Denzel
I watched Janet as she sat on the floor writing. It had been two months since she had been in the hospital and she has been different ever since, but in a good way. She isn't so stiff anymore and I loved that.
Like right now, Eissa was asleep and she was laying on the floor with headphones in, holding a pillow in between her legs, and going back and forth between writing and sketching. I didn't even know she drew. It was almost like watching a teenager. "Oh, Denzy. Look at this." She took her headphones out and I sat next to her.
"What is it?" She showed me her sketchbook. It was a rose drawn in the shape of a heart. "That's nice."
"Thank you." She put it to the side and went back to writing in her journal. I just continued to watch her. "Baby."
"Hmm?"
"Do you want to move in with me?" I was taken back.
"What?"
"When everything's done and we find the person trying to hurt me and stuff, do you want to move in with me?" She looked at me.
"Are you sure you're ready?" She sat up.
"Yeah. We should live together. Especially since Eissa is so close to you now. After all of this is over, he won't like you not being around all the time."
"And what about you?" I pulled her onto my lap.
"Well, I guess I like having you around too." She wrapped her arms around my neck.
"I know you do." I kissed her chin and cheeks. She sighed.
"I want to leave out of here."'
"Baby, we can't. Someone is after you and you're in danger. That's why security is posted all over this place undercover."
"I know, but it's starting to get boring."
"We can do stuff." I rubbed her butt.
"There's only so much sex we can have."
"I respectfully disagree." She laughed.
"I'm sure you do." She got up and grabbed her phone. I got up behind her and pulled her to the bed as she tried to walk away. "Denzy." She laughed.
"Come on." I snuggled and kissed her neck.
"Mmmm. That does feel good."
"Then let's go for another one...hmmm."
"I'd love to, but we just had the sheets changed. I don't think the housekeeping staff wants to keep coming back here."
"There's more sheets."
"Where?"
"They left extras in the closet." She turned over and looked at me.
"Really?"
"Yeah, and Eissa is asleep. So let me up in there." She laughed.
"Well how could I deny such a lovely request?" I kissed her deeply and she moved on top of me.

Janet
I laid on Denzel's chest as he slept. I had been dozing for a while now, but couldn't seem to fall asleep. I don't know why. It didn't matter because I was comfortable. Denzel always held me and made me feel comfortable in his arms.
I looked up and watched him as he slept. He was much calmer now that he knew I was going to be okay. There were nights I would wake up and he'd jump up to make sure I wasn't hurt. I'm happy that it's over now.
I felt myself getting sleepy and I turned over to lay on my pillow when a hand covered my mouth. "Shhhh. You better not scream." I looked up at the masked person as they held my mouth and arms. A leg held my legs in place and I couldn't move. Everything on them was covered. "You may have survived this long, but you won't much longer. I'm taking you down and I don't care what it takes. Try and stop me and we'll see what happens to that precious baby of yours."
I struggled to get the hand off of my mouth. I recognized the voice but I couldn't place it right now. It was definitely a woman and her hand was heavy on me. "You don't deserve this life and you never did. It'll soon be mine, so enjoy it while it lasts." She removed her and ran off. I heard the hotel door close and immediately shook Denzel.
"Baby, not now."
"Denzy, wake up. We have to get out of here." He jumped up and I got up. I went to where Eissa was sleeping and brought him into the room. By now, Denzel was up.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"Someone was just in here. They held me down and covered my mouth. We have to go." I started packing stuff up.
"Wait, breathe. What happened? What did they say?"
"She said I didn't deserve this life and it would be hers soon. She even threatened to hurt Eissa if I tried to stop her." I started crying.
"Okay, just wait a second and think." I nodded. "We can't leave."
"Why?"
"Because that could be what the person wanted. They probably want you to leave in fear so that she can take you out."
"But, Denzel.."
"No, we can't leave. Just trust me. We'll call Joey and the detectives. We'll let them know what happened and let them handle it. I don't want you endangering yourself."
"You're sure?"
"Yes. Now I know we need to lock the door up better. She probably got in with one of those hotel hacks. I'll put a chair up against the door for the rest of the night and we can all sleep in here." I looked at Eissa as he fell back asleep on my shoulder.
"Okay."
"I got you. I got it." I nodded. He took Eissa and pulled us back towards the bed. Eissa down on the bed and waited for me to get it. When I laid down, he walked out of the room for a minute. I heard him moving stuff around before coming back into the room. He laid down and laid Eissa in his chest and wrapped his arm around me.
I hope he was right.
