His sudden entrance at this time of the night made my heart jump into my mouth. I thought I was done with him for tonight but it seemed like I was wrong. I used a blanket to cover my legs. I don't know why but covering myself with it always made me feel safer. Like he couldn't fight my blanket and hurt me.
"Wha...What...d... do you want?" I asked quietly chewing on my lips nervously.
He came towards me and sat on the edge of the bed, next to me. "Here, your bag." He said putting my bag on the nightstand.
"Thanks." I murmured watching him closely, analysing his every move.
"Do you want to talk?" He asked looking into my eyes.
I circled my right arm around myself securely and put the other one on my right shoulder. "What do you want from me?"
He pressed his hand on my arm. "Kate..."
I pulled away immediately. "Don't touch me." I shouted scared, then scooted to the corner of bed to be as far as possible from him, hugging me knees tightly.
He sighed heavily then put his hands on his lap locking his fingers in each other. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just came here to talk. Nothing more."
I looked out of the window. "Say whatever you want and leave."
"I don't want to hurt you. I want you to feel safe here."
He waited for my answer but I said nothing. Safe? Seriously? What person in their right mind would feel safe when they had just been kidnapped? Was he out of his mind?
He continued, "Uhm... Actually, I live in the US. I go to university there. I'm studying medical science."
"What a psycho, lunatic doctor." The words jumped out of my mouth before I can stop them.
"I know how you feel. But believe me I didn't have any other choice."
"Really? So, what now? I'm here in this hell. Are you enjoying it?" I yelled furiously.
"Believe me, I'm not."
"So, let me go." I said looking into his eyes hopeful that he might actually let me go.
"I can't."
"Why?"
"Cause... I'm in love with you." He answered gazing down at his fingers, as he played with them.
"You see? You are crazy. You are ill. You need to see a psychologist." I shouted.
"Kate. Both of us know that you didn’t have such a beautiful happy life back in Spain."
"Life isn't so perfect all the time. I just had the problems that all teenagers have."
"But I can give you that life. The life that is perfect all the time."
"Really? So, you think I'm feeling perfect right now? Like I want to have wings and fly from excitement?"
I couldn't hold back the tears that were fighting with me to free themselves. So, I let them run out of my eyes and down to my cheeks.
"Oh my God. Kate. I'm really sorry. Please don't cry."
He came closer and tried to hug me to calm me down. But I shouted angrily hitting his arm, "Don't touch me."
He backed off. "Okay. Just don't cry please." He said seeming terrified and nervous.
Suddenly the door opened and Alexander came in. "Joseph. You're freaking the hell out of this girl. How about you leave the room and let me talk to her?"
Joseph turned his face to me. "Kate. Do you want to talk with Alexander?"
"Just get out." I shouted sobbing. I knew I was there for Joseph and it meant none of the other guys including Alexander would touch me. So, I was sure I would be safer with them.
He stood on his feet seeming upset and disappointed and left the room without saying a word.
"Can I come in?" Alexander asked after a few seconds of hesitation.
I knew he would answer all of my questions and also I don't know why but I felt at peace next to him. His voice was so warm and friendly like he wanted to help me and it put me at ease.
I nodded quietly.
He closed the door behind him, then walked towards me.
"Can I sit on the bed?" He asked with a soothing tone and it worked. It made me feel safer and calmer.
"Okay." I answered wiping my tears with the back of my hand.
He came closer and sat at the corner of the bed. Careful to not scare me.
I sat more comfortable on bed and pushed my blanket lower.
Alexander took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to me. "Wipe your tears with this."
"Thanks." I muttered keeping my head down.
"Do you want a glass of water?" He asked kindly.
I nodded silently. He left the room for a moment and came back a minute later with a glass of water in his hand.
"Thanks." I said with a weak smile appearing on my face.
"Do you feel better now?" He asked looking concerned.
"Yes. Thanks."
"Are you hungry? Do you want me to bring something for you to eat?"
"No. I'm fine." I said tucking my hair behind my ear.
"Okay. Uhm... do you wanna talk?" He asked sounding unsure.
"Yes. I need to know what's going to happen to me." I answered, pressing my lips tightly together, scared to hear the answer.
"Let me explain you everything from the start then." He said then bit his lip. "We are from a powerful family. The Gabrielle family. My grandpa is the leader of a big gang in Italy." He continued.
"So That's why no one asked us for a passport or ID and that plane..."
"Yes. That was my dad's private plane."
"Oh..." I said trying to process everything in my mind.
"I'm sure that you want to know how we know you and why you're here. Right?" He said locking his eyes on mine.
"Yes." I answered nervously.
"Okay. I'll answer all of your questions. My brothers and I were on a mission in Spain. We had to make some deals with another gang. We were supposed to stay there for ten days but my brother saw you in a café with your friend on the last day and fall in love with you. He asked us to stay a little bit longer without explaining the reason. And we accepted without questioning him as he never asked for favours without a good reason. He did some research about you and your family and found out that you're from a religious family and becoming your boyfriend is almost impossible. He also found out that you have lots of problems with your family and those problems had made it almost impossible for you to be happy. So, he came to us and asked us to help him kidnap you. Look. I know it may sound stupid but the only thing he wants for you is a happy life."
"Do I seem happy to you right now?" I asked angrily. God. What kind of psychos am I dealing with?
"It will pass and you know it."
"I'm kidnapped. Can you understand it? My problems would pass too and I would have a happy life. I would reach my dreams. I would build a life that I had always wanted for myself and have my happily ever after. But now I'm dealing with you. Do you know what you had done to me? You can't just kidnap someone and ask them to be calm and talk with them about love and stupid stuff like that. You can't sit here and talk about your brother's love towards me. Screw that love. I don't even believe in love at first sight. I want my fucking life back." I shouted.
"I can help you to get through this. But I can't take you back to your family. It's my brother's choice and decision not mine." He tried to explain then sighed heavily.
I nodded. "Okay. I get it." I bit my lip panicked.
He took my hand. "Look. I'll not let anything happen to you. Okay? You can trust me. I'll protect you from anything."
I smiled and put my other hand on his and squeezed it lightly. "Thanks. I'm not sure if you're telling the truth or not but I feel that I can trust you."
He smiled. "I'm happy to hear this. So, we are friends after this. Right?"
I nodded smiling. "Let's give it a try."
He squeezed my arm then got up. "Now get some rest. Sweet dreams, Kate."
