Stranger Danger

Day 2

Leaning against a brick wall, I gazed at Nico while he talked animatedly to a person on the phone.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he was frustrated. He kept running his hand through his already tousled hair, but for some reason it made him look hotter.

It was almost cute the way he flailed his arms around and the way he paced back and forth, he resembled a little kid.

It was weird, I mean who would think someone who looked that angry was cute.

I shook my thoughts out of my mind, I didn't even want to think about my kidnapper in that way.

My hair was dying for a hairbrush due to the tangled mess it had become from the number of roller coasters I rode today.

I filled my mouth with more caramel popcorn as I waited for him. When Nico saw me ogling at it, he surprisingly bought it for me, and I took it eagerly with glee.

This was the third time he was agitated with someone over the phone today. I desperately wanted to know who it was, but I couldn't understand all of this Italian.

I waved at a random five-year-old who was staring at my popcorn with jealousy. If I wasn't so hungry I probably would've given him it.

When he comes back he was glaring at the floor and my previous thoughts of his cuteness quickly resurface.

"Can we go to the water park now at least?"I ask Nico and he shakes his head at me.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not going to let this disgusting water even touch me who knows who peed in it or if they even filtered it."Nico tells me and my nose scrunches in frustration.

"What's the worse thing that could happen if you touch the water? I've played in the water countless of times before."I tell him exasperatedly.

Nico turns to me and gives me a disgusted look before heading off towards the exit, towards Hershey's Chocolate World.

The sun was beginning to set and we got our hands stamped so that we could re-enter the park later.

We were walking side by side when my stomach let out a huge growl. The popcorn obviously didn't do justice to my hunger.

I only had McDonald's this morning then a pretzel and big bag of popcorn.

I prayed to the heavens that he didn't hear it, but when I heard his deep chuckles I knew that I was doomed.

"Don't worry mi cucciolo, we'll get some food in you later."He drapes his arms around my shoulder and I froze at the contact. His arm provided warmth for my arm which was shivering from the surprisingly cold air that began to blow.

It was like a friendly gesture, and if it was any person in the whole world I would've been fine, except for the fact that he kidnapped me.

I quickly move forward which makes his arm fall across my back, and just barely touch my butt.

I wanted to scream out in embarrassment and I could actually feel myself becoming more awkward. My cheeks flame like igniting a fire and I quickly walk forward trying to evade him but trying not to actually seem like I'm running.
