In Love with a Kidnapper - Episode 6

 

At lunch I was called to Roberts office, I walked to his office slowly, I was scared. It’s been four days already, and I haven’t heard any call or email for my dad. Even though I was here and treated like family I was still a hostage and if my dad pays the money i will soon have to leave here. I knocked on the office door . A stern serious voice told me to come in. It was dark when I entered the only light came from the window blinds that blocked most of the light, I saw Robert sit at his table reading a book. Why was he reading a book in the dark? I had a chill down my spine that I might get killed, I was shaking.
” What is it?” I asked quietly.
” Your father hasn’t replied my threat yet,” He whispered trying to keep his anger in. I gulped, and looked around the room, was I going to get killed here? Will Nathan or Cole or even Daniel come behind me and slit my throat? I shook away the thought.
” oh..” I finally said.
” Since you had told Aunt Marie and her kids that you are Nathans girlfriend, and if they find you missing or well dead the police will come to Nathan as a prime suspect so,” he paused ” I will give you another 5 days and send another threat to your father,”. I felt relieved and also a little paranoid

. Why didn’t my father agree? Does he want me dead? I clenched my fist thinking of those memories.
” Alright,” I sighed and walked out of the room, a tear rolled down my cheek. I immediately wiped it away. It was almost time for Nathan to play his Violin. I looked around the empty hall and headed to the left of the hallway. I looked around, at the usual all the doors were the same and there was a small night table with roses, Something had caught my eye. On the side of the wall there were picture frames, I took a closer look, in the picture was a two small blond boys, one had blue eyes; Cole probably, and one with green eyes. I widened my eyes, was that Nathan? But Nathans hair was black not blond. I took a closer look, the small boy had a resemblance of Nathan. Could it be that Nathan dyed his hair? Beside that picture was a brown haired kid who arm was wrapped around Cole, they were both smiling like they were the best of friends. Behind them was a beautiful woman with golden hair, that swayed down in a elegant way in the picture. She wore a summer dress and a white hat. It looked like they were at the beach. Nathan was in the back ground with a grin on his face.
” Things were a lot different back then,” A voice whispered behind me, startling me. I turned around and their stood Nathan in his baggy jeans in a half zipped sweater. He held a violin case behind him and gave me a curious look.
” You play the violin?” I asked, already knowing the answer.
” I think you know the answer to that,” He sighed, I blinked at him a few times, could he have…?
” You knew I was spying on you?!” I blurted.
” No duh, your not the quiet type when trying to sneak back into your room, why do you think i leave the door open just a bit for you” He gave me a innocent smile, It made me turn my face away. He looked cute.
” You, play good, that’s why,” I said playing with my fingers, I felt more nervous than I did when I told Jake how great he looks. He chuckled.
” I know,” he smirked, arrogant much?
He looked at me shortly and motioned me to come with him up to the secret place. I stood there giving him a small confused look.
” You coming or not?” He asked. I blinked a bit, why was Nathan being so nice? My heart beat was pounding and I rushed behind him.
After climbing the steps he opened the door fully, inside it looked like the same room that Cole had shown me, only it was purple not red. There were some books that laid in a small space near the small couch in the room, I sat down there and Nathan took out his Violin. I closed my eyes and he played. He played a different tune then he would usually do. It sounded soothing, Nathan continued to play more swaying his body, it was magnificent. I soon dozed off the couch with only the music echoing in my thoughts.
I had a dream where I was at the beach. The sound of waves crashing smoothly against the rocks, and the sunset that showed more colourful colours. Beside me was Nathan, in his innocent self, he laid on the ground with his eyes closed. I couldn’t help but stare, he was cute. Nathan wasn’t much of a jerk after all. Nathan opened his eyes and smiled at me, he said something but I couldn’t hear it right. He came up closer to me placed his hands around my head and he leaned in closer, I didn’t hesitate , I closed my eyes, I felt a slight warmth on my lips. I suddenly opened my eyes waking up from the dream, I was on the bed and Nathan was going closer to me.
” Gah, what’s going on?!” I jumped making Nathan stumble backwards a bit. Did I just have a dream of Nathan kissing me?
” You fell asleep in the room so I carried you,” He said fixing his hair. ” Its not what you think, I just was going to get my glasses on the shelf behind you,” He said pointing at the shelf, I looked behind me. His stylish glasses laid beside the violin case.
” Oh,” I said feeling embarrassed. I felt a little depressed, I sorta wished that my dream would come true. Then I instantly remembered, Nathan said he would tell me about Lucy.
” Nathan,” I began, Nathan gave me a sharp look, he knew what I was going to ask.
” You should go to sleep now Kim, Its already midnight,” he sighed. He played the violin for that long, even when I was sleeping through it? I felt like arguing but he looked tired and so was I.
” Alright,” I said immediately dropping myself onto the bed. Nathan snuggled beside me. For some reason I felt more comfortable beside him. Was this wrong?
The next morning, I woke up hoping to finally get story about Lucy and possibly more other questions I wanted him to answer. I looked around the room, where was Nathan? Was he hiding? Soon the Washroom door opened and Nathan appeared with a towel wrapped around him and nothing else, I stared for a quick second and turned my head.
” Oh, I thought you would be still sleeping,” He said in a calm voice. How can he be calm when he is practically half naked in front of me. I began to blush. I could hear Nathan struggling to keep his towel on while putting on his pants. A sudden knock came at the door.
” Nathan? Is Kim still in there? I need to speak with you alone,” It was Cole on the other side of the door.
” No,” Nathan lied, I glared at him, he motioned me to come. He pulled me into his closet, and I gave him a confused look. He told me to be quiet and closed the closet door.
” Come in,” He said, I listened quietly. The door opened and closed and I heard someone sit on the bed.
” Look man, I need some help,” Cole began, ” I think I’m falling in love with Kim,” his voice was quiet, I widened my eyes, Cole is falling in love with me? I shook my head, I couldn’t think of anything to say. Nathan was quiet.
” I know we aren’t suppose to be connecting with the hostage but I can’t help it! There is something about her,” Cole continued, he was frustrated. I heard some silence, were they whispering? I heard someone get off the bed and walk near the closet,
I gulped silently, if Cole opened the door then he would know what I just heard. I closed my eyes, and the door opened.
” Its safe now.” Nathan whispered towards me. Cole already left? I walked out of the closet door, stretching my muscles for being in that small closet. I stared at Nathan.
” I wasn’t suppose to hear that you know,” I whispered to Nathan, who was looking the other way.
” How am I suppose to know he was going to shout out a confession?” He smiled.
” Well, you could have told him to talk to you later?” I implied. He sighed.
” Its too early in the morning,” he complained changing the subject. I sighed and went up to him.
” Remember you have to tell me the story,” I smiled, he growled hoping that I will forget.
At breakfast we had pancakes that Cole had cooked, they were delicious, it was difficult for me to talk to Cole, knowing he has a crush on me. Stupid Nathan, why did he let Cole blurt out the confession! Cole looked at me confusedly for being in doze off mode.
” Are the pancakes not good?” Cole asked giving a pout look
” No! They are delicious!” I smiled gulping them down and I accidently bit my tongue, ” Its just so early in the morning,” I repeated,
” Its 10:30 am” Daniel spoke walking in and grabbed a bottle of water on the counter. I heard a car door slam and the door opening. I felt a shiver down my spine, Dylan had came back from the hospital, I felt uneasy and started to shake. I felt a warm hand place onto mine, it was Nathan, he gave me a slight nod and I felt a little better. Everyone walked out of the kitchen to see if Dylan was better. Me and Nathan stay where we are. I didn’t want to see that creep, and neither did Nathan.
” Why don’t we go somewhere else,” Nathan whispered beside me. He took his plate of pancakes and stole some more off of Cole’s plate, and he ran out to the garden door, I rushed behind him laughing.
Outside, he sat on the fountain side devouring his pancakes and Cole’s, he had a small piece of crumbs on the side of his mouth, he looked cute. I laughed at him and scooped up the crumb and ate it. He looked at me confusedly. I gave him a innocent smile. I sat beside him waiting for him to finish his breakfast.
” Now will you tell me?” I asked giving him a sharp look. He won’t escape this time. Nathan sighed and washed down the pancakes with a cup of milk. He then stood up and picked up two daisy flowers from the side, and handed them to me. I gave him a confuse look.
” If you can guard these flowers for the fifteen minutes without me stealing them, I will tell you,” he smiled at me. Was this some child game? I held the flowers tightly and a fresh breeze had hit me, during that breeze Nathan charged at me and tried grabbing the flowers. I dodged and ran around the fountain. He chased right behind me, there were many times where he would hold onto me and try grabbing the flower in the other hand but I manage to get out. For fourteen minutes we have been dodging and catching, only one more minute left and it will be story time. Suddenly a strong breeze had blown making me let go of the flowers, the flowers swayed up in the air and I jumped for them, so did Nathan. The very next thing felt like it was in slow motion. As for Nathan instead of garbing the flowers, by accident he grabbed my wrist which made me stumble towards him, making us crash into each other. I instantly felt a warmth on my lips. I blinked a few times, my lips were touching his lips, we accidentally… kissed?!
