Random Lil Book

If only I'd known

I'm going to start going online and find random prompts and just write on that because I have a forever case of writer's block. Anyway let's get started.

________________________________________________________________________________

If I'd known then what I know now, I never would have followed him. I was blinded by our so called love. His sweet words flooded my senses and his cool touch sweeped my of my feet. I was trapped. I was mindlessly following a snake to its den as it slowly devoured me leaving an old husk of what I used to be. Now I'm here tied up unknowing of where I am and what is going to happen to me next.

I was so stupid. Falling for his declares of love.

I still remember it like it was yesterday. It was a normal day that day. I woke up, brushed my teeth, showered, made breakfast as usual. I got in my car and headed for work. I said 'Hi' to my fellow coworkers and went to put on my uniform. I worked at a pretty popular restaurant in the so I would see a lot of people in my usual eight hour shift. My boss was pretty nice. she wasn't strict and paid well. I went on with my usual shift serving food, picking up food, setting tables up you know the usual. That was when a mysterious handsome man walked into the restaurant. He seemed to have already made a reservation so I ushered him to his table.

I set up his menu and walked away to receive his drink , an Ono Champagne Cocktail, it's a high priced drink but not the most expensive her. Walking away I couldn't help myself for sneaking a peak of him a few times.

I returned with his drinks and its corresponding accessories. I set them down in front of him then turned to him to ask for his order.

" Sir have you chosen your appetizer yet" I say with ease going over my practiced lines at this job.

The man looks over me with a glint in his eye in which I can't describe. After what felt like forever with his gaze he began to speak.

"Yes in fact I have I would like to have the Crab and Lobster Stuffed Mushrooms please. "

This format repeated until it was time for his dessert. I asked for his choice and his response was out of the ordinary for me. His response was

" For dessert I would hopefully have you on my platter but your number might be sufficient for now." He ended his statement with a wink in my direction.

I am caught off guard but I keep my composure and try not to reply with a shaky breath.

"I'm sorry sir I can't provide you with my personal information"

"Are you sure miss I would love to know your name"

"Yes sir do you have any preferences from the menu" Man he really is persistent. As much as I would love to give him my number it would not make me look professional.

"Surprise Me " He states in a monotone voice. It is then I realize how sweet his voice is. LIke honey dripping down a fresh piece of toast.

I received a random plate of some kind of expensive food item and brought it to his table.

"You have nice taste I wonder what you taste like"

That was when I walked away flustered. When I walked back a few minutes later he was finished with is meal. I picked up the leftover plates and brought it to the kitchen and went back to collect.

When I went to collect the money the man handed me his credit card with a envelope. Expecting the envelope to be tip I took the money off his card for his meal and returned the card.

"You know when someone gives you their number they expect you to give them your number back right." I was confused where the handing over of his number took place when he told me to look in the envelope.

I look in the white envelope with gold rims and see money with a slip of money wedged in the middle and pulled it out.

On the slip of paper there was a phone number.

"Now do you want to return the favor."

Long story short I gave him my number and we started texting. I learned that his name was Christian. I started seeing him around more often. I wondered if he was already there or I was just unaware. I would see him randomly and the nearby coffee shop ,library , and even sometimes around my house.

At the time I didn't catch on to his creepy stalking habits. I thought It was purely coincidence. I know I know I was I know that now.

Well on day on one of those coincidences he told me that he wanted to go to his house because he had a item he wanted to show me. I don't even remember what it was. Well I got into his car and he drove to his presumably house. He took me down a large staircase with his hand firmly placed on my waist. I followed him through the dark basement expecting there to be a light switch up ahead.
Next thing I knew I was shoved on a bed tied up and blindfolded.

So here I am now still here in this position. My only interaction is when Christian comes and declares justification to his decision to keep my hostage.

"You will be treated the best here"
"Only I can love you"
"People can't appreciate you the way I do"

I've lost count of the excuses he would make.
I just accepted my life.
I didn't resist
I just waited

And waited

And waited for my death
A release from the the misery caused by my ignorance.
