Okay everyone I'm going with a new guy here. There is not nearly enough Elias out there and I'm aware that he hasn't been around as long as some of the others but I'm going to bring him one step closer. I just started this one the other night and I just kept typing and typing. I've been having a lot of fun writing it. Honestly I was going to just make it a long one-shot but I just kept going so we'll see how long it goes. Please review and feel free to throw in your input or suggestions. Basically Elias moves into a new house and meets the cute neighbor girl. Thought her past causes struggle at first her and Elias have a strong connection. With more bumps in the road will they survive everything thrown at them? By the way there's another story out there call Who Wants to Walk with Elias? Great story so far I recommend that you check it out its great and I'm only a third of the way through it at this time. Anyway enough yakking, I hope you enjoy this one.
Saved By Elias Chapter 1
Tracy was finally feeling a true moment to herself and decided it would be a nice time to read a book and enjoy a glass of wine. It had been almost a month since her crazy ex boyfriend stopped by or contacted her. Her older brother had been helping her out dealing with him and trying to keep him at a distance but he had a new baby on the way and needed to focus on that. That's all Tracy ever wanted was a great guy to settle down with and start a family some day.
After getting a few chapters into the book she started to hear the faint music of a guitar. She scrunched her nose wondering where it was coming from. She set down her book and looked out her bedroom window that faced the house next to her. She saw a moving truck last week but hadn't seen much activity after that. She of course was usually busy at work or doing something around the house. After looking around for a few seconds she spotted where the noise was coming from. In the backyard of the same house she could see a guy lounging in a lawn chair by the pool. It was getting dark out and she couldn't make out much of him. It looked like he had long hair and perhaps a larger build. She went downstairs and cracked open her sliding glass door leading to her back yard. She got a much better listen from there and could hear him not just playing the guitar but singing as well. He kind of had a slow deep rock tone. She couldn't help but think he sounded kind of sexy. She listened a little longer and almost forgot she was standing there lost in the music when her little pug bolted out of the door and towards the mystery man. "Shit! Rusty! Come back here!" The man stopped playing his guitar and looked over at the little pug running up to him and then the frantic looking young woman wearing only a tank top and shorts. He also couldn't help but notice she wasn't wearing a bra either. The pug stopped right at his feet and he was reaching down to pet the dog when she came up to him. "I'm sorry about that. I don't like to let him out until I can get my fence fixed and he can't get into people's yards." She picked him up. "Well luckily he just ran to me and not into the street." He set down his guitar and stood up. "Yes I'm very happy for that. I actually could hear you and I opened my door trying to figure out where the sound was coming from and he bolted when he saw the opportunity. Thanks for making sure he didn't get away." "It's no problem; he's a cute little guy." "Yeah, that's my Rusty…my name is Tracy by the way." "Elias, it's nice to meet you." They stood there awkwardly for a few second. "You sound really good by the way. I mean I'm sure you know that but I like that kind of music. Did you write those songs? I didn't recognize any of them." "Yeah, I've written a few." "So are you in a band or are you just a solo artist?" "Actually I wrestle for WWE. But I've always loved music; no one said you could only have one passion right?" "That's right, I personally like to paint. I mean I don't know if I'll ever be famous or anything like that, but I'm happy with a brush in my hand." She glanced down and saw what she was wearing then suddenly remembered what her hair looked like and came into a slight panic. Here she was talking to this sexy man with a sexy voice and she wasn't even wearing a bra. "Well, I should probably get this little rascal inside. It was nice meeting you." She was starting to walk away. "Nice to meet you too!" He shouted. After almost reaching her door she stopped and turned around. "Oh! Welcome to the neighborhood!" He smiled back at her.
She went back inside and shut the door. She set down the dog and had to take a second to catch her breath. He was tall dark and yummy. He had muscles for days. He looked even sexier with that guitar in his arms. He had gorgeous eyes that had such personality. It didn't hurt that he seemed like a nice enough guy. But here she was wearing her pajamas with a messy bun in her hair and no make-up. Elias seemed like the type of guy who could get any girl he wanted especially being a good musician and a famous wrestler. So she figured she wasn't a likely candidate with what she looked like during their introduction. She went back upstairs and grabbed her wine downing the rest of it and going off to bed to the sound of him still playing his guitar.
The next couple of weeks she saw him only twice. She figured he was probably traveling with the WWE. She was mowing her lawn one day and he was getting his mail and he stopped to say hello and they enjoyed another small conversation. She learned a little more about his character in wrestling he learned that she worked in the finance department at the college nearby. She was sitting on her couch watching the sun slowly start to set when her cell phone starting ringing making her jump. She looked and saw it was her best friend calling. She answered it putting the phone to her ear. "Hey there girlie." Tracy answered. "Hi, so did you talk to him again yet?" Tracy could hear the eager tone in her friend' voice. "No Brenda, not since the other day when I was mowing the lawn. What is with you?" "Well I'm married and that means I don't have sex as often so I have to live vicariously through your sex life and it's been like six months since you broke it off with psycho boy and now you have this delicious piece of man candy living next door to you and you need to get on that like right now." "Oh my god, Brenda you are terrible." Tracy couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly she heard a door shut and saw the vehicle across the street parked between her and Elias' house. The sun had set by now so it was dark and it had started raining when she was on the phone so she couldn't see who it was but they looked to be coming towards her house. She quickly got off the phone with Brenda and stepped outside her front door. She was wearing an oversized hoodie and the same pajama shorts she was wearing when she met Elias.
It was seconds later that she saw it was her fucking ex coming towards her. Her heart started to pound but even if she tried to get back in her house he was too close for her to get away. "I just want to talk that's it. Please just hear me out." He begged. She crossed her arms. "Don't touch me and don't take another step towards me. What are you doing here Breck? I have told you to stop contacting me. It's been months since I've heard from you. I thought you finally moved on." "Tracy I love you. How could I move on? You mean everything to me. Why can't you see that?" He looked so sad both arms helplessly at his sides. "Because you are too possessive. You want to have all this control over me. I just want to be with someone who makes me happy and lets me just be who I am. We were together for two years and I should've noticed I wasn't happy when a year into it I wasn't even painting anymore. You took so much from me. I couldn't even recognize myself when I looked in the mirror. You need to get some help and just move on…please." She started to cry. She was starting to get frustrated because of the emotion she was still feeling. She was well over him but the fact that he still made her cry and made her so angry is what got to her. She didn't know what she was going to do, but it was like someone was looking out for her because she saw Elias pull into his driveway. He looked over as he was getting his duffle bag out of the trunk. He threw it over his shoulder and was walking towards his door when he looked over again and could read the body language of Tracy. She looked scared, he knew it wasn't any of his business but he couldn't just walk away.
He threw his bag on his door step and starting walking over. Breck then noticed that he was approaching them. "Look guy, this doesn't concern you okay? I'm just talking to my girlfriend." "Breck, I am not your girlfriend anymore. You seriously need to leave…please." By now she was feeling embarrassed because the man she wanted out of her life was getting in the way of the man should wouldn't mind having in her life. Elias got pretty close to Breck. "I think it would be best that you listen to the lady and leave. There doesn't need to be any trouble." Elias said in a very firm tone that made chills go up her spine. She knew right there that Breck was in deep shit if he didn't move his ass. Breck decided he was going to be stupid and come nose to nose with Elias and puff out his chest. Tracy's heart started to pound feeling the tension. She stepped in between them and put her hands on Breck's chest. She looked him in the eye struggling to get him to look at her and not Elias. "Breck! You really need to leave right now. This probably won't end well for you if you don't." "Oh really? Your new little boyfriend going to kick my ass?" "Breck please just stop!" She pleaded but was suddenly grabbed by Breck and thrown to the ground. Now it wasn't just about talking with her it was proving something to the stranger in front of him. Elias didn't take it very well when he saw Tracy being thrown to the ground. She grabbed her wrist in pain. Elias shoved Breck away from her. Breck then went towards Elias taking a swing. He moved out of the way and threw a hard right to Breck's gut taking him to the ground. "You really need to leave now!" Elias said. Tracy finally got up. "Just go Breck, don't make me call the cops." Breck stood straight and was coughing. He pointed at Elias. "This isn't over asshole." Tracy started to cry feeling like her world was just crumbling all over again. It was yet another reminder why she wasn't with him anymore. Breck walked away and got in his car speeding off. Tracy was wiping away some tears when Elias approached her. The dark look he had in his eyes when dealing with Breck was immediately gone and she saw the sweeter eyes this time. He grabbed her wrist and looked at it. She winced at first. "Shit, I think it's sprained. Just great, that's going to make work fun for me. Are you okay?" She looked up at him with concern. "Better than him." She laughed making him laugh too. "I am so sorry about all of that. But thank you for helping me." "Do you have a restraining order against that guy, because you need one if you don't." "I guess I do now, six fucking months ago I broke up with him. He just won't go away. I haven't seen him in almost two months I thought for sure he moved on. I don't know what to do, he's infatuated with me. I'm just trying to move on. Damn it, I really am sorry about that." "It's really okay, as long as you're safe that's all that matters." She looked up at him. She couldn't understand where these feelings were coming from but she felt the need to hug him. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Thank you again, you really are so sweet." He wrapped his arms around her hugging her back. She got goose bumps at his touch. He was still basically a stranger to her and yet she couldn't remember the last time she felt safe.
They separated from the hug and looked at each other. "Well I would like to think he would be extremely stupid to come back tonight. I should go wrap my wrist in something and put some ice on it." "Get that restraining order, don't forget." She looked back at him and saw the look of worry in his eyes. "I will I promise. Or maybe I could just hire you as a body guard." He smiled back at her as she walked back into her house locking the door.
The next day her boss who had turned out to be a friend sent her to the doctor to get the wrist looked at as soon as she walked in the door seeing how swollen it was. After insisting Tracy lost the battle and went to the doctor. Luckily it only was a sprain. She was given her directions on taking care of it. When leaving the doctor she saw it was almost one. There was no point in going back to work even her boss let her. She kept playing back Elias' words about getting the restraining order against Breck in her head and figured he would be pretty upset with her if he found out she didn't do it. She got in her car and went to the police station and even after offering the cops to talk to Elias about what happened the previous night she was pleased that they were already going to issue the order of protection against Breck and that he would be served sometime later that day. Tracy decided to take advantage of the early say off work and shop for a new dress seeing as the weather was getting warmer. She got a text from Brenda wondering what happened. She did end the call abruptly and completely forgot all about it. She proceeded to update her on the whole thing. Of course Brenda had to make it sexual and said that "You should take your knight in shining armor and bang him for saving your ass." Tracy shook her head at the text as she threw the light pink dress on the counter to pay for it.
Tracy was pulling in the driveway when she spotted an acoustic guitar on her door step with a little note taped to it. She got out of her car and grabbed her beg and purse and ripped the note off the guitar. "I have found these to come to good use bashing them over the heads of my enemies in the ring. Keep it handy for next time dumbass comes over. Love Elias." Tracy laughed at the note and picked up the guitar. She went into her house and thought that it was such a nice day she would throw on her bathing suit and sit in the back yard and lounge with a margarita. She leashed up Rusty to the table she had near the back door so he could at least enjoy some of the sun as well.
Elias pulled up to his house after a session at the gym. He had his gym bag in hand and was walking up to the front door when he heard the faint playing of a guitar coming from what sounded like Tracy's backyard. He smiled when he realized she was playing the guitar he gave her. He redirected and went to her backyard and the site took his breath away. She was wearing a dark blue bikini strumming away at the guitar. He already thought she was cute when he first saw her that night. Now here she was wearing a very flattering bikini enjoying a past time favorite of his. He watched her for a few more seconds before showing up in her line of sight. She stopped and set the guitar down standing up. Her cheeks were bright red."I see you found the tool of defense to have a different function." He raised his eyebrows smiling at her. "Um…I used to play when I was younger. I wasn't that great but I guess when you left it on my doorstep I thought I would see what I still had." "You were pretty good, missed a couple notes but you got the gist of it." "Thanks. I just don't have the smoothness of it down." "Well here, hold on a second." He went into his house and after a couple minutes he reappeared with his guitar in hand. He sat down in one of the other chairs and started playing the same song she was just trying to play. He could tell she was playing Smoke on the Water. She sat down watching him. He stopped and looked over at her. "See, just like that." She gave him a silly look. "Are you kidding me? You make that look so damn easy." "Okay fine, here." He stood up and grabbed her hand making her stand up. He got behind her and placed her hands on the guitar. "Just start playing like you normally would." She took a second from being nervous playing on command for him and the fact that he was right behind her and he smelled damn good. She started playing and after a few seconds he put his hands over hers guiding them differently. They kept going like this for a couple minutes and she could feel and tell the difference. He eventually left her hands and she just kept going on by herself. She got really excited and started jumping up and down. "Wow that is so much better." Elias couldn't help but giggle at how cute she was right then. "You just had to get the movement down. Honestly you're a natural." She blushed again. "Thanks, I did practice a lot as a kid so…" He sat back down and grabbed his guitar again. He started playing and she recognized it was Hurt, more the Johnny Cash version. She started to play around messing with the strings playing with him giving it a different sound as he suddenly started singing. She had to fight the urge not to stop because he was sounding so sexy. But she found the courage to sing along with him. They were just lost in the moment singing and playing together that one song turned into a half hour of songs before they were interrupted by her phone ringing. She glanced over and saw it was Breck calling her. "Shit, I'm guessing he just got served with restraining order." "Glad you went and got that. But the first thing he does is call you?" She was so frustrated; she was having such a peaceful moment enjoying the guitar with Elias and in comes tornado Breck. She reluctantly answered the phone. "What Breck?" "You fucking got a restraining order against me?" "Yes I did and calling me isn't going to help. You need to respect this and move on." She hung up and put the phone down. She took a deep breath but it was only seconds later that he was calling her again. She cancelled the call then turned her phone off. "Well I could use some food; I would love to cook you up some dinner as a thank you for last night…and the guitar. I make a really good homemade sauce for spaghetti?" He smiled. "That does sound good, let me go get changed into something else and I'll be over to help you." "Okay great."
Well everyone, I think I'm going to cut it off there for now. I really hope you liked it so far. Again please review and let me know what you think and again any suggestions of what you may want me to throw in here. Thanks again.
