Hold me all night long, even... if it kills you?

I love you. :) Chapter 5

felt Erik caresse my cheek slowly. I blinked my eyes open and noticed Erik smiling at me. 'We're a few miles away. You might want to wake up.' It was late afternoon when we reached the coast lines. The sun became a bright red and started descending. I could already see Palm trees surrounding the place. My stomach was too busy doing flips though. Erik kissing and carressing my cheek was a little too much for my belly. I loved it though. I smiled. "How long do you think it will take?" "About in a hour or so I guess." Erik replied turning towards me. I needed to talk to him badly . Did the kiss even mean anything to him. I know he said he already loved me but were we official? Was I his girlfriend. Not that I won't love it . I turned towards him and opened my mouth to say something but closed it again thinking it would be better if I didn't say anything right now. Erik was humming a tune and tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. His sleek black hair was now ruffled. His eyes were as green as ever. I could stare at him all night and day long but in the consequences of him thinking I was a stalker I thought giggling. He grinned at me and turned back. " I need to make a quick stop" He said looking around. I frowned. The next time he wanted to make a stop I almost left him but I did get my first kiss. He stopped his car in a parking space and went out. He came back a few minutes later with a small white package and a red rose. I smiled. It was obviously for me. He must have planned everything. I thought grinning. He got in and smiled. " Special delivery for Madame Gray." I laughed. "Now a Australian accent huh?" He grinned. I took the Rose and the package. I opened it slowly. Inside lay a beautiful white gold charm bracelet. The charms were made out of shining stones. One was a gas pump which was a topaz. I laughed. The first time I saw him. Another was something like a steak which was a ruby. I smiled. Our first informal date. Another one was a heart which was a soft pink. Erik took the bracket from my hands and opened the heart. Inside was a small engraving which I could barely make out but Erik told me. "this is my heart. Keep it with you so it can never will go to someone else for one reason. I love you with all my heart." he said shyly. Tears filled my eyes. It was so sweet. He took my wrist carefully and put it on. "But but, it's so expensive." Ruby, topaz, and pink diamond plus white gold. It must be atleast a hundred thousand dollars. He shook his head. " You're worth much more. I smiled and displayed in front of the sun. The days caused the bracelet to sparkle and twinkle. "You like it?" Erik asked as we started the car again. I shook my head. "No way." His eyes turned extremely sad for a second before I answered again. "I love 

It."'I said softly. He smiled. " Good to know ." I looked at him and put my hands on my hips. "Did you think of this yourself?" He grimaced. "Not exactly. My mom helped a bit." he said. My mouth opened in shock as I registered his words. As I read in many books the mother was supposed to be mean and sarcastic well I guess not in every case. "Tell her I said thank you." I said smiling. He grinned. "My moms a darling. She's always been there for me." I grinned. "Good to know." He pointed out. "Welcome to Malibu beach. The surfer's paradise." The blue ocean came in view and I could see people surfing or just fooling around.' I clapped my hands excitedly. "Drive faster!" Erik burst out laughing but did as he was told. "I can't believe I'm dating a three year old as he took my hand. Now that hit me hard. I looked at him and frowned."Everyone tells me I'm mature." I said defending myself. He grinned. "I'm kidding." Grumbling I turned back. "Not." He whispered just enough to let me hear. I smacked him on the arm and stuck my tongue out at him and turned around. Putting my hands over my chest I sat fuming. He chuckled and took my hand in his. That was enough to make me melt but he massaged it slowly drawing small circles. He lent in and whispered, "I'm sorry." I turned to look at him and I melted. His eyes turned dark green and he looked at me with a small smile that I felt like kissing him on the spot." Apoligy accepted." I grumbled slowly. He grinned and pecked my cheek. "Sorry ness." He squeezed my hand and chuckled. "What?" I asked curious. "your hand fits perfectly in my hands. It feels nice." I smiled. "Yeah it feels good for me too." he grinned and used his special line which he uses all the time. "Good to know." He said grinning back. After a few minutes, we reached the parking lot. I got out and put my shades up. It looked beautiful. Something I haven't seen in a while. Erik got out and brought a small basket. He put it up and informed me it was our evening picnic on the beach. Now that's romantic. I took his free hand and we walked hand in hand to the waves like a couple. I was grinning like a hopeless romantic which was so not me. Erik took out a cotton sheet and placed it in the white cool sand. He then grabbed my hand and rushed me to the water. We splashed and played with the slaves for what seemed like hours. Absolutely tired and soaking wet we sat on the sheet at twilight. It seemed as if Erik never left my hand, afraid he will lose me. We had a small but funny and bubbly conversation while we ate. Erik had prepared sandwiches and brought a jar of nutella. My favourite. After our snack he took me to the crowdy side with loads of stalls. We walked and he bought me a hand fine beautifully decorated. After a while we had to leave because it was getting late. We were walking to the car but he took me somewhere else. We climbed a few flights of stairs. Panting, we got to the top. He put his hands on my waist and pushed me a little further. The sight was breathtaking. Glittery lights in the background and waves fitted the picture. " It's beautiful." I whispered. He smiled. "Yeah it is." He then pulled me close and placed his lips on mine. It was sweet and full of love. When we pulled apart, he whispered slowly and nervously. "Will you be my girlfriend?" I wasn't this sure in my whole life. "Yes. I would love to." He smiled and kissed my forehead before pulling me in for another kiss. Sweet and tender as always. Erik pulled away and put my lose strands of my hair behind my hair. A chilly wind blew and I shivered. Erik held me tight. "Let's go home it's getting cold." I nodded gratefully and let him lead me to the car. He put me in and got in himself. He backed the car and after a few minutes I could no longer see the high blue waves. After a few minutes of comfortable silence, sirens cracked the silence. The body guards had turned it on. Erik stopped and got out to speak with them. Erik looked worried as the guards explained the situation. He got back in and turned the opposite way of going home. "What's wrong?" I asked. "A mysterious man was following our car for the past hour. The guards are positive it's him." "But-but how are they sure?" "He has ink stains and was holding a violet envelope." I gulped. "You can't go home. It's not safe." Oh no this was freaking me out."Where are we going?" "My house." He answered and squeezed my hand tightly. "Don't worry I'll keep you safe." I frowned. "You can get hurt because of me." He glanced at me. "I don't care." "Erik! Please." I whimpered. He put my hand on his heart as he drove. "I won't get hurt. But you will. That will but me the most. Please listen to me." I nodded. He truly liked me. "I love you vanessa. That's what matters to me the most." I looked in his eyes. He was telling the truth. I smiled and squeezed his hand. After a few hours we reached his house. Well it would be insulting if I called it a house. It was a mansion. They were definitely loaded. He parked in the garage and in hand he walked in. His parents were sitting in the living room their faces full with worry. Erik had called them and had informed them of what was happening. When they saw us they stood up." You must be Vanessa." His mother said smiling. I nodded. She was a middle age women with class. "I'm Eriks mother, Sarah." I smiled. "Nice to meet you." Erik's father took him aside and discussed what they were going to do. Sarah smiled and put a arm on my shoulder. "It's going to be fine sweetie." She said reassuringly. Yeah totally. Wish I had her confidence.

I smiled and slowly pulled away. Erik and his father came back with a slight worry in their faces. "Vanessa? I want you to sleep here today." I stared at him. "WIll there be a problem?" Eriks dad asked. I shook my head. "I guess aunt and uncle will be a little worried." He nodded and I left the room to call them. Aunt picked up the phone with a gruff hello. "Aunt Gray?" I asked and she understood it was me. "Where the hell are you? You've been gone from the morning!" She screamed in the mouth piece. I took it away from my ear and grimaced. "I think I may be in danger." And with that I cut the phone. I walked back to the living room and Erik walked me to the bedroom I was supposed to sleep in. We reached a door and Erik opened it and walked in. When he turned on the lights I kinda understood it was his  room. "I'll sleep on the sofa here and you can sleep on the bed." I frowned at him. Inside of me somewhere i wanted him to sleep right beside me with his arms around me. i guess he had other plans. "Mom got you some clothes to sleep in for the night." I took them from his hand and stepped into the bathroom to change. Erik's mom gave me a light blur shirt with I'm a morning person... NOT. and a pair of black shorts. I quickly put them on and stepped out. Erik was sitting on the bed already changed into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. He smiled at me when I sat down next to him. He brushed a few hairs from my face and kissed my forehead. It felt nice. I put my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. Before I could stop myself I faded to the utter darkness. 

I love you Vanessa! More then anyone in this world! I want you! I Need you! A man screamed. I was standing on this snowy hill and this man was not so far away from me. The man then pulled out a gun from his jacket. "This is what I will use to kill who comes in  our path." Then we will be together."

I woke up screaming. "Vanessa? Vanessa? What happened?!" I looked around. It was a dream. Thank god. "It was nothing. I hada nigh mare that's all." Erik frowned. He got up from the couch and crawled into the bed. He wrapped his arms around me which made me relax immediately. "Shhh it was just a dream. He can never hurt you as long as im there. Don't worry." WIth those comferting words I drifted into sleep.
