one second i was having a great time dancing with a girl i work with, the next shes dead and im being held at gunpoint by a crazy man. i zone out looking down at my now dead friend. i dont even notice the man talking to someone else till a gun shot rings out. 

i jump slightly and look up to see where the shot had come from. before i can see who killed the man, my vision blurs and i almost hit the floor before arms surround me so i dont make the impact. 

i can swear the last thing i see is a set of dark black eyes staring down at me.

.... 12 hours later ....

i wake up to the sound of voices. finally gaining full consciousness to understand my surroundings, i notice im in my bed. i dont remember coming back home. 

assuming i had gotten too drunk to have memory of it, i get out of the bed. groaning because of my killer headache though. i make my way from where i hear the voices. as i get to my living room they stop, i see dj and nicholas. 

dj looks pissed while glaring at nicholas and nicholas is staring at me with a worried frown.

" hey sleepyhead, how you feeling?" nicholas says while making his way over to me. he hugs me and stands back probably realizing im not in the mood for physical touch with this hangover. i just groan in response and sit on the couch.

"well you drank so much last night and called me so i figured you would have a killer hangover. so i brought hot tee!" he exlaims smiling. 

i scowl at him for being so loud but then smile because he had sweetly brought me my favorite beverage. " thank you." i mumble.

i hum in delight as the liquid heaven meets my tastebuds. " so what happened last night? howd i get here?" i ask.

"i brought you home, you had called me saying you lost your friends at the club and asked if i could give you a ride." nicholas said.

" oh, i dont remember anything past dancing with pate." i reply.

nicholas goes to speak but gets a phone call that he accepts and steps out to talk.

" i dont trust him!" dj whisper-shouts.

"you dont trust anybody around me." i say taking a sip of tea.

"well something seems off about him." he tells me in a quiet voice incase nicholas can hear.

"relax. i can handle myself" i tell him.

"this is the reason youre going to end up kidnapped again one day." he sighs .

dj walks into his room after not getting a response back. nicholas isnt a bad guy. ive had my fair share of bad guys and nicholas does not fit in that catagory, hes too sweet and genuine for that. 

on the other hand, his brother most defiantly checks every box. hes the dangerous brother, ecspecially because of how attractive that man is.

nicholas walks back in saying that he has to go but he will see me later for a movie night if i want. of course i say yes since i love his company. he hugs me and then hes out the door to wherever his hurry was for. i sigh while going back into my room.

might as well sleep more cause this headache is killing me.
