30 Reasons Why I Love You

Chapter 20: Reason #11

Reason #11: I love knowing that your optimism has rubbed on me 

Okay. I'm tied to the bed, hands and legs.

My eyes scanned the shackles above my bed and on my legs in a brief glance. So, I've established that there's no way to break the contraptions keeping me down. It's a downer but I've got to come up with something else.

The locks! Let's see. 

Slowly, I raised my right arm to check the lock on the chain holding me. After years of becoming a trouble child, I know an easy lock when I see one. Judging it, the only difference it had on a regular cop's hadcuffs was that it was bigger, almost like an arm band in length and width. 

If I could get a pin or something, I could bust open this bad boy. Yeah, okay. Then, what next after I free myself? 

My raised hand immediately relaxed, returning to its original position, fingers stretching as if preparing for battle.

Knowing Kaoru, he'd notice if I'd removed my chains. That sick bastard has some kind of intuition to shit like this. I need a distraction. Come on, think.

Ideas flew in my mind, different scenarios coming up. If this was a movie, Rei would arrive at the most dramatic part. The part where I would killed then all of a sudden he'd swoop in and save me. Yeah. I can dream, you know. 

Stupid brain. Work! 

Shit, I can't rely on Rei and Haru. Especially right now. Relying on myself would be a more realistic and practical approach to what's happening right now. I might even come up with something that won't get me killed on the spot. That's why I need to stop distracting myself and just get on with it. Thinking up fear-induced scenarios will help no one. 

Biting my lip, I let my eyes study the room. So far, there's one door and it's by the foot of the bed. And unlike last time, Kaoru doesn't bolt the door. Why? I don't really know. He must be confident that I'd never escape. Bastard.

Back to the point, Jin.

All right. Basically, if I'm successful in freeing myself, I could run through the door. No biggie. Now, what else is there? Ah, right. There's also a window by my bed, big enough for me to crawl out off. I know what you're thinking. You think I should plan on just breaking the window and running out there, right? Wrong. Kaoru, being the psychotic man that he is, was smart enough to think ahead and prepare precautionaries. Simply put, the window has bars attached, so even if I break the window, escape would be futile because the space between the bars can't even fit my head.

Okay, okay. Next.

My eyes attached themselves to the only furniture in the room aside from the bed: a wooden chair. The chair seemed old and rickety, meaning: I could break it without making so much noise. Lesson one: the element of surprise is your best friend and a hard object enought to crack someone's head open is your lover.

This is good. This is getting somewhere. Good job. 

I feel myself smile involuntary, the cheekiness rubbing my attitude. If things go well, and I pray they do, I'd be able to free myself and kill Kaoru in the blink of an eye. I only have one person to thank for this: my sweet Rei. God, I love you so damn much. Thank you!

Don't get too excited. We have to succeed before you start dancing over someone's grave.

Yeah. That's right. I let my smile linger on my lips a little longer before coming down from my high place. I needed to get things done while Kaoru hasn't returned. So far, he hasn't come to bug me in the las few hours, the sky already lighting up a tinge. Morning was coming and I needed to move fast.

My fingers started tapping the post of the bed, finding anything close to a hairpin that I could get. I touched the chains, slowly feeling for any stranded clips or anything. My teeth clenched when I felt nothing, my eyes straining to stay clear. It was a struggle, the hope I had in my chest moments ago had dwindled when I spent a good five minutes touching the posts of the bed.

Please. Don't do this to me, God. I have a family I need to go back to. Please.

I felt tears welling up as I tried to stay calm and keep searching for anything. Praying, whispering silent wishes to the heavens as I fumbled with the sheet above my head, carefully sifting through the creases to make sure I had missed nothing.

Come on, come on. 

How could I have been so cocky and fail at the same time? Please. I'm begging whoever's listening. My fingers trembled as I started to fell panic rush through my body. No, no, no,no. Stop. Stop shaking. Concentrate, damn it. Concentrate.

Teeth clenched tightly, I used my nails to scratch the surface of the posts, hoping it was corroding enough for me to get a decent chance of freedom. My breaths came in shallow pants, chest heaving up and down as I willed my body to cooperate with me.

Click!

"Baby, what are you doing? Bored already?" I stilled, my body tensing at the sound of the devil. I looked down to see Kaoru standing by my feet, a smile plastered on his lips. "If you're wondering where I went, I'll tell you if you do me a favor." He walked closer to me, his face sliding up to my own, smile still in place.

"Do I have a choice?" I hissed bitterly, my eyes squinting in anger when I noticed his smile turning to a full-blown grin. It was creepy, scary and it just spelled trouble to me. 

"Well, you really don't have any. Sorry 'bout that. Well, the favor I had swimming in my head got me this little hard on right here. If possible, could you take care of this guy here and then I'll spill the beans." My eyes widened, I was sure disgust was written on my face. The only 'little guy' I'd be willing to service is Rei's and no one else.

He raised his face from mine, his hands started unbuttoning his pants when my eyes saw something. It was a swiss knife hanging from his belt buckle. If I could distract him enough, I could grab that thing and escape.

When he was about to drop his pants, my hand nearest to him automatically stopped his own. His face dancing with curiosity. I needed to sell this and sell this right if I was going to get away with this.

I closed my eyes, cringing at the thought of what I had to sacrifice just to get the object that could spell my freedom. I need to suck it up and just do this. Releasing a breath, I opened my eyes and put on the best seductive smile I could come up with. It wasn't much, I knew that, but it was enough to have Kaoru looking at me stupidly.

"I give up. I'll take care of little Kaoru over here" My head tilting to his bulging crotch. "-if you take one cuff off." He raised a brow in question, his face smug. "Look, you know I give great head. How can I make you cum if I'm not at my best. And anyway, it's just one cuff. Once you've cum, lock me up again." I let my eyes roam his body lazily, making him realize how eager I was even when I wanted to throw up.

"Come on. You know you want my lips licking you." His eyes fixed on my lips, hunger and desire swirling in them. My lip sticking out to lick my bottom lip provocatively, saliva coating it. "Sucking you." This time, I had my lips form an 'O' shape, my tongue swirling as if there was something occupying my mouth. 

His face hardened with desire, teeth gritted against each other, his bulging erection more prominent. I smirked inwardly, this fucker is too easy.

"Fine." I smiled at his hoarse voice, I knew I was getting to him. He wanted me so much he was trembling.

"One more thing." He gave me a questioning look, his eyes still dancing with lust. I smiled, inwardly gagging as I raised my head.

"Keep the pants on. It's hotter that way."
