Profit of Innocence: Love Kills
Lover's Tiff
I’d woken up near noon the next day; Malachi was already gone, I guessed that he was in the cornfield, once I’d gotten up, had my shower, did my hair and makeup, gotten dressed, then left for the field, I immediately recognized him; I quickened my pace, almost running, but came to a halt when I saw another girl wrap her arms around Malachi; it was Ruth, she‘d seen me before Malachi had and gave me a cold smirk, that was when Malachai saw me staring in disbelief and run off, first his gaze was cold, once he realised it was me, he took Ruth’s hands off from around his waist and ran into the field after me; within seconds he grabbed me around the waist and took me into a private area;
“WHO WAS SHE? WHO WAS THAT PREGNANT GIRL? WHY DID SHE HAVE HER ARMS WRAPPED AROUND YOU? Do you just impregnate one girl and move on to the next one-YOU CANNOT JUST DO THAT TO SOMEBODY THAT YOU LOVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY LOVE BACK! Maybe I was wrong in ever loving someone like-” I was cut off by his lips that were pressured on mine, he kissed me softly; then he hugged me tightly;
“you love me?” he gave me a questioning look, I nodded as my head rested on his chest, I could hear his heart beat, he then took my hands in his and looked at me, he‘d told me about Ruth, how they were once together and she‘d gotten pregnant with his child, how he offered to be there for her, but she never wanted him in her life again and couldn’t wait for him to die at nineteen, but now that Jayde was here, she wanted him back, she was only jealous, and how making terrible death threats about the me and his unborn child, I thought Ruth was a tad crazy, that was when Malachi kissed me and took my hand; “c’mon, I want to take you somewhere”
I followed him whilst smiling; “alright, we’re almost here, now close your eyes” he smirked; “I swear to god that if I trip and fall” I smirked, however he basically ignored me; “where are we going?” I asked in an annoyed tone of voice; “I told you a somewhere special, I cant tell you, it’s a surprise, now shut up and no peeking!” he tightened his grip on my hand as we walked further up a small hill, then stopped; “alright now on the count of three, open your eyes, one…two…three and OPEN!” I opened my eyes and gasped as I saw the glistening, sparkly, crystal clear water before me;
“oh my god, wow! Malachi, this is…” I was too stunned and couldn’t finish my sentence, however, Malachi made it easier and kissed me sweetly; “you up for a swim?” he asked as he held my hands; “I don’t have a bathing suit though” she giggled; “well love…guess you’ll have to strip” I playfully hit his arm; “perv much? Well if I have to strip, you’ve got to do it too, lemme see them abs” I smirked as Malachi took his shirt off, his body was nicely toned, he had a nice six pack on him;
“wow…n-not bad, not bad at all, guess it’s my turn then” he smiled and nodded approvingly; I took my jacket and shirt off, his eyes went directly to my chest, I clicked my fingers at him; “no need to drool” I giggled, then looked at his black jeans; “now off with the jeans” he nodded and smiled; “yes ma’am!” he revealed his black boxers to me, I nodded approvingly, as I took my shorts off, wearing a thong, Malachi grinned; “I’ll admit this is the first time I’ve worn a thong, I got to admit, it’s kinda annoying-what are you doing???” he picked me up over his shoulder and chucked me in the water, it was freezing, I came back up to the surface shivering, but giggling; “that was uncalled for!” I said as he dived in after me, splashing me; “thanks so much” I said whilst smirking; “you’re welcome darling”.
Once we were in the lake, Malachi had me trapped, I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him softly, yet passionately, his hand had moved from under my hair, down my back, down to my area, where he began to tease me a little, I gasped as he moved two strong fingers into my panties and deep inside me, I became tense and moaned as he moved his fingers faster, I tilted my head back as he kissed my neck more, leaving several hickies on me; he’d taken his fingers out and kissed me more, I had my leg wrapped around his waist, I kissed him on the lips then looked at him, I smiled softly, however he didn’t return it, I knew this was normal for him, and tried to kiss him again, but he turned away, I knew something was wrong as I sat up behind him and rest my head on his shoulder;
“what’s wrong?” I whispered as I kissed him on the neck and shivered a little, he stood up and began to get dressed again; “I’m sorry, I cannot lead you on like this, there’s something I need to tell you” I immediately stood up; “what’s going on? Whatever it is we can work it out, we will work it out…right?” He shook his head as he chucked my clothes at me, I looked at him as I began to get dressed; “don’t you love me? What have I done?” he cupped my face and kissed me; “you’ve done nothing wrong, you understand that? Absolutely nothing wrong, at the ceremony last night, Isaac said that He Who Walks Behind The Rows came to him in a dream and said that when we reach the age of eighteen…we must sacrifice ourselves”
I looked at him; “I thought we had to be nineteen to sacrifice ourselves? Either way you’re not eighteen til next year, so you’re okay…you are aren’t you?” tears began to fill my eyes; “I‘m eighteen next month, my birthday is in October” I immediately stood up and took a few steps back; “no…you cant, please, don’t, we’ll leave this place when my mom gets me this weekend you can come home with me and get away from this, leave these stupid laws” he took my hands in his and tightened his grip; “if I was to run off now, they’ll come after me, and you, you’re my main priority, I don’t want you to get hurt or killed, it is in His will” I took my hands out of his, and moved back more; “of course, if its in his will, it’s the legal thing to do right? Well if this is the law of god then I wish there were no god!” he cupped my face with his hand; “DO NOT BLASPHEMY HIM! I AM going to do this-” I smacked his hand away;
“well I’ll do it too, I’ll sacrifice myself on the same night, either that or you come home with me and forget all this, please….” he shook his head; “don’t be selfish, my life is not worth you taking yours” I shook my head; “stay with me then, please” he shook his head, I stepped back, tears streaming down my face, as he tried placing his hand upon my cheek, I slapped his hand away and ran off crying.
“WHO WAS SHE? WHO WAS THAT PREGNANT GIRL? WHY DID SHE HAVE HER ARMS WRAPPED AROUND YOU?
