Its been about a month since everything has happened. I've gotten closer to Justin, and he even got a room in my penthouse until he finds a new house to live in so he is close to me. It's odd waking up next to him in the morning. 

My dad was reluctant to let Justin stay with us, but he figured it was only fair since Justin saved me. Only my dad said I am not to go in Justin's room, same for Justin. Little does my dad know, Justin sneaks out every night to crawl in next to me. I'm practically waiting for him, laying on my side staring at my door. He'll crawl in, without a shirt, and slide in next to me. Hell just hug me tight, curling his body around mine as he digs his face in my neck and falls asleep. I take a little bit to fall asleep every night, wondering how the hell this became my life. 

It seems like something out of a book, the girl falling for her kidnapper. I don't really know or have an excuse as to why I love Justin, I just do. He's perfect, besides the fact he's killed and isn't afraid to kill anyone who hurts me. I told him to take some management classes for his anger, and he promised me he will in the future. 

Also, as far as I can tell, Justin retired Draco and taken up the full-time job of being my boyfriend. He's so cute. Sometimes, I'll walk out of my new job to him grinning at me, or sometimes, he will come into my work and make me laugh before stealing kisses in the corners. I'm happy with Justin. 

I think my dad likes Justin too. Despite once being a raging criminal, Justin has manners and is nice to my dad. Hell comment on my dad's suit, talk about the weather and even talk about my father's favorite sport--football. I'm glad they get along so well. 

Justin's healing nicely from all the stab wounds he has. I'm healing nicely as well, only its taking a little more time to heal mentally. I cannot ignore how my best friend betrayed me, therefore making a hole in my trust. There are only two people I trust as of now, and that's the two boys I live with. Even the girls at work I have a hard time talking to. But they understand. I mean, not all girls get kidnapped. 

"Bella?" Justin suddenly speaks, making me groggily look up at him. Its midnight and we both have just been cuddling while watching a movie. 

"Yeah?" I ask. I move my eyes down to look at his chest, my fingers brushing over every ridge in his stomach. Goosebumps assault his arms at my touch, making me smirk. 

"Nothing. Just wanted to hear your voice," he whispers, running his fingers through my hair. I giggle against him. "Your giggle is adorable, darling." I just giggle more while grinning against his chest, burying my face in his chest. His warm skin is soft against my face, making me literally just want to stay here forever. "Don't be embarrassed," he purrs against me as his hands trail down my back more. "I'm just stating the truth."
