Everything was a blur. One second, I was enjoying the best pizza of my life and the next, we are running for our life. I can hear the tires screeching against the pavement as Chase took a sharp turn. His eyes became dark and scary, unlike the ones that I've seen earlier.

I have many questions in my head, but right now is not the time to ask like a three year old. It would probably best that I keep my mouth shut. That's when I realized we've been driving for almost three hours and sleep knocked me out.

I woke up feeling refreshed than ever. Just when I thought I would wake up on my own room, I woke up in a foreign bed with... Chase, sleeping like a baby on the couch next to me. Of all holy and macaroni! I woke up to Chase which is enough surprise, but a Chase half naked with a gun on his hand ready to shoot me anytime. Oh Lord Jesus Christ. The worst case scenario is knowing that he kidnapped me and kill me with that gun. Oh god I have college to plan to! I haven't even dated any decent person.

The rational thing to do is walk slowly to the door. And that's what I did. But just as turn the knob right, a disgruntled (sexy, no. extremely sexy) Chase pulled my waist towards him and held me like a child would hold a pillow at night. Nice and warm.

"Chase. Chase. Let go of me." I tried to sound so stern but failed miserably. He let go of my waist and put me down gently. "What's happening Chase? Why are they chasing us?" I have to ask now or he'd kill me later. Atleast I know whom to haunt, right?

"No one. Get up we're going back." His face became cold and dangerous. Something irrational in me felt like it was right to touch him and so I did. I placed my palm on his back and leaned it. somehow it felt right. "Chase, please tell me what's happening." I almost whispered.

"And what? Write this on the school paper? So everyone would know? No thanks." I was expecting him to move but he didn't.

"Chase, it's not about that school paper anymore. We were chased by armed men. Would you expect me to tatter that one out? I'll keep my mouth shut if you want me to." I don't know where these things are coming from. But saying them made me feel safe and comfortable. This is getting ridiculous!

Chase Humphry

Her hand on me felt more than warm. It felt like sunshine on my cloudy and dark life. Somehow, her simple gesture made my heart beat faster than a Mustang and I'd die happily having her touch me like that. It's really unusual for me to be like this. In any occasion, I could have left her there and save my sorry ass. But I had this feeling of protection towards her. Don't ask me why because I don't know too. Her voice felt broken and vulnerable. Her voice felt broken and vulnerable. Yes I dragged her into this. Might as well tell her what's happening.

"My family is the most twisted one you could ever meet. My stepfather is a mafia boss, my mother is a hacker, my stepsister runs a drug den and I am the heir to all of that." I didn't move a single inch from where we were. And I am glad she didn't too. I can't afford to see the look of disgust on her face. Since when did I care?

"Do you want all of that?" her breathing is warm and heavy which reminds me of a summer afternoon.

"Why else would you think we're being chased?" I tried to humor the already heavy situation we are in.

"Don't worry Chase, I don't hate you. In fact, I'd stay." As if on cue, all the blood in my body rushed to my face. At that moment, I know I have to do it. And so I kissed her.
