Taken

Chapter 16

We got to a hotel this time, it wasn't as nice as the other ones but it was the best Ryan could do on short notice. I didn't really care, it was bigger than where I used to live.

"Sleep," he says but I couldn't. I was paranoid and scared. I lay my head against his chest and feel as his chest rises and falls.

"I'll protect you," he says combing my hair.

"Always?" I say closing my eyes tight.

"Always," he says. I force myself to sleep and slowly manage to do so.

I wake up from my bed and noticed that Ryan was no longer in the room. I heard the shower run and feel a smile form on my face. I change clothes and head to the kitchen. I wanted to cook a special breakfast for Ryan. I take out the pancake mix, and start making pancakes. While I made the pancakes, I also started making scrambled eggs. 

"Mmmmmm, something smells good," Ryan says making his way to me.

"It was supposed to be a surprise," I say. He hugs me from behind and starts kissing my neck. I let out a small moan making Ryan continue and pulling down the straps from my shirt.

"Your going to make me burn our food," I struggle to say.

"Who cares," he says and his hands fall down to my stomach and slowly pushes my shirt up to expose my belly button.

"Ryan," I say as I hear something sizzling and smell something burning.

"Leave it," He demands which shakes my whole body. I turn around to face him and he kisses me.

"Not now," I said even though I wanted to so bad. He complains and sits down on the table.

"You kill me woman," He says while eyeing me. I smile at him and return back to the food that was now burning. The pancake was crispy and hard as a rock.

"You're eating this one," I say as I show him the burnt pancake.

"You were the one cooking," he says.

"You distracted me," I say.

"I never told you to stop cooking, you stopped on your own," he says. I roll my eyes at him and he chuckles.

We ate and headed out to explore Greece. We didn't plan on going on historical sights like we did in China and Spain, we just walked around and headed to any place.

There was cute coffee shops and candy shops. Greece was really beautiful too. I spot an ice cream shop and this time I am the one dragging Ryan towards it.

"I want to taste it," I tell Ryan. I wanted to compare it to the ice cream from Spain. I ask for the same flavored ice cream as the one in Spain but it didn't taste the same as the one from Spain. The one from Spain was delicious.

"Told ya'" Ryan says as he tastes his own ice cream.

"Let's go," he says and leads me back outside. We continued walking letting the cool breeze hit us as the sun beat heavily on us. I didn't know where I was at or where we were going. I didn't bother to ask. I watched as he talked. His lips perfectly forming the words that I wasn't paying attention to. We suddenly stop and confusingly I look at him. Had he mentioned why we were stopping?

"Stay here," he says running back. He disappears inside a store and I walk near booths of magazines. I pick one about houses and start flipping through it.

"Ms. Donovan?" I turn around and see a smiling Mr. Perks. "What pleasure seeing you again," he says smiling and extending his arm out to me for me to shake. I stare their in shock, I was soon losing color and turning white as ice. I straighten my back trying to hide my fear.
