ASHLEY’S POV:

  Had I really just said yes to him? Maybe I did feel safe with him, and I did like him a little but I still had feelings for jake! I scolded myself, trying to push the thoughts out of my mind.  

  "Plus finding out that my own father was trying to kidnap me to take over didn’t really make me anymore excited. If he had wanted to kidnap me then why hadn’t he done it before?" Again, I scolded myself for thinking about my father. 

  “Can we watch a movie?” I asked Richie eagerly, hugging him. He cuddled up to my side, before giving me a sly smile. 

  “I don’t know, we can if you sit on my lap beautiful.“ He taunted smiling; but trying not to. 

  “Sure, I’ll sit on your lap, if you really want me to. What movie can we watch?” I said shyly. My cheeks flushed to a light pink color.  "I might like it here. Richie was actually kind of sweet…"  I thought. 

After five minutes of arguing between Grown ups, and beautiful creatures, I finally won with Beautiful creatures. We giggled happily. 

  I popped the movie in and slid comfortably in Hunter's lap, still a bit nervous.   I smiled to myself, addmitting to myself that I actually like how it felt to be there with him. I felt… secure. Hunter put his arms around me with a big smile. 

  “Are you enjoying this?” I asked him still watching the movie.

  “Very much princess.” He grinned holding me closer, which I didn’t mind at all.  

  “That’s good, I’m enjoying it too.” I looked away from the tv only to be met by Hunter's lips against mine. I kissed him back instantly, wanting more. When we stopped I was disappointed that we WERE done. 

  “Where did that come from?” I asked surprised and slightly out of breath.

  “I’m not sure exactly, it just kind of happened. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that.” He explained, and apologized.

  “You don’t have to be sorry, I liked it. But I’m tired, can we go to bed?” I looked at him and kissed him again, this time slowly, enjoying his soft lips on mine. I felt him pick me up and suddenly I was sat softly on a bed with Richie next to me. 

  “Thanks for carrying me. But you didn’t have to.” I whispered, trying not to smile. 

  “I wanted to. I care about you so much.” He whispered back with a smile. I loved his smile. It made me want to smile.

  I closed my eyes, drifting off to sleep, feeling Hunter cuddle up to me and put his arms around me. We fell asleep that way. It was nice.

 (HOURS LATER)

  I woke up to a huge bang. Someone was trying to get in the house. I shook Hunter, waking him up.

  “There’s someone trying to get in!” I told him with a shaky voice.

  He sat up, and pulled out three pistols. “I wont let her hurt you, I promise.”

  “What/ Who is “her”?” I asked confused and scared.

  “Holly. She is your father’s best tracker. I think she was sent to find you and bring you to him.” He rushed out, picking me up and rushing to the back door. He grabbed a set of car keys and ran out putting me in the driver’s seat of the car and getting in the driver’s side.
