The early morning light shown through the windows, a beam of warm light hitting my face and causing my eyes to flutter open. I yawned and tried to rub my eyes, soon remembering my hands were still tied. I looked around and quickly noticed I wasn't on the couch anymore. I was laying on my side in a bed. It had blue covers and a very fuzzy blanket I was neatly tucked under. An apple clock sat on the wall in front of me showing, '7:06 A.M.' I started to wiggle my body, flipping sides and coming face-to-face with Wally.
I squeaked from surprise - and fear. He had been watching me the entire time. He smiled sweetly and moved his hands to my eyes, gently brushing away anything bothering them.
"Good-morning. Did you sleep well?" His voice was lowered an octave than the pervious night. I presumed this was his morning voice.
He looked at me with those crazed bedroom eyes and it was practically impossible not to let a blush creep up my neck. I've never been in bed with anyone before, let alone this close to another person.
"How did I get here?" I spoke up, my voice barely above a whisper.
"That wasn't my question... but, I brought you here, silly!" He cupped the side of my face and ran his thumb across my smooth skin. "You're wondering why, right? Well, I didn't think sleeping on a couch was very comfortable, my dear." He smirked down at me.
I rolled my eyes and awkwardly shuffled my body, managing to flip to the other side. I felt his hand creep around my waist. He pulled me close to his chest, my back now pressed against him. I felt his breath of my neck, causing me to jolt and shiver.
"Can you- please stop doing that?" I said, a little annoyed.
"What? This?"
I heard the mischievousness laced in his words but before I could react, he was blowing breaths into my neck. I started to squirm like crazy, not being able to hold back the laughs from my neck being so ticklish. His hand that was around my waist started to tickle my sides as he sat up over me. I felt tears prick my eyes as my laughter increased. He finally stopped and his smile beamed down at me. I couldn't help but smile as I had never laughed so hard before. He stared deep into my eyes as he spoke,
"Would you like me to make you some breakfast?" He leaned back onto the bed, swinging his feet over the side while he waited for my response.
"Uhm.." I tried to sit up too, but the restrictions made it all come rushing back to me.
This man kidnapped me. I started to hyperventilate a little bit because I couldn't move. His smile only seemed to widen, now twisting into something sinister. I started to struggle against the rope and crying out at the pain. He stood off the bed and made his way to my side.
"Would you like me to remove these?" He asked, grabbing my struggling hands and pulling them towards him.
"Yes, please. They hurt. I promise I won't do anything, please." I pleaded, a bit embarrassed with myself for giving into his order so easily but it was all apart of the plan.
"Okay. Just remember what I told you! Ha. Ha." He carefully undid the knot of the ropes, gently taking them off my hands and holding them.
He inspected the red ring that had formed from the ropes rubbing against them so hard. He brought my sore hands up to his lips and kissed them.
"Thank-you." I said, looking up at the apple clock.
He let go of my wrists and made his way out of the bedroom. He peaked back in and motioned his head for me to follow him. Unsteadily, I got off the bed and followed behind him through the bedroom and back into the living room. He was about to head into the kitchen before turning around.
"Would you like to cook with m-"
The sound of knocking erupted from the door. I thought nobody else was here. this is my chance at freedom. Wally watched me look at the door and before I had the chance to move, he had grabbed me from behind and put his hand over my mouth. He hushed me with a whisper and dragged me back to his bedroom.
"Stay in here. If you make a recuse, someone might end up hurt." He chuckled before shutting the bedroom door.
I put my ear against the wooden door and listened in on the whole conversation.
He opened the front door to see Julie. She smiled brightly and held up a tray of cookies.
"Hiya, Wally! I decided to bake cookies for all of the neighbors and I thought I'd let you try the first batch since your cooking is amazing. Oh- but, give me your honest opinion."
She shoved a carefully iced cat cookie into his hands, earning a smile from Wally.
"Thank-you, Julie! You're so kind. I'm sure everyone will love these."
Wally stared intently at the cookie, blinking fast. He did this two more times and the entire cookie was gone.
"Soooooo, what do ya' think?" Julie said, placing the tray into his now empty arms.
"Oh, wow, Julie! These are amazing! What did you use for these? I'll have to try it some time."
———————————————-———————————————-———————————————-
Before Julie could tell Wally her secret recipe, I ran out of his bedroom and into the living room.
Julie saw me before Wally, her eyes lighting up. Wally knew exactly she was looking at. He turned away from the door and glared daggers at me. If looks could kill, I'd be dead. Julie pushed past Wally and came to me, shaking my hand and bouncing around me and complimenting my hair, not giving much time to ask for help. Wally stood behind her, staring at me.
"Well, Julie, I think they're very tired. They just moved in yesterday night. How about you come back later and we can all have a nice dinner?" Wally threw on his poker face and smiled sweetly at Julie as she sighed out an 'Awh, man' and made her way out of the door.
Wally shut the door, and locked it. He turned around to look at you with a killer smile on his face. He started laughing hysterically and began to make his way over to where I stood, frozen in fear. My fight or flight kicked in and I ran back to the bedroom. I quickly slid underneath the bed. He opened the door, then shut and locked it - trapping us alone together.
"Hide and seek? Oh, you know me so well! It's my favorite." He said, his anger cutting through me like knives.
This was going to be one rough night.
