Can't Find My Way

Chapter 2: Conceal (Arthur)

We are on our journey to a new life; a new town, new friends and, new neighbors. As if I remember anything from my past, although I do and for some reasons all I can't remember was Micah. I remember she told me that she's my best friend but then why can't I remember anything about her? Although I believe her, I don't even know why but I kind of do maybe because even though my mind can't remember her; my heart does. I was surprised by her plan when she told me she wants to run away with me, not because we're going to marry but because she doesn't want to marry a stranger, she told me that her mother arranged her into a marriage without even consulting her. To be honest, when she told me about it I felt my heart stopped for a minute or two, I don't know actually why but she must be someone special to me. I even agreed to her plans without thinking, you could say that I'm a bit impulsive but that's how comfortable my heart is to her. I probably consider her as my little sister back then because I felt like being overprotective of her.

"Hey, Arthur! Can you help me with this," said Micah as she was standing in the middle of the living room, in front of the sofa while staring at it.

I stopped preparing for our dinner and came over to her.

"Can you please move that sofa there?" she said then when I was about to move it she continued "or maybe there" then I moved it to where she is pointing and glanced at her. Her face says that she's not satisfied and so I decided to move it to where I want the sofa to be.

"There! Perfect! You really have good taste!"

I just smiled and asked her if there's anything she wants me to help with. Oh yeah, we already found ourselves a house that we could call home; it's near the shore so the air here is really amazing, our house is just enough for the two of us, two rooms, one bathroom, a living room, a kitchen, a dining area, and a lovely view. Micah already found a job, a good-paying one because in just three months our house is already filled with furniture, I mean that she already bought kinds of stuff that we need. As for me well, she doesn't want me to get really tired due to my condition as she said it 'you are not allowed to work for now because you're still not in a good condition and so I followed. But I keep myself busy, I paint all those paintings hanging on the wall. I even go out sometimes for a walk and do some groceries, at first she refused at letting me but she can't cook so eventually she just gave me the job.

"Nothing in particular as of now, you can just go back to preparing our dinner" and so I came back where I left off.

Luckily she didn't call me again for the help so I finished preparing our dinner and went to her.

"Micah, our dinner is ready," I said as I tapped her shoulders.

"Are you happy, being with me and all?" I was stunned and just stared at her face.

Then she continues "Because you know what, I'm glad that we're here, together. I know that this was a selfish request of mine to run away and live here but if there's anyone else I can ask for anything this massive, it will only be you" she said while staring at my paintings.

"Honestly speaking, I never been this happy so don't fill your head with thoughts that I'm not because I do" Her face turned red, and looked straight into my eyes bashfully. I felt that my heart skipped a beat as she looks at me and feels a little bit awkward so I just smiled at her and she suddenly jumps over me and hugged me so tight that I can't even breathe.

"I... I... Can't~breathe" but she just continued.

I can feel her heart beating so fast, even her warmth is consuming me if this continues I won't be able to control myself and might do something that would ruin our friendship.

And then she kissed me.

Shit! I can't hold myself any longer, her smell contaminated my head, I can't think of anything and so I let my instincts take over. I grab her closer to me; I kissed her back and pin her down to the sofa, she grab my hair kissed me more passionately, I took off my shirt and exposed my body, her hands slides on my body that gives me shivers in a good way, she started moving, she kissed my neck, my chest until she reached my n*****s, I tried to get a grip of myself but I'm losing it, I grab her head and moaned a little, my hands started to move as it intensifies, I slid my hands into her shirt , into her bra, I touched her hot, soft breast, I fondled and played her n*****s with my fingers, I feel hot like never been before and before I knew it, I removed her clothes leaving only her panties, I kissed her lips passionately before I moved on to her n*****s, I played with it using my tongue and sucked it like a baby, she moaned so hard that rises my libido even more, my hands started moving again but this time I slid it inside her panties, I can feel that its wet already, my finger started flicking her c******s, she grabbed me, pushing me more closer to her body.

It felt like the time stopped for us; I can't see or feel anything but her, and then she slid her hands into my pants and grab my p***s, she played with it using her fingers and stroking it so gently that made me crazy, she started removing my pants slowly and then she put my p***s into her mouth, it felt so hot and wet, she started moving her hands and her head, I can't help myself but move my hips as she strokes it, I grabbed her head and thrust it into her more even deeper as she finishes what she's doing, I pulled her up and pin her down to the sofa and licked her neck, her lips until I reached her c**t, I licked it like It's ice cream, she moaned again and this time it causes a great shocked into my body, I pulled her closer and thrust my p***s into her v****a and before I knew it we were making different positions and keep it going, and when I feel like I'm cumming I pulled it out.

We have done it for goodness sake but what will happen next? I never thought that it will come to this, I feel sorry for what I've done; I feel so nasty.

After that, everything felt so awkward, we ate our dinner silently, nobody tried to speak or open up a topic.

We went back to our daily routines without speaking, she went into the bathroom and took a shower before sleeping, I also did the same and can't help myself to remember everything that happened, it's still vivid in my head; the taste, the smell, the raging emotions I felt, I can't help but to feel extremely pervy.

I cover my face with my pillow and tried to shrug it off my head, I want to sleep and pretend that nothing happened but that would make everything more messed up, I should take responsibility because I'm the guy here. Micah's probably more embarrassed than I am, and so I gathered all my strength and confidence.

I went to her room.

As I walk to her room I felt my heart beat faster than ever, it's more like banging my ribs, I can even hear it beating. As I enter her room, I saw her sleeping so calmly. I came over to her side and kiss her temple.

"Goodnight, I Love You..."

I went back to my room and tried getting some sleep.

"Who are you?" I said as I see a woman standing right in front of me.

"I'm a friend," said the lady very calmly.

"Do I know you?"

"More than you think," said the women and started going away.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm just making sure that you're fine here at the hospital, that's all... Bye" said the lady while wearing a devious smile and finally leaves then Micah appeared behind my back.

And then I woke up.

"What's with that dream?" I said as I woke up from my slumber, did it meant something? And yeah, if you come to think of it; I can't remember some of my past maybe she's someone I know but why check me in the middle of the night and then left, she didn't even leave her name or anything. If only Micah was a minute earlier, she could tell me who she was.

"Wait, what time is it?" Oh! It's already time for me to cook breakfast especially now that Micah and I made our relationship far more special.

I rushed on getting up and worked on our breakfast before Micah get up for work.

"Hmmm, smells good! What's cooking?" said Micah as she opens her door, I'm glad that the awkward moment yesterday was put into the past already.

"Bacon and Eggs, our favorite" our eyes met and then I smiled, her face turns red, and look away immediately. I guess she's still embarrassed at what happened yesterday and she's just trying to forget about it and act normal.

We ate our breakfast like normal but this time I was smiling at her every time I caught her looking at me, if only I could tell what she's thinking.

"Oh, Arthur I might be late later because I will be running some errands."

"Okay, I'll be here waiting."

She grabs her things and started to prepare to leave, I helped her out and when she's done and already about to leave, I came closer to her and bid her a goodbye kiss. I don't know where it came from but my body just kind of acted by itself.

Now, what am I going to do? Hmmm... maybe I'll prepare some kind of a surprise for Micah! I know that she'll love it! But the question is what kind of surprise am I going to prepare???

And so I decided to go out for a walk and maybe from there I can think of something good, this is gonna be exciting!

I've been walking already for hours, I saw the beautiful sea as it reached the shore and leaves a beautiful white foam behind; the sky is blue~er than ever if that's a word, happy people pass by with smiles on their faces, the wind blows with a gentle breeze. I never thought that a day could be so perfect like this! I went to the park to observe people as they hang out and have fun with a lover or friend. I never thought that surprising someone could be this hard!

I decided to rest for a while and sat on one of the park's stone seats, my head started to hurt; I see different scenarios in my head, it flashes like I'm experiencing REM (Rapid Eye Movement). I saw Micah sitting right next to me, laughing at me but the park looks strange and all because this is not what it supposed to look like, this is more like the park of my old town and Micah's not with me, then another flash of vision comes next, this time I saw a black horse with red eyes looking on my way then it spread its black wings and left, then another flash of vision occurred, this time I'm in my old room, in my old town alone then it all went black and all I can hear was a loud deafening sound then the visions stopped.

As soon as I get a grip on reality I decided to go home while wondering what was that, I can't understand a thing about it and then I remember that I want to surprise Micah and so I decided to just shrug off what happened earlier and this time instead of going to the park to think, I have decided to just cook her a special dinner and have a date with candle lights and good music.

I rushed to the supermarket to buy things that I will be needing and a flower to give to her.

As I felt happy with everything that I bought, I went home with a big smile on my face. I don't even know that people do really sing when they are so happy because I was humming on my way home.

As I reached our home, I saw our door open, it was forcefully opened. I ran and immediately went inside and saw everything was ruined; I dropped my groceries from shock, the sofa was moved, the paintings were on the floor, the cabinets were open, the windows are wrecked, in other words, the house was messed.

Then I saw somebody familiar inside the house it's Micah, she's crying on her knees.

"Micah, what happened here???"

She looked at me and then hit me "You're an i***t! You made me so worried! I thought you're a goner! Where have you been?!"

"I went outside to prepare a surprise for you but instead you surprised me, what happened?"

"I saw James walking around town asking for our address, luckily he didn't saw me and I come running home so we could leave immediately but when I came back here this is what I saw, everything was messed up and I can't find you!!!" she said then continued crying.

"I'm sorry if I made you worry..." and then she hugged me.

"Don't you ever make me so worried again! I thought I'm going to get crazy!"

I don't know but her words made me so happy that I smiled at her and then I hugged her, even more, tighter, I guess we have to start all over again and move to another town because this town is already getting a little bit smaller for us.

"Arthur, I think we should go back instead of running away again like this."

I was shocked to hear her said those words but I bet she mustered all of her courage just to say that and convinced herself to go back to our hometown, I can even see it in her eyes, she is so determined to fix everything we left behind.

"Yeah, I believed that is for the best! We should start facing up our problems."

We packed our things that were left from the disaster, I wonder who did this, I bet this could be James' doing because I can't think of anyone that could do this to our home.

As we are ready to leave, I can't help but to feel sad about leaving such a peaceful town that once I called home, we had such great memories in there together, everything felt so nostalgic now.

When we finally reached our old town, I can't help but feel nervous.

I can see that nothing has really changed to this town, not until Micah saw something disturbing.

"Arthur look!"

"What? Is there something wrong with that poster?"

"No, it has a picture of me and says that I'm gone missing!"

"What?! Well, we did runaway..." I told to her but I can tell that she didn't like what I've said.

So I decided to look at it closely, it says that Micah was kidn*pped by a young boy named...

"What the Hell!!!" I can't help to spit it out loud, it says that I kidn*pped Micah and anyone who catches me or even gives information about where I'm hiding would be rewarded with a great amount of money, now I know why Micah didn't like my joke.

"Why on earth am I reported missing!" said Micah with great anger in her voice.

Then we heard two men talking.

"Hey look, was that Micah?"

"Yeah, let's take her back to Donna; she'll surely going to give us a huge amount of money, wait a minute was that the kidnapper; the one beside her?"

"Yah man, you're right! I guess we're getting lucky."

Oh s**t! They're talking about us, I'm so nervous I don't know what to do.

"Arthur Vessely stopped there and hand over Micah to us!"

I froze, I can't move an inch! One of the guys was holding Micah while the other one was pinning me down to the ground.

"Stop!!!" said Micah.

The two strangers stared at her and then she continues "I'm with him, he's a good guy; actually I'm the one who kidn*pped him so if you really want to arrest the kidnapper you should arrest me not him" explained Micah.

"Okay, but he's also the suspect of killing one of the doctors in Hudson's hospital."

"No! He can't be, He's with me at that time so he can't be the one"

"Oh very well, we'll just have to take you to Madame Donna," said one of the guys.

"You may be clear for now but we'll keep an eye on you..." said the other guy to me but I just nodded and smiled at them.

As they accompanied us to Nielson's mansion to bring Micah back to her mother, I can see that she can't help but feel angry at her mother for reporting her as missing.

As always everything was so messed up.

How can I prove my innocence?
