HetaliaXNyotalia: A dance with Fire and Ice ch 2

Alicia unlocks her apartment door; she lets out a scream of frustration as she pulls off her jacket placing it on a coat hanger. A small blond English Shepard rushes to greet her in excitement; Alicia kneels down and pets her playfully her mood turning good once again. "Whose a cutie? You are my little Amelia." she exclaims laughing as the Shepard licks her face in delight. Alicia rises before padding over to the kitchen; she opens the fridge and grabs a beer. She runs her hand through her blond hair, her feelings were hurt. She gently places two fingers upon her lips; they were still slightly warm from being in contact with his. "He didn't mean it? Then why did he?" she questions softly as she opens the beer and drinks the contents.

Outside in the parking lot Arthur groans in displeasure; banging his head against his arms that rested on the wheel of his car. "Didn't mean it? Great... Now she's angry with me... But, I-I honestly do not know what came over me just now... All I know is, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed kissing her. Her lips, I never knew they could be so soft...." he whispers to himself; his deep green eyes trailed to the apartment window he knew was hers. "Alicia Jones... What kind of spell have you placed me under?" he sighs softly; as he begins to gather his thoughts and come to his senses once again. He then pulls out of the drive way and ventures to his home. Where a very hungry Scottish Fold awaits him.

Alicia lies down on her couch, Amelia climbs onto the couch along with an American Long Haired cat by the name Leona as she flips through the channels as she rubs her cat's back. She soon begins to drift off to sleep under the warmth of two animals and a blanket.

The following morning Alicia walked to the Bureau; she pushes open the doors and says good morning to Linda the secretary; Linda gets up from her chair and races after her. "Miss Jones, the Director wishes to see you and Mr. Kirkland in his office immediately." she says Alicia frowns hearing Arthur's name be mentioned; she waves her hand to Linda. "Alright, alright." she grumbles before walking up the stairs and entering the director's office.

Arthur was already there standing before the long gray haired man, his hair was slicked back and pulled into a ponytail, he had blue eyes and fair colored skin. He was an old man but was highly respected having served in four wars. And being the director for the past fifteen years. "Director Wilhem, you want to see me?" she asks closing the door behind her and taking her place beside her partner.

Director Wilhem folds his hands together and looks at the two agents. "Four of our best agents have gone missing in Russia." He informs them, they both give one another a quick glance. But it's her that speaks first. "Which agents?" she demands, his face remains serious. "Gilbert Bielschmidt, Antonio Carriedo, Ulrich Zima, and Katya Aisulu." he says calmly.

Alicia's eyes grow in disbelief Katya was her best friend; she shakes her head "You can't be serious! Katya was born in Russia! She knows it better than anyone else!" she protests; his facial expression does not change. "It's true no one has heard or seen anything of them in six months. They've gone off the grid; that is why we are sending you two to Russia to find out what happened to them. If not bring them back." he says to the two; they look at one another with wide eyes; this was a very important and dangerous mission.

Director Wilhem then gives them the order to be dismissed; they both walk out of the office in silence. Alicia picks up the pace and begins to walk away from Arthur; she was in a hurry to gather her things and get ready for the mission. Arthur snatches her wrist in his hand; she glances over her shoulder and stares into those emerald eyes of his. "Alicia... I wanted to apologize about last night... I know I shouldn't have made such a bold move on you so quickly, it was very ungentlemanly of me..." he says Alicia wriggles her wrist out of his grip. "We don't have time to discuss this. We have to find our comrades." she snaps; before turning once again and leaving him alone in the hallway of the Bureau. Don't worry my friends... We'll find you and save you... I promise
