Chapter 4 This is kidnapping

The next morning I wake up with the sunshine on my face. I try to sit up but the terrible throbbing in my head stops me.

"Ugh this headache is killing me! Maybe I just need to lie down for a little longer.... Wait a minute.....this is not my bed, where I'm I?" I look around the room to take on the unfamiliar sight trying to piece together how I ended up here.

(I remember dad kicking me out of the house, loser boyfriend who couldn't let me stay with him, bar and....blake, oh my gosh did we hook up last night?) i thought to myself. Alarmed I look under the covers and I'm relieved to find my clothes are still intact.

"I'd better go find Blake" I wonder around the house in search of Blake, eventually finding a spacious dining area in the kitchen.

"Hmm at least he has good taste..... Oh what's that"I pick it up and it's a note that says 'drink up'. I take the cup of juice inspecting it and end up pouring the drink in the sink and place the glass back on the countertop. "i have watched way too many movies for me to actually drink that, blake must really thing I'm stupid" i mumbled to myself.

The sound of splashing water catches my attention and i follow the sound.

"Seems like a swimming pool" I said to myself going out

(Well well, look who decided to take a dip in the pool this morning) I thought looking at Blake.

Blake walks torwards me, clad in just his swim trunks, water droplets glistening on his wet body. I find it hard to keep my cool. i can see the droplet from his face slowly going down to his chest till it disappears in his trunks and i gulp at the sight. i shake my head to get my head out of the gutter and cleared my throat

"Hey good morning, I think I haven't had a chance to properly introduce myself. I'm......"

"I know your name" he said cutting me off

"Oh and you're Blake right? I remember the bartender calling you by that name." I said and he responded with a short 'um-hum' so i try to keep the conversation flowing.

"I want to thank you for helping me last night, I was totally out of it that I couldn't stand up for myself,please don't get me wrong I'm not usually like that but i went through a rough day yesterday which was why i went overboard with the margaritas and I'm really sorry about the 'mess' in your car.... Gosh that was so embarrassing but I'll pay for the cleaning, I promise." I said it all in one go but Blake keeps quiet as he busies himself drying his hair with a towel. I'm starting to feel irritated with his attitude. (So he's not much of talker)

"I realize that running away from my problems won't actually solve them so I'm ready to go home and take care of things. Have you seen my phone? I think I left it in your car last night, I don't want to bother you I'll just Uber for a ride home" I said

"You won't get any phone reception here, no Internet connection either." He said

"Ok but there must be some place nearby where I can get a WiFi connection right? A coffee shop or a gas station perhaps?"

"I don't think so" he said still wiping his hair

"After all of the trouble last night I really hate to bother you again but can you please take me somewhere I can atleast get phone reception" I asked

"We're not going anywhere"

"Wh....what do you mean" I asked

"You're staying here" he said without missing a beat

"Look Blake I can and will leave whenever i want to" I said in anger but he remained unfazed by my reaction

"I'm hungry" he said

"You don't understand, my father is undoubtedly worried about me right now and my boyfriend is probably already looking for me, you can't keep me here. I need to go home now or at least tell them that I'm safe" I said but he remained silent

"Blake are you listening? Say something for fucks sake!" I said in anger and this time he turns around to look straight in my eyes and holds my gaze, long enough to make me feel uncomfortable.

"No! You're not going anywhere" he was now moving inside the house

"Are you out of your mind? You can't stop me from leaving!" i run after him grabbing his hand and he looks down at my hand holding his. with the way he was looking at me i quickly withdraw my hand and look down.

"Right now you are safer with me than anywhere else in the world trust me" he said

"And why should i trust you? You have no right to keep me here against my will, this is kidnapping! The police are going to find you"

"Stop being so dramatic, I don't have my patience for that and I'm not planning to keep you here forever so relax" he said in a calm voice

"Oh yeah? That's very reassuring! How about you tell me what the hell is going on" I asked in anger and he completely ignores my question.

"Since you'll be staying here, one important thing you should know about me is that I don't like repeating myself. I told you I'm hungry" he said in an intimidating voice

"Yeah and? Maybe order take out or something......." Blake's cold stare instantly shuts me up, he has the towel clad around his waist I can see tiny water droplets dripping down his hard toned body which is messing with my concentration.

"Prepare food for me I'm starving" with that he walks past me into the house leaving me alone trying to make sense of everything that has happened.

"Hey stop! Where do you think you're going? First you keep me in your house against my will and now you're bossing me around? I demand to be respected" I shouted and Blake stops in his tracks, slowly he turns around and moves until his face is just inches away from mine. My heart skips a beat or two.

(What was I thinking? Why can't i keep my big mouth shout? He could turn out to be a deranged serial killer, I'm toast). i thought to myself

"I'm starving and so are you, we can't leave the house so the way i see it is either you cook for us or we both go hungry. Help yourself to anything you find in the kitchen I'm not a picky eater so don't worry too much about what you cook. I'll be back in a while" with that he turns and leaves. I'm still in a state of shock struggling to understand my current situation.

(He abducted me and now he wants me to cook for him?).
