The Runaway

Elora

Oh god they found me! Seán had closed all his curtains earlier so thankfully no one would see me. I still hid just to be safe. Seán went over and answered the door.

"Good evening sir. I'm sorry to bother you but we're going door to door searching for a dangerous woman. This is a picture of what she looks like before some alterations. She now has black hair with purple in it. And she's wearing fake contacts to make her eyes look blue. Have you seen anyone that fits that description and picture?" I recognized that voice it was Brian! I peaked around the corner and saw him in a police uniform. Seriously! He's faking being a cop now! Ugh I just wanted to punch him in the eye!

"Sorry officer I haven't seen anyone like that. If I do I'll be sure to call the station." Seán said. Does he know he's not a real cop?

"No no that's not necessary. If you see her just call the number on this card. Have a nice night sir." I heard Seán take the card.

"Right. Will do. Have a nice night your self officer." Yep he knew.

"Man that was a close call. I though we were going to have to beat him up or something." Mark said after we heard his car pull off.

"Yea I know. Dangerous my ass. He did look like he had already gotten fucked up though." Seán said.

"Yea that'd be my doing. Him and two of his buddies cornered me. He pulled a freaking gun on me. I disarmed his and kicked his ass. Then goon number two pulled the knife and got me. I then kicked his ass. And finally goon number three tried to tackle me. I moved and well I guess he kicked his own ass. He ran into a tree head on trying to tackle me." I informed them. They both looked at me funny. Then looked at each other.

"So don't piss her off is what I got from that. Is that what you got Mark because that's what I got?" Seán said still looking at Mark. Mark shook his head in agreement.

We sat back down and finished our food. After that we watched some movies and ate junk food. Mark and Seán laughed when I tried something new and said it was the best thing ever every time. Eventually we all got tired though.

"So where am I sleeping? I'm not sure about you guys but I'm exhausted." I asked Seán.

"Well Mark is using the one spare bed I have so I'm not sure." Seán looked as though he felt bad.

"It's ok she can have it I'll take the couch." Mark offered.

"No way! I'm not taking your bed too! I'll sleep on the couch it's fine." I told Mark.

"Not happening." Mark and Seán said together.

"You're a guest so take my bed." Seán told me.

"No way! You've done some much already! I'm not taking your bed to!" Well I had to admit they were gentlemen to say the least.

"You're taking my bed and that's final." Seán said. He said it in a very alpha male type voice. Not many guys spoke to me like that. I felt weird things in my private areas. (And yes to inform you all I'm a virgin. I've never been sexually attracted to anyone before. And father thought it best to wait for the right guy.) I thought for a moment then had an idea.

"We could always share your bed." I told Seán. By this time Mark had already went to bed. He was more tired than I was.

"You want to share the bed with me? Are you sure? It's fine if you don't want to really! I don't mind the couch." Seán seemed shocked and embarrassed at my idea. He was blushing. It was adorable.

"It's fine Seán I don't mind." I chuckled at his reaction. He shook his head saying ok. We cleaned up our mess form the snacks. Seán made sure all the windows and doors were locked. He then set the alarm for his house. Then we headed upstairs. He showed me his room then he went into his walk in closet and closed the door. I assume to get ready for bed. I saw another bathroom at the other end of his closet before he closed the door. I took this time to take my bra off. This thing was killing me all day. I hope he doesn't mind but I was not sleeping with that uncomfortable thing on all night.

About ten minutes later Seán came back in the room. He looked and smelled like he had showered real quick.

"Lucky at least you can shower." I muttered at him trying to act mad.

"Well I mean you could've just asked and we could have showered together." I think he meant it as a joke but I'm not used to jokes like that. He just laughed at my face. "I was joking Elora calm down."

He came over to the bed to lay down and that's when I realized he was shirtless. Yes I've seen men shirtless before but I wasn't attracted to any of those men. I quickly lowered my eyes and laid down hoping he didn't notice the blush. Snap out of it Elora. You just met him! You can't get involved right now.

"Hey Elora can you promise me something?" Seán said suddenly.

"It depends on what you want me to promise." I was rather nervous and was sure he could tell.

"Just promise me you won't try to leave me again no matter how bad things get. I don't quite understand what's going on with you and your father but I want to help ok. I understand how dangerous this is but I really don't care. I just want you safe. Can you promise me that?"

"I promise to stay with you as long as I'm not putting you or Mark in life threatening danger. I won't risk your lives. I know that's not what you want but that's what you're getting." I didn't really hear his answer because after I was done talking I passed out.
