**Elizabeth's POV**

The sun streamed through the window and caressed me in a warm blanket of light. I stretched and let out a large snort, letting my arms spread out over my bed. I suddenly came into contact with something large. I suddenly froze and held by breath.

What the bloody hell happened? I slowly turned over to come face to face with a pair of striking blue eyes.

"Good morning Bella" He whispered.

"Giovanni, what are you doing in my bed?" I screeched, pulling the duvet around me and sliding of the bed.

Thank god he was still fully clothed, wearing the same suit he had on last night, minus the shoes and jacket.

He yawned and stayed quiet for a while before letting out a loud laugh.

"What's so funny?" I asked throwing the covers at him.

"You don't remember what happened do you?" He was giggling like a hysterical toddler.

I couldn't help but let out a slight laugh at his behaviour.

"Seriously though? We didn't?" I asked, climbing over the bed to collect my shoes.

"What?" he asked

"Giovanni, I'm not even being funny right now! Tell me!" I yelled, throwing one of my heels at him, he dodged it and grabbed me by my arm pulling me close to him. The heavy scent of his aftershave filled my nostrils as his eyes stared straight at mine.

"Elizabeth, you have my word that last night James dropped you off at the hotel. I walked you up to your room and you invited me in. We had a few drinks and then you passed out on the bed. I was tired so laid down next to you. Nothing more, Nothing less."

I was almost taken back by how truthful he was. I smiled at him and he let out a small chuckle.

There was suddenly a loud knock on the door which interrupted our brief moment of silence.

As soon as I opened the door a familiar smile caught my eye.

"Bonsoir Adrijan!" I smiled as I motioned for him to enter my room.

"It's not the evening though." He stated as he came face to face with Giovanni. I swear the tension was so thick it could have been cut by a knife.

After a few minutes Giovanni stretched his arm forward.

"Ciao, My name is Giovanni Petruzelli." He smiled waiting for his hand to be shaken.

Adrijan just stared at him with a cold icy glance, his eyes darkening.

"Elizabeth, all agents must meet at the lobby in half an hour". he said, with no emotion on his face whatsoever.

"Will do" I replied as I showed him the door.

He glared at Giovanni and gave me a smirk as he left.

"Testa di cazzo" muttered Giovanni as he put on his jacket

"He's not like that, just protective over me" I replied, making the bed.

"He looked like he wanted to wring my neck". He traced a line over his neck with his finger and let out a small grunt.

"Excuse me, I'm gonna go shower". I walked to the bathroom, Giovanni started to follow.

"Alone!"

He laughed and perched on the bed. I grabbed some clothes from my suitcase and locked the door. I stood in the shower for a long time recounting the events of the previous night.

I hopped out of the shower and towel dried my hair, letting it cascade down my back. I slipped on a white and black bodycon dress and some black heels.

I unlocked the door and chucked my dirty clothes into a hotel hamper, making a mental note to take them to be dry cleaned.

I heard a sharp wolf whistle and Giovanni gave me a wink.

"Lets go" I smiled as he followed me out. I locked the door and we walked down the winding steps to the lobby.

"Bella, How do you know Andrew?"

"If you mean Adrijan then we met on a mission" I said as he followed me down the stairs.

"How long have you know him?" He asked, sounding intrigued

"5 years, too long if you ask me."

"Were you two ever romantically involved?"

I almost tripped over the last few steps. Did he seriously just ask me that? Before I could answer I was pulled into a hug by Becky.

"Hey Lizzie, You ready for this?" She beamed as she lead us to a small table where the others were sat.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" I replied, taking a seat next to her

"Ciao Becky" Giovanni said with a smile as he sat across from me

"Ciao Italian Stallion!"

"I like it!" he laughed and I raised an eyebrow at her

"I've decided to give everyone nicknames, Pepe is Matador, You see Pierre over there? He is Baguette, James is called big ben."

I laughed out loud and eyed the rest of the guys, Adrijan was sat at the far end of the table. I could feel his eyes staring at me, their gaze burning holes into the side of my head.

"And Adrijan?" I whispered, hoping he couldn't hear us.

"Adrijan is Croatian Nation!" She giggled and pointed to him. He gave her a small smile and winked at me.

"Good morning everyone, Becky shift over a bit will ya?" James stated as he slid into the space next to Becky. She seemed to be controlled by his every move. Pepe sat next to Giovanni while Pierre next to Adrijan.

"I trust you all slept well. Now then we head to a secure training facility in around an hour, so make sure all bags are packed and ready to go by 9 AM sharp. Those who are not ready will be punished, left behind or replaced. Do I make my self clear?"

"Yes Sir" We all said together.

"When we reach the facility you will receive further briefing. You may disperse."

That was it? We don't even get breakfast! God I hate that man sometimes. Giovanni left to go home to grab a suitcase. We all rushed up the stairs to grab our belongings. As I reached my room I felt a light tug on my hand. I turned to see Adrijan smiling at me.

"Yaaas?" I asked, sounding out the s for a little longer to get on his nerves.

"I know it's none of my business but what's going on with you and Giovanni?" He asked, his eyes staring intently at mine.

"Look, to be honest I have no Idea? We just shared a kiss that's all." I could feel his hand tensing and gripping mine tightly.

"Just be careful, I don't want to see you get hurt again" He whispered.

"It was you who hurt me, remember?" I muttered under my breath. I felt his hand drop to his side and his head lower.

"I know, I'm sorry moj prijatelj" He whispered. He raised his head, I could see the pain in his eyes. Not as much pain as he had caused me. He slowly walked down the corridor, without looking back until he had disappeared completely.

I unlocked my door and let out a deep breath. I put on some Il volo and let my self get lost in the rhythm of the Italian songs. I emptied the hamper to reveal the clothes I had worn the day before. I slipped them into a zipped pocket in the suitcase and closed the lid. I sat on top to stop it from bursting open and I zipped it up. I grabbed my bag and touched up the makeup from the night before, changing out the lipstick shade to something slightly rosier. I left the eye makeup as it was and just added a light powder to keep my skin looking clear. Thank the lord that I didn't have panda eyes. I did a small happy dance and packed my handbag.

Picking up my suitcase I rolled it out of my door and locked it, making sure to collect everything I owned. I turned around to come face to face with a tall man who smelt of a strong scent of vodka, tequila and vomit. He placed his hand over my mouth and grabbed my hands and pulled them behind me.

"Don't worry darling, It'll be over soon"
