from a while back. I smiled back at him.
“Okay.”
“Only if you promise not to escape.”
“I wouldn’t…and I don’t feel like your prisoner anymore. I’m not sure where I would even go. All I knew was work back home, now I don’t have that,” I said honestly. His eyes widened in surprise then they softened for me.
“I’m sorry for that.”
“It’s okay, I would have found out the truth eventually anyways, the sun always comes up.” He smiled.
“I like that, the sun always comes up.” Almost as if on cue, the sun rose higher and I felt like my eyes were burning. I shielded my eyes from the sun and Dan got up to close the curtains.
“Sorry…so how about that shower?”
“You’re saying I smell?” I joked as I got up. He laughed with me.
“I wouldn’t be a gentleman if I said yes.”
He led me to the bathroom. Being in there with him reminded me of my dream…I had to stop thinking about that.
“I’ll run to the store and get you some things.”
“Okay…Justin isn’t here is he?” I was honestly afraid of that man. I felt like he could snap any moment and come after me ... kill me.
“No, don’t worry I’ll fill him in. He won’t hurt you, I promise.”
“Okay.” I nodded, trusting him.
“I’ll be back shortly.” He turned and left me alone.
I turned the water on so it could get hot as I undressed. His few nutritious meals gave me energy so it didn’t exhaust me just to take my clothes off. I stepped under the hot water and immediately relaxed. In the back of my mind, I wished Dan was in the shower with me. I appreciated the time alone because I could think about how the situation was playing out. I had feelings for Dan, there was no denying it. I found myself wanting to be near him all the time, and just knowing that I didn’t have to go back in that hole ever again almost brought tears to my eyes.
I tried my luck with my hair, seeing if it would get any better. Running the hot water over it made it a little better but I would really have to work at it with a brush. All they had was Irish Springs soap, but it was soap nonetheless. I washed myself everywhere, feeling myself come clean.
I grabbed one of the towels and dried off then I realized I didn’t have any clothes to wear, and I was not about to put those nasty clothes back on. I wrapped the towel around myself and went into the next bedroom. It didn’t take long for me to realize that it was Dan’s. I rummaged through his drawers and found a WU shirt, I smiled to myself and put it on. It smelled just like him.
I looked around his room, his bed was neatly dressed and done in hospital corners, and it reminded me of my dad. He must have done some time in the military, it would explain a lot. I remembered him saying he didn’t live there, so it made sense that there wasn’t much there, but you could still tell that it was his.
I had trouble adjusting to being able to move around freely, I looked at the TV like it was a foreign object, but I turned it on. The news channel was on so I kept watching, secretly hoping me or Rory Corp wasn’t on there. If we were, then like Dan said, the police would be looking for me. I wanted to stay with Dan, it was like my escape from my mundane life. I only wished I could talk to Mallory, tell her I was safe. It seemed selfish to be so happy when she was probably worried sick about me.
I crossed my legs on his bed but was uncomfortable --I knew that would happen. I couldn’t be comfortable on such soft material, I sat down on the floor instead and felt better. I was probably still in shock, or maybe it was just still being in the house but I knew I was going to have trouble with some things.
I heard Dan come in through the front door, soon he appeared in his bedroom. He took in my attire slowly, looking me from top to bottom as he dropped the bags on the bed.
“I hope you don’t
