On the Run

Chapter 3: This is not a dream

"Amy" someone yells. There is darkness all around me and I hear my name again. This time it's a whisper and there is an urgency in her voice.

Liz.

I shot up and Liz puts a hand over my mouth and puts a finger to her lips. I hear voices outside our room. I slowly recognize them and panic shot through my body. It is this inn keeper and him.

How did he find me? Shit!

"Why can't I go in?" he demands.

"I'm looking for the key, sir", the lady replies patiently.

"My daughter is in there" he half shouts.

"I'm doing the best I can, sir" she spat out the last word.

Liz is still on top of me and I hear the key card enter the slot. I quickly reach up and pull Liz's face towards mine. Our lips connect and I place my hands on the back of her thighs. Liz's hands cup my face as we deepen the kiss. The door flies open and the lights flick on. Liz pulls away and shoots them a glare.

"Can I help you with something?" she demands with an angry southern accent. The lady's eyes move back and forth between Liz and I. She turns bright red and turns around with her back towards us.

"S-s-sorry....I thought....I thought my daughter was in here" he stammers.

Liz turns back towards me and leans down and begins to kiss me again. Out lips are slightly parted moving against each other. I drag my tongue along her bottom lip. She opens her mouth a little more and slips her tongue into my mine. My grip on her legs moves up a little more and I dig my fingers into her legs.

"I'm so sorry" the inn keeper quickly says and I hear them both leave.

Liz breaks the kiss and moves off me, slightly embarrassed. Her lips are slightly swollen and our eyes meet.

"I'm so sorry Liz" my voice cutting the silence that has settled. If I didn't kiss her and conceal my face from him he would've dragged me back to the hell hole. 5 more months and then I am officially free.

"I take it that's the man who is after you?" I nod.

"Is he really your dad?" she asks in a small voice.

"No."

That is all I can manage to say. The tears begin to pile up. I blinked and a few slips down my face. Liz sits on her bed, unsure of what to do. I wipe away the tears that streamed down my cheeks.

Liz suddenly begins to laugh. I can't help but laugh with her. The looks on their faces when Liz broke away from the kiss was hysterical. He tried to look away but it looked like his wildest fantasy was unfolding in front of him. Liz is only wearing a sheer shirt and a red lace thong.

"The look on his face" she tries to finish but can't. Tears begin to flow down her cheeks from laughing so hard. I can barely breath, I am laughing so hard. I snort without meaning to and Liz falls back dying of laughter. I was laughing just as hard as she is.

The laughter eventually died down and we both sigh at the same time. We giggle at that. I let out a loud yawn.

"Good night Amy" Liz says before climbing back under the sheets of her bed. 

I am too awake now to go back to sleep; and paranoid. I squeeze my eyes shut trying to get rid of the nasty thoughts that begin to creep into my mind. A small snore coming from Liz distracts me. I smile and whisper goodnight.

*********************************************************************

A little sliver of light peeks through the curtains waking me up. I stretch and rub my eyes.

7:00 am. I hear a groan to my left. 

"Mornin' sunshine" Liz says in a southern accent.

"Good morning" I attempted in a British accent. I didn't succeed because Liz starts to laugh. I roll my eyes and stand up. I stretched again and walked over to the bathroom. When I see my reflection I jumped. My hair is bright red. I thought it would be more of an auburn color but oh well. I run my hands through my short hair. It's beginning to grow on me. I smile. Liz did a really good job of cutting my hair. I washed my face and walk out of the bathroom to find Liz dressed.

"All yours" I announce. I pull on my jeans and the white shirt. It is a fitted v-neck. I didn't realize that it's a v-neck. I was too lost in my thoughts when I was in the thrift shop. I mentally curse my past self for not paying attention to detail. I pull on the shirt a little so that it isn't hugging my body.

"Don't be such a drama queen! It looks good on you" Liz smiles at me. Her blonde hair is pulled up into a bun. She's wearing a Venice beach tank top and shorts. "Ready for breakfast?"

"Yeah", I look back at my reflection and give up. Liz starts to giggle and I give her a confused look.

"We should hold hands" she said before she begins to laugh. I join her and then ask "that wasn't a dream?"

That earns a louder laugh from her. We put on our shoes before leaving. We walk down towards the room where they are serving breakfast; giggling the whole way. We walk into the room and the lady came up to us. Neither of us moved to act like we are really a couple.

"Hi ladies. I wanted to personally apologize about last night", her face turns red, "When he showed me his CIA badge, I had to open the door" Liz's jaw drops and I mentally curse him. "We will cover the rest of your stay because of this inconvenience"

"It's alright Miss," I reply calmly. "I'm sorry that were put into a situation like that. I was actually going to ask if we could extend our stay. It would be a week more."

She nods at me. "Yes that's fine and we will cover that. You ladies let me know if you need anything."

I thank her and silently grab my food and Liz does the same thing. We sit down and I give her a warning look. I don't want to explain my situation in front of everyone. We ate in silence and walk back to our room without saying a word.

Now I owe her an explanation.
