Chapter Ten
The next morning, I woke up to a quiet house. I got up and dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans, and tight white shirt, And did my hair up in a high pony tail. I Walked to the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee, then Decided to explore the house some more, and maybe see if I could find Darek. Its weird though I don't remember hearing him leave this morning. Unless he left late last night. At the thought of that my stomach turns.
An hour later I'm sitting in the living room reading a book that I had packed with the rest of my stuff. It's still early in the morning when I hear the front door swing open and closed. I stand up quickly to see who it is, when Darek comes strolling in with nothing but sweat pants on and no shirt, showing off his sweaty abs. I look away quickly so that I'm not caught staring.
A smile firms on my lips as I think of my friend Mac and what she would say if she saw him. Something along the lines of " holy shit talk about fuck me abs." I snort to myself.
" what's so funny" I his deep voice taking me out of my thoughts, that seems to be happening a lot. I look back over at him my face going a little red. " uh nothing. Just thinking about my friend is all, anyways I wondered where you were this morning, now I know." He look down at himself not bothered at all that he's not wearing a shirt. " oh yah I normally go for run to burn off some steam, sorry I thought you would still be sleeping."
He starts walking towards the kitchen so i follow behind. " no I couldn't sleep anymore.. To much on my mind." He grabs a glass of water and chugs it down. Things start to feel a little awkward again, Darek shifts on his feet and head out of the kitchen but stops at the doorway." I'm going to take a quick shower, then head back out. I have somewhere I need to be."
Hearing that I think to myself finally I can get out of this house for a bit. But before I could say anything he adds. " you can't come, it's a private matter, and not safe for you to be out there. I feel better knowing your safe here." He goes to walk further up the hallway towards the shower, but I catch up to him and grab his arm. He turns to me with his eyebrows scrunched in and looks at where my hand is grabbing him.
"Please let me come. I've been stuck in the house all day, I understand my life is at risk, but if I stick close you I'll be safe." I give him my best pleading look. Darek grabs my hand off his arm and looks down at me with one eyebrow raised in amusement but soon turns cold. "No I need to concentrate and not have to worry about keeping you safe." After saying that he leaves me with out another word.
--------------------------------------------
Few hours later that night I hear the front door open and close letting me know Darek had left. Now usually I would do as I'm told and stay behind where it's safe. But I'm so tiered of being kept in the dark for every thing else. I feel like so much is happening and I have no idea what that is. So I sneak out a few minutes later to follow Darek. I see him up head slipping past the gates on foot. Obviously he's doing something really secretive if he not taking his car. I follow far behind trying to keep my distance so I don't get caught. After 8 blocks and what feel like so many turns darek slows down a dark ally way with a rusted gray chipped door, he knocks twice and the door swings opened but it's to dark to see what the person looks like, Darek slips in quickly and the door is shut once again. Shoot I didn't think this far ahead. I stand in the ally way and see if I can hear anything, but the building is built with bricks, and impossible to hear. Well this is a bust I think to myself. It's freezing outside anyways as the night time wind sets in.
I go to turn around out from the ally way and start heading back the way we came, hoping I don't get lost. Especially in this naibourhbod. Before I could get very far two men step out from nowhere in front of me blocking my path. I swallow already regretting my decision to leave the house. I go to turn around to head back to see where Darek went but one of the men blocked my way again. " www... What do you want." I stammer the two men look at each other then look back at me with big grind on their faces. "Oh I think you know what we want honey." The bigger looking bald guy says in Scottish sounding accent " yeah. Nothing like a good surprise to find out in this neighbourhood. What brings you all the ways out here." The other scrawny looking man says.
I square my shoulders trying to present myself with my determined confidence. "I'm actually meeting someone around here. And they should be here any minute. So if you'll excuse me I need to make sure I'm not running late."
The bigger guy sneers at me, and grabs my arm roughly pulling me closer towards him. I automatically scream as loud as I can in fear and try to break free of my arm but he's to strong. The scrawny guy just laughs at me as if I'm wasting my time.
