Running from Fumes

I open my eyes to the sun shining brightly through my cream colored curtains. I inhale deeply and stretch my body relishing the warmth of my king sized bed. "My empty bed." I think to myself chuckling as I throw my blankets off of me. Today is Sunday, family dinner. Regardless of what plans we have on Sundays, we cancel for dinner. Or bring the plans with us. Mama doesn't care too much for my flings coming to dinner with me so I've made it a point to never make plans on these Sundays. I do have a two hour drive to get to my parents home so I jump up to shower and get things ready to go. As I step into my warm shower letting the water flow over me I try to relax. It's been a tough few weeks and I missed the last family dinner. I'm ready to see my mom and dad. Today will be a day to refill my heart with love and joy. I start washing my hair and move onto shaving my legs as I let my deep conditioner sit for a few minutes. Humming to myself I stop as I hear a click. I live alone. There shouldn't be anyone here. No one else has a key. Was that the door? Suddenly I feel a whoosh of cold air and realize the air conditioner kicked on. I chuckle nervously as I realize I'm being jumpy still. Shaking my head I push the thought away. I had a few small things come up missing around the house. So small I could have easily misplaced them but a niggly feeling in the back of my mind tells me I'm not crazy. I've been extra careful about locking the windows and doors when I'm not home and even installed an extra dead bolt on my front and back doors so I've been feeling much better and more confident. I rinse the conditioner from my hair and lather up my loofah with my coconut & pear scented body wash. I scrub and exfoliate my whole body but linger between my legs. Biting my lip, I wonder if I have time for a quick orgasm while unconsciously my other hand finds my soapy breasts and tweaks my own nipple. Yup. I'll make time. I can't go on a date tonight anyways as I validate my own thoughts. I look down at my flat stomach as I drop my loofah and reach up to grab the shower head and bring it down to my body and adjusted the setting. Whoever made these has to know that no one showers with this setting. It's obviously meant for this. It's a long hard, powerful stream that would be very difficult to actually shower with. I shrug to myself as I feel the power of the stream hitting my stomach. I gently lower it to the aching part of me with one hand, and with the other I continue teasing my nipple. It's been a long time since I've had a release, so this one finds me quickly. In no time a moan escapes from my mouth and I gasp out. My legs feel wobbly and shakily I return the shower head to where it was. Completely unaware of the man who silently slipped out of the bathroom when he found his release as well.

Chapter 11

"Sir?" Cal mindlinks out, knowing he is still listening. "I'm here. I'm outside the residence now in the forest. I can't get too close, her parents will feel my presence. Don't let her escape or leave. If she does, follow her and don't let her know you're doing so. Keep her safe." Cal answers "I understand."

Cal watches as Rose runs inside, slamming the door, tears pouring down her face as she runs upstairs to her room. He gets up to follow her.

He arrives outside her door and knocks gently. She calls out "Leave me alone I've had enough talking!!" Cal says "Rose it's me, let me in. What's going on? Are you crying?"

He can hear her sniffling on the other side but her footsteps come closer and she unlocks the door and turns around before he can see her face. She's gathering her bags together, and looks like she's gonna run.

"...Rose?" She turns around and looks at him with a puffy red face, "I have to go Cal. I'm sorry to leave like this, you can obviously go too, I'm sure it would be weird to stay with my parents without me." She grins weakly and takes a big sigh, not looking at him, "I can't explain to you what my parents just told me, because I can't understand it myself. But I have to go. I have to run and get as far away from here as I can." She grabs a tissue and blows her nose, "I'm leaving now." Cal looks thoughtful and says "I won't ask you to explain it to me, but if you're running, I'm coming too." Her face shows bewilderment as she looks at him and opens and closes her mouth, he knows what she's trying to say, "Rose I'm coming. You're obviously terrified and heartbroken, you have no business being alone right now." She just stares at him and asks, "What about your promotion? Don't you have to go?" Cal replies, "Not for a while, and don't worry about that. I'll push it off. I'm good enough, they'll wait for me." He finishes with a wink. "I'm going to grab my bags, I haven't unpacked yet either. Meet at my car in 10?" Wordlessly she just nodded her head and reached out and squeezed his hand with a small smile.

...

Once they have finished throwing their bags in the trunk, Rose's parents come outside, her mom has tears falling down her face silently while her dad stands still as stone with a frown set in his face and his hands shoved in his pockets.

"Rose honey, please stay. We can protect you here. We can't protect you if we don't know where you are." Her mom hiccups through her tears.

"You can't protect me. You sold me off to someone and he's gonna come collect. I can't stay here and wait for it. I love you guys but I can't stand to look at you, I have to go. I will contact you when I have calmed down."

Cal looks down silently listening to their conversation. He looks back up and accidentally catches her fathers eye. With a silent nod Cal communicates to her father that he will watch over Rose and keep her safe. His face shows gratefulness, but he also shows fear for his daughter.
