Running Away - Chapter Four

	The night wore on after their dinner, each a little uneasy and
nervous. 'I can't believe I just did that.'  Jesse thought as he slowly put
away the dishes. 'What's going on' Oliver wondered as he suddenly found
himself both confused and scared. As he pondered his situation, a sudden
bell rang out, making him jump and throw the pillow he was hugging into the
air. "S-sorry! It was my cell phone." Jesse literally jumped across the
kitchen to his phone, silencing it. "I uh.. have to go get someone, will
you be okay by yourself for an hour?" Jesse blurted out as he read the text
message. 'I just met this guy, and already I'm trusting him with my house?
Too late to take it back now.' He felt guilty for even thinking this, but
at the same time knew it was a realistic concern.  "I uh... don't know..."
Oliver's eyes widened "I um..." Words seemed to fail him. "Well. you
could... come along" Jesse held out his hand.
	Together they walked out to Jesse's car, a beautiful dark green
Lexus. "Wow..." Oliver was in awe. "i-it's nothing..." Jesse blushed,
somewhat embarassed, though for what he wasn't sure. The car ride was
awkward, but at the same time, a trying situation. Jesse drove
absent-mindedly, completely focused on whatever was infront of him, all the
while, Oliver kept to himself. The foot of empty space between them may as
well have been a mile. Just as the car rolled to a gentle stop an even
gentler whimper came from within the car. "Whuh..." Jesse turned and saw
Oliver huddled in a corner, shivering. 'Crap the A/C!' He immediately
turned down the air "I'm sorry, I just forgot that you didnt have any other
clothes than those shorts and that t-shirt." He put his free hand on
Oliver's thigh.  "I-it's okay" Oliver tried to suck it up, but was still
shivering. "Here." Jesse pulled him close, he felt the cold skin of the
young boy against his own, and instantly felt as if the world had come to a
pause. 'If only this stupid red light would last forever.' He thought as
the light flashed green. They finally arrived at the nearby mall. "Hey!" A
man about Jesse's age walked up to the car and got in. "Um... hey Wes,
could you drive? I just um...  have something in my eye, it's kinda hard
for me to see." Jesse nodded to Oliver, who at this time was gently dozing
in his lap. "Ohh... sure" the man nodded. "Hey, Ollie? Let's move to the
back okay?" Jesse gently pushed oliver to a sitting position. At this point
he was so groggy that he hardly noticed as he was walked to the back of the
car. "He's cute" Jesse's friend remarked as he got into the driver's seat.
	The ride was as quiet back as it was towards the mall. The entire
time, Jesse tended to the sleeping beauty in his lap. He couldn't help but
gaze at the blond's peaceful face, as the lights from the street shone upon
his delicate features, he looked even cuter. With a strong hand he put his
arm around Oliver's waist and tried to keep him from falling off the side
of the cushion. This caused a small gasp to escape from the boy's mouth.
"Sorry, I guess that gash hasn't fully healed yet." He whispered.  Jesse
could only spend the rest of the ride gently stroking the face that had
mezmorized him, and the hair that covered his eyes, and flared out a little
at the edges. At last the car rolled up the driveway of Jesse's house, and
Wes, his neighbor just walked home. "Well, it's just us, want to go back
inside?" Jesse whispered again, not really expecting an answer. He carried
Oliver back into the house, and again, laid him on the bed. "Good night
Ollie, maybe tomorrow, we'll take care of that clothes situation." He
smiled to himself and walked into the bathroom to change clothes. "Good
night" He again smiled, and this time, feeling a little braver, he touched
his lips to Oliver's and gave him a gentle kiss. He climbed into the
opposite side of the bed, and slept, dreaming of the angel beside him.
