Chapter three:

"There is a whole section of houses in a nice open area my family owns. My family lives in said houses in all but one. That one we are thinking may not be used however you can stay there for as long as you need to. It's nice and well protected too so wherever those four came from that you don't want to go back to won't bug you. They'll have to get past the family in order to do so." He explains.

I smile. "That sounds lovely. Thank you and I'm sorry if we have caused trouble."

He shakes his head. "It's really no trouble at all. If my cared for employees like you need help I always do my best to help."

"Really thank you." I reach down to pick up the backpacks knowing I'll have to carry them and Nate but really I don't mind.

"Here let me help." Boss picks up the backpacks slinging one each onto his shoulders.

"You don't have to." I inform him.

"You need to carry Nate. It's no trouble for me to help you out." He waves it off. "The shop should be closed up by now except for locking up so let's go I'll take you to your new place." He heads to the doors leading out of the back room.

I shift Nate making sure to not wake him and with him in my arms bridal style I stand following boss. I hope that the four aren't out front waiting for us to come out.

He takes us to his truck out back in which I climb in letting the still sleeping Nate rest on my lap with the side of his head on the front part of my shoulder as I sit in the passenger's seat backpacks on the small seats in the back before the open back behind it. "It's amazing how close you two are. It never stops amazing me." He says as he starts up the truck.

"Yeah we share a very close bond and I will never leave him for anyone. I will always be there for him and I will always protect him no matter what." I smile in a happy way as I say those words.

"I can see that." Boss confirms without being rude. "There is no doubt that you will go to great lengths for him."

"I will go to any length needed for him." I nod as he begins driving leaving the now locked up shop with no sign of the four. "Any length at all…. If he wishes for something I will do all I can to fulfill his wish."

"You two share something pretty special." Boss says in admiration.

"Thank you." I respond with a smile.

The boss also smiles. He has been very kind to us and as long as you are a good employee he will care for you looking out for his employees.

I look down to Nate as he begins to awaken.

"We are almost there." Boss says suddenly after a bit of silence and driving.

I look up and Nate, who just pretty much woke up, look up to see where we will be living now.

It's quite a beautiful place and just as I thought it is more out in the country as I had guessed from the bit of a drive.

"Nice place." I say.

"Thank you." Boss responds with a smile. He pulls up and stops parking.

Nate shifts as I take the seat belt off.

I let him step out before me as Boss gets out from the drivers side. I grab our backpacks then step out myself shutting the door behind myself.

Boss takes the lead to where our new home.

I glance back to see if I can see any sign of the four that had been hunting us down but there's still no sign. I begin walking as I turn following Boss and Near.

We approach a lovely looking building.

There are other houses but there is also a good distance between them though it is obvious that the people look out for those living here.

The boss's family is helping each other out as we walk by they even turn to greet us warmly with warm smiles.

"This place is all yours." Boss says handing the key to Nate. "Don't hesitate to ask if you ever need anything."

"Thank you." I say. "You have no idea how much this means to us."

"It's really no problem." Boss says with a warm smile. "I'll let you get settled." He turns and walks away towards some of his family.

"Alright let's get inside." I say and Nate heads to the front door opening it with the key he was given.

We head inside and glance around.

It's like a dream house, not a mansion though obviously, as it is quite lovely.

Makes me think of those wonderful looking fancy houses that seen on TV.

"Wow this is cool!" Nate puts the key on the key rack then heads to explore our new place.

It makes me smile. "Let's pick bedrooms." I say then I pause glancing around. "As soon as we find it."

"My best guess would be upstairs." Nate starts heading up the stairs and I follow him.

Sure enough we find two bedrooms and one good sized bathroom in the upstairs area in the same hall.

"Pick which one you want to sleep in." I tell him.

He walks ahead and I follow patiently. He looks at the first bedroom there then takes a look at the other.

They are the same size and are the same looking with some differences to tell them apart.

Nate heads into the second one. "This one."

I nod. "Alright." I put his bag on his bed. "Do you need anything?"

He shakes his head. "Thank you." He says.

I nod. "I'll let you unpack." I tell him and I leave the room to let him do that. I head to my room. "I believe it's good that I got this room. It'll be easier to protect him if I can step out to be in the way of any possible intruder to keep them from getting Near." I say to myself and I begin unpacking.

Once done I head downstairs to check out the place.

A nice stair case, an open concept kitchen with an island and an overall lovely place.

I head back towards the living room that's on the other side of the stairs if you are coming from the kitchen.

Nate is heading down the stairs making me pause to look to him.

"Do you feel safe here?" I question now that he has had a feel for the place.

He nods. "Yes."

I smile and nod." That's good."

He turns and goes exploring.

I watch with a smile then I head to the living room.

Computer on the desk and we even have a TV.

I nod in approval then I head back to the kitchen. I haven't seen Nate since he went exploring but I find him sitting in a chair at the island trying it out.

It's kind of adorable to see.

I lean against a nearby wall and cross my arms over my chest watching him.

He turns to me and shares a smile.

"So it's good?" I ask.

Nate nods. "It's wonderful."

I smile more. "That's good to hear."

He gets off of the chair and comes over to me. He leans up standing a little on his toes giving my lips a small kiss. He then goes past me heading off somewhere else.

I blink then I grin.

Finally.
