wanted a woman in this way before it
kills me that you shut me out, I can see you feel this attraction between us so I know there must be
a reason for it but unless you tell me what it is then I can't help you.” I could see his sincerity and
more than anything I wanted to unburden myself and share the horrors of the last four years but I
had no way of ensuring our safety, my eyes burned with emotion
”please will you just hold me and be happy with that just for now? I want to tell you why and
maybe I will find a way to let you in but this is how it has to be for now, I just want to feel safe” I
closed my eyes and felt his arms wrap round me,
“I will hold you as long as you want me but I will want all of you soon, don't fight me baby we are
inevitable,” I relished the contact and for the first time in many years I did feel safe.
Chapter 5
The light woke me and I was alone again, of course I hadn't expected him to stay over but a
goodbye would have been nice, sighing I rolled over noticing that I was still in my running gear but
covered with one of my throws. There was a note next to me on the pillow
Jenna
I have to go away until the weekend, think about us please and when I return we will have that
conversation, like I said Jenna we are inevitable and will be together, work out a way that can
happen and I will keep you safe forever. M
I shut my eyes tight, the feeling I had when he held me was like nothing I had ever experienced and
I knew he was right if I stayed here we would be inevitable, there was no option I needed to
arrange another place and fast. The last thing I wanted was to leave him but it was my one and
only choice. My Uncle usually sent me a pay as you go phone package on the first day of every
month so we could check in with each other and I noted with a jolt he was a few days late, my guts
twisted in four years he had never missed the date, maybe I was being irrational, perhaps he was
on holiday but without him I was stuck here, perhaps as we had decided I could remain here longer
he felt I didn't need the same regular contact but surely he would have told me? The man
following me last night suddenly sprang to mind and I jumped up and looked out of the window,
was someone on to me?, was I being watched?. I was pacing the floor now getting myself in a state.
Mrs Flint had given me a late start but actually what I wanted now was a distraction and friendly
faces so I jumped in the shower dressed and set off.
The walk to the hotel was straight forward I had missed the worst of the crowds, I scanned the
street constantly checking for the man who I saw last night glancing behind me every few steps but
I arrived with no signs of anyone untoward so I guess my imagination was probably working too
hard. My day was pleasant enough, Mrs Flint had me running around looking after all the VIP
guests, that was now my new position handling the difficult and glamorous, I loved every minute
especially when I received an expensive make up bag from a top model and signed photo from a
rock band and some very large tips. Thursday went the same way and my nerves had settled down
a bit, the distance from Morgan had helped but I also missed him rather more than I was
comfortable with this made the lack of contact from my uncle even more of a problem, I had to
move on as soon as I could, I would give him another week then use the emergency only pager to
contact Aunt Theresa this was a last resort. Morgan had been true to is word and given me time to
think, he would be disappointed to find no alteration in my mind when he did return, I wanted so
much to allow the feelings I had for him to develop but I was also realistic enough to understand
the implications if I did, should I allow him to risk his safety to give me the possibility of love? I was
not selfish enough to pursue that option so moving on was still my only safe option.
Friday morning came Tony and I walked in the lobby together discussing the staff night
