Say freeze...

“Wake up!! Hey!!” someone is shouting into my ear and keeps on shaking my shoulders. I tried batting him away but he won’t stop. Jeez, I’m trying to have some beauty rest here.
“What?” I asked annoyed and almost whining as I was disturb with my beautiful dream which is me escaping from my father. I slowly opened my eyes rubbing the sleep off my face. I blinked twice maybe thrice as my vision takes in the surroundings. SH*T! This is definitely not my room. I cussed internally. “HOLY GOAT!” and I exclaimed wide-eyed from surprise for I truly saw a goat, there are also some sheep and a horse. Barleys occupying most of the small old house or should I say a manger. Yeah, definitely we’re in a manger. So, I really did escaped last night.
“They tracked us.” he said in a whisper taking me out of my realization. Now, I can clearly see this man’s physique. He has a brownish disheveled hair, a perfectly thick eyebrows, fair complexion, tall nose, thin pinkish lips and lastly, bright brown eyes looking almost like an auburn one. All in all he’s amazingly seductive, tantalizing, head turner, handsome sexy guy.
A smile slowly crept over his lips and he suddenly puffed out his chest looking all smug and mighty upon seeing the look I’m giving him. “I know I’m handsome and almost perfect but baby, this isn’t the time to drool over and check me out.” he smirked…
Oh, and I forgot… AN ARROGANT, BOASTFUL GUY.
“Shut up Mr. Breast-grabbing-maniac!!” I shouted in a whispering voice and rolled my eyes at his ostentation and exaggeration. Well, he can justify what he had said but WHATEVER!! The hell I care with his intimidating physique.
“What did you just called me?” he asked c*****g an eyebrow.
“Maniac?!” I asked, squinting my eyes at him.
“Breast-grabbing?!” he corrected.
“Yeah, I know I’m HOT and one of my ASSET are my breasts but please don’t harshly grab them. You can ask, you know.” I remarked imitating his tone earlier referring to last night’s incident. Well, my breasts are not that big but they aren’t small either. They’re just right for my lean physique.
“Hide.” He grabs my wrist his body on the alert as we crouched low and hid ourselves in the pile of barleys. I gave him a sideways glance, thinking this guy really has a knack for grabbing.
“His not here.” said the guy in a tux. Wait, this isn’t my father’s men in black. In fact, these guys are wearing white tuxes.
“Yes but I’m sure he’s just near in this place. His big bike is still outside. So apparently, he didn’t drive off yet.” another guy in white tux observed. Well, they’re smart compared to my father’s men in black.
“Hey, I’ll go get the big bike.” I said in a whisper not taking my eyes off the men.
“You’re crazy!! NO. I won’t let you.” he said irritated his voice leaving no room for discussion.
“Aww, you’re worried about me. How sweet.” I jest pouting teasingly as I exaggeratedly batted my eyelashes at him.
“Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want you to do that because I don’t trust you. You’re a clumsy girl. You can’t possibly single-handedly handle all of them.” he said bluntly and suppressed a laughter seeing the scowl on my face.
“Well, thank you very much for boosting my self-confidence.” I stated sarcasm laced within my voice as I punch him real hard on the arm.
The strange man has the audacity to chuckle. “Stop babe that tickles.” he added so amused by my apparent annoyance.
“So, smart enough to think a plan?” I asked as the men in white finally went out the manger probably to search the bushes and trees outside. We must have travelled quite far as I can no longer hear any honking cars or the familiar noise of a bustling city.
“Yep, wait for them to go away.” he coolly said which isn’t as cool as he thinks and made himself comfortable as he sat on the barleys lining the floor and actually made a make shift pillow for him to sit on.
“You’re kidding me, right?” I asked mouth gaping. “That’s... that’s THE most absurd plan I have ever heard, well next to the plan my father planned for my so-called life.” I added and rolled my eyes in frustration as he just shrugged innocently and eyed me like saying I’m crazy. I heave out deeply. “Here’s my plan, I’ll distract them while you run for your big bike and drove off.” I added.
“Well, how ‘bout you?” he stared at me intently, his bright brown eyes now looking a couple of shades lighter looking almost golden as it got hit by one of the rays of the sun coming through the broken roof of the manger. Oh come on, those stares are LOVELY!
“Maybe this would be the end of the line. You know, where we can go our separate ways and they’re just after you so I’m pretty sure they’ll not harm me or anything.” I smiled at him shrugging nonchalantly hoping I’m right while he continued gawking at me.
He sighed. “Why do you always have to be so... so selfless?” he asked his brows furrowing, all his playfulness gone. I was about to ask what he meant by that but my body froze. Well, we are commanded to.
