Almost Easy

"When do you want to go for this? I think this is an important conversation, as a customer I think my input would be helpful," She added, laughing a little.

He pulled her by the waist and chuckled. "You think I don't know this?" He asked her, kissing her gently. "I want to be here, you know this."

A part of her didn't want to trust him but at the same time she knew that she had to enjoy it while it lasted. Lilith was prepared for the worst case scenario, that Jackson was infiltrating for their own personal gain. " good as long as were on the same page,"

He nodded a little, " I was thinking this Friday around seven? " he was very confident in his skills In asking women out. He always felt in adequate .

He pulled her towards her room, kicking the door shut behind him. "Don't worry," He murmured, lifting her and setting her onto the bed. "I know."

She raised an eyebrow and shrugged. She'd be lying if she hadn't thought of finding out if he were single or not, she hadn't gotten around to it. "Friday at seven, alright. I know a place nearby, its really good." She smiled a little.

She smiled a little kissing him back softly, "I know you do, you can't keep your hands to yourself," she murmured and sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder. "I hate this life you know? It's so... bothersome, I just want to be left alone.. with you,:" she murmured.

He nodded, "Friday, at seven?" he offered, "I can pick you up, I'll make sure to bring paper - to take notes," he grinned.

She smiled a little. "I would expect nothing less," She said playfully. "I'll send you my address," She said, smiling a little.

He sighed, sitting back and looking st her. "I know. But what do we do, leave?" he asked softly, stroking her cheek gently.

She looked at him then shrugged, "Why not?" she asked as she chewed on her bottom lip, "I have the money to live comfortably till I die, is it bad that I want that - normalcy?" she murmured.

He smiled a little and nodded a little, "I'll make sure not to be late," he said ot her.

She grinned. "I would hope not," She murmured, shaking her head. "But I'll look forward to it."

He chewed on his lip. "But leaving isn't so easy, you know this. Who do you pass onto, and who moves into my spot? I'm supposed to take on JB's spot myself... where I do I go?"

She nodded a little, "I'd leave it all to Jaebum, as long as he promised to keep paying my tech the good amount I promised," she murmured softly as she thought about it, "I'm sure Mark or Jinyoung wouldn't mind stepping up in your place,"

He nodded, "I'll see you tomorrow then," he said to her as he handed her the coffee and muffin

"Your tech? Maia?" He asked curiously. "And you just...walk away?" He asked curiously.

She smiled a little. 'Tomorrow then," She said, taking the muffin and coffee. "I'll see you later."

She nodded a little, "I would but... I wouldn't want to leave without you," she murmured lightly as she stroked his face affectionately then kissed his lips.

He smiled a bit as he watched her then smiled to himself happy with how things turned out.

He kissed her back and sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Then... we would need to leave toghether, but I'm not ready to leave yet," He said softly.

She waited outside of the building and sighed, sitting on a bench, and chewing on her lip. She was nervous but kind of excited. She stood when his car pulled up and smiled a little. "Hey, the place is that way," She smiled a little, climig nto the car.

She nodded a little then smiled, "then I'll wait for you as long as I need to," she murmured but she knew in the mean ime she'd make up small homes in other countries for them to leave to.

"I'm not late am I?" he asked her curiously, "I hope you like this place - it has really good wine,"

He cheeed on his lip and sighed. If he was being honest he had no idea where they would be able to run. Her reach was far but so was Jaebum. It would be hard for both of them.

"I'm excited I'm expecting good food," She smiled a little. "So when are you expecting the puppies, she asked curiously.

"Within two weeks or so," he said to her smiling a little as he thought about it, "They're all house broken so its good - litter box trained, it'll be easier to look after them" he said to her.

"I wouldn't be fucking anyone over," she murmured softly, "'m not that stupid," Lilith didn't know what was going on in his head but she wanted him to relax.

"If you don't mind me asking about your family, where are they?" She asked curiously. "Do they live close or far?"

---

He moved away from her and sighed. "Of course I know that, but it's not as easy for me as you. You just have Maia to worry about and you pass on, I have to deal with Jaebum and the others!" He said in frustration

Lilith had considered it - going on her own, but the feelings she'd gained for Jackson over the last two months made her chest ache at the thought ,"We've got time, just... don't get yourself killed," she said to him softly as she looked at him.

He sighed a little, "My family... I was the only child both my parents passed already," he said as he looked at her - it wasn't a lie at least; they had died a while ago.

"Im sorry to hear that," She said softly. "Did you grow up bear here or move here recently?"

He sighed. "I won't. I'll work it out somehow," he said to her. "Don't worry," He said leaning over and kissing her softly.

Lilith nodded a little,"Good," she murmured softly as she laid her head on hs chest gently before sighing - part of her was sad he didn't want to leave but she knew he was a responsible person.

He nodded, "I moved here pretty recently about half a year ago," he admitted as he looked at her, "It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do,"

"It's good you started with the shop, saved me from bad coffee down the street and being able to get out and give my roommate some space." She admitted.

He sighed as he stroked her hair. "Jaebum wants your plans for the heist, he said he can help supply men if need be."

She nodded a little, "I know, and I'll give him my plans when I'm ready to - we have plenty of time," she told him gently then let out a deep sigh, "He's going to try and fuck me over," she murmured knowingly.

He smiled a little as he looked at her, "Well I'm happy to oblige," he said to her.
