There's No Escape

Chapter 18

Hazel POV

I woke up with a gasp and looked around the room. The sun was shining brightly through the window, making the room glow. I sat up and knocked something off the bed. Leaning off the side of the bed, I saw the book Nex read to me. He must have forgotten it or something.

Picking up the book, I smiled down at the cover remembering what happened last night. My smile soon faltered after also remembering that Nex promised that he was going to come early in the morning. Where was he?

I placed the book on the bedside table and picked up the glass of water and drank half of it. After setting it back down, I threw the covers off me and got up. I don't know why I got up, since the door was locked and I had nowhere to go, but I did and just stood there having no idea what to do.

Thankfully I heard the doorknob jiggle and then the door opened revealing Nex wearing black cargo pants with a baggy black long-sleeved shirt. A huge smile formed on his face when he saw me standing there.

"Good morning." He said.

"Morning." I smiled back and walked closer to him. "Mind if I use the washroom? Maybe shower?"

"Of course."

I turned around and grabbed the bag, before walking out into the hallway and into the bathroom. "I'll try and be quick."

"Ok. I'm going to go downstairs and start breakfast. Meet me down there?"

I nodded my head and smiled before closing the door. I stripped out of the clothes I slept in while the water warmed up again, and then took out the toothbrush and toothpaste to brush my teeth. Once I was showered and my teeth and hair were brushed, I packed up the bag. I had thrown on some leggings and a dark shirt that had been in the bag.

I picked the bag up and took it to my room, and threw the pajamas down on the bed while the bag was chucked to its designated spot on the floor. I couldn't stop the smile from being plaster to my face as I skipped down the hall towards the stairs. At the top of the stairs I stopped and looked at the door leading into Nex's bedroom.

I wanted badly to see what was on the other side, but I was going to have to wait until he allowed me in. I really don't want to hurt him, and invading his privacy was sure to hurt him. I made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"I made porridge." He smiled at me, as he handed me the bowl and spoon.

"Thank you." I sat down on the stool. "What time is it?"

"Around three."

I stared at him with my mouth slightly open. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You needed the sleep. I thought you would be fine with that."

I looked down at my porridge. I slept for over eighteen hours. Why?

I picked up a bit of the porridge and took a bite. It tasted really sweet. How much sugar had he put in?

I looked up to him to see him watching me carefully. "What?"

"Nothing." He quickly said and started eating his porridge.

We ate in silence for the rest of breakfast. I sat in confusion the entire time, trying to answer some of the questions that were swirling in my head. When I finished my last bite, I got up with the bowl in my hand and placed it into the sink. Nex copied me.

"Shall we?" Nex reached out his hand for me to take.

I raised my eyebrow, but then took his hand as he led me up the stairs back into my room. After walking through the door, Nex let go of my hand and closed the door behind him. He walked over to me, smiling down and grabbed my waist with his two hands. Right as his lips pressed against mine, I felt the butterflies fly around deep within my stomach. A few moments of this passed before he moved his head, so he was now kissing my neck. My heart hammered out of my chest as I felt his lips trail up and down, and then back up again. He kissed all the way down to my collarbone and then up to my ear.

"I love you." He whispered.

I closed my eyes as he went back to kissing my neck. "I love you too."

He let out a chuckle and then I let out a gasp. He had picked me up and thrown me down onto the bed. I giggled as he crawled on top of me. Of course I was still scared, but I trusted Nex. He wouldn't hurt me.

He went back to kissing my neck as I let my hands trail all over him. From his chest, to his arms and then I wrapped my fingers through his hair while he pressed his lips back to mine.

I'm not sure how long we kissed for, but after a little while I started getting very tired. My movements were slowing and my eyes were drooping closed. I tried my best to stay awake, but it was like trying to hold your breath. After a while, I slipped into unconsciousness.
