It's been weeks and Elijah and I haven't been able to get ahold of Michael. Everyday for a little over 3 weeks Elijah has been calling his brother and going over to his place and to where he is stationed and always seems to just miss him. Hopefully today is the day. Elijah has a great plan on how to get us out of here. The only thing that is missing from us actually being able to leave is telling Michael.
"We have to get to Michael somehow and leave with him today. Vanessa said that everything could be over by the end of the month. Elijah I want to be reunited with Gracie." I tell him practically begging him.
"You will Iris. I promise. Today is the day that I will talk to Michael and we will escape TODAY!"
I just love this man. I cannot wait to introduce him to Gracie. With everything that has happened since the tsunami I've been thinking about how I am going to break the news about her dad to her. Gracie was a daddy's girl but the past year he has been distant from both of us. I should have seen the signs from the beginning. Now because of his choices I have to be the one to break my precious daughters heart. I wonder if her even knows what happened to Harmony, or if he even cares.
After having a few moments alone I am interrupted by the sound of the door opening. " I'm sorry babe I didn't mean to scare you. But we got to go. Michael is in the car and we have to sneak you out. Remember the plan." He says while putting a small bag on the table which had a wig and a change of clothes. I nod my head and quickly change and stuff my long red hair into this blonde wig. Then I change into these black slacks and white button up top.
Elijah looks me up and down and says, "Wow!"
I chuckle and say, "Pick up your jaw sir and lets go before it is to late." He nods and we make our way into the hallway. It seems so easy. No one suspects a thing. We get to the parking garage and we get into Elijah's car. I get in the back seat and that's where I meet Michael for the first time. I can't really tell how tall he is but I do see that he is covered in tattoos. They do have the same colored hair (black), Michael is a bit tanner than Elijah and much more built. You know from being in the military and all.
I mean it does seem like Michael can take on a group of scientists, but when you actually stop and think about it, scientist have a lot of things up their sleeves. After staring for a few seconds he extends his arm out and says, "Hi I'm Michael, you must be Iris. Elijah was telling me all about you on the way over here."
And before I had the chance to say anything, we hear the alarms going off. Elijah runs into the car and say, "They know you escaped. We gotta go!" And then they started shooting at us.
"Iris GET DOWN!!!" Michael says as he pushes me down and cocks his gun and shoots back, while Elijah is driving past every guard that attempts to get in our way. We peel out and finally are away from all the chaos. I ask, "How the hell did they know I was gone?"
"I'm not sure. This is to weird but atleast we are out and can meet up with your family." Elijah says with a sigh of relief. We make our way to the location that Vanessa said we would meet the Villarreals since she and "Guy" would be talking to her boss about about everything that has happened to us.
Once we get to the location I see 3 cars. All the same color and we park right next to the middle one and wait. Then they appeared on either side of of the car.
"Iris! Oh my goodness! I can't believe you are really alive. I was so upset because it was supposed to be me." Mr. Villarreal says while he is opening the door and hurriedly embraced me in a huge hug. "I missed you guys too. And don't feel bad I am alive and I felt useless. And that was the only way that I felt like I could actually help." I said.
"Well the important thing is we are all together again and along with some new friends. Who are these two?" Mrs. Villarreal asks.
"Oh I am so sorry, this is Elijah and his brother Michael. They are the guys I was telling you all about." I say as they all extend their hands and introduce themselves.
"Nice to meet you guys, we are the Villarreal's. Thank you Elijah for taking care of Iris and bringing her back to us. I know when Gracie sees her mom again she is going to be so happy." Mrs. Villarreal says.
"Alright now we need to get going. We are all going to be interviewed today."
"What do you guys mean interviewed?" Elijah asks.
"I mean Vanessa's boss should already be at the house interviewing her. With this we should be able to come out of hiding. I mean we wont be able to go back to Harmony, but there is talk about us being well compensated for our troubles." Mr. Villarreal says.
"Oh wow that is amazing. More or less when am I going to see Gracie?" I ask.
"According to Vanessa's boss if everything goes our way then by the end of this month everyone will be reunited." Mrs. Villarreal says.
"Alright guys enough talk we need to get going. Just in case we are being watched. We got to go." Mr. Villarreal says.
We get into a different car and Mr. Villarreal is driving us to their new safe house. We drive in and park the car inside the garage and make our way into the house. Vanessa is at the kitchen table with a strange man being interviewed and "Guy" is in the other part of the room with 2 more men talking. As we step further into the house we see the Sanchez's.
"Hey there she is! Oh my goodness you are really here." Mrs. Sanchez says as she comes up to me and hugs me. After a few minutes of introductions, we make our way to Vanessa and the man she was talking to once she sees me she immediately jumps up and down and comes to hug me.
She is crying but they are tears of joy. We are hugging for what seems like an eternity. She whispers to me, " I tried to keep my promise. I mean I know the kids are safe, but not with me." She was whimpering at this point.
"Vanessa this was the plan. Don't worry, I know you did and are doing the best for the kids, all four of them." I tell her. I turn to "Guy" who has his arms open and takes me in for a hug. "Hey 'Guy' I missed you."
"Iris so glad that you are back with us. Oh and I didn't tell you, you don't have to call me 'Guy' anymore. My name is Alejandro."
I'm shocked, but in a way makes sense since he is basically on the run also, so no need to be formal.
"Well it is nice to formally meet you Alejandro." I say. When I go to introduce Elijah and Michael to Alejandro, but they already know each other. I had forgotten that they worked together. After our little reunion I meet John and Chris. Then Vanessa goes back to her boss to be interviewed.
I'm watching Vanessa do her interview and her boss asks, "So out of all this horrible chaos, what is something that you are grateful to have happen?"
"Well I met an amazing man who is awesome with my son. Even in all of this he asked me to marry him. And not only that, we are going to to have a baby." Was Vanessa answer.
"WHAT?! You are pregnant?! And getting married EEEKKK!!!!" I say as I run up and hug her. "Oh my gosh! Vanessa I am so happy for you."
"Thank you girlie." Vanessa says. "It was something that was completely unexpected and now we are having a baby and hopefully once we are able to then I can actually see a doctor and I can see how far along I am and if I am having a boy or a girl. I just hope that this baby is healthy just like Isaiah was."
Now I see what it was about Vanessa that was so mesmerizing, SHE'S PREGNANT. I am so happy for her. Out of a horrible situation something beautiful has finally come out. After all of us were interviewed Vanessa's boss gave us all some money and said that he would be in touch tomorrow to see what we need to do next.
Everything is settled and now we are eating some take out Chinese food. After some light conversation we clean up and then we go to bed. I take a room upstairs next to Vanessa and Alejandro. Elijah and Michael both agreed to sleep in the living room, but while I was getting ready for bed Elijah comes into the room and startles me.
"Hey pretty lady. I just wanted to say good night and I am going to miss you." He says while he takes me in for a hug.
"Well good night to you to first time we are sleeping under the same roof." I cant believe that I am talking like this. Like I am a freaking teenager. But none the less I know I am blushing.
"Well I'll let you go. Get some rest now that you will be sleeping in a comfortable big bed." He tells me.
"Ha yeah it's been a while. Well good night then." I say while giving him a hug. He then turns away and as he is walking out the room I stop him and say, "wait... can you stay with me? I mean sleep in bed with me?"
"I thought you would never ask." he says while running to the bed and gets all comfy. I chuckle and then I get into bed with him, and we cuddle. We haven't really even kissed or anything like that. This is the first time that we are this close. I turn to him and say, "You are kind of making me nervous, you know."
"Why?"
"I haven't been this close to anyone since my husband."
"Oh well I am honored that you are comfortable enough to be this close to me." And as he says that he leans in closer to me and I look at his lips and he looks at mine. There is a tension that you know we want to kiss each other but we are both waiting for the other one to make the first move. Then I finally cave in and I make the first move. I kiss him.
I move back after planting a kiss on his lips. He looks at me with the sexiest smile and then begins to kiss me hard, it was so sexy, I loved it. The kiss is so hot and I am running my hands all over his body while he is lifting up my shirt. I quickly take it off, and then he begins to kiss me all down my neck and chest. It feels so amazing. His lips feel so soft. And then he makes his way down to my pants and he begins to take them off. And then he starts to rub me in my most intimate area. And boy does he know what he is doing. He then begins to kiss me there, I have never had that done to me before. I was scared at first but he then looked at me and said, "Are you ok with me doing this? Can I kiss you there? Lick you there?"
I look at him and I am so happy that he is getting my consent. I nod my head and I tell him, "I have never had anyone do that to me before." He chuckles and says, "Don't worry sweetheart I know what I am doing."
He then begins to make his way down and start to kiss my intimate area. My head tilts back in ecstasy. It feels amazing and then I start to feel a tingling sensation and a shock shoot right through my back. He then gets back up and quickly pulls down his pants and his soldier is standing right at attention. He asks me again, "Are you sure you want this? Do you want me to keep going?"
"Yes please don't stop." he smiles at me and gets on top of me and he begins to kiss me. And then I begin to feel him slowly enter me. He is grunting and saying, "Oh my goodness baby you feel so fucking amazing." I am moaning so loud and I am gripping on him for dear life. He is going slow and taking his time. He is making love to me. So I begin to take control and I turn him around and I get on top of him and start moving my hips back and forth, side to side. Its like he was made for me. We are in sync with each other. He is running his hands all over my body and that's when I hear him say, "Oh God baby I am about to cum." And for some reason that made me go into over drive and move a lot faster and he pulled out real quick and I lay down next to him kind of disappointed and he notices and he begins to kiss me and he starts rubbing me and that's when I start to feel the jolt of electricity just shoot through my spine and I moan out, "Oh fuck I'm coming!!!" And then I begin to twitch and he laughs and cuddles behind me and kisses my neck.
"Good night sweetheart. I love you." He says.
" I love you too." I say.
Wait did I just say "I love you" to him?
