Betrayed: Dark beginnings (8 page)

chapter fifteen

Present day – Cumbria

Jordan walked to Elizabeth’s house and knocked loudly on the door making flakes of paint fall onto his trainers.

Elizabeth answered and looked at Jordan brightly.

“You want to come out?” He asked sweetly.

“Don’t really feel like it.” She said honestly.

“Come on, you need some time out of the house.” He persisted.

“No I am happy being inside.” She relented. He grabbed her hand and attempted to pull her out the door. She huffed and tugged her hand from his.

“Come on.” He pleaded. Elizabeth sighed and rolled her eyes.

“Fine, but I’m only going out for a couple hours.” She knew that she had loads to do, but she guessed a couple hours out would not do any harm. She grabbed her coat off the hook and looked to Cecile.

“I’ll be back later.” She huffed.

“Ok.”

Elizabeth grabbed Jordan’s arm and dragged him out the door.

“Where would you like to go then?” Jordan looked to her.

“You decide.” She sighed.

She led him towards an opening of an abandoned overgrown field. Elizabeth pushed open the rotting gate whilst Jordan shrugged away s piece of nettle that had attached itself to his jeans.

“So where are you taking me?” Jordan said looking around to the seemingly never ending fields. Elizabeth stopped and lied down.

“Here.” She said quietly and closed her eyes.

“Are you serious?” She did not reply. He nodded his head and laid himself next to her. He felt the cold air sweep at his hair. He listened to Elizabeth’s breathing and felt sleepy.

They stared up to the stars. It looked so perfect, like small diamonds on a rich black canvass. The moon was full, and there was not a cloud in sight. He felt perfect with Elizabeth next to him and felt happier than he had ever felt. 

“Are you ok anyway?” He said quietly. She turned her head to his.

“Yeah, are you?” He knew this was a lie. She looked so anxious lately.

“I am very happy.” He smiled at her and placed his hand on hers.  She shot him an anxious smile.

“Do you want to go somewhere else?” She got up and pulled Jordan up with her.

“Ok.” They walked out of the field and back onto the road.  They reached the shop near town.

“Wait here.” Elizabeth said as she skipped off into the shop. Jordan stood there uncomfortably and fiddled with the strings on his jacket. . She walked out and shook a bottle of vodka naughtily at Jordan.

“Fancy a drink?” She smirked.

They took in turns to drink the foul tasting liquid. Jordan had no idea why Elizabeth liked it, but he drank it anyway.

He could feel his worries slipping away with every gulp. They had not walked far when a group of men in their twenties who were merrily singing a football song stopped and stared straight at Elizabeth.

“Hey hot stuff.” One of the guys said sloppily. He stumbled clumsily towards her.

“I have a boyfriend.” Elizabeth gestured to Jordan.

“So?”  The man took a step forwards towards Elizabeth.

Jordan stepped in front of her and clenched his fists. The man retreated quickly; Jordan smirked until he realized it was only because the man had seen another group walking by. He looked to Jordan angrily.

“Shame.” He said as he walked off with the rest of his group.

“Assholes.” Elizabeth shouted to them.

The man turned around and shouted back
.

“You’re lucky this time.” Elizabeth turned and ran at them, throwing her bottle of vodka over the men. Elizabeth and Jordan turned and ran away quickly, laughing. They rushed past the buildings. Jordan kept falling into things and Elizabeth had to keep going back to help him.

“You’re a pain in the ass.” Elizabeth said breathlessly.

“But I’m your pain in the ass.” Jordan said with a big grin.

They stopped running when they reached the poorly lit park. She leant against a tree laughing. Jordan slumped to the floor, drunk, and felt damp grass through his jeans. The world spun around him.

“I’m so drunk.” He slurred. Elizabeth laughed and lay down next to him.

“What do you want do now?” She laughed.

“I don’t mind, along as it’s with you.” He turned to her and kissed her hard. He pressed himself against her and burped
.

“Nice.” She said trying to push hi
m away from her. Jordan laughed.

“I love you Elizabeth.” He said sloppily.

“You’re drunk. You don’t know what you’re saying.” She said quietly.

“I do, I love you so much.” Jordan said as he began kissing her neck.

“Jordan, stop it. You don’t mean what you’re saying.” She said as she shuffled herself away from him and got to her feet.

“Elizabeth, look you need
… no… shh... umm to listen to me… I am not that drunk. I wanted you, I mean want you.” Jordan slurred and pulled himself up and stumbled towards her, pulling her tightly against him.

“Let’s go home.” Elizabeth said disappointed. He put his arm around her and they trudged home.

“You can stay at mine tonight.” Elizabeth said as they reached the edge of the woods.

“I like that idea.” Jordan tried to say seductively, but instead tripped over a branch.

Elizabeth helped him up and led him to her house.  She pushed open the door, Cecile laughed when she saw Jordan.

“Having fun?” She lifted an eyebrow.

“He is.” Elizabeth said sternly as she carried Jordan up the stairs.

Jordan fell onto the bed and pulled her down with him.

“I don’t feel very well.” He said as he wrapped himself in her quilt.

“I know.” She said softly and combed her fingers through his hair.

“I love you.” he said quietly before passing out. She stared at him for a few moments and breathed heavily.

“I love you too.” She whispered. She hated herself for it, but she could not help how she felt. She pulled the quilt over herself and stared at the door, tears prickling at her eyes.

She buried her face in the quilt and bit her lip. She tried to sleep but the sickness she felt would not go away.

chapter sixteen

Elizabeth woke up early and walked into the bathroom.

She splashed cold water on her face and looked at herself in the mirror. She was aggravated with herself. Why on earth did she say she loved him? She did not, she could not.

She bit down hard on her lip and walked back into the bedroom. She stared at Jordan as he lay peacefully on the bed. The sun shone through the window highlighting his dark brown hair. She sighed deeply

“Jordan, wake up. You need to leave.” Jordan stirred and opened his eyes.

“What? What time is it?” He said squinting and holding the side of his head.

“Ten o’ clock, my aunt is having some friends over.” She lied.

“Ok, I’ll just umm… grab my clothes then.” He pushed the quilt back and stumbled out of bed. He got dressed slowly. Elizabeth walked over to her dressing table and pulled her hair into a ponytail. Jordan mumbled behind her.

“I’m off, see you later.” He did not even look in her direction.

“See you later.” She huffed.  She knew he did not mean what he said last night.

“By the way Lizzie I meant what I said last night.” Jordan said quietly before closing the door. It was as if he could hear her thoughts.

Elizabeth sat on the bed and buried her head in her hands. She did not know how to feel now, but pushed Jordan out of her thoughts. She put on her lipstick and got changed.

She hurried down the stairs and looked at the time. It was only half ten, she had hours until Lorcan turned up. She wished she had not let Jordan go. She thought it was much later than it was. She slid her phone from her pocket and called him
.

“Hey, I know I just asked you to leave, but my aunt isn’t having her friends over until about three. Do you want to come back?” There
was a small pause on the phone.

“Yeah, I’ll come back now.” He replied and she hung up the phone. The truth is she wanted to spend every moment she could with him, before tonight. She felt guilty but knew she could not back out now.

Jordan let himself in and walked into the living room.

“Hey.” He stood in the doorway awkwardly.

“Sorry about last night.” He said quietly, looking down to the floor.

“You are forgiven.” Elizabeth said smiling. He eased up and sat next to Elizabeth. He put his arm around her waist and squeezed her tightly against his own body.

He could not stop smiling since she had agreed to be his girlfriend. He had never felt this way about anyone. His eyes lit up when he looked at her and hers when she looked at him. She kept pushing her feeling about him to the back of her mind, but they kept surfacing.

Cecile walked past and looked into the living room. She could see that they were besotted with each other and was worried that Elizabeth would throw it all away. She knew Elizabeth did not trust men, and felt vulnerable if she cared for anyone.

Cecile walked in to the kitchen, today was her day off and she decided she would take a trip to the shops to get a newspaper and chocolate. She was planning to walk back home, sit in her room and have a nice glass of wine.

“Elizabeth, I am off down the shops, do you want anything?” Cecile said as she grabbed her coat.

“No thanks.” Elizabeth’s voice carried through the wall. Cecile walked out the house into the brisk cold air.

“Now that we are alone...” Jordan breathed into Elizabeth’s ear; she felt his hot breath against her neck.

“Yes...” Elizabeth said slowly, she could feel her groin pulsate, she knew what was coming and she wanted to feel him inside of her again and again. He kissed her neck slowly and ran his fingers through her hair. She pushed him down on to the sofa and pulled herself on top of him.

She kissed him softly, feeling his warm lips against hers. She felt his erection push against her thigh. She pushed her groin down on his and moaned softly. He slid his hand under the back of her top and lightly glided his fingers up her back towards her bra strap, un-hooking it.

He peeled off her top, letting her breasts bounce free. He cupped them in his hands, rolling her nipples in-between his fingers. She could feel herself getting wetter as he pressed harder on her nipples. She ripped off his t-shirt and un-did the button on his jeans, pulling them down to his knees.

He grabbed her and stood up pushing her against the wall of the living room. The lamp fell to the floor and smashed but they did not care. He lifted her up higher and grabbed her ass. She wrapped her legs around his hips, pulling him closer to her. She quickly kicked her skinny jeans and shoes off, throwing them across the room, and kissed him hard. He moved his hand down to her lace panties.

He could feel the wetness as it seeped through the material. He slid them down and placed his fingers on her clitoris, slowly rubbing and tickling the end. She pulled down his boxers and clasped his penis in her hand. She moved her hand up and down quickly.

“Oh fuck, Lizzie, I’m going to cum” He said quickly.

“Not yet you’re not.” She moved away from him and he grabbed her waist.

“Please baby, let me put it inside you.” He pleaded.

“Not yet.” She said saucily and got to her knees, she moved her tongue skilfully around his foreskin. He moaned loudly.

“Wait, don’t. I will cum.” He said, but he couldn’t help it, he thrust it into her mouth to the back of her throat. She sucked on his penis quickly; he put his hand on the back of her head forcing her to go deeper.

He moaned loudly as he felt himself cum in her mouth. It trickled down her throat and he let out a sigh of relief and collapsed on the chair.

“Wow your good!” He said breathlessly. She smiled seductively. “Now come here.” He pulled her down to the sofa and kissed her stomach moving his head down to her clit.

It took her by surprise, in her experience; once the guy had ejaculated he didn’t usually bother trying to please her after. She felt his hot breath against her clit and thrust herself closer to his mouth. He moved his tongue against her and moved up and down.

He could taste her, and felt her body jerking in pleasure. He slid one arm to her breast and rolled her nipple in-between his fingers.

“Fuck, I love you!” She said it all too quickly; she didn’t even mean to say that and had no idea why she did. He carried on nevertheless and stuck his tongue inside of her. She pushed his head down to her hard and moaned loudly as she felt herself cum.
