Sweet Escape

"M-Maya?!" She says, trying desperately to put together a calm and collected demeanor. You pant lightly as you look at Maya who's shocked by what she just saw. "Sister, my god..." She slowly turns her head to look at Maya, her heart hammering in her chest as she sees a look of shocked bewilderment on her sister's face. "Maya- I can explain-" "Alright, I won't jump to conclusions..." Maya says as she walks closer to hear Kamala out. She feels her heart racing and her mind desperately trying to come up with an explanation for her sister as she looks at Maya slowly walking closer. "It's not what it looks like I swear-" She says as she steps a bit farther from you but keeps a hand firmly on your waist, a subconscious yet reassuring gesture. "Just tell me the truth sis." Maya says as you grab Kamala's hand with yours and give her a look saying "Perhaps we should be honest." She glances at you for a second, considering your gesture, her mind going through a few different scenarios in the split of a second but finally she decides that the truth might be the only option she has. "I- We've been... seeing each other. Secretively."

"We can't help, we've tried though but there's no further explanation. We're just attracted to each other and trying to figure it out." You say to help her out and her sister nods, taking a moment to process. Kamala's heart is still hammering in her chest as she looks at her sister and nods along to your words, her hand still gripping your waist tightly. "Y-yeah..." She says feeling a wave of anxiety wash over her, awaiting her sister's reaction. You feel her grip tightening and at this point you give up and just wrap your arms around her and close your eyes, waiting for Maya's reaction. "Kamala... we're family, you know I'll always support you. If it's what the heart wants then what can you do right? However you know I appreciate Doug, he doesn't deserve to get hurt by this because trust, he will eventually." She feels some of the tension ease as her sister speaks and she relaxes into your arms, her body slowly loosening, feeling reassured and calm again. "I know Maya... I know he'll be hurt, it's just..." She sighs and buries her face in your shoulder, her arms encircling your waist and holding you to her tightly.

"I can't help it." You hug her back comfortably, the previous anger now forgotten. Maya watches you two and smiles lightly. "It's obvious you love each other, I care for you sister and I'll never judge but please be careful. I won't say anything, it's not my business but you're an important figure for everyone. Keep it in mind in your decisions." She lifts her head with a small smile, thankful and relieved for her sister's kind words, her eyes a little wet but her smile nonetheless genuine. "I'm trying my best. And I know what's at stake... I'll be careful, I promise." She says in a quiet tone before pulling you even tighter against her, her arms clinging to you and a sense of relief washing over her. You cling to her hugging her tight and squeezing her body against yours. Her sister pats her shoulder in support. "I'll leave you a moment." She says as she goes back inside. Kamala nods and watches her sister leave before turning to you and pulling you into a tighter embrace, her arms wrapping around you and her face buried in your shoulder. "You don't know how worried I was..." "No I know you were... I'm sorry, I was a jerk previously. I love you Kam..." You say as your hands grip her even tighter that they were already.

She closes her eyes and melts into your arms, feeling reassured and loved by your words. She pulls you impossibly closer and squeezes back. "I love you too." She whispers, her voice muffled against your shoulder, holding you close and feeling safe in your arms. "I know there's nothing to do, you're the president and Doug is the official First Gentleman. It's not like you could just throw all this away or anything, I was being childish..." You mutter close to her neck. She pulls back gently and looks into your eyes, her hands on your waist gently stroking you, a small, reassuring smile on her lips. "You're not being childish, you were just feeling neglected and upset. I understand..." She says while slowly moving her fingers over your skin, feeling the warmth of your body under her hand. "This situation we're in just sucks..." "I just wanna go home, being here pretending hurts a lot..." "I know sweetheart I know..." She says in a quiet, gentle tone, her thumbs circling gently on your hips, her hand firm yet soft against you. "I wish I could take you home now and just hold you and forget everything else..."

"Can't we make up something and leave? My place, no one will know we're there.." She looks at you for a moment, her brain working at a hundred miles per hour, trying to consider all the different scenarios and consequences. "Baby...I'd love nothing more than to spend the entire night with you." She says with a small smile while gently stroking your hips with her thumbs. "But are you sure? My security will be mad..." "I know but I want to do something crazy... picture it, just us together, no security, no one around to interrupt us..." She moans softly by the thought of spending the night alone with you, her body immediately agreeing to the thought, her mind slowly starting to accept the idea. "Mmmh god you're making it really hard to say no..." "It'll be like in California, just you" You kiss her lips. "and me... nothing will happen to you I swear, I have a gun to protect you anyway." A shiver goes down her spine as you kiss her and her eyes flutter closed, her mind slowly giving into your persuasion. Her hands grip your hips tighter as her lust takes over, her mind completely clouded at this point and her thoughts just full of you. "Mmmph... I trust you..."

"Should we go then? Tell no one about it and just leave together?" You say as you caress her back still hugging her. She takes a deep shuddering breath, her lust slowly taking over and her body giving in to her desires now. "God yes...let's do that..." She says before pulling you into a short, hot kiss, her mind spinning from the anticipation. You smile and look at her suit. "You have a car key?" She looks at you, her eyes slightly darkened and her breathing heavy from the kiss. "Yeah I do..." She says as she reaches into her pocket, grabs the key to dangle it in front of you. "Perfect! We need to find a way to discreetly go now..." She glances around, looking for an opportunity to leave, her body almost vibrating with anticipation and excitement. "Hmm...the side door." She says, pointing at a small door leading out of the building inside the restaurant. "I just need to get my security distracted for a moment..." You think and get a kind of crazy idea. "I know. You trust me, right?" You say as you pull a lighter from your  pocket. Her eyes lock into yours and her eyebrows slightly furrow, a mixture of confusion and concern showing on her face.

"Yes I trust you... why?"She asks in a puzzled, yet slightly worried tone. "I'm gonna make a big distraction..." You say as you light on fire the tablecloth of an outside table then you pull Kamala with you to hide on the side of the balcony. She looks as you light the tablecloth on fire and watches as the fire quickly spreads, a hint of shock but some amusement is visible in her eyes and she lets you pull her to the side of the balcony. "You're insane..." She whispers in an excited tone, feeling the familiar pang of adrenaline shoot through her veins. "Loving you is kinda driving me crazy." You say as you kiss her quickly then you both see a waiter noticing the fire and panicking. "Now we just wait for the commotion." You whisper. She feels her heart pound in excitement. "Oh god..." She whispers breathlessly, watching as chaos slowly spreads through the restaurant and her security running around like headless chickens. "Now Kam!" You say as you grab her hand and run back inside to go to the parking on the side exit. She follows you, grabbing your hand tightly and running beside you, her adrenaline pumping and a slight laugh escapes from between her lips at the pure thrill of the situation.

"Damn this is crazy..." She says in between gasps, almost reaching the parking. You hurry to the car and you grab the keys from her and start driving the second she's in the passenger seat. You drive off quickly and laugh. "I can't believe it worked!" She watches as you speed off into the night, the sound of you laughing and the wind in her hair making her feel alive for the first time in a long time, a huge smile spreading over her face. "God you're crazy."

She says in a slightly shocked but amused tone, before grabbing your hand and squeezing it, the adrenaline still pumping through her veins as you drive away from the issues and responsibilities...
