Just as I stepped in, I felt an arm wrap around my waist and a hand come up to cover my mouth, muffling my scream.
Shh, it’s okay it’s just me. Nathan whispered, turning me around to face him.
I relaxed as I realized that I wasn’t going to die soon, and stared up into his amused eyes.
He slowly took his hand away from my mouth and brought his finger to his lips, motioning for me to be silent.
I watched with a small frown as he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the kitchen.
He pressed himself against a wall and watched the rest of the boys cautiously.
I rolled my eyes.
Then quickly, when no one was looking in our direction, he pulled me down the hall and into his bedroom.
I pulled away from him and crossed my arms, facing him as he quickly shut the door.
Why ? I asked simply, raising a brow.
Because. He spoke, staring at me intensely as he stepped towards me.
I bit my lip in anticipation and stared at him expectantly.
I wanted to show you my ninja skills. He said with all seriousness.
I just stared at him like he was a five year old kid that had just told me he had found a leprechaun.
He finally cracked a grin, causing me to grin too and start laughing at the stupidity of the situation.
Well I’ve seen better. I shook my head.
Really ? I bet you’ve never seen a ninja do this. He murmured as he leaned in to steal a quick kiss. But I had seen it coming and quickly dodged him with a smug smirk.
He pulled back when he realized he was just kissing air and stared at me in shock.
Like I said, I’ve seen better. I smirked at him. Look, there’s a very important conference meeting which awaits my presence so if you’ll excuse me. I said, waiting for him to move.
Wait, I pulled you here for a reason. Nathan started.
Yeah, to show me your ninja skills which are non-existent. I rolled my eyes, causing him to shoot me a glare.
No, I wanted to apologize. He spoke softly, looking guilty.
For what ? I asked, cocking a brow.
For being a jerk. He explained, causing my confusion to grow.
I know I shouldn’t have snapped at you when you came in to check on me earlier. He said, gently taking a hold of my hands.
I stared at Nathan for a moment, entranced by him, before realizing what a silly thing he was apologizing for.
Nathan, I know you didn’t snap at me on purpose, I understand. I said with a small smile.
I watched as his expression softened and he smiled back.
Now, let’s get you some ice for that lovely bruise and make some drinks for those idiots so that we can go on with our little conference. I gave him a charming smile.
Nathan just raised a brow at me.
And what exactly is this conference about ? He asked.
You’ll see. Was all I said, before grabbing his arm and dragging him behind me to the kitchen.
I crossed my fingers that he’d listen to my plan and actually consider it. I knew he had lost hope for his sister when he had gone to see her last, but I still wasn’t giving up on him. Call me crazy, but I was determined to pull Nathan and his whole family out of this mess. And not only his family, but mine as well, Landon included.
I was determined to get to that scrawny sick chipmunk and shake him down from his tree. I knew that all of us combined could conquer his pathetic ass and fix this mess once and for all. Well, actually… I didn’t know that. I just hoped. But I knew for sure that putting all my hope into this would pay off, in one way or another.
I, Skylar Jones, will make it my job to fix as much as I can for my amazing, sexy, kidnapper/boyfriend.
Oh, and I’ve gotten over the fact that I’ve completely lost it.
