The Runaway Gypsy

Getting away

Me and Bo talked all night, no topic was off the table. He told me of his home in Texas, a giant ranch with wide open spaces to roam and play, he tells me that we will go horse back riding and all sorts of things that I have never done before. He laughed when I asked if he would show me how to ride a horse, and he near choked on air when I told him I have only ever seen a horses when the police ride them or at the park pulling carriages around. He tells me how we will go to San Antonio and see the Alamo and have a real honeymoon if I want. He tells me about the ranch we are going to see in Montana and how him and his father wants to buy it, that the ranch is very profitable and will make a nice addition to his families collection of working ranches. He ask me about my time away, he never says my time as a run away, just away. I tell him where I went which wasn’t many places but it was out of the city I was born, raised, and held captive in. He ask me if there is any place I’d like to go back to or even better any places I’d like to go while we are off on our trip. I joke and say I’d like to go to Paris and Rome. He smiles and tells me we will just not on this trip, when I ask him why not he informs me that I don’t have a passport and I need that to leave the country. I guess since I’m an adult I should know things like that but I have never left the country before so how would I know. He says I’m sheltered, I tell him I was held hostage. We both laugh at that, we talk about different things we like and don’t, movies, music, cars, our dreams and what we hope to do with our life’s. The more we talk the more I like Bo, the more we talk the more I’m happy that I got in the car. Some where during the conversation we both drift off on the floor of his living room, I wake late the next morning snuggled into Bo’s side, his chest is my pillow and a throw blanket over me. Bo’s eyes are closed and his breathing even. He’s still asleep so I ever so carefully get up and head to the bathroom. When I come back and he is still asleep I busy myself in the more silent manner I can and make pancakes for breakfast. About half way threw I hear Bo come alive and smile to myself. I turn to look into the living room to find him laying on the floor, arms folded with his head resting on them watching me. I smile as we make eye contact “good morning sleepy head” I say as I turn back to the Pan on the stove top “what ya doin darlin” I turn back to face him Pan in one hand and the spatula in the other and wave them in the air “oh trying to poison me seems like a good idea” I give him the stink eye and go back to the stove “Im joking darlin I’ll eat road kill if ya make it for me, Im not gonna lie a man could get use to this sleeping the day away, haven a fine a** woman make him breakfast, maybe even convince her his the best thing to happen since shoes” he makes his way from the floor to the breakfast bar and I set him a place to eat and then stack pancakes on his plate. As he digs into them he seems surprised that they didn’t taste like cardboard. He eats the stack of paper cakes in record speed then taps his plate for more “hungry there are we skippy” I playfully ask as I load his plate again “ these are really good darlin” I smile and say thanks then start to clean up the kitchen when the elevator dings and I freeze and look to Bo “I don’t know who it is but I’m going to start removing peoples keys to get in here. Doesnt anyone know to call before they come over” as the doors open we hear the screams of a baby crying and Bo rolls his eyes. Nova comes walking in with a screaming infant. She looks like she is in a total panic and hasn’t slept in a while “Bo I need help she won’t stop crying, she’s burning up, I can’t get Lucas on a phone and he hasn’t been back home since the other night I don’t know what to do Bo” Bo looks to me with a troubled expression and goes to his sister and takes the baby from her and starts bouncing her and rubbing her back. I dry my hands of the dish water and reach into the freezer for one of the popsicles I seen earlier and open it as I walk to Bo “give me the baby and I’ll get her calmed down, call my father and tell him that Lucas is being a jerk and his baby is sick and his wife is wore out and that he needs to locate his son and get his sorry a** home” Bo hands me the tiny baby and I rub her lips with the cold treat and she starts trying to suck on the red cold treat “oh Laila how did you do that she’s cried all night long, at one point I was thinking about taking her to the hospital. I called Lucas I know a hundred time but he never answer and I couldn’t get Bo I didn’t know what to do” I smile down at my niece “my mom does this with all the babies when they run a fever, we need to take the footer pj’s off her to, they hold the heat and plus this red droll will be a mess to get out” it’s not long after the baby is stripped to her diaper and is laughing that Bo comes out of his office “ Laila your mom is on her way here to be with you and Nova, Lucas was arrested yesterday and they are holding him till latter today. It seems there is nothing that can be done till then so I hate to tell you but our trip has been delayed till tomorrow” I smile at Bo and in the most calm smiling voice as I look at my niece I ask what Nova wants to know “what did my moron brother do to get arrested” Bo looks to Nova and then the floor “I don’t know the details, I never really got into it” Nova pipes up at this point “Bo DeClare you have always been a poor lier you know what’s going on and you better tell me right now or I’m callin momma and tellin her” Bo looks to me and I can see in his eyes and written all over his face what ever my brother has done is bad and he knows it will hir6 Novas feeling “ Nova I don’t know, they just said he got arrested” she looks to me and then to Bo “Laila I’m sorry I know Lu is your brother and all but he’s my husband and my rotten bad lier of a brother won’t tell me what’s going on so I think it’s time me and the baby go” I snuggle the baby closet to me I don’t want to let her go “Nova please don’t go, your right Bo knows and he should tell you even if he thinks it’s going to hurt your feelings, you still need to know. I can tell you this much what ever it is it’s bad or my father would have called and told you before now” Bo hangs his head and Nova give me a smile and silently mouths thank you to me. Bo finally looks up “ he was drunk and beat up a prostitute, he was arrested and seen a judge coming on morning on a video call. That’s all I know” before Nova can hit the roof the elevator digs again, I swear everyone he’s ever meet has a key to get up here. My mother comes off the elevator “oh my darlings I’m so sorry it took me so long to get over here. That moron son I’ve raised I promise you this my dear Nova his father has been told if he doesn’t sort him out and firmly he will be sleeping on the side walks for the rest of his married life to me” my mother tries to take the baby from me but I lean back and do my best Stuart impression and the baby laughs Nova starts asking my mother questions when the elevator digs again and three of my brothers walk off Bo makes his way to the sofa I’m on and starts playing with the baby he keeps calling Rosilin. Rhett comes over and sits next to me and starts making funny face/ at the baby, while Landon, Perry and Mark all stand around the kitchen bar. Mark notices the state of the kitchen and comments “Laila did you forget how to do dishes or are you turning lazy” I roll my eyes at him “no mr clean I didn’t, the baby was upset when she came and her mom was very tired and her uncle Bo had to go call grandpa so I dropped everything for her “ she coo’s and laughs and Mark let’s it go Rhett takes Rosilin from me and Bo pulls me to his side when I go to finish the dishes. I give him a look but he just rest his chin on my shoulder “ what are you doing” I whisper to him but he just shrugs. My mother tells us how Lucas was out drinking and was already in a bad mood with some of his misfit friends and when they left the bar a woman tried to hit on him and wouldn’t stop and he shiver her into a wall and she screamed and the police came and one thing lead to another and the woman pressed charges. He must have been in time square or some where tourists hang out for the cops to be that close. If he was with the right misfits then I’m sure the bar was more a gentlemen’s Club, Lucas has some old friends that is always no good and I think he enjoys getting into trouble sometimes. He’s the only one of us that seems to get into these kind of situations. Rhett hands the baby to Bo and he finally lets go of me and I make my way to the kitchen but half way there as I pass my mother she puts her hand on my arm “is there some place we can talk privately for a moment daughter” I nod my head and point down the hall ways I lead as she follows which feels odd because normally the rolls are reversed. We go into the guest bedroom where all my things are, I have been in here since the day Bo took my virginity but the bed is made nicely and the room is clean. I half sit half stand on the edge of the bed as soon as the door is closed my mother starts “I don’t know what has been going on in that head of yours young lady but this whole game your playing is getting on my last nerve. I don’t even want to know why you thought it was a good idea to run away the way you did. You should have known better, that young man out there has been far more understanding and kind to the situation then he could have been. This is a good match for you and your welling to throw it away and for what? A chance at having a normal boring life. Being alone your whole life is boring. You worried me sick this past year, bad your father in a state and your brothers searching all over the country for you. Your father had to call the other families and ask for them to have their people watching for you, he had to make way for people when he didn’t want to all to make sure you was found safely. Do you know what kind of mess you have made, and all to come back and do what we was asking you to do to start with” she give me a pointed look that tells me not to question her, and not to be a smart mouth sass “yes mother I do understand the mess I have made, I know I should have stayed out and seen where things went, I know you and father only have my best interest at heart. I’m sorry for my misguided actions” she give me that look she does when she knows she’s right and is puzzled when people agree so easily “I expect you to do right and mind your self am I understood” I nod “yes mother” she turns on her heels and leaves the room. As she opens the door Rhett, Landon and Perry all but fall threw it “this isn’t the bathroom Landon” Rhett says and I can’t help but laugh my mother however doesn’t find them funny “This is not how I raised you boys to act” she says as she storms past them when I leave the room and head back to the kitchen I hear Bo say my name as I go past his office so I stop “come in here please Laila and close the door behind you, will ya” I do as he ask, knowing my brothers ears will be pressed up against it given my oldest brother is only twenty four years old they still all act like they are seven. Bo is standing behind his desk and motions for me to join him so I do. Once I’m close enough he snakes his arm around me and pulls me close to his chest when I look up at him, his lips fall onto mind and at first I resist and pull away but after a moment I give up and melt into him. The man knows how to get a girl to melt, his one hand roams my body and the other stays firmly on my back pressing me into him. When he starts trailing kisses down my jaw and throat I try to catch my breath but it’s to little avail “ what are you doing Bo, your apartment is full of my family and, and …” I lose all thought when he lifts me and wraps my legs around his middle “your so beautiful ya know that, You drive me crazy with want, everything you do turns me on” he whispers in a husky voice that turns my insides to jello. He crosses his office to a little love seat he has along the side wall and sits. I’m now straddling him as he goes back to kissing me, his hands is on my hips and he is guiding me movements against him. I can feel his erection threw his trousers and my yoga pants. I’m turned on and I want more of him “this room is sound proof and the door is locked incase you was wondering” when he says that I turn into a different person and start taking my shirt off. It doesn’t take Bo long to have me and him stripped and his hands cupping my s*x “Jesus Laila your soaking” he flip me so I’m on the sofa and he’s on his knees in front of me and before I can say anything his lips are on me and he is flicking my cl*t with his tongue and I’m moaning for more. He is takes his time sucking snd licking at my center, he drives me crazy and bring me pleasure all at the same time and my body explodes for him and he kisses his way back up my body “your so responsive for me baby, you drive me crazy” he comes back up and lifts me with him and once again I find my self straddling him only this time he lines himself up to my entrance “slowly ok don’t rush just slide down slow baby ok” the second I do as he tells me his hold on my goes tighter and he leans his face into my naked breast and as I lower my self onto his erection he mumbles “Jesus you feel so good baby, your so tight, you fit me like a glove” I smile at his words and once I’m as far down as I can go we just stay that way for a minute. We don’t move an inch but then Bo’s hands move to my hips and he starts guiding me up and down back and forth. Slowly at first but after s few minutes we both start moving faster and faster my body starts to build up that delightful explosion and I cling to Bo and him to me “f**k Laila I’m gonna c*m baby tell me your ready to c*m with me baby, c*m for me Laila, c*m on my d*ck baby, that’s it let it go baby” as he speaks my body comes unglued and I splinter into a million pieces.Bo tangles his hand in my hair and pulls my screaming mouth into his and kisses me when she starts pounding into me and then his whole body starts to shack and he stills. When his hold on me relaxes we collapse in a pile of limbs on top of each other “Jesus Laila what are you doing to me” I don’t say anything I just lay there on top of him as he draws little circles on my back. There is a knock on the door and I jump out of my skin but Bo pulls me into a short kiss “it’s ok the doors locked remember, I’m going to pull out and get dressed and get it, tell who ever the h*ll it is to F off but I need you to get dress to baby ok” I nod my head not able to form words and as he withdraws himself from my body I feel like a piece of me has been removed it’s a odd feeling but the way he whimpers makes me think he feels it to. He jumps up and throws on his shirt and pants and starts to button up his shirt as he heads to the door, before he opens it he runs his fingers threw his hair and then barely cracks the door open “what” there is a pause then I hear Rhett “dude really, you two couldn’t hate each other just a little bit longer. She is my kid sister ya know, there is just some s**t I don’t need to know in life you two locking yourself in the closet and then acting like we all don’t know what the hell you two have been doing, has now made the top five of things I don’t need to witness. Nightmares man that’s what you have done to me I’m never going to be able to sleep right again. Thanks a lot pervs” I can’t help myself I laugh out load and hear my brother mumble about hormone blockers being helpful. Bo finally ask why he’s knocking to start with and Rhett tells him my father and Lucas is on their way up. With that Bo closes the door and looks at me as I finish pulling myself together “damn your sexy, ya know that?” I shrug and pull my hair into a bun on top of my head, Bo comes over and wraps his arms around my center and tries to kiss me again but I pull away “Bo you have to stop my whole family is sitting in your living room and now they know what we have been doing in here and it’s wrong we can’t do this” Bo freezes then looks at me all serious “ummm yes we can and it’s not my living room it’s ours. We can do this day and night if we want to we are married after all. This is what people do and I personally think we do it very very well and if they don’t like what we do in the privacy of our home then they are more then welcome to go to there own homes” I roll my eyes at him “that’s not what I meant and you know it. Can you please act right you ape” he rolls his eyes and takes me by the hand as we leave the room. The second we enter the living room and Lucas sees us he loses it he dives at Bo and starts throwing punches. I panic and try to pull my brother off Bo but he shoves me back and I stumble and fall. When I look back I see my brother all pulling Lucas off Bo who is now standing to his full height “Bk please he isn’t thinking right I’m beggin ya Bo please don’t” Nova begs but Bo turns and seeing me on the floor and then all hell brakes out. Bo grabs Lucas and starts throwing punches Landon and Mark grab Bo and pull him back Rhett grabs Lucas and pushes him across the room. Nova is in the middle of the whole thing with both her hands up in opposite directions her head is turning back and forth begging both of them to stop this madness. My mother has left the room with the baby, my father is just standing there not saying a thing. I go to stand and a pain shoots from my ankle up my leg and I gasp at the pain. I hobble your Bo’s side and try to calm him down, when he hears my wincing at the pain he turns his focus to me “what’s wrong?” But before I can answer Lucas starts screaming “that’s right why don’t you tend to you wh**e some more huh, seems like a good idea. Why don’t you brake her in some more before you do right by her, oh wait that’s right why buy the cow when she’ll give the milk for free for a few kind words and disgrace her family for fun” before anyone can recover and say anything my fathers voice booms threw the apartment “THAT IS ENOUGH” we all turn and look at him all but Lucas who is shooting me dirty looks Bo’s arm is around my waist supporting my weight on my ankle and I can feel him trembling with rage “ Lucas I will not stand here and put up with this kind of behavior, this is uncalled for and unwarranted. They are married and what they do behind close doors is nothing of our business” Lucas looks at me and then at Bo and smiles the most evil smile I have ever seen from him “oh is that right we’ll just the other day they wasn’t married, and you’ll never believe what I found them doing” Bo releases his hold on me “Lucas shut up or I promise I’ll kill you myself” he shouts but Lucas keeps talking “oh you don’t want me to tell them how you was f**King the a** off her before you two went and got married” I gasp at my brothers words not because they aren’t true but because he said them. Bo is on him in seconds and this time my other brother don’t rush to brake it up. My father on the other hand I can see the rage in his face. He stands walks over to where I’m standing and for the first time ever in my life he smacks me. My head flies side ways and my cheek burns where he smacked me. I hear bells in my ears but then I hear Bo scream for everyone to get out. I don’t move my head back I don’t let the tears I want to cry fall I just stand frozen and that’s when I hear Bo say the words “I don’t care if you disown her she is my wife and you will never lay hands on her again, I am king of the South and you know the accords and the punishment for abusing other heads families. She may not fall under your protection anymore but she sure as hell falls under mine. What I do with my wife in our bed has nothing to do with any of you and the second you signed the oath she was my wife if not by law then by the code and that has been good enough for me to throw down my rule over her from that second. I gave you and Lucas all the lee way there was to hunt her down and treat her the way you did, but I’m done now so you want to disown your daughter that’s fine but we leave right now for our own territory and seeing how that little s**t you have there is neither oathed nor legally married to Nova she is going with us and so is her child and I dare you or him to tell me no” as my father and brother gets on the elevator my father notices my other three brothers not moving with them “what do you three think your doing” he ask, it’s my mother who answers him tho from behind us all “we stand with the code that has been the foundation of our people for millennia and is the bedrock of our people. When you oathed Laila to be Bo’s wife he had the right to claim her from that very second, you of all people know that. Lucas is a spoiled little boy trying to play a mans game and is in the wrong, he owes Bo and his sister an apology and needs to stop all this. Bo has done far more then right by Laila then he has done by the mother of his child.” My father looks as if my mother has gutted him. I on the other hand can’t believe what I’m seeing and hearing Nova is on the sofa crying Bo is in front of me and the rage is rolling off him in waves, my mother and three brothers are standing against my father and Lucas, how did things get this messed up?. As the elevator doors start to close Lucas shouts that Bo will be sorry for this if it’s the last thing he does. The second the doors close Bo turns to me “go pack all what ever you’ll need we leave with the hour” then he turns to my mother “ Marion would you please take my sister down to her apartment and help her pack the babies belonging for the trip, if any of you would like to join us your more then welcome to but this rodeo is wheel up in 60 minutes” My mother nods and goes to Nova and they call the elevator back Rhett and Landon goes with them and they disappear Mark is left and looks to Bo “since when are you King of the south?”
