Allie

Seven

Ryke:

She stands in the living room of my home. She doesn't know what to do. What to say. She's in shock of what's just happened. She just ran away from her Quinton, her fiancé for how long.

"Ryke." She turns towards me and stares at me. Her green eyes look at me with her circular glasses that I've never knew she has. "Where am I supposed to stay?" She asks.

"Ryder's old room or you can have a cabin at the back." I shrugged heading towards the kitchen. She followed. I heard her stomach growled about ten times coming back from the venue. So I'm going to make her something.

"I need to go back to Quinton's house." What the fuck! I flicked my head back to the cupboards. "I think not." I snapped at her and I saw in the corner of my eye she flinched. But she tries to hide it and not cower over it. I cook up something to eat for her and then passed it over to her. "I heard your stomach growling." She gave me a nod. "Thank you." She stuffed straight in. She moans at the taste of my food.

"Please let me go to Quinton's." She asked me. I stare at her and I was ready to say no. But when I looked into her green eyes. "Please, I need to grab my stuff and Rex." I let out a sigh before taking a bite out of my food. Her green eyes stare into me. I don't know what to do. But she needs her dog.

"Ok, just wait a few days to have him calm down and I'm coming with you." She nodded and smiled as wide as she can before wrapping her arms around me. I missed this. I missed having someone to want to hug me. To have a safe place in someone else's arms. "Thank you!" She screams. "I just want my dog." I understand as I wouldn't want to leave someone and then never get my dog back.

Nina barked and I didn't realised she was at my feet. Allie let go of me and dropped down on her knees and stroked her neck. "Hey girl." Her tongue was out as she panted and smiled. She barked and she laughed. "You want Rexan back." She barks again and she laughs and then smiles.

"She's a stunning dog." She tells me. "Aspen and Ryder found her and couldn't have her as there's a lot going on at that time so I took her in." She turns to face me. "Where did they find her?" She asked me. "in a dumpster." Her eyes widen as she barked. "At the back of the rodeo."

She drops down on the floor. Nina walks over to her and licks her face, she laughed. She turns to look at me. "Be a gentlemen and help a woman up." I held a hand up for me to grab her hand and lift her up. I grabbed it and pulled her up.

She slams into my chest. "How old are you Allie?" I asked her and she stares at me. She smiles. "Why are you asking Mr. Kingston?" She smirked and I rolled my eyes, "curious." I shrugged.

"I'm twenty two." She placed her hands on her hips. That she's not scared to tell anyone how old she is. "What about you?" She asked. "Thirty two." She smiled.

"Why are you smiling?" I asked confused on why she was smiling as she knew my age. She looks up at me before giving me a nod. "I'll stay here until Rex, because he's not a found of other people." I nodded. "Let me show you to your room." She nodded. "Thank you."

"Ryke, your back-" I flicked my head to my dad standing there. He looks over my shoulder. "Allie?" He stares at her confused, confused why she was here and not at her wedding. "She's going to stay here for a while." I tell him.

"Your not staying with your husband?" He asked and she shook her head a lot. "No!" I snapped. "Sorry, Ryan. But I couldn't marry him." He stares at her, "that's fine Allie, take how long you want here." She gave him a nod.

"Thank you." She kissed his cheek. I don't know what's happening with me. I felt a little jealousy as I wished she kissed mine not his. I rolled my eyes. "Come on." I tell her as we walked up the stairs passing my dad and walked to her bedroom. Right next to mine.

"This is yours." I tell her as she walked in. "Mine is just next door so if you need anything I'm there." She nodded before heading more into the room. Mesmerised how it looks. "Do you want my number incase I'm not here and your alone?" She nodded and passed me her phone.

I grabbed it and typed my number and name into it and gave it back to her. "Ryke." I turned to her. "When can I get Rexan?" She asks. She stares at me and wanting answers and she need them now.

"We can go Thursday." It's a Saturday but he's going to be angry that she ran away before her wedding and I've got a trip to take "Ok." She whispers. She's nervous but she needs to do this. "I've got a trip, until then. So, you've got my family. If you need me you've got my number." She nodded and she stares into my eye.

"Your not going to Quinton's until Thursday when I'm there. If you do. I'll pick you and drag you back myself because he would never let you back and free." She let out a sigh and nodded. "Can I come?" She asks staring at me.

"I don't really want to stay if he knows you are the one that got me out of the wedding." She asked running her hand in her hair. "Allie..." she looks at me.

"Please Ryke. I can't stay here when he's going to try and find me." I nodded. "Ok. Then." I tell her. She smiles. "But it would be a four days journey there and back." She nodded. "That's fine."
