The Lonely Spy (8 page)

Yolanda smiled and shook her head.
‘’Are you trying to get me drunk, Charles?’’ she asked. Charles
raised his eyebrows. ‘’No, no, that is not my intention’’ ‘’I’m
just pulling your leg. Yes I need a refill and I love the taste
South African wines’’ she said. Charles poured it on her glass and
read the label of the wine bottle. Everything was perfect, the
food, wine, mood and the connection between Yolanda and Charles was
electrifying.

Yolanda’s facial expression changed
from being happy to sad in an instant. ‘’What’s wrong Yolanda? Did
I do something wrong? He asked. ‘’No, it’s not you, everything is
perfect here’’ She replied. ‘’Ok, do want to talk about it?” he
said. Yolanda took a deep breath and took a sip from her glass. ‘’
I messed up, Charles. I have I have let my country, family, friends
and you down. I’m sure you must be very disappointed in me? She
said. Charles touched Yolanda’s hand and looked at her. ‘’ I am not
angry at you, I never was. How can you love and hate a person at
the same time? As President Sharon Washington said, you are already
a hero back home even if this journey is not successful’’ he said.
‘’ Really?’’ she asked. ‘’Yes, people will forget about it and
focus on the latest gossip in the press’’ he replied. Tears
streamed down Yolanda’s cheeks. ‘’ I’m going to prison Charles, I
can’t go there’’ she said. Charles took the wine glass away from
Yolanda’s hand, put it down next to the side lamp and hugged her.
‘’It’s ok, let it go’’ he said. Charles stroked her back very
slowly and gently. She wiped her tears on her eyes with his hand.
Yolanda pulls away from Charles and looks at him. ‘’Can I ask you
something?’’ she said. ‘’Ok, shoot’’ he said. ‘’Can you give me one
reason you broke up with me?’’ Yolanda asked. Charles finished the
wine in his glass and looked remorseful.

‘’
That was 10 years ago, I
was 28 year old lecturer and you were this beautiful, bright and
naive 18 year old student. ‘’ I felt you were too young and
immature to be in a relationship. You were constantly interrupting
me in the middle of lecture session and ask me about some girls I
laughed with. I take some of the blame too, because I took
advantage of a young lady’’ he said.

‘’
I guess I’m mature now
and you want me back and get in my pants right? Charles shook his
head and stared at Yolanda. ‘’ You got it all wrong, I’m
co-grieving with you’’ he said. ‘’Nope, I think you enjoy dating
naïve young girls. So that they look up to you like you are some
kind of a god then kick them to the curb. When was the last time
you dated a woman same age as you?’’ she shouted. ‘’Yolanda since
we broke up, I never dated anyone else. It was just work and work,
and when I come home I feel lonely every night. You have always
been on my mind every night. I’m sorry I have hurt you. One thing
and one thing I only know for sure is, I love you Yolanda
Anderson’’ he said. Yolanda pushed the tray of snacks to the floor
and jumped on top of Charles. They kissed passionately as if their
lives depend on it. A moment later, Yolanda pulled back, breathing
heavily and stared at Charles. ‘’I’m sorry Charles, it’s just I’ve
missed you so much’’ she said. Charles pulled her closer and kissed
her neck on the sides slowly. Charles took off Yolanda’s red silk
gown very slowly. He threw it to the floor and Yolanda took off his
gown. Yolanda started to get really turned on by the sight of his
sexy body. Yolanda breathed heavily as she touched his abs and arms
and she kissed him.

Charles kissed Yolanda on the neck then
went down. Yolanda moaned reluctantly under her breath. Her breasts
were round and normal size. Charles looked at them and smiled. ‘’ I
have always loved your bosoms’’ Charles said. He kissed them with
his lips then pulls out his tongue. He licks her nipples with the
tip of his tongue anti and clockwise very gently. Yolanda is
enjoying herself but, she is holding back. ‘’ I’m a bit nervous and
embarrassed but I feel like screaming out loud…… but ’’ she
said.

Charles interrupted her. ‘’We are the
only people here in this spacecraft, just be yourself’’ he said.
Yolanda smiled, she touched him with passion. Charles kissed her on
her belly then kissed her thighs. He kissed her inner thighs and
bit her lightly and teased her. Yolanda was highly aroused by the
foreplay, she was moving side to side, calling out Charles’s name.
He took off her red panties very slowly, it had small white flower
picture on it. He pulled down her panties very gently with both his
hands. He threw the panties on the floor and also took off his
shorts. He went down and licked her clitoris very slow. Yolanda
screamed ‘’fuck me now Charles’’ Charles obeyed and climbed on top
of her very slowly.

11 hours later woke up with a big smile
on her face. Charles walks inside with a tray. ‘’ Breakfast is
served, Madam Anderson’’ he said. She laughed at him. ‘’How do you
know its breakfast, when it’s always dark outside’’ ‘she said.
‘’Well, I have made you an omelet, fruit salad, strawberries,
whipped cream and fruit juice’’ he said.

‘’
I am impressed’’ she said.
They sat on the bed while they enjoyed their breakfast. They smiled
at each other. ‘’The omelet tastes very nice and a looks greenish’’
she said. ‘’Thanks I added a little basil spice on them’’ he said.
After they finished their meals, Charles took the tray and put it
on the floor. He went back to bed, Yolanda leaned on his right
shoulder and Charles cuddled her. ‘’I want you to freeze this
moment and remember it, as it will never happen again’’ he said.
Yolanda looked at Charles ‘’ what do you mean? She asked. ‘’We made
love in space, do you realize that? He replied. Yolanda notices
something from the window and points her finger. ‘’ Look, the star
is being ejected’’ she said. ‘’Wow’’ he said. ‘’ You were right
Charles, this moment will never happen again’’ she said.

Charles nods and holds Yolanda close
and kisses her. ‘’So what’s next for us in the future, when we come
back to earth’’ she asked. ‘’ I want you in my life and waking up
next to you every morning’’ he replied. ‘’Do you see me in your
future?’’ she asked. Charles looked confused but wanted to make
sure he heard her question correctly. ‘’What do you mean?’’ he
said. ‘’ I am talking about marriage and having kids’’ she said.
That question threw Charles off guard; his heart beat faster and
didn’t know how to answer it. ‘’ Forget it, I knew you were playing
me and only wanted to sleep with me’’ she said. Yolanda stormed out
of his bedroom. Charles tried to explain and followed
Yolanda

‘’
Let me explain’’ he said.
‘’No Charles, you used me knowingly you can’t commit and settle
down’’ she said. Yolanda tries to enter her bedroom but Charles
blocks him. ‘’Can you at least give me a chance to explain?’’ he
said. Yolanda’s face was fuming with anger. ‘’ No, let’s get back
to our workstation and work’’ she said. Charles grabs Yolanda both
on her shoulders ‘’ I need you in my life, have you forgotten
everything I said last night?’’ he said. Yolanda slapped Charles on
his left cheek. ‘’Lets meet at the workstation in 30 minutes. From
now on, it’s strictly work, I can’t believe I fell for your tricks
again’’ she said. Charles looked down and went back to his bedroom.
Yolanda opened her door and slammed it.

THE BLACK HOLE

Charles arrived first at the
workstation. He cleaned it and put back all the files and books in
the right sequence. Few moments later, Yolanda arrives and sat in
her seat. They both put on their seatbelts. Charles switched on the
spacecraft engines. ‘’Hey, all the engines are working just fine’’
he said. Yolanda looked at him and kept quiet. The spacecraft sped
off. Few minutes later Charles looked at Yolanda. ‘’Could you
retrieve the video footage of the meteors, waves of water, and
tornado that hit us, please’’ Charles asked. They studied them and
collected some of the samples of the water and meteor. ‘’Could you
test these samples at the lab, please’’ he said. Yolanda tested the
water samples at the lab and discovered it was similar to rain
water. She showed it to Charles and he was very impressed. ‘’ Enter
the data and store it. Well done’’ he said. After she finished
storing the data, she went to the telescope section. She looked at
it and saw something strange and familiar. ‘’What do we have here
’’she murmured. She looked again at the telescope and her eyes
looked terrified. ‘’Charles’’ she screamed. Charles turned and
looked back. ‘’ The Black hole’’ she said. Charles switched the
spacecraft on cruise control. He took off his seatbelt and went to
the telescope section.

‘’
Wow, we are very close’’
he said. Moments later they
went back to the workstation. ‘’Could you please
check the mileage we have travelled so far? He asked. Yolanda
checked the mileage. ‘’ We have travelled 14.5 Billion kilometres
so far’’ Yolanda said. ‘’Wow!! And what is the mileage of this
spacecraft? ‘’ It’s a 15 billion kilometres, we miscalculated on
the distance to the black hole. We thought it would take around 5
billion kilometres.’’ Yolanda replied. ‘’ Alright it’s not a train
smash but I think we will use the solar powered engines when we
come back to earth.’’ Charles said.

‘’
That’s good to hear’’ she said. ‘’ Can you also give me
more information on the Black hole report you have gathered so
far’’ he said. ‘’Black hole is in the process of merging with many
galaxies in the
Milky Way or its intention is to merge with all the planets
in the solar system. Few minutes later the spacecraft trembled.
They looked around and realised the spacecraft has been struck by
explosions of fire. ‘’Hold tight, I think it’s the rays or
something’’ she said. They can’t see anything else on the
windscreen except fire explosions. ‘’ We are in the sea of fire’’
he said. Yolanda and Charles noticed sweat coming out from head to
toe. Their clothes were wet with sweat. ‘’Charles what’s happening,
why am I sweating so much’’ she said. ‘’ ‘’ It will be ok in few
minutes let’s keep moving, I promise’’ he said. The spacecraft is
under pressure and its temperature has reached 550,000 degrees. The
automated voice message alert came. ‘’ Press the ‘’North Pole’’
button so that the air conditioner can switch on to decrease the
temperature of the spacecraft’’ Yolanda couldn’t locate the button
but eventually found it. Few seconds later, the spacecraft cooled
off inside and they finally passed the rays and radiation. From the
video footage they notice their spacecraft has been badly burnt.
The colour of the spacecraft has turned from grey to black but the
rays never did any damage to the spacecraft.

Few hours later, they notice something from a
distance
.
‘’It’s the Black Hole and we can see it with our naked eye’’
Yolanda said. They both clapped hands. Charles tried to HI 5
Yolanda but she was not interested. Charles realised he was no
longer in control of the spacecraft. ‘’ What is going on? I
decreased the speed but it keeps moving forward at a fast speed?’’
‘’The Black hole is trying to suck us inside and crush us. This is
the perfect opportunity to execute our plan’’ Yolanda
said.

‘’
Alright, so what’s the plan?’’ he asked. ‘’ Just switch off
all the engines then we will wait’’ she said. Charles switched off
the engines of the spacecraft
. ‘’Very good, our initial plan is to enter the
Black Hole and detonate the nuclear bomb inside’’ she said. ‘’Then
what do we do after it detonates?’’ he asked. ‘’ We wait and see
what will happen next’’ She replied. Charles panicked, lifted his
hands and put them on top of his head. ‘’ I wish I didn’t come
here. Why couldn’t I just be like the astronauts and declined to
come here’’ he said. ‘’ We have no plan B; we are going to die in
here. The only reason I came here was to be with the love of my
life and what do I get? ‘’ he said. Yolanda smiled, reached out to
Charles and held his hand. ‘’Everything is going to be all right
Charles. Once we are inside the Black Hole we will improvise and
change our strategy as we go along. Our strategy right now is to
detonate the nuclear bomb and reverse the extinction of our planet.
The dark matter might return and get back to its universal
functions’’ she said. Charles calmed down and wiped tears from his
eyes.

There is a little excitement in the workstation, as they
witness the spectacular and wonders of Black Hole. It is very
colourful. They see the Black Hole merging with Andromeda galaxy
and the dark energy from their telescope. ‘’ Wow! This is
beautiful’’ she said. Their excitement was cut shot as they saw
planets that looked familiar ‘’Look’’ he said. He showed Yolanda
the
back
footage. ‘’Is that planet Earth and other planets behind us?
Yolanda asked. ‘’ Yes it is’’ he replied. ‘’ This is bad, very
bad’’ she said. They looked the sky and noticed the Milky Way is
shrinking smaller and smaller.

They also notice flashes of light, rays and other unknown
objects passing them and going to the centre of the Black Hole.
Charles looks at Yolanda and she looked back at him. ‘’ I love you,
Yolanda’’ he said. ‘’I love you too, Charles’’ she said.
He said. They kissed
passionately and with tears flowing from their eyes. They stopped
kissing and switched on the spacecraft. They sped off to the
direction of the Black hole. The Black hole looked colourful from a
far but when they reached closer to it. It has different colour
levels to it. They entered the green level. The spacecraft turned
green and also it was green inside. ‘’It’s like we are in a night
club’’ Yolanda said. They passed the green level. They entered the
yellow level and the spacecraft trembled a little bit and passed
it.
