k.....here we go :)
End of Chapter 22
"Maija, I got a call. We have to leave, your...family is coming for you." He dicho softly, yet sternly.
"I can't just leave, my aunts.." I dicho as I was interrupted.
"Dale and Elise will tell them, we have to go now. Please just grab what tu need, we're going to have to take the horses."
"Um..Michael, can't we talk to everyone about this?"
"No...someone...we can't stay. Please trust me." He dicho softly, his hands dropping from my face.
"I do." I dicho equally soft.
"Please hurry then, we have to go before they get too close."
I looked at him for a few minutos trying to figure out what he wasn't telling me, but his face was like stone..unreadable. I believed Dale when he dicho that Michael was going to be my traveling companion..and because of that I turned and started stuffing things into a backpack as fast as I could.
Chapter 23
I stuffed as much into the bags as I could, trying to hurry since Michael was pacing from my window and back. Every time he got to the window he would peer out into the darkness for a segundo before turning and marching back to my cama to begin the pattern again.
"That isn't helping tu know." I snapped at him as i stuffed a camisa de entrenamiento, sudadera into the bag.
"Stop watching what I am doing and pack." He replied as he turned and sat on the bed.
I glared at him for a second, my thoughts going so fast that I was getting a headache. I heard Michael mutter something to himself and before I realized it I turned and threw my bag at his head as hard as I could.
"Ya know, tu have all the respuestas don't you?" I yelled as the bag burst open, my clothes flying around my bed. "And I am dumb enough to just fallow along."
"Maija." He dicho softly.
"No.Ya know what...NO." I yelled as I turned and walked towards him slowly, my entire body shaking from the anger. "You know what Michael, just go without me. I'm done."
"Maija."
"Stop talking to me...ya know what? Just go." I dicho as I turned and walked to hold the door open for him.
"Please?" He dicho sadly.
"Ya know what? No. Goodnigh.." I said, but was interrupted when Michael's hand reached up, holding my face still as he kissed me.
Part of me wanted to pull away, to puñetazo, ponche him in the face for trying to use my emotions to help him...but the bigger part of me shut down. I just lost myself in the kiss, his lips hard against mine as he held my face in his strong hands.
I felt his grip relax on my face, the fingers of his right hand tracing down my neck, past my shoulder and stopping at the small of my back where he pulled me closer to him.
I know this sounds strange, but I had a moment while besar him that I wondered why I wasn't angry. I knew that I should be, that he was just distracting me but all I could think of was how soft his lips were, of how warm his hand was against my back and how hard my corazón was beating at that moment.
"What are tu thinking about?" He asked as he pulled his lips from mine. "Maija you're blushing."
"I...I was wondering why I wasn't mad." I whispered.
"I'm sorry. Please forgive me. We have to go." He said, each sentence interrupted por a kiss.
"Michael," I sighed as I stepped away from him, his arms wrapping around my waist keeping me close to him.
"Maijalissa, I.." He dicho as he looked deep into my eyes. "I lo.."
I held my breath as I waited for him to finish the sentence that I was longing to hear...but before he could finish he spun as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the window.
"We have to go, please trust me. They're almost here." He dicho and for one of the first times I heard fear in his voice. "Grab your things."
I looked at him for a minuto before I turned and stuffed everything back into the bag, I pulled it on my shoulder as he grabbed my hand and run out the front door and down to the granero where I found Piper and Concho saddled and ready to go. Michael smiled at me as he walked over and helped me up onto Piper, his hand lingering on my hand for a moment before he went and got on Concho. We turned and ran the caballos off to the north, towards the river. We had been running for about an hora when we first saw them, two cloaked riders who were almost invisible in the night.
