His Girl

24 ~ Sedici Ore

Courtney's POV

I listen to Luca yelling on the phone for a while before I fell into a light sleep on the couch.

I was awoken by someone throwing something at me. I open my eyes to see Luca standing at the end of the couch, staring at me. Creepy much?

"Do you want to go to bed? We have to be at work early again." I just nod and walk into the bedroom. I pull out some pyjamas pants from my drawer and slip into them. This isn't hurting my leg too bad. And I wore jeans today as well! It must be healing well. Could I have a shower tomorrow? I think I could.

I walk back to the bed and lay down. How many more days till someone finds me? I feel Luca get into bed and clip the handcuffs around my wrist. How long till I don't have to wear handcuffs to bed?

I fall into a light sleep and woke up a few hours later. God, when are the nightmares going to stop?

I lay wake staring at the roof for a while, thinking. Am I going to be stuck here forever? Will someone find me? Why did they shot Brody? Why do they want me here? I hear Luca shuffling around and then he hits me with a pillow.

"I'm already awake." I moan.

"Oh, sorry!" He unclips the handcuffs and pulls me out of bed.

"And I can also get out of bed by myself." I moan. He let go of my hand and I stumbled into a wall.

"Do you think I can have a shower?" I ask.

"Um. When were you shot?" He replies.

"I don't know." How am I suppose to know? How long have I been here?

"Yeah, it should be fine."

"Alright thanks." I say as I walk into the bathroom. Why did I thank him?

I chuck on a pair of grey, sweatpants and random black sports top. I look at myself in the mirror and nearly died. That's right, I dyed my hair blue! What was I thinking? I chuck it in a messy bun and sighed. Doesn't look that bad. Kinda of.

"Took your time," snaps Luca as soon as I walked out of the bathroom.

"I'm sorry." I said, defensively. "I forget I agreed to have my hair dyed blue!" I shot back.

He shakes his head and grabs his keys from the bench. He turns back around to make sure I was following him and went to the car. I need to look at street signs.

I make my way slowly to the car, taking in the surroundings.

"Will you hurry up and stop planning your escape plan?"

How did he know I was planning to escape? Is he a mind reader? Should I be worried? Is he stalking my mind. Should I be worried about my wellbeing? I didn't notice Luca standing in front of me, till he starts pulling me towards the car.

He chucks me in the passenger seat and slams the door in my face. Did someone wake up on the wrong side of bed? Why is he so annoyed? Have I made him angry for the rest of today? And the week? And the rest of the time I'm staying with him?

He gets in the drivers seat and slams his door. Definitely got up on the wrong side of the bed.

We didn't talk for the rest of the journey. I try taking in my surroundings but Luca keeps turning and stopping and starting. Is he deliberately making me forget my surroundings? After a while I give up and close my eyes.
