Kidnapped By Josh Dun

Chapter 37

I change into some skinny jeans and a tee, then put my hair into a ponytail. I'm ready to cook us a feast.

Let's hope I don't burn anything

I decide to do the steak first, since that will take the longest. Josh really is a rich guy. Who just has steak laying around?

The seasoning is easy, and so is cutting the steak. The cooking instructions are more confusing.

Insert the steak into an oiled pan with minced shallots? What the hell is a shallot? Do I look like Gordon Ramsay?

After googling what a shallot is, the steak is ready to be cooked. The instructions say to first pan fry the steak, then put more barbecue sauce on it, and then it goes into the oven for around an hour.

Now for the fries. All I have to do is bake the frozen ones, which I can do while I cook the steak. Of course I know the recipe for fettuccine alfredo by heart, so if everything else fails I know that the pasta will be good.

The steak and fries are in the oven, so it's perfect timing to set the table nicely. I also found candles I can light when I hear Josh opening the garage.

A few hours later, the food is ready, the table is set, and it's time for me to shower, do my hair and makeup, and get changed. A cold shower will be perfect after working in a hot kitchen all day.

Once my shower is over, I quickly blow dry my hair and braid part of it. For makeup, I decide to do a black smoky eye with some dark red lipstick and of course, highlighter.

My makeup is now done, my hair is ready, and I'm dressed and ready for Josh to come home. I look in the mirror and dang I look good. My highlight is so bright it could literally be sponsored by Jesus. Let's hope Josh doesn't get blinded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sitting watching Netflix on my laptop when I hear the garage open. I'm on my feet in an instant, lighting the candles and putting the warmed up food on the table. Just as the last plate hits the table I hear the door open and turn around smiling.

"Wow" Josh breathes as he opens the door and sees the table with the delicious food, and then me.

He walks over and wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me close. "You're so beautiful baby girl. Did you do this?"

"Of course I did. I wanted to surprise you."

"Well I'm definitely surprised. What are we eating princess?"

"I made steak, some fries, and fettuccine alfredo. It was my first time cooking steak so I hope it tastes okay" I say, biting my lip worriedly.

"Mmmm fuck baby don't bite your lip like that" Josh groans.

I giggle and roll my eyes. "Let's eat. I've been working since you left and I really want to try my food."

We sit at the table and I watch as Josh takes a bite.

"Oh my god this is so good. You could be a chef Nicole."

"There's nobody else to cook for. I always wanted to take cooking classes but I never got the chance and I know you wouldn't let me" I say in a bit of a sad tone, setting my plan into motion.

Josh groans. "Nicole baby don't be sad. You know I just want to protect you. I can't lose you."

"Protect me by not letting me live? Come on I just want to get out of this house. Please Josh?" I say with a pouty face, slowly blinking through my eyelashes.

Josh rubs his face, looking at me. "I guess as long as you behave it wouldn't hurt to take you around. I do feel bad about having you locked up here all the time."

"Thank you thank you thank you so much!" I dive out of my chair and jump onto Josh's lap, wrapping my arms around him and kissing all over his face.

"Woahhh calm down baby" he says with a chuckle. "Where would you like to go?"

"Can we please go to Olive Garden?"

"Wow I give you freedom and the first thing you want is food."

"What I like food and I'm having breadstick withdrawal issues I need my Olive Garden."

"Okay I will take you to Olive Garden and then we can go see a movie or something."

I'm so excited to finally get to leave and happily smash my lips against Josh's. I pull away just as he wraps his arms around me, making him groan."

"Babe I wasn't done yet."

"Oh I know but your food that I worked so hard to prepare is getting cold."

"Oh sorry Ms. Ramsay. I'll finish it right now" Josh jokes, making me smile.

"And there's dessert too."

"Oh really?" Josh responds with a smirk on his face.

"Eww not that kind of dessert. I made strawberry brownies."

"Oooo give them to me."

"Eat your dinner first mister."

"Well okay then mom."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We finish dinner and put the plates in the sink, then take the delicious brownies over to the couch to watch a movie. I talk Josh into watching a cop show instead of a horror movie, and we spend the rest of the night eating our brownies and watching Law And Order.

I snuggle into Josh's chest and smile.

One step closer to freedom. I can't be locked up like this all the time, forbidden from seeing my friends and not being able to go anywhere without an escort. Getting locked in a basement when Josh and I fight like every normal couple does. He needs help.
