Aftereffects

Safety

I ran into his arms burying my face in his chest as I gripped his shirt. Jake tenses  then he holds me tightly against him
" I thought you had died in the mine" I feel his grip tighten
" I'm sorry" he whispers, resting his chin on top of my head . I glance up, wanting  to look into his eyes. I see him tilt his head down  feeling my cheeks flush as I moved up towards Jakes face feeling him leaning down  his grip tightening then he sighs stopping
" I need you to grab your bag" he whispers and I come back to reality I nod moving out of his arms. I quickly pack everything sipping up my sweater 
and jacket walking back to Jake
" What now?" He opens the door
" Now I will get you somewhere safe".
As we walked downstairs I tried thinking of what I'd say to the front desk chewing on my bottom lip I feel Jake place his arm over my shoulder pulling me against him
" We are a couple Sam" he whispers, getting the hint I nodded. As we walked downstairs I lean my head against Jake's chest wrapping my arm around his back. Seeing the front desk clerk smiling at me she waves pointing down at the check out grinning then goes back to checking someone in..

I take a breath as we head away from the hotel, noticing Jake is on high alert seeing the tension in his body as we walk. I pulled my hood over me more, tucking in any strands of hair , happy that it was cold enough to do so. Seeing Duskwood was beginning to get ready for the festival, as  couples cuddled while friends or family chatted. I looked at Jake's back . I blushed looking away from him, falling into a quick pace with him as he walked faster. Seeing we were now on the edge of Duskwood noticing a black car parked.   I tense than Jake walks up to the passenger side opening the door looking up I quickly walk over
" Watch your head Sam" I smile sliding in and take my seat as Jake gets into the driver's side He quickly starts the car and begins to drive away from Duskwood
" So where are we going?" I ask
" The next couple of towns over I got us a room there" I tilt my head
" So you had this already planned?" I hear him clear his throat.
" Jake, how did you find me?" Silence then I hear him sigh
" Nymos" I looked over at him confused
''But how?'' I stare at him
" This is a new phone" no reply I frown
" It wasn't easy" he admits
" When I saw that the FBI had found you I panicked" another sigh
" I knew I couldn't contact you" his voice tense
" Not without giving you away" he falls silent once more
" Jake, can Nymos track  my exact location?" I feel the tension and decided to look out my window
" I remembered you telling me a few names you'd use if you ever packed up and left " I glance over at him wishing he'd show me his face
" Shay was one of them"
My eyes widen
" You remembered?" a nod
" I remember all our conversations" I give a small smile as I blushed.
