CHAPTER TWO

Torri
"Will you at least cut this tape off me when we get there???" I asked. He said we weren't going to school today. He completely refused it. So, he technically was right. He WAS kidnapping me.

"Maybe..." He said

I growled

"Oh, frisky. Exactly how I like em'" He said smiling

My eyes widened "Your a real creeper you know that?"

"So, I've been told"

"Gee, wonder why?" I said sarcastically

"So do I.." He said while rubbing his chin in a thought like emotion.

"Your a nut, now hurry up. I don't like being taped up" I said

"Oh, that insult is going to make it worse" He said

"Make WHAT worse???" I said

"You'll see"

There was an awkward silence between us.

"Will you at least tell me where we're going?" I said pleadingly

"Nope" He said then looked at me and smiled at my pouty face. "Don't do that, you know it's hard for me to resist it."

"That's exactly why I'm doing it" I said

He didn't say anything after that. He just kept looking at the road clutching the steering wheel tightly.

"You okay, Nate?" I asked worried

He laughed "Don't worry about me, love."

I laughed, his English accent was coming back again. Although I loved it, I never understand it. Call me crazy. After a little more driving he pulled into a parking lot.

"We're here" he announced.

"And where would "here" be?" I asked looking around. It was a park looking place. It had a garden, benches, fountain, and a little play area where some little kids were playing along while their mothers' careful eyes, watching them.

"It's the park, love" He said

I laughed "You can stop calling me "love" now."

He looked disappointed, but laughed and said "Okay, love"

I laughed. He hopped out of his car and came over to my side, before I could even get my seat belt off. He opened my door and took off the tape, then held out his hand. I took it. We walked towards the park.

"So, how have you been?" He asked. I looked at him, I was to busy looking at the little kids playing. I noticed he never let go of my hand.

"Um... I'm good. Thanks for asking. How about you? I mean, I heard about you and Alice. How is she?" I asked. Alice was his girlfriend. Yes, I was a bit jealous, I admit it. But, who am I to confront him about my feelings. I still don't believe in love though. It's just a crush that will pass up in a little while. Nothing lasts forever.

"Oh... Alice... We, um, broke up..." He said looking at the ground.

"What??? What for? Your guys were perfect together!" I said. I stopped abruptly. SO, do he considering he never let go of my hand. He looked me in the eyes, then grabbed my other hand. He swayed them left to right. I looked down to the ground, and he let go of my left hand and lifted my chin up.

"I broke up with Alice because I love you" He said. No staggering. No nothing. He meant it. He leaned in a little bit...

I woke up. What the heck? I was in Nate's car. I must have fallen asleep on the way to school. Nate was filling up his car with gas. I looked down at my hands, still tied. I groaned, damn.
