He pulled back with a soft smile on his face.
Nathan. It seemed perfect and sounded satisfying in my head.
I could say that all day. Nathan…
I bit my lip from smiling too hard. « Nathan. » I said softly, letting the name roll off of my tongue.
His eyes turned a darker shade of green as he looked into mine intensely, making me feel all kinds of ways.
« Nice name. » I said lamely.
« Thanks I worked hard on it. » He winked at me, and that did it to set off my cheeks getting flushed.
He examined my face as I tried to look anywhere but into those entrapping emerald eyes.
« We should get some rest. » He stated finally, letting me go from his secure hold and turning to walk down the hall.
I awkwardly stood there, not knowing if I should follow him or if I was expected to stay here and sleep on the couch.
« Are you coming or are you just gonna stand there like an idiot ? » He called out from his room.
I simply huffed, holding back the rising blush on my face, before finally walking down to his room.
I glanced down at the clothes I had on. My only pair of clothes.
« I need something to sleep in. » I called out to him.
I didn't know where he was, probably behind one of these doors.
« I know. » He muttered, followed by some shuffling.
« Where am I sleeping ? » I asked.
« On the bed. » He answered.
« Where are you sleeping ? » I called out, looking around to see if there was a couch or something.
« On the bed. » He repeated.
Wait, what ?
« So we're… Sleeping together ? » I asked awkwardly.
« Yes. » He confirmed.
« On the same bed ? As in under the same blanket ? » I asked nervously.
I heard a sigh, then saw him come out from what I guessed was his closet, a white shirt balled up in his hand.
« Yes, princess. Sorry I can't afford a king sized bed for you. » He said sarcastically.
« But… » I trailed off, trying to find a reason why sleeping on the same bed might not be a good idea.
« I toss around a lot ! » I exclaimed, mentally high-fiving myself for that save.
« That makes two of us then. » He said, walking to his dresser and opening a few drawers, searching for something.
« But-but-« I stuttered like a helpless girl in those movies where there's this- never mind…
« But what ? Calm down princess, I'll stay on my side, and you can stay on yours. » He assured me, throwing the white shirt at me and going back to his closet.
« You can change in the washroom. » He called out.
I gulped and made my way to his washroom.
I stared at myself in the mirror, feeling like an idiot. I had a large T-shirt on that only covered down to my mid thigh, leaving the rest of my legs bare.
I was so glad I had gotten that laser hair removal thing on my legs, otherwise I would have cactus legs right now.
I took a deep breath and peeked out the door.
Nathan was standing facing the wall, his back to me.
It looked like he was on a phone or something, which confused me considering there was no signal up here.
I could make a sprint to the bed and jump under the covers before he turns around…
I didn't take time to think over my other options and made a wild run towards the bed. I tended to follow through with my ideas immediately after thinking them up. I guess you could say I liked to live like a rebel.
I was almost at the large inviting bed, before I tripped over air and face planted into the carpet.
Amazing.
I groaned and slowly pushed myself up, turning around to see Nathan standing there, staring at my legs.
I so badly wanted to dissolve into the air right now.
I cleared my throat awkwardly.
« Aren't you gonna help me up ? » I asked.
Instead of holding out a hand, which he seemed to be doing a lot of lately, he burst out laughing.
Even more amazing.
I waited impatiently for him to shut up as I sat there with an angry glare.
Once his laughter had died out, he held out a hand.
I ignored it, using the blanket on the bed to pull myself up.
I thought for a second I'd drag it down with me and fall again, but I thankfully caught my balance and stood up straight. I tried not to let my accomplished smile show too much on my face.
I climbed onto the bed, sliding my body beneath the thick blanket and snuggled into his comfy bed, ignoring his gaze on me.
I heard him let out a soft laugh, before I heard him walk away to shuffle around in his room.
After a while, I felt the bed shift and the blanket move as he slid under the covers himself.
The room became dark as he shut off the lights. « Goodnight princess. » He said softly.
« Night napper. » I muttered, half asleep.
I heard him mumble something in frustration about his real name, before delving into a deep sound sleep. I almost forgot I was under the same covers as my kidnapper.
Wait hold up-
