“Mm,” Yelena hummed as she took a big first bite out of her chocolate cake, savoring the chunk of brown sponge on her tongue. “This is the best cake I’ve had in years.”
“Um…Yelena? Shouldn’t we be a little more cautious about this?” said Bob, who was sitting right across from Yelena and was starting to become restless.
“Eh, don’t worry. They only told us to wait in the designated area. We can do whatever we want with that time.”
“If you say so…” Bob said quietly, taking a sip of water and continuing to shift his gaze all over the café.
“Oh my God, this thing is way too good. You should have some,” Yelena said suddenly, pointing to the slice of cake with her fork.
“No, it’s okay. I recently discovered that too much sugar can get me overexcited, and if I get overexcited, I might lose control of myself, so…”
“Then stop looking at it!”
“What?” Bob said in surprise, realizing that his gaze had been landing on the delicious-looking cake every time it traveled across the room. “I…I wasn’t…I didn’t mean to—”
Yelena laughed and said gently, “It’s all right, Bob. I’m sure one bite wouldn’t hurt.”
She offered him her fork, bringing the little brown piece close to his face. He gulped loudly, nervously fidgeted with his hands, and finally opened his mouth to accept the tiny gift. He let the sweet gem roll on his tongue and took some time to savor it, almost embracing it.
“It’s good, isn’t it?” Yelena said with a grin.
Bob smiled and nodded, his anxious eyes now sparkling with delight.
A high-pitched beep interrupted the tranquil moment, and Yelena looked at her smartwatch to reluctantly accept a call from Bucky.
“What’s up?” she said in a slightly annoyed tone.
“Get into position. The target’s here.”
“Copy.”
Yelena placed a few bills on the table before she stood up and said to Bob, “It’s game time. Let’s go.”
Bob hurried after her and braced himself as he stepped out the door, quickly scanning his surroundings. The black limousine that sheltered the target was just about to turn a corner and head toward the trap Walker and Ava had been told to prepare.
“Come on, Bob. We got a limo to catch,” Yelena said, pulling out her stun rod and starting to advance.
“A-Are you sure this is gonna work? I’m really not used to this type of—”
Before Bob could finish, Yelena spun on her heel and closed his lips with a kiss, causing him to freeze on the spot.
Yelena smirked after pulling away and said in a naughty tone, “Be a good boy so we can go home early and enjoy the rest of that.”
Bob stared at her receding figure with wide eyes, then chuckled quietly with a blush.
“…You excite me too much, Lena,” he said to himself before following his dearest to the limousine.
