Chapter Six

As one week passed, life settled into somewhat of a routine. Talkative Marcus drove a quiet Betsie to work each day, often sharing tales of Jonah’s childhood, and then waited around until she was ready to go home. Evenings were family time as everyone was around enjoying dinner together and sharing stories from their day. While no one really saw Luke during the night, everyone slept better knowing he was watching over them.

Betsie enjoyed the family meals the best. It reminded her of what she’d always wanted to be a part of a real family. Each took turns making dinners and some nights they played cards or watched movies on the television. Marcus loved making everyone laugh. He often cracked jokes at the other’s expenses, but Betsie liked trying to beat Marcus at his own word games.

Sometimes talk turned to Johnny’s murder, but there wasn’t any updates. Betsie didn’t want to share what she overheard that night because she wasn’t clear on exactly what had occurred. What if I told them and an innocent man was arrested? The guilt would eat me alive. She often snuck longing looks at Jonah when he wasn’t looking. Each night Jonah would walk her to her bedroom and kiss her goodnight on the forehead.

She longed for more than those chaste kisses but couldn’t speak her needs to him. I’m unsure of Jonah’s feelings. Does he feel sorry or does he find me attractive? Lying in bed at night, Betsie would fantasize about Jonah touching her body with desire. She longed for his strong hands to play with her breasts and push her down on the bed while he claimed her.

Jonah was having similar desires. It was all he could do to stop himself each night from throwing her on the bed and pealing her clothes off to expose that lush body that haunted his dream. I don’t want her to think that I’m taking advantage of her being here, or that I act like this with all women. I’m fascinated by her strength in handling the attempt on her life and the way she finds humor in everything. But there’s something about her pixie-like face, tantalizing body, and sexy mouth that I can’t stop wanting.

So they lay in bed separated by a wall afraid to share their true feelings but ached for each other. Sexual tension and frustration built inside them waiting for an explosion.

Work had also settled into a routine for Betsie. Chalking up the incidents to just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, she wasn’t expecting it when trouble came.

The drive into work on Tuesday was dreary with the incessant showers. The weather was mild for late October. Puddles filled the street and the miserable rain made everyone grouchy. With a quick wave bye as Marcus dropped Betsie off at the main office door to Anderson Trucking, she shrugged out of her raincoat holding it in two fingers. “Hello Miss Hildebrand. The weather’s quite yucky today.”

“Yes, it’s bleak outside.
