Falling For The Enemy

Chapter 13 (Rescue me)

Without a moment of hesitation I fell outside and took a breath of fresh air. It was dusk as the sun was slowly setting across the horizon and the light breeze swayed through my hair caressing my cheeks as a slightly shivered under the sudden coolness. Alex was already stalking up the hill in front of us while I trailed behind my eyes fixed on his flexing muscles. Even through his sexy leather jacket his undeniable rock hard ripped abs couldn't be hidden especially when they were covered by a simple white v-neck t-shirt. His ripped jeans completed the outfit perfectly as all I wanted to do right now was run my hand through his jelled luscious hair. NO! Ani man what are you thinking!?

'So where are we going?' I asked jogging to catch up with him.

'Narnia.'

'Haha very funny, I guess we're gona visit the ice queen huh?' I backfired his sarcasm. He stopped walking abruptly making me walk into his well toned back. I rubbed my nose from the hurtful contact, stumbling backwards.

'No we really are don't you believe me?' he asked seriously his face contorted with hurt. My heart was telling me to believe him, but seriously Narnia? Was he talking about the name of the place we were going or did he seriously believe in Narnia!

'What...' I whispered confused my face contorted in thought. Suddenly an erruption of deep, husky laughter erroded my thoughts and I looked to see him rolling on the floor in giggles while clutching his chest in the other due to his wheezing.

'Oh my gosh you did not just...' I bellowed, my face a deep shade of scrlet as I glared at him in pure fury.

'Oh my...your such a...a...complete nob!' I exclaimed kicking him in the stomach then walking of to god knows where without giving him a second glance. In the distance I could hear him calling out my name but I simply ignored it and continued stomping off. After a little sigh I looked up and realised I was in the middle of a forest.

'Alex....' I called out spinning wildly around to see if he was close by.

'Alex please this isn't funny just come out now!' I tried to scream but it came out as a feeble plea. The sun had set and the moon ignited the forest leaves in an eerie silver colour. I took a step backwards and jumped at the sound of a twig snapping underneath my feet. 

'Alexx!' I screeched, wrapping my arms around myself for protection against the bitter wind. My vision became blurry as my eyes fogged up from tears of fear. I crouched down my legs giving up and curled into a tight ball rocking back and forth.

'Alex...' I whispered closing my eyes and sobbing silently. This was the end! I never should have left him and walked away like in idiot. Now I was going to die and no one was going to save me. I hated  the woods, the dark and this was like a nightmare turning to reality! Please Alex where are you? Suddenly I felt to strong arms wrap around me and I was lifted up from the cold ground. I didn't feel like saying anything so just burried my head deeper into his comfy chest. 

'Hey we're here...' he whispered softly in my ear then skillfully balanced me in one arm and swooped the keys out with the other. After jingling them a couple of times to find the right one he exerted the door open and carried me inside. I held onto his jacket as he lowered me onto a bed. The smell of his spice cologne comforted me for some reason and instantly made me feel safe. Our cheeks were touching as we stayed in that position for a while, with him bent over me and me lying down holding onto him, our cheeks touching from the closeness. I let go eventually and opened my eyes to meet his deep blueish, olive green ones. He pulled backwards and sat down on the edge of the bed his eyes travelling downwards to gaze at the sheets.

'I'm sorry...' I heard faintly as he fiddled with the blankets. My eyes widened at the realisation that he had actually hurt his man ego and bothered to apologise.

'Wha...what?' I stuttered slowly sitting up so we were inches apart then moving backwards to create some space between us.

'I said..I'm sorry....' he trailed of still avoiding my gaze. All my worries immediately vanished and a huge grin lit up my face.

'Sorry I didn't hear you what?' I pressed on, instigating him. This was fun! 

''I said I'm sorry!' he exclaimed looking into my eyes. His lips formed into a tight line as he saw my smug face and was replaced by anger.

'Was this all a joke?' he asked angrily.

'No, what? What are you talking about of course not! I should be asking you that! Your the one who thought it would be funny to let me get lost all alone in a forest in the dark and let me get scared to death or maybe even die!' I ranted on tears pricking my thoughts as the fear threatened to come back but I pushed the memories aside.

'No it wasn't like that! By the time I ran after you, you had disappeared and I had no idea where to look! The only reason I found you was because I heard a faint sniffling! Do you know how worried I was? If I lost you today I would...I don't know what-' I cut him of by pressing my lips onto his. I don't know what came over me but I couldn't stop myself. First he seemed surprised then deepened the kiss by pulling me into him. I ran my fingers through his hair while he ran his fingers along my back.   The kiss turned into a french one and I explored his mouth while he did the same with mine I wanted it to last forever but then I felt a pang of guilt and reality hit me, so I pulled back breaking the kiss abruptly. His face turned dark and he got up without saying a word. I opened my mouth to speak but got interrupted by him.

'Don't.' he whispered in a dark voice and briskly stormed out of the room. I was speechless. How could I have been such an idiot! Stupid Ani always messing things up! With a sigh and heavy heart I lay down in bed and looked up at ceiling feeling myself give in to the darkness....
