Arthur’s eyes scanned the house a little more, eventually resting on a photograph of Eva and her mother. As from Arthur’s experience so far, Evelyn still had that serious face on. But when Arthur’s face moved down to Eva’s he felt as if he didn’t recognize it. She looked almost as serious as her mother. In Arthur’s eyes, it was obvious to him that she was having to suppress her smiling for this photo. It was odd seeing her so serious. His eyes drifted through the room again and landed on the violin perched against the stairs. Did Eva know how to play? If she did, he would love to lay back and listen to her play. Arthur had a love for the guitar, and he wondered if they could play music together some time. How lovely that would be. But Arthur couldn’t think of many songs that had violins and guitars together. He tended to lean more towards rock and metal music, than to more sophisticated, classical music. He jumped slightly hearing her sweet honey voice coming from the stairs, but then a small shout.

He was ready to launch up the stairs to check on her, but before he could get a step up, he saw her running down the stairs. His eyes traveled from her feet and up the long socks that stopped just above her knees. Wow, who knew something that could cover so much skin could still be so sexy? The rest of her outfit was pretty normal, thank top and a skirt. But in Arthur’s eyes, she still radiated sex appeal just as she had the night before. [color=dodgerblue]"Sorry for not warning you… I happened to be nearby."[/color] He scratched his cheek, watching her turn around and run off to answer the phone. Oh, how that little skirt bounced up with each of her steps as well. She said he could take off his jacket, and as he began to slip one hand under his jacket, he felt the leather strap of his shoulder holster and froze up. Shit! Why did he bring his gun with him? He didn’t need it, why did he bring it? He moved his hand away, leaving his jacket on. He couldn’t take his jacket off without exposing to Eva that he was packing. She seemed distracted enough by the phone, but would he be fast enough to take it off without noticing?

Before he could finish calculating how he could shimmy it off, Eva had gotten off the phone and turned his attention back to him. He wanted to stare at her and just absorb in the beauty that was her body, but he felt on edge knowing all of the stupid mistakes he was making. Being here, bringing his gun. He wanted to slap himself in the face. But something she said sounded odd to him. Grant residence? Well, what is her name? Grant or Esperanza. There was a little peak of hope in Arthur’s chest for a second. Step-parents? Was there a chance that she wasn’t related to Evelyn? Could she be a step mother? Arthur felt this was a reasonable answer, as it seemed Eva had nothing in common with this Evelyn woman. At least not from what Arthur could tell. He couldn’t really see the resemblance between her and the woman whose pictures sat in his car. But turning his attention back to Eva, he could tell she was tired… very tired. It hadn’t clicked with Arthur that she could be sleep deprived from staying up so late. He was used to staying up late and getting up early, that sure he could be tired, but it didn’t affect him.

But he could see in her eyes and in the way she was talking, she was very tired. Was she serious about just taking a nap? Had he misinterpreted what her message meant? Mentally Arthur was facepalming. Of course, she hadn’t been talking about sex! She wouldn’t have! She was a good girl, not like all those girls that Terrance would sleep around with. But it didn’t deter his spirit. Even just being in her presence brought Arthur a bit of joy and warmth. Arthur approached Eva and lifted her up in his arms, one arm behind her back, and he other hooked under her legs, bridal style. He made sure to hold her up in a way, so that his gun wouldn’t be poking into her, and carried her up the stairs. His heart was pounding, carrying Eva like this. He felt like he could just run off with her, it gave him so much control.

He knew the layout of the house relatively well. Maybe too well for someone that hadn’t been in her home before. He knew there was a master bedroom, most likely not Eva’s room, and the second biggest bedroom was right beside it. But upon looking through the door, he instead found a nicely furnished office room. Wasn’t this supposed to be a bedroom? Why wasn’t the second biggest room Eva’s bedroom? He moved down the hall, poking his head into the third biggest room, to discover a girl’s room. It was reassuring that it looked nothing like the bedroom from his nightmare, and Arthur brought her to her bed, placing her down gently. The bed was beckoning him to climb in, and it hit him how nice it would be to just curl up with Eva and take a nap with her. Terrance would be shaking his head hard, but Arthur didn’t care. He just wanted to hold her. Not thinking much about the image he was giving, he started to climb into the bed with her, lying beside her. He wrapped one of his arms around her waist, feeling the skin of her hip. He pulled her close to him, like a child cuddling a stuffed animal. If he kept his legs straight, his feet would have been hanging over the edge, so he kept them bent up towards Eva. The bed was so soft and cool, Arthur closed his eyes and sighed with satisfaction. [color=dodgerblue]"I was told there would be naps... so let's cut to the chase, hm?"[/color] He had a small smile on his lips, as his fingers played with the hem of her shirt.

[color=orange]"I want the whole truth, Jacob. Everything."[/color] Jacob’s heart was pounding in his ears, his eyes locked on the necklace in her hand. He couldn’t believe that she had held onto for so long. And he was thankful that she held it. If she kept it this long, did that mean she hadn’t fully stopped loving him too? Or at least, wasn’t ready to give up on them. Jacob was ready to tell her everything, his head swiveling around. [color=teal]"It isn’t safe here… Can we go somewhere else?"[/color]

They made their way to the parking lot, climbing into Helene’s car. Jacob turned up the radio as a way to block out the sound of their talking in case any recording devices could be nearby. [color=teal]"Everthing I tell you now… I trust that you will not tell anyone else. It won’t be safe for you. You have to keep this secret for me."[/color] Then he spilled out everything. Who he was, what he and his family did for a living. Trafficking drugs in and out of the United States. His connections, and those who could be after him, including Ricardo Munez. How Terrance had convinced him to break her heart- to lie to her and tell her that Jacob had been sleeping around behind her back. Then about Ricardo, how she would become a target for gang violence if Ricardo knew about their relationship and how he felt for her. How others would target her too, knowing that Jacob would do anything to protect Alyssa. It was dangerous for her, for him, and his entire family. He could explain more, expose Arthur for a killer, and his other to friends as thieves and spies. But he wasn’t going to expose them. It was dangerous enough with everything Jacob was saying so far. [color=teal]"But I can’t handle keeping this from you Alyssa. I can’t handle knowing that you hate me. That you think I would cheat on you. That isn’t who I am, and I was hoping you would call me out as a liar… but you didn’t. Alyssa, I could never let you get hurt like that. I could never hurt you, and I could never let my enemies come for you. You have to believe me. I love you, Alyssa. And if you don’t…"[/color] Jacob’s hands tightened into fists, [color=teal]"I can prove it to you."[/color]
