I drop my gun on the floor, and look up at her. I set my hands on her thighs, and say "Are you going to tell me your name yet princess?" She scoffs, "Why do you want to know so bad?" She asks, teasing me. "So I know what your name is." She rolls her eyes, "Fine, Dakota, my name is Dakota! Are you happy?" She says sarcastically. I move my face closer to her, my lips only inches from hers now. "Mmh very."
Her eyes take a glance to my lips and back up to my eyes, now that I'm this close to her I realize I never noticed she had freckles all over her nose bridge that spread to her cheeks. It feels like we have been like this for hours, that I've been staring into her green eyes for eternity, keeping intense eye contact, but in reality it had only been a few seconds. I hear a crash outside the door and quickly clear my throat and stand up. Once I had stood up she breathed out, almost relieved that I had broken the tension cause she sure as hell wasn't going to.
She started trying to get out of the chair Jackson and I tied her down to, despite her efforts, she was getting nowhere. "Untie me!" She demands, and I laugh, "You really think I'm going to let you go?" I ask, and she just looks at me with those pleading eyes. "Please." She whines. Fuck. It was the way she had said it. I open my mouth to say something but then I hear the smoke detector start to go off in the kitchen down the hall, "OH SHIT!" I hear Jackson yell. "You stay here." I tell her, "Not like I can go anywhere," she signals to her tied up arms and legs. I roll my eyes and run out to the kitchen.
Once I make it out there I find Jacksons stupid ass trying to stop the fire that he had started on the stove. "JACKSON WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?" I scream at him, "I WAS HUNGRY OKAY!" He yells back, a few strides across the room and I'm under the sink looking for the fire extinguisher. I find it and quickly jump back up and spray the fire, and the fire slowly starts to die down. I looked into the pot that was on the stove, "Um, Jack what were you trying to make?" "I was trying to make Mac n Cheese but um.. forgot to add the water into the pot with the noodles.." I start laughing for a minute before he says, "Okay you can stop laughing now, did the girl tell you anything?" Once he had said that, he actually reminded me the entire reason I was in that room, it was to get answers about the girl. Obviously I didn't get answers, we didn't even talk about the girl. "Um no," I say, "She didn't really want to talk to me, maybe you should go in there and talk to her." "If you say so man, but I don't know how it's going to go." He tells me then turns around and walks down the hall she is in.
I let out a sigh and sat down at the kitchen table, a few moments went by of me just sitting at the table until I heard Jackson say, "Um, Dom I think you need to come in here..." "Aww yeah Dom why don't you come in here with us." I hear Dakota say after him, What the fuck?" I get up from the table and slowly make my way down the hall and into the room they are in. I open the door to find Jackson sitting in the chair Dakota was once sitting in and Dakota with my gun in her hands pointing it at him. Shit, when I heard the smoke detector go off I must have left my gun in here on the floor next to her, but that wouldn't explain how she got out of the restraints. "Dom, I'm so glad you could join us!" I hear her say, "Dakota, put the gun down." I tell her, "Yeah, I think not, now go stand next to your little friend over here." I went to reach for my knife I had strapped to my waist but I couldn't find it, then finally next to the chair I noticed it on the floor. Damn it, she must have grabbed it from me.
Even with the knife there wasn't much I could do, she had the gun pointing at me now, I could have tried to make a run for it for the closet down the hall and grab a gun. But if I were to turn around she probably would shoot me. So I oblige and walk over to stand next to Jackson. "Sorry bro, when I walked in here she was gone and when I turned around she had the gun pointed to my head," He says, "I tried to grab it but she hit me with it." "It's okay, not much you could've done." I say trying to reassure him. "Now you two are going to stay in here while I go get something to eat okay? I haven't eaten anything since 9 this morning," She says, "If you two move, even just a hair I will not hesitate to shoot you both, understand?" We both look at her and say "Yes Ma'am." Right before she turns around I notice her cheeks go pink, she then walks out and locks the door.
