Nathan, just hear me out please ? I pleaded, taking a step closer to him. I could have gotten my entire life back today had I escaped, but I chose not to. I started, feeling his intense gaze from behind those dark shades. You honestly can’t be mad at me for simply contemplating it. I should have taken off the first second you turned your back on me but I didn’t, because for some reason I knew it would fuck up your life, and for some reason I care. I admitted.
I looked up to see he had taken the shades off, allowing me to see his earthy green eyes gleaming with emotion and piercing right into me.
You make it a lot better for me here Nathan, but it’s still hard being away from the people who love and care for me. I admitted. But I think there’s something greater to your story, and I also think we can help each other out somehow. I gave him a small smile.
He just continued to stare at me with those gorgeous green eyes which were a mystery to solve right now.
I turned to walk away when he still refused to say a word, feeling like an idiot for saying those things.
I suddenly felt sparks shoot up my arm as I felt his gentle hand close around it, stopping me.
Skylar. He whispered. I gazed up into his vivid eyes as he stared back at mine, pulling us closer.
I waited for him to continue, but he didn’t say anything else.
I’m an idiot. I mumbled, looking away.
No. He gave me a small smile. Passionate. Caring. Sweet. Clever. Funny. Challenging. He listed smoothly without hesitation. An undiscovered gem. He added softly, his eyes slowly tracing over my face with a look of wonder in them.
I breathed in sharply and couldn’t stop my cheeks from burning red and exposing me. I had never gotten complimented like that so easily, never to the point where I was left speechless.
The genuine look in his eyes erased any doubts I had of his words. Not to mention the numerous times today where I had seen him looking at me with concern or with a gentle look.
I never thought I’d end up being kidnapped by a sweetheart buying me GUCCI. I said with a playful smirk.
I never thought I’d end up kidnapping a princess who’d fall in love with me. He smoothly countered.
I take back everything you ugly fro- I started to protest but stopped as Nathan engulfed me in a big hug, pulling my struggling body into his warm chest.
What were you just about to call me ? His solid voice threatened.
I stopped fighting him and instead let my arms dangle loosely around his neck, looking up at him with a smile. A ruggedly frosted swag bitch. I answered.
He just looked at me blankly for a few long seconds.
I buried my head in his neck before he could see me start to laugh.
You little pyscho. He mumbled under his breath, causing me to pull away and glare at him. He laughed and just pulled me back into his chest, and this time I just hugged him back, smiling into his chest and enjoying the feeling of his secure arms wrapped around me.
He held me tighter and I felt him give me a small kiss on the crown of my head.
I can hear your heart beating princess. He said after a while, the smile in his voice clear.
I buried my head deep into his neck and blushed.
I suddenly felt his arm reach up to grab my hand. He pulled it down and placed it over his heart, which was beating just as fast as mine.
I was sure he felt my smile as I pressed my lips against his neck and melted into his hold.
We stood like that for what seemed like centuries, until he finally pulled away.
Wanna see something ? He suddenly asked, excitement in his eyes.
I looked at him uncertainty, but nodded. He took my hand in his and led me a few feet away from the car.
I gasped as I saw the beautiful view. We were currently standing on grass and there were beautiful mountains facing us.
I felt him tug my arm down as he took a seat. Looking ahead of me at the beautiful view, I sat down next to the guy who had my thoughts in a twist right now.
He pulled me closer to his side and wrapped an arm around me, causing me to bite back a huge smile.
It’s beautiful. I whispered.
Mhm. He mumbled softly.
I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, loving every second of this moment. It was a perfect moment if you could look at it subjectively.
Maybe if he hadn’t been my kidnapper and I hadn’t become his hostage, I could have really fallen for him.
A smile was still present on my face as Nathan led us back to his apartment, one arm around my waist and the other impressively carrying the countless shopping bags of mine, which I was certain weighed at least seventy pounds. I tried not to make it too obvious as I stared at his rippling muscles from under his thin shirt.
Today had been an interesting day, that was for sure.
We finally reached the door to his apartment and I started to open the door when I felt Nathan’s hand slip around my wrist and stop me.
Oh great, another chance for him to leave me speechless and confuse my already polarizing emotions.
I just wanna go in- I started to say but was cut off when he pressed his hand to my mouth.
I glared at him, contemplating whether to bite his hand or lick it.
Before I could do either, he pointed to the floor in front of his apartment and I followed his finger, spotting a pair of black leather shoes that looked pretty expensive. I noticed they weren’t that big, so it didn’t take me long enough to guess that they were most likely Alvin’s.
Short chipmunk…
He leaned down and whispered in my ear. He’s probably here to take you back down there for more questions. I’ll be there right behind you again.
I shivered slightly at his proximity, except I told myself it was due to the cold draft in the hall were in and nodded my head.
