CHAPTER 13: GOOD NIGHT, BAE
*Alison’s pnt. of view*
When we finish eating, I get out of the kitchen. I notice Aleks follows me closely, and I roll my eyes.
- Do you have to follow me everywhere? - I ask him.
- Do you want to get lost again?
- Touche - I have to admit that he’s right. Probably, if he didn't go before me, I would lose again in this house. All I can say in my defense is that I’ve lived all my life in the castle and my orientation isn’t the best.
He guides me, and we go up the great steps. We go through several doors, all similar to each other. Alek stops next to one of them.
- Here’s your room - he says
It 's strange. If the situation were different we would simply be a boy that takes a girl to the door of her house. But the situation isn’t different, he isn’t a symply boy, but the son of the major leader of the mafia and my kidnapper; and I’m not a symply girl, but a princess that is about to marry to be queen. I don’t know how to behave, I stir in my place, feeling uncomfortable. Alek gets a little closer to me and looks to my face. He has placed so close to me that the difference in height is noticed, I reached him below his shoulder. He lowers his head to look directly into my eyes, while I raise my head, and get lost in his green eyes, which gaze at me intensely. Alek raises his arm, and takes off a lock of my hair that had fallen on my eyes and places it behind my ear. It makes my heart skip a beat. I’m sure he can listen to my heart from there. I stay in the place, I can’t move. However, I don’t know if I would move even if I could. He has me mesmerized, I can’t stop looking into his eyes, while he runs his hand over my face, first caressing my cheek, then running his finger through my lips. Meanwhile I stay motionless with my arms glued to my sides, without knowing what to do, or how to react, only watching at his face. He’s handsome, that’s undeniable. We stay like that for what seems an eternity, him touching my face and me looking at him simply. Suddenly, Alek gets closer. His face is more and more closer, and I can’t move. I start to panic. When he’s reaching my face, he moves and give me a kiss on the cheek, he puts his lips closer to my ear and whispers:
- Good night, bae.
He moves away and walks in direction to a room, which is two doors away from mine. I remain still again. I don’t know what just happened. Alek stops with the knob of the door in his hand.
- Good night - I say
He turns his head, looks at me one last time, smiles, opens the door and gets into the room. Then I react, I also open the door and go into the room. What the heck just happened? Why haven't I reacted? I start to walk around the room. My head is shaking off. But what did I just do? The images continuously go through my mind again: Alek's eyes fixed on me, his hand touching me, how he left heat wherever his hand passed, his lips getting closer… wait a minute. I thought he was going to kiss me! And the worst of all is that I wouldn’t have done anything. I would have let him kiss me, like that time at the nightclub. That brings about me ending up in this house, which is away from everything. But what the hell is wrong with me? I don’t learn! Besides, why he goes to sleep to another room? Agg! I throw myself on the bed, and at some point I fall asleep because when I open my eyes it has already dawned. I hear the sound of water falling. Alek must be taking a shower. The bathroom is inside the bedroom where I am. The water stops falling. I keep getting used to the rays of light that pass through the large windows when the bathroom door opens and Alek comes out. His waist wrapped in a towel, his torso naked and wet. Drops of water fall from her disheveled black hair. I can't help but gawk at him.
- Well well, you’ve already woken up. - he gets closer to the bed.
I don’t know what he’s going to do until I try to get up and realise that I can’t move my arm.
- Did you really handcuff me to the bed while I was sleeping? - I asked angrily.
Alek keeps getting closer to the bed, takes out a little key from the drawer that is next to the bed, and opens the handcuffs.
- Off course, bae. I couldn't risk you waking up and taking advantage of the fact that I was taking a shower to run away. - He answers with a smirk on that stupid face.
Even if he’s stupid, he’s handsome and with heart-stopping abs. My subconscious betrays me. Stop Alison! Stop thinking about that. He’s your kidnapper, I reprimand myself mentally.
- But there’s nothing around us. How the hell do you want me to escape!? - I tell him. Although, he’s right. I intended to arrive at the road ten minutes from here. But that’ s becoming more and more mission impossible for me. I’ll have to wait to make the next step.
- You are a stubborn girl. It would surely try to escape.
- Actually, yes. I would rather be surrounded by trees and dangerous animals and sleep on the ground than be near you all day.
Alek approaches. I'm still lying on the bed and I sit up a bit. He places his arms on either side of my hips, brings his face close to mine and whispers to me:
- We both know that’s not true. - He winks at me and walks away towards the bathroom door. But what the hell does he think he's playing at?
I blush with anger, I get out of bed and go to the bathroom. But when I go to the door, ready to say four things to this arrogant man, I see him naked and I let out a little shout. He turns to look at me while I do the same but with the totally opposite intention, to stop looking at him.
- Don't you know how to close the bathroom door when you undress? - I scream, bright red.
- Nobody has forced you to follow me to the bathroom.- he says laughing
- You are… aghhh. I don’t have words to describe you.
I get closer to the window and look out as I listen to him moving around to get dressed. When I hear he stops moving I ask:
- Are you visible?
- Yes - I turn around. He has changed into sweatpants and a black tank top. - I'm going to prepare breakfast. You can shower meanwhile. You have clothes in the big closet. Will you know how to get to the kitchen? - he laugh
- Of course. - I answer offended
Alek leaves the room and I go to the bathroom. When I have finished showering I put on black pants, also tracksuit, and a white crop top. And I go down to the kitchen, this time knowing where I have to go.
