YOURS

16

We stop for a moment to take another brake. I can feel we are close; I'm having small flashbacks from when I was a kid. We were both out of breath, the light rain was not helping, it was getting steamer, I can't stop looking at him, the way his wet hair drops on his forehead and his humid shirt attached to his body was giving me goosebumps. I look away from time to time to not make it obvious. Then I got the urge to pee. 

"Fuck" i say out loud, he fast looks at me and gives a small, short laugh.

"You do get a dirty mouth, like a street boy"

"Ok I don't know how to take that, but I need to use the bathroom, so come on, let's try to get to the river"

"For what?"

"For me to pee, duh?!"

"Why don't you just go over there on a tree"

"What? I'm not a dog, besides I will need to clean myself, I'm not going to pass a leaf, it can give me a bad rash" I started walking where the river was. "stop" he stopped walking. "Turn around" he looked confused, but he did. I took my pants off and went in the water. "ok you can turn around" he fast saw the pants and he cover his eyes.

"You are crazy, what in the world you are doing?"

"I already told you; I was not getting my pants wet and in pee, that's nasty"

"Emilia you are truly one of a kind, I will never imagine a lady was capable of doing such things"

I finished and went out, i put my pants while watching him with his eyes covered, i step closer and looked at his lips, fast remember the kiss we had. "Well maybe you just know the boring type, or I guess I'm not a lady at all" He uncover his eyes and looked down at me. 

"I think I'm just used to the boring type" he said so temping his voice was deeper, he was so close again. We were both leaning on, getting closer and more in heat, when it started to rain, real heavy. We run to get cover but there were nowhere to hide. 

"Is so fucking cold!" i scream 

"I will take my shirt off, but is wet, it will be no use"

"yes, no keep it on please, for my sanity"

"What?" he said confused

"Forget it, let's run, for what is looking, we are in no luck"

We were jogging in the woods, when we spotted a big brown bear. we stopped and stayed still.

"let's move slowly" Steven said from my back, we moved backwards carefully but we stepped in a stick and made a light sound, yet the bear lifted his head and sniffed, then it saw us. It growled and started walking towards us. Steven fast grabbed my shoulder and moved me to his back, he shot the bear on its leg, it made the bear angrier, and it stood on his back legs growling even more. Steven shots again this time it hit his head, but the bear didn't fall. "Run!" he screamed. We run fast then I spotted my bow, perfect. I took a left while Steven kept running straight. "Emilia!" he screams. The bear changed his direction and now is following me. I tried and zig zag, I got a time spare and grabbed my bow the string was a little damage, and I don't see my arrows near, then I hear then bear getting close again. I started climbing the tree, thank God I have pants. once up I see the arrows just lying on the floor a couple feet from where I was. the bear was scratching the tree, starting to climb. Then I see steven running towards us, he started to scream to call the bear attention. Now the bear is going to him, I got the chance, i went down fast tighten the string and grab the arrows, steven shot a couple times but that didn't stop the bear, I clean my glasses with my shirt but is not getting better. I run to the side of the bear, put an arrow and pulled back, with all my strength. God, please help me, I begged since I don't see that well, I breath in and hold, concentrate on the big brown mass that was a couple feet from me, then I shot, a big growl of pain filled the air, overshadowing the noise of the rain. I run towards steven to see if he's ok.
