Chapter 11, This Masquerade!
  Marty's POV

I cannot believe I turned down my dream woman. What had I been thinking? I sure was thinking with my head. And not my heart. With my pride really. I was such an ass to her. Because of why!? To get her back for all the times she turned me down? Was that why? I had probably lost all my chances with her that I had. Now I was sure I was not going to get another one!

Ever.

I had gone back to her to talk to her about it that every night. But she already went to bed. Or she was hurt by me and was avoiding me.

She sure was not talking that much like she normally did to me on the car ride. She had the radio blasting. On a seventies radio station. I had to get her to talk. She sat there in the front seat sulking.

I was driving over two more towns for the night. This sight-seeing was getting to be fun with her. Too bad it really was not a romantic trip for the both of us. I wish it was. I could at least keep these memories we were making in the back of my mind forever. I would never forget them.

Especially the dinner dates to the romantic sexy slow dances we were sharing. That was a profound moment for the two us. She felt protected and needed by me. I hoped when this all ended, she was still going to want to see me. Or at least still be my friend.

And stay in my life.

I could not imagine living my life without her in it.

♥☆♥

"Where did you want to go for lunch?" I ask as I reach over to turn down some David Cassidy song that was blaring on the radio.

"Anywhere is fine by me. Does not matter" she says as she yawns.

"Can we talk? About last night?" I nervously begin.

"You said it. You are right. Let's leave things were they are. I agree with you" she has to say making my heart turn inside. I knew it. I called it. I blew it with her.

"So, you agree?" I ask softly. That was a downer.

She nods. "I got caught up in the moment. The dancing. I miss having a boyfriend. I hate being alone. And I did not want to be dependent on you and you are right about that" she informs me. "I never have been alone in my life and I am not used to it. Maybe it is time after this I get used to it. And work on myself"

"That is a great idea! Good for you. Your brothers will be proud of you!" I brag on her. Though my heart did not mean a word of it.

I soon spot a pizza place I had come to really love over the years. There were not many places out there that had this brand of pizza. She would love this place as much as I did. I pull over off the high way to go to it right away. 

♥☆♥

"Where are we going Marty?" she curiously asks as she glances out the window.

She looked so cute in her little yellow sundress she had on for the warm afternoon. 

"You are going to love this place! I can't believe they have one around here" I brag with joy. "they have the best pizza in the world."

"I see why Gabe had to work out once the tour was over the last year" she jokes.

I blush now then laugh at that. It was true. We ate out a lot. But that was always fun to do.

"Yeah, we do" I chuckle.

I pull us into the pizza place. It was called Mootz Pizza. Best Detroit style pizza I ever had before. Right here in the middle of nowhere land. It kind of thrilled me that it was here.

It made my day. I hoped Novah would see what good boyfriend material I could be by finding the best places to eat. Maybe this would impress her a little more about me.

I park the car in the drive way. Then walk around to open her door and allow her to come out like a gentlemen should be doing. She looks pleased by my actions as well. Then I lead her protectively into the place for a lunch date. Well, more like a friend date really. Still, it was going to be fun. I was out with Novah. My dream girl.

We soon are seated right away in the posh little pizza place. Into a private booth near the back as I requested. Then they get us a drink. And I muddle over what pizza to order for us. Or if she wanted her own pizza.

Were we going to share it?

♥☆♥

"We can share a pizza. You order for us. I will freshen up in the bathroom" says Novah. "I like a man in charge" she teases with a wink.

As she gets out of the booth she lets her hand brush along my arm. She wanders away. Her sent of perfume breezes under my nose. She smelled so good.

I sigh. 

I pick out the perfect pizza for us to share.

I make my order. And get us salad and breadsticks as well. Then she comes back to join my side. 

"It sure has been quiet. Maybe we could go back to my brothers soon" she muddles deep in thought.

"Not yet. I bet that is what he wants you to think" I warn her. "No"

"Alright. You have been right about it all along so far. I will be safe Marty" she vows.

"Good it is about time you listened to me" I tease her.

We get out food fast. It smells soooo good. My stomach grumbles at me. We dig right in. Novah tries her pizza before the salad. Then groans with delight. I could not help but wish to be that pizza on her lips. Feel what those lips were like on mine.

"Yum, Marty, you do have good taste but then again you always have" she jokes playfully causing me to blush.

"I told you that you were going to love this place. And I was right" I tell her.

We laugh and chat things get back to normal somewhat. We enjoy a full meal together. Then pay for the meal and get out food we did not eat in take-out boxes. When we go to get in the car someone was digging into the car. Throwing stuff out. Searching for something.

A thug. 

Novah goes to gasp. I grab her fast taking her behind the place. And cover her mouth with my free hand. I set the food boxes down on the ground.

♥☆♥

"Boss they are inside. I did not see where they are headed next. No maps no notes" someone is saying on a call. "Yes, I looked all through the car twice" he grunts. "I followed them here. But there are too many people in there to grab them" 

Novah looks stunned. I cover her mouth with my hand fearful she might scream with fright. I could not blame her. She had a right to be scared. 

"I am done. But for now. I will keep watch for them boss" says the thug on the phone. "Alright"

Novah sneezes suddenly.

"Who is there?" mutters the thug as he looks in our area. My heart is racing fast.

Action time.

I yank Novah in my arms as close to my body as I could. Then kiss her right on the lips. 

She fights a bit as she is stunned.

"Play along..." I whisper to her. "follow my lead" I demand.

I kiss her again. She holds onto me closer. I face my back to the thug so he could not see her. Her lips mold into a perfect kiss onto my lips.

Her lips returned my kisses. I feel her arms hold onto me with fear and protection. She needed me. I leaned her more up along the wall so he could really not see who we were. Sharing the heat of the moment.

Kiss after kiss. My head was spinning. She had to care. More than friends. I feel a raw heat passion that only lovers knew when a kiss was shared in moments like this.

She groans softly with pleasure in her voice. Causing jolts of pleasure to flow through me. God she was good at everything. Kissing was one of those things. This was better than day dreams or my imagination. 

"I think there is a motel down the road man get a room" the thug laughs as he walks away soon.

My heart still pounds fast. 

I kiss her one more long sweet tender kiss so I could save it in my mind. I craved her so badly. Now she was going to know how I felt. I could not hide after that kiss. Once I break the spell she looks up at me breathlessly. 

♥☆♥

"Marty..." she softly says.

I place my finger to her lips to shush her.

I glance around the corner. He was gone now. His car I noticed was gone that had been parked beside us.

"We have to go in another town over" I warn her.

She nods. "Yes" she adds shyly.

She picks up our food. Then we rush to the car. I start it up. And we speed off on our way. 

"Marty, you saved me back there" she softly says to me as I drive off. "I don't know what to...."

"You will be alright Novah" I promise her. I reach over taking her small hand into mine. Her tiny hand cups with mine lacing her fingers with mine. She holds onto my arm. I let her rest her head on my shoulder. She was shaken up. She needed rest. Poor thing. 

I meant it. I was not going to let them get her. She was not going to be killed. She meant too much to me. I loved her. She had to know I would do anything to keep her safe.

And I would.
