that she was smiling.

Haru dragged the two bodyguards about fifteen steps away from the door and made them sit on the floor with their backs against the wall, their bodies leaning on each other. Drunk lovers maybe? As per plan, Haru injected them with JoAnna's concoction which will keep them unconscious for the next four-to-six hours. That is plenty of time for them to leave.

He smiled while looking at his handiwork for a second. His work is done, now just to meet with Nala and the other woman, drive to the hotel and wait for Sarah and Aiden to return from Dallas.
