Still pissed off Cleo tries to compose herself outside the door peaking her head in at first before going all the way in which obviously spooked the man.
"Hello? What's happening?" He asked voice trembling a little bit the women pauses at the sound of his voice something about it feeling so familiar. Almost comforting in a way ignoring this the woman closes the door and walks towards the bed
"How are you feeling?" She asks instead of answering him she sees his head tilt in confusion and whisper a name. her name. Under his breath making her pause for the second time since coming here choosing to ignore she rewords her question "Are you feeling ok?"
"Where am I?" He asks in a scared tone "I can't tell you that"
"Can you at least take the blindfold off it's really tight"The man asked as Cleo let out a sigh and pulled her mask up to her nose and taking off his blind "are the cuffs hurting you" Cleo asked the still unknown man
"No but my arms are kinda sore" he said making the girl sigh as she pulls the cuff keys out her pocket "sit up" she said un-cuffing one hand repositioning both to the front quickly cuffing the other hand back not wanting to take any chances
"Thank you" he said only to be ignored as she slips the keys back in her pocket "Better?"
"Yeah, thank you again" he said eyes roaming over what little of her face he could see "your welcome" she said after a moment
"What's going on?" The man asked in pleading tone while trying to catch her eyes
"Where keeping you here until your father gives us some money"
"Do you know who my father is?"
"No and we don't wanna know at least I don't so don't tell me" Cleo told running hands through her hair moving "are you hungry I could bring you something to eat if you'd like?"
"Are you gonna hurt me?" He asked her in a voice so innocent
The question surprised her "No" she said sitting in the end of the bed "As long you behave and if your dad gives us money, then you'll be fine. But in the meantime I'm here to keep you safe and comfortable"
At the woman's genuine concern the man bit back a smile. "I can even promise you that I won't let them hurt you" Cleo said lifting her pinky "I even pinkie-promise that I won't let anyone hurt you"she said wiggling her pinkie around in front of him
That made the man chuckle despite the situation he was in as he interlocked his own pinkie with hers "what's your name?"
Cleo looked away for a moment biting her lip as contemplated her next words not he could tell "Cleo" she said finally "call me Cleo"
"Gabriel" he said before clarifying "my names Gabriel"
"It's nice to meet you Gabriel" she said a soft smile playing on her lips
grabbing her hand bringing it up to his lips "It's lovely to meet you Cleo" he said placing a kiss on her knuckles. Cleo thought shocked by the gesture giggled softly. The sound was like music to him.
Placing her hand back down on the bed softly Gabriel sighed "Though I must apologize, my father he thought that he wanted a child and then he just lost interest. You've made a mistake.he doesn't care about me."
"Well I guess I'll have to be the judge of that won't I?" Cleo asks patting her thighs "Are you sure you're not hungry like I said I could make you something to eat"
"No I'm fine thank you" Gabriel said shaking his head
"Alright. Well I'm gonna go but I'll be soon ok" she said nodding at his words
"Really soon ok?"
"Ok"
"Cleo" he called out his face suddenly going blank
"yea?" She answered turning around
"I'm sorry about what's gonna happen to you. You shouldn't be here" he said after a moment's hesitation
"Um ok I'll be back soon" she said trying to hide her unease at his words rushing out the door
"Fuck" Gabriel swore once she was far enough away "Fucking Lambert. She wasn't supposed to be here"
