The Marine

Chapter 4

APRIL

This guy was creeping me out. He looked desperate and fearful at the same time. The only thought running through my head was that he was waiting for someone by the way he kept looking at the woods. I sighed placing a hand on my hip he didn't sound like a patient guy.

Blake was in the woods and I wondered if he came back to find me. What I said to him was wrong but I wouldn't go as far as saying 'I hate you' considering it was him who dragged me into all of this mess because that's what it was, one big fat juicy mess.

However, if Blake had returned he would have noticed this note that this guy kept talking about. Which meant that he was the one supposed to be meeting them here.

I but my lip trying to figure how to get away. He's an jerk but I wouldn't want him to get hurt intentionally unless it was me who was to do it because when I see him he's getting slapped across the face.

I looked to the guy in front of me and studied him for the first time. His blonde hair was a mess, muck was on his rough face and his blue eyes were icily cold. His green fleece was zipped all the way up and something filled the left pocket of it making it bulge out. His cargo trousers were black and he wore black heavy boots. He looked like he hasn't had a bath or shower in a long time and the evidence of dirt under his finger nails gave it away.

I took a deep breath and held it for thirty seconds before plucking up some encouragement. I could do this...I just had to be plain annoying me.

"So?" He snapped his head to me and I almost flinched, " Do you have a Wife and Kids?" I asked with a smile trying to make it out that I was a whacko.

"Did I ask you to speak?" He hissed showing me his horrible teeth and his bad breath.

"Well excuse me for trying to spark up some conversation." I crossed my arms like the child I am, " You know I don't even know this guy your looking for." I told him hopefully taking a small gamble.

"Sure you don't." He scoffed but I was actually being slightly truthful in my statement.

"I literally don't." I sighed, " I was happy with running away from home all by myself and then this brick wall smashes into me and stops me breathing then the next thing I know....I'm running with him. I will tell you however that he is the most annoying person I have ever met. I mean being annoying for a quick moment is one thing but he goes on and on......and I feel like he is always mentally telling me to shut up!" I groaned in frustration letting it all out. I'm actually surprises with how good I felt.

"Do you ever shut up becau-"

"Then he takes my phone and tells me about tracking signals like what the hell does that mean? He's also too precise and it really gets on my nerves when he says I'm being stubborn" I scoffed, " That should be his personal motto because-"

"Shut the hell up!" He roared making me flinch. His hold came off my wrist and I was glad not to have those dirty hands on me anymore.

"Whatever. What I really meant to say was I don't really know him." I put my lips into a thin line and he narrowed his eyes at me in complete agitation.

"Stay here and don't move." He rubbed his forehead, " I need to go to the truck and take some pills." I stifled a laugh as he walked away.

I guess this was my chance to make a run for it if I was going to get away from him. I watched as he went around the other side of his navy blue pick up truck blinding me from his sight.

I ran.

Over the barricade as vastly as possible and down the steep hill covered in leaves. I almost went straight through the fence at the bottom because of how fast I was going but I managed to quickly jump over it. I looked back to make sure I wasn't being followed by that creepy human being. He was extremely gross!

Of course he didn't have a wife and kids, who would even want a relationship with that....filthy monster! I wouldn't even take one billion in cash for that.

I squealed as I hit something hard of my nose and fell to the leaves beneath be bottom first. I new who it was because this was like our personal meet and greet but the name was changed. It's called bump and bump again.

"Ouch!" I exaggerated, " Hey brick wall nice to catch up with you." I opened my eyes and felt to see if my nose was bleeding and luckily it wasn't.

He looked nice and by nice, I mean really nice. His shower at the motel made his hair look all soft and fluffy but his eyes were still glistening. His skin looked so smooth compared to the rough skin that monster had.

He extended a hand out to me and I took it as he pulled me up from the dirty ground. I pulled my hand away when I was up not missing how warm it was.

"I'm sorry." He told me quietly skimming his eyes over my body. I blushed a little and turned my head to the side.

"What for?" I asked trying to get his intense gaze of me. I felt like squirming as I felt a much deeper blush spring to my cheeks.

"Earlier when I said those three words I didn't mean it. I was mad and I apologise sincerely and I also apologise for keeping on bumping into you." He explained with a small nod of the head. I frowned at the 'bumping into you' part because I sort of liked it.

"Your forgiven but come on the 'bump and bump again' is our personal meeting thing. Who needs a handshake huh?" I asked playfully trying to change the subject from apologies. I was over it already.

"Did he hurt you?" I completely forgot that monster of a man was proberly making his way to find me right now.

"No, he didn't." Something flashed his eyes. Relief? I wasn't really sure, " We need to go you see I ran away and he is proberly looking for us right now as we speak. So let go." I grabbed his well muscled arm feeling shivers down my spine and began dragging him with me. I let go when he started to walk fast beside me.

"We need to run...like super fast." He rushed and I frowned I couldn't run that fast because my ribs.

"I can't my ribs are still sore." He stopped with a frown making me stop with him.

I watched closely as he crouched down in front of me. What the hell was he doing? If he did press ups right now, I would die.

"Hop on." He wanted to give me a carry back. I was a little pissed he wasn't doing those press ups though.

"Sure." I hopped on and he didn't even move a muscle, instead he stood up to his tall height and put both his arms under my thighs giving me silent moments of pleasure. It felt really good.

"Did you just give a small moan there or was it just me?" I stilled. s**t. Did I moan?

"It was just you because I groaned..painful ribs you know?" I tried to convince but he shook his head with a giggle and broke out into a run.

"It's ok." He laughed, " I know when I touch you, you get all hot and bothered." I slapped his back with a scoff.

Jerk.

"You know what you could be right but what if I'm thinking about my boyfriend?" He stiffened in his run and not only did he get faster he tightened his arms around my thighs.

"You have a boyfriend?" He asked dryly. Why can't he tell I was only having a joke with him?

"I'm only having a laugh Marine boy." His figure relaxed a little and his grip on my thighs subsided. My legs didn't feel numb from tingles no more.

"Sure. You know when I think about my beautiful girlfriend at home, I want to moan too." I bit my lip feeling jealous and made mocking faces behind his head. It saddened me.

"How long do we have left of travelling?" I asked getting bored of just looking at trees, leaves, dirt and him.

"About one hour." He declared as he continued to run in and out of trees.

"Awesome. I can't wait to get home." I pictured my self in a hot shower with a nice cup of hot chocolate...yummy!

"Where do you live?" He asked suddenly and I tried to think of a simple answer to give him.

"Um..you know where we 'bumped and bumped again' the first time?" He was silent for a moment and then burst out laughing. Why was he laughing?

"Yeah." I slapped his back playfully and he stopped laughing but I could still feel it vibrating through him.

"Those houses there number 107." He tightened his grip on me again and shivers went down my spine. I was suddenly finding it hard to breath feeling his hands on me and his tensing muscles beneath.

I feel like I have died and gone to heaven.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Your welcome." I pulled my arms back from his shoulders and curled them around his chest feeling him tense. I felt so good and I could hear his heartbeat when I put my cheek against his back. I was surprised with how comfortable it was.

"Comfortable?" He asked with a playful tone as he kept running it what ever direction we were meant to be heading in.

"Yes. Now let me sleep...I am extremely tired." I sighed contently and tightened my hold around him.

The last thought through my head before I drifted into a peaceful sleep was how sweet he was for slowing to a job instead of a sprint. Maybe he was a real gentleman after all.
