Behind The curtains

25.

Third's Person's Pov

Night soon came upon the woods. The guys were still watching scary movies. Elani and Anees were upstairs. Angela was talking a nice bath upstairs. And Ruth was cooking something for them. Thankfully she had brought food so that the idiots wouldn't starve because the only thing they brought were bags of Doritos.

They had only bought a small milk carton and since they all drink coffee then she would have to go buy one soon. She had made pasta. Simple but enough for them to sleep on a full stomach tonight. They all ate keeping a nice conversation. Mostly asking questions to Aden, the 25 year old teacher. He asked them questions too and it was a nice to spent like a family.

Jamal was throwing daggers at Elani and Anees though. And not many noticed. But enough for Elani to feel uncomfortable with the glares she was getting.

"Well goodnight guys.. I'm off.. " Jamal was the first to leave.

Anees bit his lip, but stopped himself from chasing after his boyfriend. The fact that Elani and Angela didn't know about them made the rest panic a little. Everyone knew about Antonio and Ayite now because Antonio is a jealous boyfriend who almost killed a boy for getting too close to his dear Ayite. Ruth sighed and got up.

"I'll clean the plates so if you're done just head to your room. " she said as she grabbed her plate and Jamal's as well.

Soon she was the only one left downstairs. She cleaned up everything and turned off the lights. She walked upstairs calmly but she felt something walk down the stairs as she walked up. She laughed at herself because it was probably her own imagination playing with her. But the footsteps she heard scared her a little. She didn't have her phone with her right so she decided to just let it go. When she came into her room she saw her wonderful boyfriend changing.

She bit her bottom lip as she saw him take off his shirt to show that he definitely goes to the gym very often.

"Enjoying the view ?" He asked not looking at her

She blushed because she had gotten caught staring.

"Yes.. A lot.." She smirked as she closed to door behind her

"Are you tired ?" He asked her

"Yeah.. God all of them are so lazy.. I'm gonna make someone else cook tomorrow.." She smiled as she walked to the bed.

She yawned and soon laid down. He laid beside her and kiss her forehead before whispering a good night to his lovely girlfriend. While they slept, someone else struggled.

"Shhh.. It's okay.. I'm here.. He's not here .. You're okay.." Anees whispered as he held her in his arms

"H-he's here.. He's looking.. " she looked out the small window and all she could see was a face laughing at her. Looking inside.

"He's not here.. I'm here.. Go to sleep.. I'll watch over you.."

She ended up falling asleep. And Anees fell asleep too. With her wrapped around his arms. Her head laid on his chest and his arms protectively around her. They fell asleep very late, so they wouldn't be waking up early tomorrow.

"Jamal.. Go see if Anees and Elani are awake. Their hot chocolate is gonna get cold. "She said staring at the two untouched cups.

Jamal opened the door. He didn't bother to knock because it was his boyfriend for god's sake

"Anees-" he stopped himself

The scene playing was too much for him. His boyfriend, had a girl wrapped in his arms, sleeping peacefully. His smile fell and his eyes had hurt in them.
