Hostages (Book 2)

Chapter 17

Aria woke up by the brightness through out the room and Zachary peak green eyes. She sighed and dug her head further into the pillow and said, "How long were you watching me sleep?"

"Since six,six thirty. It's about to be ten." His rasp voice rang through her ears.

"Well can you stop? I think you've done enough stalking for a lifetime."

"Can't help it. But on the bright side,your more gorgeous unconscious than when your awake."

"Thanks?"

"Your welcome,now its time for you to get up."

"I'm no longer kept hostage by you so I awake when I'm good and ready."

"It's cute that you thought that was a suggestion."

She felt his lips fold over hers. She didn't react with the tiredness taking over her body again but she knew he was right,again. She had to get up. Zachary slid out from under the blanket and left the room,he got a beep from his phone and right on que there was a knock at the door. Louis immediately took out his gun along with the others when Zach got to it.

"Calm down,its just our bags."

He opened the door and in rolled all their luggages.

"Who's do these belong to?" Liam asked as he helped.

"Everyone. When we got here I called a friend to bring my clothes and to go to Ari's house for hers,Naomi and you five." He wheeled them into the living room and put them on the couch. "Your welcome."

"And while you did that,you risked giving away the girls location." Niall said as he went to his suitcase.

Zach brought Arias' and his suitcase in the room just as she was getting out of bed,she walked over to her suitcase and picked out clothes before heading for a bathroom.

.......
When everyone was showered and dressed they got a small breakfast to go down stairs then headed for the garage. Aria sat her coffee in the cup holder in the passenger seat when Zach stopped her.

"Wait. You can't sit here."

She tore a piece of her bagel and looked at him. "Why not?"

"Because we have to go somewhere and I can't have you in this particular seat."

She narrowed her eyes at him before relaxing her face and taking her coffee. She sat in the seat behind it and Liam took her first spot,Zachary started the car and they left.

"Where are we going?"

"Everyone in this car gas a gun with no bullets. Can't go to their house like sitting ducks and it just so happens that I get a delivery today,we'll pick it up then head to the house." He replied.

"You know,I find it ironic that all this happens the way it did. We find out your alive and secretly dating my sister then the same night people come and kill everything we tried so hard to build after your first stunt. Then you know a 'perfect' hotel to go to with and a receptionist that already knew your name. THEN you have a delivery the next day for weaponry."

"Like I told you before,I didn't and wouldn't plan a mini war in the same house as Aria. And one of my associates owns that hotel and it's a coincidence that I have a delivery today. I have nothing to do with what happened last night,"he turned a corner and stopped at a red light "and as long as Aria believes me I can care less about the rest of your ideas."

They drove to the other side of town to the bay and parked before the docks. Zach got out and sat his gun in the drivers seat,he looked at Aria before everyone else. "Can one of you please make sure she doesn't leave this car or go in front of any untinted windows?"
