"Angus, you're twenty minutes late." Loretta shook her head in disapproval when Angus finally walked into her office. Mumbling an insincere apology, Gus took a seat at the table, ready to start the educational aspect of his lessons.

"Your secretary doesn't like me." Angus spoke out when Loretta took a seat next to him with a small huff.

"Emily? Why would you say that?" Loretta was surprised, even caught off guard, by Angus' sudden statement. He had never talked about Emily before, and according to Emily, he and never talked to her before. From what Loretta had gathered, Angus didn't give a damn on what people thought of him; Only Evelyn. So why was he bringing this up now?

Angus just shrugged his shoulders, his fingers fiddling with the ball point pen in front of him.

"Angus, you've never cared if somebody liked you or not apart from Evelyn. Why now are you asking about something that never used to bother you?" Loretta questioned, worried some habits and insecurities from regular society have started to affect Angus. She couldn't be more wrong.

"I don't care, I just want to know if she's telling everyone all my information." Angus looked Loretta deep in the eyes gauging her reaction to his accusation. Her body did not once stiffen, she didn't blink or recoil in guilt. She only frowned, a look of shock on her face.

"What we talk about is confidential, not talked about out of this office." She defended her organisation.

"I wasn't questioning you, I was questioning her." Angus said, his voice low and calculating.

"What we talk about she does not know of, only me and whoever you tell. My notes are locked away in my office where there are only two keys."

"Who has the two keys?"

"Excuse me?" Loretta asked, shocked she was being interrogated.

"Two people have keys to the filing cabinet. Who are the two people?"

Loretta blinked in shock. "Myself."

"And?"

"And Emily. But she is not leaking those files, I am sure of it."

"You're very defensive about this." Angus said casually, leaning back to look at her.

"Because you're accusing my profession, my secretary and my organisation of breaching rules and regulations."

"I wasn't accusing, just questioning. I'm sorry if I've offended you in any ways here. Evy is just very stressed about this, and she wants me to ask everyone." Angus lied. He couldn't give a crap if he offended her.

"Thank you, Angus." Loretta took a deep breath to compose herself. "I didn't mean to get so angry there. I worked so hard, so damn hard to get this establishment to the success it has today. I would never even risk it to have it shut down." Angus nodded his head while Loretta calmed down.

"While Evy and I were camping, something happened." Angus said. Loretta looked up, composed and professional once again. He took a deep breath before speaking. "We had another fight, a huge fight."

"What was it about, Angus?"

"She accused me of cheating with the same girl we had issues with last time."

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"You're Emily, yes?" Angus asked once he stepped out of his session. He decided to approach the secretary and see if he could find anything wrong with her.

"Yeah," she nodded her head skeptically, wondering why, after all these months, it was now Angus decided to start talking to her.

"How are you?" Angus brung up the painfully awkward small talk.

"I'm alright, thanks." She replied with a small smile. "You?"

Angus knew now it was his time to shine. "I'm okay I guess, I had a fight with Evelyn."

"Oh? I'm sure Br Jones can talk to you about that?" She said somewhat confused as to why Angus was talking to her about this. She reached to grab the phone to page Dr Jones to see if she had a few spare moments to talk to Angus about the issue.

"No, don't call her please." Angus said. "I just want some quick advice."

"That's, more of Loretta's job than mine." Emily sceptically said, scared she would be stepping outside her job by answering him.

"Understood. But Evelyn accused me of cheating again when we were camping. She thinks I went out one night and found another random girl and hooked up with her. How can I assure her I certainly did not do that?"

Emily was speechless. "I guess sit her down and tell her point blank. Ask her why she's accusing you, what makes her nervous and what you can do to assure her that nothing happened, if that's the case.

"I didn't cheat on Evelyn." Angus snapped, defensive and still guilty of his past.

"O-okay. Um, just let her know it didn't happen and she doesn't ever need to worry about it."

"You think that will work?" Angus softened his voice slightly in apology for snapping.

Emily nodded her head. "Okay, thanks heaps." Angus nodded at her and walked form the building, a smile on his face and feeling somewhat smug.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"She's accused you of cheating of cheating on her, with her best friend?" Mike asked in disbelief.

"Yeah," Angus said, trying to sound grim.

"Well did you?!"

"Of course not. It's Evy, never again will I make her feel like she did last time." Angus shuddered at the memory.

"You fucked up big time, aye?" Mike sounded equally as grim as he recalled what had happened.

"Michael, hurry up. We're going to be late!" Angus heard in the distance of the phone. Immediately, it was followed by a sigh.

"That's the missus, I better go. Good luck big guy." Angus quickly said bye and hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Angus heard Evelyn's shaky voice ask. He looked up, the small smile on his face dropping as he saw her face. She was flushed, eyes glistening and looking like she had been stabbed.

Evelyn didn't know what to think as she walked in the door, hearing Angus telling someone lies. Lies that she accused him of cheating on her.

"Shit, Evy. You've got to listen to me." Angus said. He quickly jumped off the couch, running the small distance to where his female stood. "It was Mike, I lied to him."

"Why?" She tried not jumping to conclusion here, but hearing Angus lie directly to Mike about her accusing him of cheating again was kind of hurtful. And then to top it off, he tried to make himself look innocent by professing his love. "Who else have you told?"

Evelyn's voice was very shaky. Her eyes were studying him, taking in everything. She didn't want to put words in his mouth or escalate this if there was a good explanation, but at the same time she felt almost betrayed.

"Loretta, and Emily her secretary."

"Angus, why would you do that?" Evelyn was so confused and hurt. She retreated from him taking a small step back, her chest aching some. But Angus wasn't having any of it. He quickly closed the gap, gently grabbing her hands and intertwining their fingers together.

"I told Loretta you accused me of cheating with the girl." He didn't need to specify what girl it was. They both knew.

"I told Emily I you accused me of cheating with a random girl. That I lied and went out one night to a club." Evelyn frowned.

"I told Mike you accused me of cheating with your best friend."

"They're all different stories?" Evelyn said, frowning. She looked into Angus deep brown eyes, patiently waiting her to figure it out. "Oh my god." Evelyn said. "They're all different stories." She laughed, complete relief flooding through her. "So the leaked story we'll know who did it."

Angus merely nodded with a smug smile on his face proud for thinking of this by himself.

"Gus, you're that fucking smart." Evelyn launched herself at him, her arms around his neck as he suprisdly held her around her waist and braced himself so they wouldn't topple over.

Immediately, her lips smashed onto his. Angus was caught by surprise but it didn't take long for him to respond. He moved his hands down to her thighs, picking her off the ground while trying to not break the kiss.

He felt her smile into the kiss, her arms tightening around his neck. Reluctantly he pulled away a bit, but Evelyn didn't want to stop. She moved to the soft skin on his neck, the hard flesh smooth under her lips. She bit down slightly, pleased and a small groan left his lips. The sound was like magic, an addictive thing Evelyn always wanted to hear and be the cause of.

"Fuck," Gus hissed under his breath as the harsh sensation was followed by soft, sweet kissed. Not wasting any time, Angus quickly went in the direction of the bed room. He threw Evelyn down onto the bed, her shrieking with laughter as he immediately followed, pinning her body still beneath his larger one.

Evelyn wriggled underneath him, her hand pinned above her head surrounding her useless attempts to playfully escape.

"Where do you think you're going?" Angus questioned, his voice dropping a pitch.

"Away from you," she poked her tongue out at him. Angus couldn't help himself, he quickly dove on and lightly captured her tongue between his teeth. It was worth it as he saw Evelyn's eyes go wide in surprise, her whole face recoiling and making a double chin below him.

"Wernot inda dugle," she tried saying but the words came out weird from the lack of tongue movement.

Angus pulled back, laughing his head off from her attempt to speak.

"Oi, mate." She laughed, wanting to push him but her arms were still suspended.

"Yes?"

"That was so uncool."

"Totally uncool," he mocked, sending her into a fit of laughter again.

"Totally," she mimicked him. He heard her laughs slowly die down and turn into heavy breaths as he slowly kissed down her body. It didn't take him long to remove her shorts and underwear, placing heavy kisses on the insides of her thighs.

He almost moaned himself when he heard her whispering his name as he reached her core. Kissing and moving on her sensitive centre. Her hips bucked up against him, squirming and not able to stay still. It made it more difficult to pleasure her, but he was glad she was being fulfilled she couldn't help but squirm under his touch.

"I want to, uh, your hair." She breathed, her hand squirming and moving like crazy under his hold.

"I know," he said slowly on her heat, knowing he was denying her one thing she wanted to do. It was fun to see her helpless and willing underneath him.

"Gus," she panted. "please." She didn't even care she was begging him.

With that he stopped, crawling back up her body and connecting their lips together. The kiss tossed sweet and was quite messy and Angus fumbled with removing his shorts. It wasn't long before they were gone and he was rolling the protection down his length.

With a short thrust he entered her, their bodies melting into one. Both still had clothes on their torsos, but Evelyn was sick of them. She harshly freed one of her hands, moving to lift up Angus shirt to expose his tanned skin.

She was almost disappointed when he pulled back entirely, sliding out of her. She watched, heavy breathing, as he removed his shirt, his eyes trained to her cheat as she did the same.

"Roll over," he instructed her. On her hands and knees, he slid into her from behind, both loving the deepness of the position.

They both reached their high together, moans and names spilling past their lips without their consent as they fell onto the mattress, flushed and satisfied.

<><><><><><><><><>

"Angus, no." Evelyn tried to sound stern. Gus was placing kisses on her neck and jaw, working his way up to her mouth before being poorly pushed away.

"Come on Evy," he said huskily, unexpectedly reaching over to pull his female onto his lap.

"Gus, no. Gus." She said again, squirming uncomfortably on his lap. Her hand went to his chest as she pushed away. He retreated, a frown on his face.

"We ah, we can't. Not today." She mumbled, her face flushing slightly. He just looked at her, then his face finally changed from confusion to understanding.

"You're on your period?" He bluntly asked.

"Angus," she whined, burying her face in the crook of his neck to stop the flushing. She felt his body rumbling beneath her from silent laughter.

"Don't be embarrassed, Evy." He said, tucking some hair behind her ear and away from his face so he could breathe properly. "Do you need anything?"

"No, I'm good thank you."

"We can still make out," he suggested, instantly being rewarded with a playful jab to the hip. "Or not." He laughed.

Subtly, Angus tried to move out from Evelyn. He went to gently place her down beside him to snuggle that way, but she was reluctant to move.

"Ah, Evy?" Angus asked. "Can you sit beside me? Please?" He didn't want to sound rude.

Frowning, Evelyn rolled off him and next to him, cuddling into his side where he happily put an arm over her shoulder.

"Why?" She looked up at him, her blue eyes looking into his.

"Ah, nothing," he responded, his face flushing.

"Oh my god, you think I'm going to bleed on you." Evelyn laughed. Her eyes scrunched up as she clothes her stomach, finding it even funnier as Gus sat there with a pink flush on his cheeks.

"There's stuff to, uh, prevent that." She said with a giggle.

"Those plugs?"

The question was so innocent Evelyn couldn't help but place a kiss on his hand. "Tampons, yes."

Evelyn watched as his cheeks heated up even more, finding it amusing he was getting embarrassed.

"You're so cute," she cooed, pinching his cheeks playfully. He mumbled something under his breath as Evelyn let it go, reaching around him to grab the remote for the 5 o'clock news.

A new project called Send Angus Home had just been established, the organisation being ran by an anonymous person.

The news lady read out a few minutes later. The small banter between the two halted, the issue instantly catching their attention.

"Only hours ago the project started, following the news of Evelyn having doubts of Angus being faithful. In the few hours it's been running, already thousands of dollars have been raised following the initial donation of a huge $200,000."

"Two hundred thousand dollars." Evelyn breathed in disbelief. "What the fuck is that. Who did it?"

"The donation was followed by a message published on the front of the project, explaining why the establishment has begun.

"The whole world has come to know and love Angus, saved from the wild. But the question is, did we really save him?

When we first met Angus, (when he wasn't intimidated by mass reporters thrown in his face) he was a smiling, happy man with eyes only for the women that saved him. However, the more he lives and grows in society, the more he sees our corrupt world and he too is influenced by this. From the stories we've heard, Angus has had a hard time in the few months he had lived here. Yes, he had a lot of public and friend support yet he has dealt with things we as a society could not even begin to fathom.

I've taken it upon myself to give Angus the option to return home, back to his island to be either by himself or with his women or with who he considers his family. I have contacted organisations and they have agreed to keep the innocence in this world and donate, but also send out food, water, and facilities to continue the research the original expedition may never have collected.

It is up to you to help. In order to pass this with the government, Angus will practically have to buy the island to legally return home.

Help keep the innocence. Let him raise a family away from the corruption in this world. Let him return to the life he knows, and to stop struggling in the one we've learnt to tolerate. Every dollar counts."

She finishes reading out the note as images of Angus being annoyed or frazzled by cameras in his face flashed on screen.

The lady continues the segment. It is confined that Coles have agreed to help send some types of food, but much more needs to be done, which is through the donations of the public." The news reporter started rambling on, flashing images and small videos of the public with signs with #SaveAngus on it. It was trending on twitter, donations flocking in from everywhere.

"This is insane." Angus said. He didn't even realise his leg jumping up and down restless as he watched until it caught the corner of his eye. As soon as the idea of returning him and starting a family arose, he wanted it. More than anything he ever wanted.

"Let's go home," he whispered, to Evy, yet to no one in particular. He wanted to go home, to be in the familiarities of life, to not see everyone all the time and live in concrete rectangles where the air smells like shit and the only place to escape is by driving hours away.

He could already picture their home, remade with stronger trunks to enforce the walls and a properly designed, safe bridge with the resources they had in this world. It saddened him he wouldn't have to carry Evy over to home every time, but just because he didn't have to, doesn't mean he still couldn't.

Then, a weird image appeared in his mind. Evy was walking on a sturdy bridge in front of him, chatting mindlessly away and he was behind her, carrying something. Or someone.

In his arms, was a small girl bundled, pale blue eyes drooping closed from a tiring day swimming in the ocean, her dark brown curls all salty and sticking up in all directions. Her tanned skin and small lips parted slightly with deep breaths, freckles like his dancing on her tanned skin.

"Home," He heard Evy mumbled beside him. And her voice just confirmed it. He was getting them home, and they were going to stay there.

"Gus," Evelyn snapped his imagination of his future, what he desperately carves now that it's been painted a possibility.

"Hmm?" he mumbled back. Still tucked into his side he didn't even notice her move to retrieve her phone. The glow from the screen lit up her face in the darker room as the curtains are closed, showing the few freckles and spots on her nose and cheeks.

"An article posted three hours ago. 

Angus rekindling romance with mystery blonde. Angus is being accused of cheating again with the same girl he hooked up with a month back as (ex?) girlfriend Evelyn accuses him of being unfaithful again." Evelyn read. She was thrilled. Finally, they have answers. Finally, they can move forwards. Finally, they can start getting a peace of mind. "We've got our inside source." Her voice was somewhat trembling.

"And we're going home.
