Forever safe with me

RAVINE'S POV

I say my prayers at the church. Aaron has been always by my side even when we were in public. He never left my hand alone, even if it was sweating profusely.

I was dealing with the wine and it's offering as a ritual when the church seemed suddenly dark and empty. Aaron looks around to see why the lights have been cut off.

"Aaron..." I call softly, terrified.

"It's okay, it's alright. I'm right here." He says, I begin to pat around and feel his hand but I fail terribly.

Once I feel his back, I hear the thunder clap out of the blue.

"Hey, hey. Shush. I'm right here." It was a bad idea to come and offer the ritual wine when it was dark as hell outside. It was only seven in the evening, yet it was pitch dark because of the unstable climate.

"Come with me. We can leave them here. Do you have the keys?" He asks as I hum softly. The keys are in my hands, for the car.

"Where are you two going?" A man's voice was heard. Aaron and I freeze in our spots.

No, not today God, please.

Suddenly, the lights are turned on.

There was no one.

It can't be that I was hallucinating on my own. There were people, a security guard and a priest who all enter as a group.

There was no one before them.

Aaron clenches his jaw and I look at him.

"It's fine. Let's go to a more crowded place. Do you want to complete your prayers?" He asks me, considering how we left the things on the ledge and yes the prayers were incomplete. However, I didn't want to go back. I wanted to go home and sleep in his arms, with all the windows closed shut.

As we go outside to enter the car, I notice the back tire has been punctured. An irritable sigh leaves Aaron's lips as he looks around frantically. He must have seen the man. I see too.

His smile was so horrific, I was surely going to have nightmares today.

He had a smile that stretched dangerously from his one ear to the other. He looked hideous, almost like an alien which went rogue.

"Aaron,press the button. Alert them for an arrest." I say, seeing both men having a stare down competition in the middle of the crowded street.

"Aaron, what the fuck. Press the button on your phone, dammit." I hiss at him but he doesn't budge. They stare at each other until John suddenly disappears behind a car that passes by. We lost his sight!

"What the fuck is—"

"He would have escaped so nice and quick before the police could even reach. Besides the police might think we are just playing with their irresponsible asses." Says Aaron wisely. That's true. This is one big cruel world where even the protectors of the society cannot be trusted for protection.

"So you're planning to settle it your way then." I come to a conclusion myself. He nods, taking the keys from me even though he can't drive legally yet. He fixes up the car with no one's help. I was seriously questioning his age now. He is only 19 yet he is more mature and manly than most men I've encountered in my entire life. I appreciate his mere presence. I'm falling deeper and deeper for this young man everyday.

He slowly goes through check posts, we came to another city for the famous church around here. Yet I was terrified when I saw his face. I was frequently looking back to see if a same car model was following us.

It turned out right.

"That indigo Toyota right there." I point in the back view mirror for Aaron to see. He hums softly and we enter a block of buildings.

Aaron does the four turn rule, to figure out if the car was following us even if we took 4 turns which made a circle. He also does a reverse to see if the car passed by him or not.

"What do we do?" I ask him in a panicked state.

"We will spend the night on the streets or in a small hotel."

"There should be a lodge nearby." I say, peeping out of the car shields. We found one and checked inside. I just hope John does not check in and make some shit too.

At midnight, I asked Aaron if he could have sex with me. He agreed, saying he needs a deviation too. The gun that we carried along with us was right under the pillow, to be used immediately.

The lights were on for the whole night.

I was moaning his name softly, my arms all over him as he kissed and snuggled in my neck.

He was helping me plenty already and not once did he refuse my requests. I hug him tightly, halting his movements to ask. We were breathing a little sportively.

"You're always so nice to me. No sane person will agree to kill a stalker who is a psychopath for their sex master. I'm curious, Aaron." I say.

"You seriously wanna know?" He asks as I nod my head vigorously.

"That's because, Ravine... I feel a sense of protection towards you. I cannot tolerate a woman from the same industry as mine suffer the inequality from society. So what if we show our bodies and have sex with random pairings to entertain the people? What's wrong in showing a little more confidence and skin to the public? They all watch it, but when it comes to the actors in real life, somehow they are sinners and bad people. I hate this indifference, Ravine. That's why I want to help you with this mess. John is dying in my hands and we already discussed everything with your lawyer."

Aaron says as I look into his eyes. Golding his face, I pull him in for a kiss while loosening my grip around his waist. He resumes drilling into me as our sweaty bodies rubbed against each other.

He was very careful with his answer, I see.

Or perhaps... I was expecting too much. He got his heart broken by his ex girlfriend very recently. And that amount of time is not sold for loving another woman immediately.

I'm such a fool...
