Psalm 139:7-10

Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.

"Still much attention out there?" Ace is hunched over the counter of his apartment far from the city. It's been two days now since the chaos has happened, We have been spending every second of it together with him sleeping on the couch and me taking the bed.

In some weird way, lust has not found it's way to us... it's more of intimacy without me feeling as much sexual tension, it's nice. It's a relief.

"Let's not worry about any of that right now." I walk over to the counter with some cups of sugar and cookie cutters, i have forced ace to bake with me because it's a way i calm myself down and that's exactly what's needed right now. 

The internet has been spammed with a matter of blogs with aggressive headlines such as 'Pastor Davis's son strikes again' 'Ace Davis gets into another violent fight yet again!' 'ace Davis starts a bloody fight in a quiet neighborhood'  So we decided it best to shut off all of our devices and just spend our time in this small apartment alone.

"Press the dough down harder sir!" I joke pushing his side playfully, he jokingly rolls his eyes pressing down on the dough with that much more force,

"Why does anybody do this without being forced to, i don't get it."

"This is how your workers feel when they are being yelled at by you to make desserts."

"That's different, they get paid for it, I'm slaving away for free."

"Oh so my presence here isn't enough of a payment you mean?" He stutters his way through a response,

"I fold." He says as the sleeves to his casual black long sleeve shirt roll down again, his chain swinging back and forth when he stopped. I take that moment to pull them back up again for him it's at that moment that he steps behind me capturing me in that hold of his so he is behind me,

"As usual." I jest laughing under my breath,

"You think you funny?" He asks playfully dipping his hand into the left over flower,

"I am extremely funny." I proudly say, shrugging my shoulders.

"Is that so?" My laugh grows when he swipes a thumb print of flower across my cheek, my lips part in shock listening to him laugh behind me Thank God i have my bonnet on because to get this flour in my hair would be crazy-

"You know what-" I grab a handful of flour in my fist, it was at this point that he decided to gently shove me away from his body, running to the couch for cover. My laughter only increases watching him pull up a pillow and hide his body with it like it's going to help. I stalk the counter inching closer to him as he moves further from me,

"This ain't a fair fight, Anderson." He holds a hand up quickly scattering from me when i raise my hand to throw the flour at him not caring about the furniture between us, He tactically rushes up to my body and grabs my hand pushing me down to the couch before going straight back to the counter and grabbing the bowl of flour for himself,
