Chapter 8: A Kiss

your pov-

I moved in with Al after that traumatic night. I became scared of being alone. About a month passed since that night. Al helped me whenever I woke up crying and screaming from nightmares in the middle of the night. He calmed me down and made me feel safe.
      I ended up explaining what happened the night at the bar since he asked why I had such revealing clothes on. He seemed hurt I never told him but he understood why.

"Darling, I want you to quit working for that man. He shouldn't threaten you into doing such repulsive things when you aren't comfortable with it. You can live with me. I'll keep you safe and make sure you have everything you need. If you would like, I can help you get another job in dancing."

      I remember Al saying that to me around a month ago. I now danced at the bar Husk and Mimzy worked at. Al came and made sure to watch every show I had. The creepy man stopped showing up which relieve both Al and I. After that night Al wanted to go to the police with me but they said they didn't have any detectives named Jason.
      Al spent everyday making sure I was okay. I helped cook him food as he made sure we both had enough money. Al become more protective around me since that night. He was too frightened to let me go places by myself fearing the worst. We both started falling deeply in love with each other.
      I was getting ready to go to work as Al came home.

"(Y/N), dear I need to speak with you."

"Yes?" I asked while walking down stairs.

"I hate to ask but could you skip going to your performance tonight? I have to work late so I won't be able to make it.

"Al, I can't just skip my performances. Besides, I'll be fine by myself. You can go to work."

Al walked up to me and placed both of his hands on the sides of my face. "I can't let you go alone dear...I won't be there to make sure you would be okay..."

"Al, you don't need to always make sure I'm okay! I'm perfectly able to take care of myself!" I said getting mad while pushing Al's hands away from me.

"I understand you can take care of yourself but I just want to make sure!" Al said also getting annoyed.

"Why can't you just let me go do things by myself! You don't have to be there with me every second!"

"I would love for you to be able to do things without my constant need to be there. However, if something were to happen to you again I would never forgive myself!"

I stopped right when he said that. "Why do you care so much?!"

"Because (Y/N), I love you and I can't stand seeing you hurt or in danger!"

My eyes widened when I heard him say those words. "Y-you love me?"

"Yes dear," Al responded while walking back to me. He lifted up my chin forcing me to look up at him. "I can't bare the thought of losing you."

Right after he said that I went on the tips of my toes as I grabbed him by his collar. My lips collided with his. He seemed shocked at first but gave in. His arms wrapped around my waist and he pulled me closer to him. My hands tangled into his hair as my arms wrapped around his neck. He picked me up as my legs went around his waist. He set me down on his countertop as he pulled me closer.
      I kissed him passionately as I tried deepening the kiss. He refused but I bit his bottom lip as he grunted. I took the chance to slip my tongue into his mouth. Our tongues fought for dominance. Al won as he pulled back. We both were breathing heavily and gasping for air. A string of our saliva connecting from our lips.

"I love you too Al."

Al started kissing my jawline as he then moved to my neck. I moaned as he did so. He went down to my shoulder as he lightly bit down on it. I titled my head giving into the pleasure. Al looked up at me as he licked his lips. He kissed me back deeply as I gasped. He smiled into the kiss as I tugged on his tie. I undid his tie as it came off. I was about to remove his shirt but he stopped me.

"What's wrong?"

"I- are you okay with this?"

"I'm okay with it Al. Are you okay with it though?"

"I mean I'm not one who really likes the thought of sexual intimacy but I will be willing to try it if it pleases you."

"I placed my hand on the side of his face. "Al, if you aren't truly comfortable with it, I won't push it. Okay."

Al frowned but nodded his head. He kissed me on my forehead as he helped me off the counter. I fixed my dress as Al straightened out himself. Al agreed to let me go to the bar but I would have to wait until he came and picked me up. I agreed as Al dropped me off. I kissed him bye as he smirked.

"Besides, no one should get any ideas since I marked you."

I blushed as Al chuckled. I leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Don't miss me too much," in a seductive tone.

Now was my time to chuckle as Al's face turned a deep red. He told me bye as he drove off. I entered the bar as loud music filled the room. Husk greeted me but didn't bother to look up since he was cleaning a glass. I told him hi back as I sat down at the bar.

"So you and Alastor are a thing now?"

"What makes you say that?" I asked curious.

"Take a look for yourself," he passed me a small mirror as I saw the mark Al left on the crook of my neck.

"How did you notice? You have been looking down, focusing on cleaning that glass the whole time."

"I saw it from the reflection of the glass," Husk said while smirking. He looked up at me, "Now it's your turn to answer my question." He places the glass down as he leaned on the counter with his elbows. "Are you two a thing now?"

"I'm not sure, I guess I'll have to ask him later tonight."
