The Outlaw

The two of them went to a park nearby, lost in the calming silence the two were enveloped in.

Lilith sat on one of the bench with Gerardo following her.

Lilith looked up in the sky which was filled with thousands of twinkling stars.

“I never apologized for my behavior when I met you..” Gerardo suddenly spoke breaking the silence. Lilith looked at him with no trace of emotion on her face, “You can now!” Lilith said teasingly with a smile.

Gerardo rolled his eyes with a smile on his face, “I am so sorry for the way I treated you for the past year. I was a dick and that was very immature of me!” He said honestly.

“You won’t be an asshole to me again, right?” Lilith raised her brow at him.

Gerardo looked at the goddess in front of him, enchanted in her beauty, “I won’t! But I can’t promise about the future bickering..” Gerardo threw his hands up in surrender.

Lilith let out a chuckle, “Neither will I! But I have to agree, bickering with you was a great pass time!” She said.

“Same!! Half the time I used to say shit just to see you angry.. kinda makes my day!” Gerardo said guiltily with a chuckle.

“I, too, am sorry for being a bitch to you.” Lilith apologised.

“Apology accepted!” Gerardo winked at her, stretching his arms out, slumping back on the bench. After that silence followed the two untill they heard the sound of moaning coming from behind a bush. Gerardo and Lilith looked at each other with humour on their faces. A light bulb went off in Lilith’s head and she stood up pulling out her phone.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Gerardo went behind her and tried to take her phone without making too much noise, “What are you going to record them? Pervert!” Gerardo said seeing this new side of her.

She hushed him, “No you dumbass! I am going to scare them!” She said pulling back her phone. With a creepy smile Lilith typed something on her phone while Gerardo watched her intrigued.

As the two grown up children approached the bush, the sound of moaning and groaning increased.

Lilith took Gerardo’s phone and did the same thing.

Gerardo’s POV

I curiously saw Lilith put my phone on the ground while hers was still in her hands. We backed away to a near by tree, all this whe Lilith’s nose was buried to the phone.

After she typed something on her phone, a weird noise began to play.

A bone chilling voice sung,

‘Hickory dickory dock. The mouse went up the clock

The clock struck one. The mouse fell down

Hickory dickory dock

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

Hickory dickory dock. I ate the filthy mouse.

The mouse was good but the humans behind the bush.

Will taste so much better.

Hahahahahahaha’

The two people cried in horror and ran away without even covering their nakedness. Lilith rolled on the ground laughing loudly, I joined her laughing loudly.

“What the fuck is wrong with you??” I asked her laughing.

“Di-did you see their FACES????!!!” Lilith yelled laughing.

“You’re fucking twis–” I was interrupted by a loud, “HEY!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS DOING??” I heard a boy’s voice.

When I looked at the direction of the voice I saw two naked guys looking angrily at us. I quickly picked up my phone and pulled Lilith on her feet.

“Let’s go!” I said laughing loudly as the two of us ran down the same path from where we came. I could still hear the two young boys cursing at us while Lilith was busy giggling.

“NEXT TIME DONT FUCK BEHIND A BUSH!! GO TO A MOTELLLLL” Lilith yelled at them before we hopped on her car and she drove away.

“YOU SICKOS!!” We heard of the the boy yell at us.

“COVER YOUR HICKORY DICKORY DICK!” Lilith yelled laughing at her silly joke.

“Just drive you, idiot!” I chuckled looking at her.

She looked at me with a wide smile, “Wanna see something?” She asked me eagerly, almost bouncing one her seat.

I nodded at her with a smile, I have never seen Lilith so carefree,,,, so bubbly.

She seemed to have taken a full 180 turn, going from a cunning lawyer to a carefree girl. Her eyes lit up with a strange light, her face glowed like diamonds and her laughter.. god that laughter!

It makes my stomach do that funny.. thingie , Flynn always talks about. You know like your floating in the sky with warm clouds wrapped around you making you feel something.

I don’t know how else to describe it honestly, all I know that she makes me feel… complete.

I jerked when the car stopped abruptly, without giving me a second to comprehend, Lilith jumped out and sat on the front hood of the car.

Without asking her a single question I followed her and sat by her side.

“It’s my happy place, when I have too much going on in my life… I come here. This place helps calm me down.” Lilith said looking into the dark mountain range.

She was lost in her own world looking ahead. But I couldn’t stray my eyes from her face. She looked so vulnerable and lost.

“People have always assumed that being alone when you’re at your lowest is dangerous but I think otherwise. When you’re at your lowest… You need self support more than other people. Unless and untill you give yourself a push to come out of the dark hole, no matter what others do.. you’ll never be able to come out of it.” She whispered, a memory that I had buried deep inside me suddenly resurfaced.

“Even if you come out of the hole, it never really leaves you. It’s always with you. Some people manage to prioritise themselves and crawl out of the hole,

While some completely ignore the existence of it and forever stay in denial.

And the rest fall deep into the hole, letting it consume every single existence of them. But they have to act like they’re okay for their loved ones…” I whispered looking ahead.

I could feel her stare on the side of my face, “Which one are you?” She whispered coming close to me.

“Third” I replied biting my lip.

“Cheers to not being alone in that hole!” She said. I looked at her with a small smile.

“Cheers!” I said.

The darkness around us slowly started to disappear as the sun rose. We booth looked ahead at the magical scene forgetting about all our problems.

******End of flash back******

I saw Lilith leave for her room, my eyes stayed on her untill she was out of sight, “You ARE trying to pursue her!” I heard Orlando say as a matter of fact. I rolled my eyes and looked at him with a poker face, “Congratulations for telling me the obvious.” I said looking back to the direction Lilith disappeared to.

“She is made for me and I for her. I’ll do whatever it take to make her mine!” I said promising myself, “I won’t let her go!” I added.
