My only hope

Chapter 2

I inhaled deeply and exhaled as he was still hugging me,and then moved back a little bit..."Thank you..."I said and he smiled...

"It means nothing little mama...Now you have to eat..."he answered and I nodded...I lowered my head and started eating...

He was still sitting next to me and looking at me as I was eating...When I finished,I looked at him..."Thank you for the food..."I said...

I didn't even know why he had decided to help me,a girl he practically didn't know..."Can I ask you something?"I said and he nodded...

"Why are you helping a girl that you don't even know?"I asked and he smiled at me..."My mama raised me to think that I have to help people that need me..."he answered...

"Well,your mama raised you to be a good man,and you are definitely one.."I said and we smile to each other...My heart was beating like crazy...

He was such a handsome man,in every way these words can describe someone's beauty...His eyes...His hair...Every single thing about him...

I smiled and sighed..."Well,you need to sleep beautiful..."he said and I looked at him again..."I would like to see my face first..."I said softly...

"Are you sure?"he asked and I nodded...He got up and walked in his bedroom's bathroom...A few seconds later,he walked out,holding a small mirror...

He handed it to me and I took it in my hands...I looked at my reflection and my lips parted immediately...I had cuts and bruises...I was scary...

Tears escaped from my eyes,as I inhaled deeply and exhaled,placing down the small mirror..."Thank you for showing me the truth..."I said softly...

He grabbed my face gently and placed a kiss at the top of my head..."You have to sleep..."he said again,and I nodded slowly...

I laid back again and he covered me with the blanket...He pulled back my hair gently and placed a kiss on my forehead...

"Have a lovely sleep beautiful...I will be downstairs if you need anything..."he said again and I nodded...

He exited the room and I closed my eyes,trying to sleep...And I eventually did...I slept like this,peacefully,for a few hours,when suddenly I woke up...

I had a nightmare...A nightmare where my parents had found me again...And this had terrible concequences...

I started screaming...And that's when I heard footsteps quickly going up and coming towards the room I was in...The door opened fast...

"What?What happened?"I heard him asking,as he quickly approached me..."I had a nightmare..."I said softly and he sat next to me...

He let me tell him what I had seen...When I finished speaking,he hugged me tight..."None will harm you again,as long as I am here..."he said...

I hugged him too as I was shaking...Who knew that I would feel safe in the arms of a man I didn't know at all?

"Please Elvis...Don't leave..."I said softly as my grip on him tightened,and I burried my head in his neck...

I inhaled and exhaled...God...How his smell made me feel...I felt his hand rubbing my back and then I sighed..."I am not going anywhere beautiful..."I heard him saying...

"Thank you..."I answered and I felt him smiling against my head...He placed a kiss there again and quickly got away,slowly lowering me on the bed...

He covered me with the blanket again,and gently pulled back my hair..."Close your eyes beautiful..."he said as he got his guitar in his hands...

I closed my eyes,and some seconds later,I heard him suddenly starting to play his guitar and sing at the same time...He had such a relaxing voice...

He was trying to make me fall asleep...And eventually,that happened...I fell asleep on there again....

All the words in the world would never be enough for me to thank him for helping me...To thank him for getting me out of that hell...

And bringing me here...To his own heaven on Earth...He was such a nice man for this...The next time I woke up,he was still close to me...

He was sitting on a chair close to me,while reading a book..."Hi beautiful..."I heard his voice...And that's when I saw him...

He was looking at me...I smiled as I raised my hands and slowly rubbed my eyes..."Hi..."I said softly as I slowly pulled myself up...

"Did you sleep well?"he asked again,while still looking at me and smiling...I nodded...My lips parted as he was still close to me...

We were looking at each other..."L-let...Let m-me..."I heard him trying to say...He cleared his throat and started again...

"I mean...Let me clean your wounds..."he said and quickly got up,going in the bathroom again...When he exited from there,he was holding a big box...

The first aid kit...He sat on a chair in front of me and opened it...With just a cotton and iodine,he started taking care of my wounds on my face...

I was still looking at him...He was simply too handsome to just go unnoticed,you know what I mean?"Stop looking at me..."I heard him saying...

Oh,I wanted so many things than to just look at him...And he would never learn them...Cause I was too young and too infamous for him...

"Elvis?"I asked softly..."Tell me.."he answered,as he was still taking care of my wounds..."Have they ever told you that you are pretty?"I said...

Was I trying to make Elvis feel flattered?Absolutely yes...Would this happen,and would this result to him kissing me,just like I wanted?Absolutely not...

And the fault for that was on that damn age gap...
