After Luke was fully clothed, we sat together on one of the beds and each took a slice of pizza, completely ignoring the scene from earlier.
"So you don't have anyone?" Luke asks, swallowing hard.
Okay I take back that thought, we aren't ignoring the scene from earlier.
"Not really. I lost my parents before I even turned one. Tragic story, really." I casually shrug.
"No siblings? Close friends?" Luke asked, shocked.
I just shake my head, and give a little toss to my shoulders.
"Woah." Luke breathes quietly.
"Well I have you, don't I?" I laugh, playfully leaning over and punching him in the arm.
"Yeah." Luke grins widely.
"What about you? Ya know, besides the other boys back at the house." I ask, refusing to take another piece of pizza.
"I get the occasional one night stands but once girls find out about what I do, they leave. I don't really mind though." Luke awkwardly shifts in his seat.
There is an awkward silent pause, and I can't help but laugh slightly.
"I have you though, don't I?" Luke mockingly leans over and punches me in the arm. I laugh loudly, which causes Luke to grin.

We talked a little more about where I worked, and average life stuff. Eventually Luke shuffled over to the other bed, and the two of us drifted asleep.

It never really hit me that this is something I would enjoy. It's not like my life back home was any better.
Wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, fall asleep watching Criminal Minds. That is my sad excuse for a life.
At least with Luke I have someone to talk to, even if I am being held captive in the process.
He's not that bad looking either. Actually -not that bad looking- is an understatement, he is hot as f*ck.
He doesn't treat me horrible either. Honestly, my life is better with Luke.

My life is better being kidnapped. I never would have thought I would have thought that.

Danny is amazing.
I kidnapped her for f*ck sakes, but she hasn't tried to escape once.
I never really kidnap girls. Usually if someone over hears us Daniel takes care of them right then. But something about Danny caught my attention. Maybe it was her innocent green eyes, or beautiful blonde hair but something just screamed perfection. You don't mess with perfection, right?

I couldn't imagine her screaming, begging for her life. It hurt.
She talks to me like I'm a normal person, as if I'm just one of her friends. I'm amazed she hasn't fought to go home, I would assume her life is amazing.
But I'm totally fine with her staying, in fact I think I'm going to ask her to stay with us.

Honestly, I don't know what love feels like, but I have this feeling where whenever I see her my happiness is inevitable and I think that's what love is?

I just wish our love wasn't illegal.
