I see you

• 1 week later •
Ally's POV
It's been one week and it's 11:20. I climbed out my window and ran to my favorite tree. It's only 11:30 now. I curled up against it and closed my eyes.

I want to see his face. I can't wait. I heard breathing and I opened my eyes. A guy dressed in all black. His face covered. Was holding a yellow envelope. His face was covered by the really baggy black hood.

Guy- babygirl, I Said midnight
He said huskily

I got up and carefully approached him.

Me- I couldn't wait.
I whispered

He walked towards me. He was an inch away from me. He brought his hand up to my face and caressed my cheek. I leaned into his touch.

I know you all think it's weird, but this mystery guy makes me feel safe. He slowly leaned in and I found myself doing the same.

Then his warm lips were against mine. I kissed back. He placed his hands on my hips while I wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled me closer to him. He brushed his tongue across my bottom lip causing me to let out a faint moan.

He slipped his tongue inside my mouth and let it explore every inch. Then we pulled away breathless. I still didn't see his face.

Guy- we still have to finish the game.

I did a pouty face and he brushed his thumb across my bottom lip which was poking out. He let out a deep chuckle.

Guy- I know babygirl...I didn't expect you to fall for me this soon.

Me- well I did
I said softly

Slightly embarrassed. His hand was still caressing my cheek.

Guy- there four more envelopes after this one.

Me- four weeks.

Guy- maybe sooner. How do you want to do this baby.
He said huskily

I have I thing for when guys talk huskily. Well the guy that I like. And yes I like mystery guy.

Me- it's your game. It's only fair to play by your rules.

Guy- then it looks like you have to wait every week.

Me- can I still see you. When you come to drop the envelope off.
I asked quietly

I looked down embarrassed. I felt his fingers dance along my skin to under my chin and he made me look up.

Guy- yes. Yes you can babygirl. Just come around the same time you did. Okay. I'll leave a note the night before I come baby. Alright
He said softly

I nodded. Not wanting him to leave. He's already got me all wrapped around his finger. He leaned in and placed his lips on mine. I kissed back and then he pulled away. He kissed my forehead and left. I held the envelope to my body for a moment until I decided it was time to head back.

I walked back to the gang house. Every light on. Uh oh. They found out. I climbed up on my balcony and hid the envelope on my closet and walked out onto my balcony and climbing onto my room with the ladder I kept there.

Soon I saw a figure beside me. Well standing. I look up and over. It was ace.

Ace- is this where you've been this whole time
He shouted

I flinched. I saw the mystery guys outline in the tree line. Ace has trees planted throughout the property so it hides the house. So basically woods. We live in Georgia.

Me- yes. I'm sorry.

Ace- don't do that shit again. At least leave a note
He yelled

Sadie and Cole were up on the roof now. I sat up and pulled my knees to my chest.

Flashback
I skipped happily into the house. My six year old self proud I had finally accomplished my goal.

I built a mini treehouse. I'm the ground though. I had some mud on me from falling but otherwise I'm good. I want to use it for my photography.

I walked into the living room where my mom and dad were sitting. In a tense atmosphere. Awkward silence.

Me- mommy. Guess what.

Both of my parents heads snapped to me. My fathers face etched into a scowl while my mother's is into the angelic smile.

Mom- what did you do baby.
She said happily

Me- I used sticks and some of the extra wood we had in the shed and built a mini treehouse on the ground. For my photoshop.

I was young. So I called it photo shop. My fathers face softened and a smile was etched on his face for a split second before returning to its scowl.

Mom- that's so cool honey. Your going to have to show me later

Me- I will.

I was about to walk out when my fathers voice stopped me.

Dad- Lexis don't you ever do that shit again.
End of flashback

I continued to look at the ground. Cole and Ace were standing in front of me. I could tell by there shoes. Sadie was beside me rubbing my back soothingly. I didn't realize I was crying. I got up and quickly got off the roof.

I then climbed off the balcony ignoring my brothers demanding calls and ran into the woods. Fast. One other thing I liked to do was run. My mom and me were the only ones who knew about my photo shop. I still call it that. It doesn't look to bad either. I fixed it up over the years.

I walked in. Fairy lights strung everywhere. I laid down on the smooth floor and stared up at the ceiling. I heard footsteps and looked up. It was mystery guy. He sat down beside me.

Guy- baby...are you alright.

I laid my head on his leg.

Me- yeah.
I whispered

He looked down at me. I still couldn't see his face. Oh...I bet it's cute.

Me- alright. Fine. I'm not. What he said just brought back a memoir.

He chuckled. Because I said memoir. I smiled

Guy- sorry. You speak Latin.

I nodded.

Guy- I speak Latin and Italian too.

I smiled

Me- I speak Italian, Latin, French, German, Russian, Hawaiian, Spanish, and Chinese.

Guy- I see. Show off

I laughed.

Me- I have to. My brother only knows the American language and we make deals around the world

Guy- I know babe. You should probably head home before they send the search dogs out after you.

Me- I probably should

I sat up and then stood up. I held my hand out for him. He took it and I pulled him up. He pulled me into his chest and kissed my lips again. Then he left. Always happens. I ran back home and through the front door this time.

Cole- you need-

Me- shut the fuck up Cole
I hissed

He went wide eyed.

Sadie- Ally. Just because-

Me- all of you just kept your fucking mouths shut. I'm done with it. I'm done being treated like I'm a baby. I ain't a baby. I actually had the guts to kill my own father at the age of ten
I hissed

Sadie, Cole, and Ace were all wide eyed. I turned on my heel and walked to my room. I slammed the door shut and locked it. I went to the new envelope. Ok the front it said

Babygirl
