Chapter 20
I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you
Seth POV
I watched Kate as she practically inhaled her food, Richie came back an hour later he told me he gave the cops the slip and were now racing in the wrong direction. Richie lit a cigarette and looked over at me. I was pissed at him. And he knew it.
"So what now?" Kate looked at us expecting for some kind of answer, truth be told, I had no idea what to do now, the plan I had arranged with Pritchard and Vanessa wasn't due to happen for three months, which meant we had a lot of time to kill.
"Well, we need cash" Richie stated looking over at Kate "So we need to get some"
Kate seemed to understand what he meant I shook my head "Jesus Richie"
Snapping his head to me he narrowed his eyes at me "I've told Kate everything Seth, she knows it won't be sunshine and rainbows"
"Doesn't make it right Richie" throwing my stuff on the table I made my way outside for some air.
When did things get so fucking complicated
O yeah, the moment I saw Kate.
Kate's POV
Richie ran a hand through his hair
"Give him time Richie" standing up I settled on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck I kissed his cheek softly and he smiled that shy smile I love so much.
He held onto my hips tightly, not letting me go.
"I know" he began to kiss and nip my neck which only led to one thing
"Don't even think about it"
He pouted, actually pouted "we've had sex once and now your withdrawing it? That's harsh"
Giggling I kissed him "no offence Richie but there is no way in hell I am having sex with you here" looking around the room I felt a shiver drawl up my spine "a car is more sanitised"
"Really" he grinned like the cat ate the canary, I tapped him on the shoulder
"Behave"
Nipping my bottom lip I moaned as he whispered "Always"
Richie's POV
The sky had turned dark, the soft breeze cooled my skin. I just got out of the shower to be welcomed with the sight of Kate curled into a ball sleeping on the bed, I chuckled as she used my blazer as a protector against the mattress, she had a point earlier, this place was filthy.
Seth came beside me and gave me a beer.
Both of us sat in silence outside on the porch.
"It's been a crazy couple of months" he spoke, taking a sip of his corona
Chuckling lightly I replied "Yep"
He looked over his shoulder and saw a sleeping Kate, I don't think he realized it, but a soft smile played on his lips.
"She's one hell of girl" he commented, I don't think he was speaking to me though, more like outside thinking.
"Damn right" I clicked my beer with his.
I grinned evilly as my brother took a big swig of his beer I pounced "I had sex with Kate"
He spat out the beer and choked
Kate's POV
It was so hot
Unravelling myself I opened my eyes to be greeted with the sight of a sleeping Seth, something shifted behind me and I saw Richie.
Naughty thoughts of their hands on my bare skin suddenly wrapped around my mind. I clenched my legs together and took a steady breath, maybe one day.
My bladder screamed in protest so unfortunately I had to get up.
Half an hour later.
I felt slightly better having a shower, I used the cheap two in one shampoo and conditioner, I tied my hair up in a messy bun. I heard shuffling in the room knowing the brothers were up.
I stomach growled hungrily
Looking up I smiled softly at Seth who smiled back, he had stripped off his shirt so I could only gawk at him. He laughed lightly
"I think I might have to get more tattoos if you like it that much"
Blushing I remembered what he said to me
The day I wanted to get one, he would come with me
"I want one"
He grinned and pursed his lips "Now? 'cause that's gonna be difficult sweetheart"
Turning to him I pecked his lips "I'll go by myself"
Shaking his head "no way in hell, we'll get you a tattoo"

Richie was driving the car he stolen, I must admit I liked this car. Seth was sleeping in the back seat, I hung my feet out the window, my hand loosely holding Richie's as we drove to…well anywhere.
The moment, if it wasn't so frightening, was perfect.
I saw a convenience store just ahead
"I'll be back shortly, anything you want?"
"See if they have Jolt, it's a drink"
Kissing his lips he handed me some money. The let out a sigh as the cool air conditioning cooled my heated skin. I smiled politely at the clerk, he smiled back. I picked up what we would need, even though it wasn't essential, I picked up some tequila and coronas for Seth and Richie.
The basket was filled with food and drink
"My girl you can eat" he had tanned skin and all white teeth, he was kind of cute, he looked to be my age, but he had nothing on the Geckos
Shrugged I helped him put my stuff in the bag.
It all happened so quickly one minute we were talking pleasantly and then he went as white as a sheet, frowning at him he looked to the tv which hung from a very shaky stand. My blood went cold and bats flew in my stomach.
O my god!
A picture was shown of Seth and Richie, a mug shot and mine when I was vacationing with my family last summer popped up.
The news reporter spoke "It is believed Richie Gecko and Kate Fuller were the culprits responsible for the break out of Seth Gecko. The Gecko brothers have a long history of violence, police are now looking into a possible kidnap, the Geckos were neighbours with the Fullers"
This couldn't be happening the clerk looked at me, his eyes widened with fear
I grabbed my stuff and ran to the car.
The Geckos were bickering over who should drive but stopped as I got in the car
"They have your and my picture on TV"
Without another word Richie stepped on the gas.
(+)(+)
I began to hum the song I had planned to sing at church, maybe it wasn;t so appropriate but I like it. I chuckled as it seemed to fit my predicament.
Richie was now sleeping in the back and Seth drove in the night. My eyelids began to feel heavy as I held tightly onto Seth's hand.
Things will be different now, new dangers, new surroundings.
Did I regret it?
No
Because when it comes to the Geckos I would risk everything for them
And I know they would risk everything for me.
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what have I done?
I've fallen in love with a man on the run
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please
Don't take that sinner from me
Oh don't take that sinner from me
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what do I do?
I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you
He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone
Oh I just wanna take him home
Oh I just wanna take him home
Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he's somewhere between
A hangman's knot, and three mouths to feed
There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose
He did what he had to do
Oh he did what he had to do
Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo
Give me the burden, give me the blame
I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame
Give me the burden, give me the blame
How many, how many Hail Marys is it gonna take?
Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not
He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please
Don't take that sinner from me
Oh don't take that sinner from me
Part two should be up soon xx
