I wake up in a dark room, sweaty and hot. I hold my head as I lean my back against a concrete wall. The room is empty, except for my warm, breathing body. I breathe heavily, panting almost. My head spins and I'm shaking all over. I almost yelp as I hear the iron door to the small room open. Cole is staring right back at me.
"Well looks who's awake now!" His voice soft spoken. He has cuts on his face and knuckles. I gulp as he shuts the door and locks it with a silver key. He then drops it in his pocket.
"So....." He says, sitting at the wall across from me. I nod my head and look back down at my fingers. I listen to our breaths, colliding in the room. It's quiet you could hear a pin drop. I finally look at him. He studies my face, squinting at me like he did when I was up in that tree.
He asks me why I'm so dressed up. I just say back,
"Really, this?" I'm wearing a navy blue jacket, with a black tank top underneath, denim short jeans, and brown cowboy boots.
I chuckle as he makes that remark. He laughs too.
"I was just kidding." I stop laughing as I remember who he is and what he wants to do.
"Do you really, you know?" He smiles, his teeth white and shiny.
"Of course not." his eyebrows raise, a sign of lying. I stand up, May back still against the wall.
"You liar!" I shout at him. He rises to his feet and puts his hands out at me.
"Whoa whoa, calm down. Just calm down Firess." He walks to me slowly, now I can see his perfect features. His hazel eyes glistening in the dim light. His smile as white as snow and hair, as black as burning wood.
Unable to take my eyes off him, he runs his hand across my face. I blush and walk to the side of the room, before he can do more.
He follows, I can't escape. It's like he has powers that are controlling me. He comes closer to my body, until we are sharing breathes, but mine are cut short. He pushes the hair from my face, behind my ear. I think about what he'll do next. His arms on either side of me, trapping me between him and the concrete wall.
No words are being spoken, complete silence. He wraps his arms around my waist, and surprisingly, I don't pull away. His body is warm. He looks into my eyes, coming closer to my face. I close my eyes as his lips touch mine, a flush of red comes into my cheeks, but I don't stop him. I keep my eyes closed. He lowers me to the ground, studying my face again. My eyes now open, brown and light in the dim lighting of the empty room.
He slides away from me as the door opens.
"Excuse me, Mr. Cole, what are you doing?" A tall man with dirty blond hair and piercing brown eyes says to Cole. He stands up quickly.
"Oh, uh nothing Austin, just uh-" Austin cuts him off with his sharp words.
"Come on, leave the lady alone, we have some talking to do."
