He was about to run out of food, and he was worried sick. He never should've accepted to run the new software for Daniel's computer. He never should've took upon him to run to the store to get it changed. When he came back, the car was gone, their clothes, bags, stuff, everything. He ran out of the house by the back door, jumped a couple of fences, just not to be on the street, in case they were there.
Crazy things were going through his head, like if they were gone for good? Without him? Were they killed, or wounded, or taken hostages somewhere? Did Elizabeth thought, since Jeremy was with them, that he was ignoring her? Like everyone in her family and life at some point? What if she decided that enough was enough, and that she decided to leave him here?
"-Stop that Spencer, Elizabeth loves you, she won't abandon you here, in the middle of a town you don't know, with men who want to kill you!"
But what if she did? What if she decided he could take care of himself and that it was too dangerous to come back for him? How would he know? He was nearly out of food, and frozen to death. It had been raining, and the roof was leaking, getting him wet at night. He would be sick in no time, then how would he take care of himself?
The sun came down on him again, and Lucky was ready to spend another night in the abandoned store, freezing and wet, when he heard a car. He looked from the little hole in the wall, and he saw Elizabeth, with a really long black coat, running for the hole.
"-Lucky? You in there? She asked
-About time you guys showed up! He saidd, getting out
-Hurry, they are still here"
Lucky took Elizabeth's hand and ran to the car. Jeremy was sitting in the back seat. The boy weakly smiled when he saw Lucky. Lucky knew it was because Jeremy was afraid. Elizabeth took the Metropolitain highway, and they made their way east, to take the 20 south. Their next stop was a little town near florida, before going down again to Mexico. Lucky still didn't know how Helena's men found them so fast. She was more resourceful then he thought. It was a challenge, and he normally would have liked it, except the challenge was putting Elizabeth and Jeremy in danger, and that he didn't like. Didn't like it at all.
"-Jeremy? You OK Cowboy? Asked Lucky
-Yeah, I'll be ok
-So are you the hero that saw them?
-No, Mom did, and she came to get me at Jonathan's house. We wanted to wait for you, but mom said maybe it wasn't safe. So we waited, but every time we wanted to go and get you, they were there. I was scared dad, scared they would get to you before we did.
-Oh baby, he said, I know how to take caare of myself, you don't have to worry about me. -I know but I still do. You and mom are the only family I have. I don't want to lose you
-And you will never lose us Jeremy, saidd Elizabeth, you are stuck with us, just like we are stuck with you."
Jeremy laughed and lucky saw in his eyes the sparkle he liked so much. Elizabeth was always asking Lucky if he was sure he didn't have a kid 7 years ago that he forgot to mention, so much Jeremy was looking like him.
They stopped at a motel on the side of the road, and Lucky, once again, had to use another one of his identities. They were wearing out faster than he thought!
"-Hi, my wife and I were wondering if you had a double room left. Asked Lucky
-I don't have double rooms, sorry.
-Oh, well that's still ok, we'll take twwo rooms, and I'll stay with Jeremy.
-Our policy is to pay before, sorry
-No problem. You accept credit cards riight?
-Yes
-Here, you go. I'm Ricky Ferris.
-Ok, Mister Ferris, room 301, and 302"
"-Dad?
-You're out already?
-Yeah, I'm tired. You don't have to babbysit me, I'll be fine, go sleep with mom.
-You sure? I can stay here, I won't diee for one night you know
-Oh I know, but she missed you last nighht, she cried, she doesn't know I know, so don't tell her I told you Okay?
-Your secret is safe with me. Lucky kisssed the boy. Want me to leave the light open on my way out?
-Please.
-Okay, come and lock your door, don't oppen for no one except me capish?
-Not even mom?
-Go to bed smarty pants
-I love you dad. I'm glad you're OK
-I love you too Cowboy"
Lucky used his key to get in the room, and Elizabeth was brushing her hair.
"-You startled me! She said
-Oh I'm sorry. Jeremy kicked me out. HHe says I snore
-You do! Replied Elizabeth, laughing >
-I do not!
-Do too
-Come here woman"
Lucky kissed her gently. He missed her too last night, his body was cold without hers next to him. They had been on the run for nearly 3 months, sleeping in the same bed for over 2 months and yet, nothing happened. But just the fact that she wasn't there next to him was killing him, making him ache for her. She was responding to his kisses with the same need, the same miss, the same passion.
"-Oh I missed you so much, Lucky said, exploring her neck with his mouth,
-I missed you too, you have no idea how much"
Elizabeth was going crazy, with his hot breath on her neck, near her ear, his hot kisses inflaming her all over. She was feeling the pressure of Lucky's hands on her back, and she was dying for his touch. She wanted to make love to him, yesterday made her realize she could lose him anytime, but she didn't know what to do, what to say, what not to say!
Suddenly, Lucky backed out of the kiss and looked at her, embarrassed.
"-Maybe we should get to bed, we have a long way to go tomorrow, he said
He kissed her one last time, and got into bed. She was probably mad at him for backing out so fast, but he was going nuts. He wanted her so bad, so much, it was harder than ever before, and he didn't want to scare her. If he continued kissing her, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to stop. No, that wasn't really it, not that he wouldn't be able to, he knew he would be, but why torture himself with something that wouldn't be? Not now anyway?
Elizabeth went to the bed and got under the covers. She wanted him and he wanted her too. Maybe it was time for her to get over her rape, after all, she told him a long time ago that she was, and maybe it was time to show him she was ready to love him, and to have him love her.
Lucky got under the cover next to her, and kissed her good night, giving her his shoulder, like he did every night, but she didn't take it. She got closer to him, put her hand on his torso, and kissed him gently, languorously, passionately. Lucky felt lighting going through his body and, for the second time, he backed out. He couldn't take it anymore, and he was now physically needing her.
"-Lucky...
-What my love?
-I want to kiss you, why are you turningg away?
-It's time for bed.
-We said no lies, and we are before bed,, so start talking
-Elizabeth, I'm tired really, It's not tthat I don't want to kiss you
-If you say so"
Elizabeth turned around, giving her back to him. Lucky was perplexed. What did he do wrong? Why was she mad? He put his arms around her waist, putting his face over her shoulders.
"-Can you tell me why you are mad at me? He asked
-You lied.
-No I didn't. All right I did. But whaat was I suppose to say? Elizabeth you are driving me crazy with desire, I want to make love you to you so bad?
-Well, you could've, she said, turning aaround
-What good would it do? Except to scaree you?
-Do I look scared? That was all I wanteed you to say"
She turned around again, and kissed him, like she never did before, getting him closer to her, her waist leaning on his. She could feel his desire, through his pants and her boxers and that made her want him more. She was kissing his jaw line, his neck, his Adam's apple, his shoulders, his chest, and she heard him hold his breath.
"-I have no idea what to do next, she said with a little laugh
-Well, he said, releasing the breath he was holding, you wanted to do this, I'm not helping you, he replied with a devilish grin
-You'll regret this! She said, laughingg
-Oh I sincerely doubt it"
