Chapter 64 Got kidnapped
Chapter seventy
Jones
What did she mean by she has been instigated?
Why do I keep thinking there's someone behind her? She spoke so bravely. I wonder if the person is someone Dave feared.
Wait a moment, can it be who I'm thinking it to be? What if it's Mr. Richard Margray? That's dangerous, right?
The door opens suddenly and Dave rushes in. He stops for a moment as he stares at me. His face comprises different kinds of emotions, ones I can figure out. Then, he rushes forward and pulls me into a tight hug. I stay there and smell his cologne.
With the closeness, I can hear his heartbeat. He seems anxious or has something happened to him?
I hug him back, putting my hands around him. I like it, I like it like this.
But I wonder why he had that kind of expression on his face. What could have happened?
He pulls back now and a smile appears on his face. I smile too and look up at him.
He dips his head in and kisses me briefly on the lip. He withdraws but I act so quickly, kissing him back before I would think of stopping myself.
When I finally pull away, he stares at me with confused brows. He told me that day that he would wait. He would let me take the first step of kissing him. I wouldn't wait any longer. Not after what Betty said today. Dave is mine and mine alone.
Dave laughs now, a short but humorous one. I smile now and look away.
He holds my hand and walks me to the sofas. I sit and so does he.
He holds both my hands in his and stares right into my eyes, "I want you to trust me as from today's henceforth."
I raise a confused look, " Is something wrong?"
He smiles the more, though he seems to be making it faint, "Some dramas will unfold soon. I want you to sit back and trust me, will you?"
I wanted to tell him about Cynthia but decided against it immediately. Whatever the issue was, Dave seems disturbed and I won't add to his troubles.
I nod slowly, "I trust you already."
He pulls me into another hug.
Does it have to do with Cynthia?
I left work earlier today but I had to get some stuff at the supermarket. And since it's near my house, I decided to trek up. Dave would have followed me home but I had to say a lot to convince him. He's so lovely and he has a kind heart.
I'm in black pants and a pink blouse. I'm wearing a light slipper that makes it hard for me to work.
It got so dark quickly today. The darkness always reminds me of my father. Most days, he would spend the night over as a security man. He worked so hard. It's a pity his hard work didn't pay off.
I would have been the happiest girl on earth if he was still alive. I miss him so much.
I hear soft footsteps behind me. I stop walking and look back but there's no one behind me.
Here is a dark and lonely subway. I come here whenever I feel troubled. Because most times, there's always no one to distract you and I would eventually be able to think through and get back to my usual self.
I continued to walk and I heard it again.
Now, this is getting suspicious. I fear something is wrong somewhere. I didn't see anyone behind me but I couldn't stop thinking. My sixth sense is telling me someone is on my tail.
I start to run now. I'm fast, I'm always fast.
I stop suddenly, feeling hydrated. I look around me and take a left route but stop suddenly again as some man jumps before me.
What the fuck!
I jumped up and hit one in the chest. I punch one and roll to kick another. I move closer to another but stop suddenly when he brings out a gun and points at me.
I look at the men as they all point guns at me.
"Who are you and what do you want from me!" I scream at them. A man jumps up and kicks me away. I fall to the ground but look up at them again. They were all dressed in a black suits.
Are they fucking kidding me?
One move closer to me and before I could say anything else, a white handkerchief was pressed against my nose. It smelt weird and I knew I was just drugged.
Opening my eyes, I realize I'm in the chain. I'm on the chair and the ropes were tied around me. I tried to jerk off but I couldn't.
"Who is there!" I scream out into the darkness that's around me. There's only evidence of light and that's from the lantern close to me. Everywhere is dark.
Who could have brought me here? Who kidnapped me? Can this be a normal case of kidnap?
But this isn't the first time I will be walking the path.
"You are awake?" A deep voice jerks me out of my thoughts.
I look up at the figure before me. It's a man with a broad chest. He's tall and unfamiliar.
"Who are you? And what am I doing here?"
He laughs and walks away.
What the heck just happened!
" Hey! Get back here!" I scream at him.
If they were pointing a gun at me, I would have beat the hell out of them.
Fuck them!
I should have learned how to dodge a bullet!
And they don't look like kidnappers to me. And they don't look as though they want to murder me either.
It seems like they know who I am. Do they know I am Dave's girlfriend?
But we are yet to show the world that. Well, people at Dave's company are aware of it, especially Kim.
And because she got fired because of me. Can it be that she wants to retaliate?
Oh My God!
What should I do?
