When we got there, I could only see a field of flowers through the window. It was incredibly beautiful, I could see all kinds of colors and shapes on the field, it looked almost magical.
“Where are we?” I asked and undid my seatbelt. I was ready to jump out of the car and see this up close.
“A place where I often come when I am feeling low. It’s so pretty I don’t think anybody could feel bad here.” I liked what he just said, I liked that he appreciated the beauty of it because I sure did.
I got out of the car and so did he, afterwards Troy made a gesture that signaled that I should follow him. We went up into the field and when I looked down at my legs they were surrounded by the beautiful flowers, I tried not to step on them but it was impossible - they were simply too many. When they walked a bit into the field, he stopped and sat down.
“This is where I sit. If you look around the only things you could see around you are flowers and a clear sky - nothing else.” Luckily it was the end of summer so it would get dark around 9 and the sky was still super clear. The sun was starting to slightly set which made the scenery as beautiful as it could have been.
You know how people say that you can take the best pictures around sunset? It’s supposed to make people look their best. I don’t know if it was the sunset or not but Troy sure was candy to my eyes. I found it hard to take my eyes off of him, luckily the view was amazing itself so I had some distraction.
“You look great,” he looked at me and said. Aw, I thought it was kind of cute that he was saying that. Even though it was a typical date line I was glad he said it, it’s always nice to feel pretty.
“Thank you.” I smiled and he grabbed my hand gently. We were sitting on the ground right next to each other and the smell of flowers and fresh air made the moment so perfect. I loved that place, I was glad that he took me here and not to some closed up fancy restaurant. I can go to a restaurant any day (not that I have something against them). This place was special, I was sure that not many people knew about it and that was both sad and nice. Sad because it is very beautiful and many should be able to enjoy it, and nice because that way it isn’t crowded and remains untouched.
Holding his hand felt quite good, it is weird how his hand is so much bigger than mine yet they still fit perfectly well together. After a few seconds he let me go and stood up.
“What are you doing?”
“I want to do something for you.” he said and looked at me.
“What?”
“Just promise you won’t try to stop me or anything,” well that didn’t sound too good.
“It’s hard to promise when you put it that way.” Honestly, it sounded slightly creepy.
“Come on, Lana, don’t you trust me by now.” he had a point, I knew what he could do so just the fact that I was there with him now despite knowing everything should have been enough of a sign that I do trust him.
“Alright, do it.” I agreed and stood up next to him.
“When things are light, it is not that difficult,” he said while I had no idea what he was referring to. I waited for something to happen and he started looking at the field of flowers.
I was looking there as well and something suddenly started moving on the ground right in front of us. I thought that it could be some animal so I was startled for a second and then I noticed something even weirder.
A couple of flowers were starting to lift up in the air. One by one, red, pink, yellow, blue all of the colors were lifted in the air, it looked like they were flying. They went higher and higher and eventually I could look up and see the flowers floating right above me instead of the clear sky - it looked like it was raining flowers or there were flower fireworks. It was incredibly beautiful - maybe the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
After a while in the air, the flowers started falling down around me, I felt like I was showering in them or I was feeling the snow of flowers fall right beside me. Troy was smiling because he could see the huge smile that I had on my face, it was so lovely what was happening around me right there, it was like some kind of a fairytale and I was the princess surrounded by the magical flowers. They kept falling beside me and I tried to touch them or grab them, I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing, it was so amazing. So many flowers were falling down, it felt like they would never end.
Eventually they did, and I looked at Troy who seemed slightly tired but nothing bad had happened even though he had just used his powers. Maybe I was wrong and maybe he could actually control it. I went up, hugged him and gave him a kiss.
“That always works with the ladies,” he joked and kissed me back. His kisses were the best, so smooth and so perfect, not too much tongue like he’s trying to touch your tonsils and not too much pressure on the lips. Just a soft, perfect kiss.
“Yeah, I bet,” I said and continued kissing him. I wished that moment would last forever or that I could tape it so I could watch it a million times. Only problem was that I couldn’t tell anybody what had just happened so this meant that I would have to make up some story about how today went… if I were to even tell Amalie or Jacob.
“Thank you for coming out here today,” he said as we were eating some fruits that he had brought. He had taken care of the food part as well… again. Maybe next time I should be the one to bring food?
“Thank you for giving me such a great time,” I replied and ate a few grapes.
We found it a bit hard to stop kissing because the kisses were sweeter than any of the fruits around but eventually we got around to stopping and preparing to leave. Everything was great until we got in the car and he put on his seatbelt.
“Do you see this?” Troy asked and pointed at the back of the car. I looked out the window and I noticed some car parked a few meters down.
“Yes?” I didn’t think it was weird.
“Nobody comes out here,” he said and started up the car really fast.
“Maybe someone found out about it.”
“At this time of day, no way.” after he said that we noticed that the car behind us also started up. As he started driving we tried to observe if the car would continue driving right behind us - and it did. The car itself was very weird, its license plate was just a word - ISTDN. No number or anything which can be quite common around here because of the many rich neighborhoods. It was however strange, it looked a bit like a pickup truck except it was very big and all the windows were dark. The night was setting in so I couldn’t even see the driver as I was looking back.
At first it wasn’t that strange but after a few minutes of driving we noticed that they wouldn’t stop following us. Troy took a weird turn just to check if they would continue and they did.
“What is going on?” I was starting to panic.
“I think they’re following me again,” he said while looking nervously in the rear-view mirror.
“Again?!” I was officially panicking.
“The bad people I told you about… I think those are them,” he was driving way faster than he should have been at that point, I felt like he could easily lose control of the car.
“Stop the car, you’re driving really fast!” I wanted to get off, I was scared and I wanted to know what on Earth was happening.
“I can’t stop the car, they’ll get me.”
“Who are they?”
“I don’t know, ok? I just know that they are after me, I guess they must have found out what I can do.”
“Just stop the car, okay?” I wanted to seriously get off, I couldn’t deal with that.
Troy stopped and I got out as fast as I could. I looked back at the car that was following us, they stopped as well.
“What do you want?” I shouted at them which was probably a terrible idea.
A bunch of men in suits came out and started walking towards us without saying anything. They looked scary and not because of their appearance but because of the way that they were being. Quiet, mysterious and scary.
Ok, in that moment I was so scared I could h
ave peed my pants. Troy came up towards me and tried to pull me back.
“You can’t stay here, we have to keep going.” he said and tried to pull me back in the car.
“No, I’d like to see what they can say to me, I haven’t done anything and neither have you.”
“This isn’t the police, Lana!” he really wanted me to get back in that car.
As the men kept coming toward us one of them was about to take something out of his pocket. Maybe Troy thought it was a gun so he didn’t even hesitate before taking action. He stood up right in front of me and in less than a few seconds I could see the men being pushed back towards their car, he pushed them with his mind. Some of them probably got hurt as the push seemed stronger than anything I had seen before.
“What are you doing?” I said as he grabbed my hand. I noticed that his ears were starting to bleed. Before I knew it he was looking all pale and lifeless again, he almost fell into my arms but I helped him get back in the car. I took the driver seat and started up the car, there was no time to see if the people were okay, all I knew is that I couldn’t let him die.
“No hospital.” he said right before he passed out. I was wondering whether I should listen to him or not. He had a pulse and this had happened many times before so I thought that he would probably be fine without going to the doctor. I drove him to my apartment and put him on a bed. He seemed so sick it made me feel bad for him. I wanted to magically help him and make him feel okay but all I could do was sit next to him and wait.
I was doing the dishes when I heard a noise coming from the living room. I had put him to sleep on my couch and I imagined he had woken up. It was around 2 hours after I had taken him under my roof. Going into the kitchen I saw him sitting at the edge of the couch with his hands on his face, it seemed like he was in pain. I walked toward him and he looked up to me as I sat next to him on the leather couch.
“I know it can be really uncomfortable to sleep on,” I said and touched his shoulder. His shoulders felt so great, I could tell that he was either working out or he just had some great genes.
“I don’t mind,” he looked at me and smiled. “Thank you so much for not taking me to a hospital.” he added and grabbed my hand. Before I could answer he was already leaning in for a kiss. I didn’t pull back, I leaned as well and we were locked in a kiss again. It was just as amazing as all the previous ones. At one point it got hot, I felt his hand going up and down my back, it was very sensual. I loved it a lot when guys touched my back and even though he didn’t know that he was doing it as if he did.
For a second I considered that maybe everything was happening way too fast but I did not seem to care. I just went with it because after all that we had went through today, all the romance and the insane chase, I just wanted to feel normal and calm for a bit.
After a few seconds the kissing was a lot, way more than it normally should be, I could tell that this was going in a direction that I would normally consider a fifth date material but not now. I felt safe with him and I wanted this just as much as he did - maybe even more - he was in fact amazingly attractive.
As he was kissing me I started feeling his hand going lower. It was going dangerously close to my ass, I knew he wanted to grab it, everyone always said that I had an amazing ass considering how skinny I was. Before actually grabbing it I guess he realized as well where this was going so he stopped, looked at me and asked:
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Absolutely,” I was. I had no doubts whatsoever about how much I wanted it right there and then.
As I said that he went back into our kiss. His hand was going lower and lower and eventually he grabbed it, he squeezed it and he loved it. I could tell by the way he was kissing me that he was very attracted to me.
I stopped the kiss and started kissing his neck, I loved how I could see his veins, it was always an attractive feature in a guy. After I stopped he did the same thing on me, we weren’t even doing anything yet and it felt amazing and electric. My whole body was in pleasure even though he wasn’t really even touching me yet. And then he was, as his hand was on my ass it slowly went down my pants onto the same place it was before - but naked. I touched his chest and put my hand below his t-shirt. I was happy to find that he had abs - and they were well shaped. I kept touching them and they felt so damn good. Our tongues were playing with each other or maybe they were fighting but in any case, I loved it.
The foreplay was getting hotter, I took off his shirt and got a view of all that I was touching and he did the same by taking off my pants. I was, luckily, wearing lacy black pants so I looked quite yummy. After he took off my pants, taking off my shirt followed and he put his hand in my pants, I could feel him rubbing me and I moaned in pleasure. Fuck, I really wanted that. I unzipped his pants and grabbed him. It felt hard and firm… definitely wasn’t small. I started massaging him while he was rubbing me and we would go on kissing. After a few seconds we both seemed to not be able to take it anymore and wanted to get straight to the action as soon as possible.
He pushed me on the couch and took off my panties, without even asking his mouth was there now. It felt so amazing, he surely knew what he was doing. I couldn’t stop moaning because I felt as if I was in heaven. After a few minutes he put on a condom and went in. The real deal was so much better than anything else. He felt so amazingly good inside me and I could tell he loved it too, it is so hot when guys give out a little moan because it is so rare. After a while I went on top and showed him how I could move, those twerking moves that everyone hated - actually very useful in that scenario for both of us. I felt like it was going on for hours but still neither one of us wanted to stop, around the end he started rubbing me while doing me from behind and I finished which my neighbors probably knew.
I hadn’t been with that many people in my life but that was definitely my favorite. We somehow fit together, our bodies worked as one and it was like we knew exactly what the other person needed and we helped each other out. It felt better than anything else.
Chapter 7
After the long amazing night that we spent together, I joined him in the lab because he had to go and grab a few important things. Chances were that they had already done it for him but we needed to check anyway.
When we got there the room was locked and none of our student cards could manage to open it. It was Saturday so it wasn’t that surprising that the whole building was empty and nothing would really unlock. Luckily, the room was on the first floor so there was a chance for me to crawl through the window.
He could easily push me up. “It looks completely trashed…,” I said from inside as I was looking around for the tube and folder that he needed. They were nowhere to be seen and somebody had definitely been there.
“Look behind the printers.” Troy said while trying to look through the window. I was snooping everywhere but there was nothing to be found. While snooping I couldn’t help notice a picture of him and his mother. They seemed so happy there - they were sitting on some bench and you could see a lake behind them, it was a beautiful scenery and a beautiful moment. He looked quite young in that picture - maybe around 14 years old.
“You’re such a cutie here,” I said and looked through the window. He wasn’t there. “Troy?” I said a bit louder hoping that he would hear me but I got no answer. Where could he have gone so fast? I went forward towards the window and the moment I looked out something grabbed me. Before I could scream for help I felt the pain of a sharp needle in my neck and I knew that we were in big trouble.
Waking up was weird and uncomfortable. I could barely feel my body and when I looked around all I could see was darkness. I was so scared that I could feel my heartbeat in my head. I moved my hand and the lights turned on. I was in a room where everything seemed pretty normal - it even looked like a hotel room. I looked around and on the bed next to me was Troy laying down unconsciously.
“Troy?!” I got up from the bed even though it was difficult and I went up to hi
m. I had to check if he was okay. He started opening his eyes slowly and then he looked at me.
“Where am I?” he asked while trying to get up himself.
“I don’t know,” I replied while looking around the room, “I think the people from yesterday might have something to do with this.”
“I don’t think, I am sure they do,” he said while seeming kind of angry. I couldn't really blame him though; I didn’t love this situation myself.
“Let’s see what’s outside” I said pointing at the door. As we were about to head out, the door opened and a woman walked in. She was wearing that businesswoman type of skirt with a shirt and a coat - all in dark red. Her high heels were knocking on the floor and she made me feel a sense of power that she seemed to carry around with herself. Her hair was straight and put in a ponytail and her make-up was flawless, the woman herself seemed flawless, everything in her screamed of perfection, it was quite intimidating.
“Hello.” she said and went up and sat at the edge of one of the beds. “Please, sit down” she added pointing at the other one. Without saying anything me and Troy did what she asked of us and sat down. “Let me just say that I am sorry for how things were handled, I didn’t mean for it to be this way, you just always kept running. Also, Lana Wood, you are free to go if you wish,” she said in a perfectly normal tone, as if it didn’t matter that they had just kidnapped us.
“I am not going anywhere until you let him go too,” I said and meant it.
“Of course,” her voice was still as calm as possible.
“Why are we here?” Troy said and stood up from the bed as if he was ready to leave.
“You know why, you have been here before.” she said and smiled. What was she talking about? If he had been here before then why was he trying so hard to escape them.
