His lips are sweet. Like cinnamon gum. We kissed but not for long. I had to break up the kiss before it leads to anything I'd regret. I don't even know this guy! Am I in love with my kidnapper? He clears his throat and says "well Addisyn I should go... You can come with me if you'd like... It'll be a lot warmer..." He half smiles
"Only on two conditions.
One: tell me about yourself.
And two: did you enjoy the kiss?" I say
"I'll tell you everything you need or want to know. And for the record, yes I did enjoy it."
He takes my hand and we walk out the door.
"What's your full name?" He asks me
"Addisyn Mae Smith. I'm surprised you don't know that..."
He chuckles and says "I don't know everything about you... And my name is Leighton Reese Elliott"
"I always wanted to name my first child Reese... If it were a boy... I don't think I could handle a girl. And besides I'm only seventeen. Not ready for that big of a responsibility."
"Me either."
"Tell me about yourself Leighton Reese Elliott" I say with a smile.
"I'm eighteen. Moved to Oregon when I was one. I ran away from home... I had an abusive mother and an alcoholic druggie for a dad. I found Tate and Jenny, who are 21 year old twins and they took me to Caden, who is 23."
"Oh Leighton... I'm so sorry."
"It's okay. The past is the past." He rolls up his sleeves and I see scars. A few on his right arm and a lot on his left. My eyes get wide but I smile at him and say "we are just alike." I take the hem of my shirt and raise it up to where my bra is slightly showing. Red scratches and cuts surround my belly button. "The only difference is that mine are new, yours are old" I finish.
He takes me to his room and I walk in seeing a larger room with a King size bed. He takes a seat on the bed and motions me to sit beside him. He reaches over me and turns off the lamp. He hands me a tee-shirt since I have nothing else to wear and I read the writing "Don't grow up it's a trap" I turn around to change but I can still feel his eyes on me. Burning into my skin like the hot sun. His shirt goes to my mid-thighs. I face him, his eyes still on me, as walk to the bed. We lay there silently, not even the annoying sound of crickets. He reaches his arm over my body and takes my hand. We stay silent and I close my eyes and drift off...
