Hide me away

Ch. 4 Together forever

As night curled and I felt Erin curl around me I sighed and stroked little snippets of her straight black hair, as I did this she softened and relaxed on my shoulder making my mouth curl into a small smile.

It was then I proceeded with my plan, I quietly nestled her in my arms and looked over her dark room. She now has no need to come back here, she only needs to stay with me forever. I need nothing else but her and that should be the same for her. Or so I hope. If she doesn't really like me that much then it would make what I'm doing now kind of meaningless wouldn't it?

                                                                                                       *

I carefully carry her bridal style and leave through the front door leaving no signs of my presence. I see her adorable sleeping face and remember that I'm only doing this because the outside world which she lives in is terrifying. There is no way a precious girl like her should be out here doing that kind of stuff.

I have been training since young to walk quietly so that prey wouldn't notice my soon approaching steps. She won't notice anything until we reach my home. Where she can be safe from everyone else. As long as I can make sure father stays the hell away from here and those other guys too, Erin is pretty so she's bait for those guys who have never had a girl before. Can't say I have though. I have had lovers before but I can't say I was practically serious with any of them, well, I'm not telling Erin that. Lest she gets the wrong idea and want to leave my sorry ass.

  It took a little bit of walking before we finally reached my house, well mansion to be honest. In a few short minutes I finally laid down with my little lady on my bed embracing her soft skin and scent, I'm pretty sure she might be frightened of this new environment but it's okay. We love each other after all. We'll be together forever...Right?

The men can't come in here without my permission and my old man doesn't want to come in either, says he's leaving my boy stuff up to me. He must be getting old or something.  Anyway, I cuddle her and try to leave a my scent on her so that she'll understand that I want her, and want to possess her. She might understand why I did this when she woke up, she's understanding after all. She's such a perfect woman, better than any other girl I had before.

 I saw Erin stir and decided to get up and make a midnight snack, she might appreciate one, before she hears what I have to say that is. I leave her reluctantly and go down to the kitchen in my mansion and make her a peanut butter sandwich which I'm surprisingly good at making for a dude and a soon to be gang leader. She might like some cut up bananas on the side of the plate and a drink of fresh water to freshen her up. So that's what I do.

Sooner or later my old man hears the ruckus and comes down to see me making a peanut butter sandwich and believe me I have never come down the kitchen just for a peanut butter sandwich, he questions why I am down here at midnight and I knew I had to tell him the truth since he'll find out about Erin sooner or later but...I can't tell him about her past, that dark past that she can't run from. The past that I can never heal no matter how happy she is now.

I tell my old man everything I can, how I met her and how I decided that I'll hide her away from this dim dark world she lives in. Where she must listen to orders from someone else and is like a puppet with string attached restricting her every move.

My father merely sat there with a look on his face, he looked at me like I caught a serious illness or something, he stared for a bit longer and then finally said "Will you take responsibility for that girl?"

Of course I would! Whatever happens to her in this place I will take complete responsibly for it! But that answer wasn't enough to please my father for he then asked "Does she really want to stay here with you forever?" Of course she does! I mean, we're in love. She might resist being in a new environment but after time and care she will grow to love this place just how she has grown to love me. We are destined to be together, fate brought us together and fate will keep us together forever.

By now I looked like an obsessed crazed person but it was understandable right? I finally found the girls of my dreams and I will never let her go. Not now Not ever. As long as I'm still breathing I will hold onto her and I will never give her to someone else. Not even my old man! She's mine. 

Father told me that he would respect my decision but if I come to regret it sooner or later then I can't go crying off to him because he wouldn't be respecting me but forcing Erin to stay with me. I thanked him but he doesn't need to worry for Erin WILL stay with me and we'll be happy as a gang leader and a gang leader's wife.

Father left me alone in the kitchen to continue my chore and I made my way up the stairs again to find some of my old man's henchman outside my room looking out for intruders, my old man said he wouldn't do anything but he's doing me a pretty big favour, asking his own personal henchman to guard the outside of my room.

That was when I heard the rustling of blankets and Erin's voice softly groaning as a sign of her awaking. I grin softly to myself and make my way inside the room, on the way I give the henchmen a "get out of my way" look and they quickly leave without asking any questions which is how I like my men. Quiet and quick. (Quick to understand I mean) I swiftly enter the room easily balancing the tray of food on my elbows and closing the door behind me with my other hand. I see Erin rubbing her eyes and starting to refocus her vision.

As her eyes open more I put the tray on the nearby table and swoop down quickly to give her a chaste kiss on the lips and watching her eyes open wider in surprise and maybe a bit of fear.

I can't wait to see what she has to say to me now.
