“We love you and we want you safe. You need to stay away from him? This needs to be believable or this won’t work?” I nodded at him as he took my hands in his softly. “You can still come around with us and come to Alfie’s Chlo will be with you too and so will I?” His grip tightened in my hands and my stomach twisted as my eyes started to fill up. I didn't want to do this anymore, I didn't want to keep hiding.
“Why is nothing straight forward?” My eyes were starting to fill with water and I watched as he shrugged in response to my question.
“Nothing ever is with us.” He laughed a little before he seemed to shake it off. They were both so young and had so much going for them and I couldn't understand why they got involved with a man like Rava in the first place.
"I've gotta go back to Alfies tonight I have works stuff there that I can't go in the office without." I began to speak and watched as he nodded.
"Just be careful?" I nodded and watched him release my hands. He hugged me softly and I did my best to hold in tears.
I ran home that afternoon and I was now sat in a steaming hot bath sobbing. I’d had enough. I was sick of hiding and running away from something I had no idea about. I didn’t know how bad bad actually was. I frowned at the thought and closed my eyes for a split second. Since we’d arrived back from holiday things had taken a proper shit turn for the worst. When was enough going to be enough? Would this be my life for the rest of it if we were to be together?
A warm feeling lingered against my cheek as I prized open my eyes. He was crouched down next to the bath. I must have fallen asleep. His eyes smiled before it hit his mouth. I placed my hand against his cheek and ran my fingers over his heart shaped lips that were still slightly tender looking.
“You looked so peaceful asleep in there.” His voice was husky, almost though he was coming down with something and I frowned.
“I’ve had a shit day.” I smiled softly at him, his gooey eyes examined me carefully and I sighed. “Are you not feeling well?” I questioned and watched him shrug.
“I’ve got a sore throat but I’ll be okay.” I nodded and stood from the now slightly luke warm water. He handed me a fluffy towel and wrapped me up in it and I smiled at him. He ran his lips over my cheek and down my neck and I instantly melted. I dropped my arms from holding my towel in place as I moved my hands to wrap them around his neck. It pooled around my feet and I watched him hold back a smirk. “We’re supposed to be on a break?” He questioned, the rasp in his voice made it even sexier and I felt my nipples harden. I swallowed hard and shook my head.
“Then don’t.” His lips trailed mine as he pressed me into him.
“Well he’s not gonna see us in here is he?” His words were whispers and I gulped. My fingers ran over his suit jacket and I opened my eyes to look at him. The look he gave me was smouldering and I shook my head softly.
“It’s killing me this is.” I admitted and watched him glance away from my eyes.
“Then run with me Av?” Then sadness possessed his eyes again and it hit me where it hurt. I bit my lip and shook my head as I leant to pick up my towel. I watched him pull his blazer off and start to unbutton his shirt. My eyes darted towards his before they wandered any further. “Why? What’s keeping you here?” I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream that this life on the run wasn’t a life I wanted for good. I wanted a nice home, full of our kids and a massive wedding with all our friends there. I didn’t want to sneak around and keep our relationship quiet over some drug dealing prick. But I couldn’t. Words didn’t leave my mouth. I simply turned on my heel to leave the bathroom. I wasn’t up for this argument again. I’d cried enough tonight. He chased after me and I shook my head as he blocked my entrance to his walk in where most of my clothes had ended up. He frowned deeply at me as I looked up at him.
“I’m too tired to argue with you Haz. I can’t argue with you over this.” I squeezed past him and placed on my nightwear over the top of my head. I watched
