As Dreams Take Flight ~ A Story Of Betrayal, Love And LIES

Chapter Five - Let Me Out

"I...I think I should go." I whispered, looking at Luke.

His pupils eyed my breasts, which I shyly covered up with my jacket. "Please stay."

I shook my head. "I...I can't. I'm sorry, thankyou for having me." I backed up quickly to the door, reaching for the doorknob when I felt some cold fingers on my back, causing my back to arch.

"The least you can do is give me a kiss, princess. I took you into my home and then I fed you dinner. I also gave you some clothes...you owe me something, sweetheart."

Ah, shit. I knew this guy was bad knews. "No! Forget it." I opened the door and stepped out.

Grabbing my arm, he pulled me back in and held onto my upper arms and looked at me once again, this time pushing me into a kiss.

"N-no!" I squirmed and tried to pull away, but he became too strong. His tongue faught with mine. I finally managed to pull away but he just closed back in. I shut my eyes and mouth, grinding my teeth together.

He licked my lips, begging me to open for him. Why not get back at Pheonix?

I opened my mouth and decided to go with it. Our tongues caught each other, dancing on the walls of our mouths. He pulled away, smiling.

"Not too bad, princess. Tomorrow night?" He shot the suggestion like a bullet.

"Hey! Not so fast. You make me kiss you and now you're asking me out on a date?"

He kissed me again before I could react. "No, not a date. Just dinner."

I scoffed and smacked him lightly on the cheek, laughing quietly to myself when he turned away, holding his cheek. "Bitch, that hurt."

"And awww, man!" I made a buzzer sound. "You just lost your chance at having me over for dinner. See you!" I giggled and pushed him as I ran out the door. The spring air blew around my face, whipping my hair in various places.

 My feet slapped against the damp streets, the day turning into night. I wasn't sure where I was going, or where I was. I just felt that if I kept running and never talked to anyone - I could make it safely to my unknown destination.

I felt like I had to go home, even if that stupid bastard was there.

A sharp thought jumped into my mind. My parents probably thought I was dead somewhere, and if I went home, Phoenix would torture me to no end. The only place left to go - back to Luke's house.

Which was pretty risky, considering he seemed to be crushing on me. But that was all that was left - unless I wanted to hitch hike and drive around with some old creep again. But that was a no-brainer. Answer? Luke's house.

I knocked on his door. It had started to rain and I got lost a few times on my way back. I even had to ask for directions - twice.

An older man opened the door for me. I recognized him. He was Luke's grandfather. "Mr. Memories?"

He nodded. "Glad you decided to come back, Miss Picture." He stood back and gestured for me to enter the warm and clean air of the house.

Luke strided out from what looked like his bedroom. He smirked, laughing gently. "I knew you couldn't resist me, Princess. Let's go get you some more clothes." He pointed to the room he came out of. I was right, his bedroom.

I walked into his bedroom. It was clean, like the rest of the house. No suprise there. "Hey, why don't you look through some clothes." He pulled a pile out of his drawr. "They are probably too big for you, but it'll have to work."

He walked out as I changed. I knocked on the door to signal him that it was all right to come back in. As he came back in, he locked the door.

"Hey!" I yelled, panicing. "What gives? Why are you locking the door?"

He smiled. "Because I can't let you leave just yet."
