The rest of the drive home was silent. On the other hand, my thoughts were not. I stared out the window the entire time. I could hear the faint tap of his fingers on the wheel. We began to turn taking us off of the regular road onto a dirt path we headed to the end off. Where were we? Luke had been driving for a good half an hour since we started back at the bar. we definitely weren't in the city anymore. This was the countryside.
We ended up pulling into the drive way of a house that looked almost like a cabin instead. There were trees all over the place and I didn't see a single other house around whatsoever,great. My whole running to safety was out of the picture. I was basically in the middle of nowhere.
He grabbed his keys and got out of the car walking around the back to open the trunk and pulled out a black gym bag then closed the back and came walking around the side. I could see him nearing my door in the rear view mirror. He opened my door and extended his hand.
I said nothing as I got out from the car ignoring his hand. I gestured for him to head to the house and followed behind. When we got to the door he put the bag down for a second to pull out his house keys. I heard a click and the door opened.
"Ladies first." He grinned.
I rolled my eyes as I stepped inside.
There was a closet to my right and a bench against the wall to my left. The floor was hardwood and there was a welcoming mat beneath my shoes. There was an arch to the ceiling and it was all logs. There was a railing where the stairs to downstairs were a few feet away from the entrance. Past that I could see the living room, there was a big fireplace and brown suede sofas. There was a glass coffe table centred in the middle of the couches that was siting on a cream coloured rug. A big screen tv was hanging on the wall just above the fireplace and there was a big and there was a bookshelf that took up the wall top to bottom on both sides of the fireplace. On the fireplace mantle there were pictures of people I didn't know and there was a few knick knacks. To the left of the fireplace there was a long hall with multiple doors. the kitchen was beside the living room and up until then everything had a very cottagey feel. The kitchen on the other hand was very updated and modern. It had marble counters and an island right in the metal with bar stools placed around them. There were big oak cabinets and stainless steel appliances.
I took my shoes off and headed over to the coach. I wrapped myself in the blanket that was there and put my legs up resting my head on the fluffly pillow. " I'll be sleeping here tonight. See you in the morning." I stated.
"Wow.Looks like I don't have to tell you to make yourself at home." He laughed.
I said nothing but "goodnight" wich might of been a mistake.
He began to near the coach lifting up my legs then sitting down allowing them to rest on his lap. I wasn't sure what would happen next. He was right beside me "Look. This would be a lot better if you could stop being so bitter. I think your beautiful and I would actually like to talk to you tonight. I'm a nice guy if you give me a chance." He explained.
I sprung up to my feet almost falling off the coach "NICE GUYS DONT TAKE PEOPLE AGAINST THERE WILL! OR THREATEN TO STAB PEOPLE!" I yelled as I began to pace around the room. "NICE GUYS DONT TAKE GIRLS THEY BARELY KNOW HOME TO FORCE IN BED EITHER!" I had lost it.
He walked over and tried to stop me from yelling. His arms wrapped around from behind me as he pulled me in close trying to get me to stop pacing. I began to squirm around in his arms trying to get out once again. "Stop" he said trying to keep me from moving. "Grayson stop." He begged.
"No! Let me go!" I began to bang my fists against his chest in anger.
He just stood there taking every single one of the blows. After awhile the hits began to weaken and I just gave up resting my forehead on his chest. Luke sighed and stepped back to look me over. Tears were forming and my eyes and he read my expressions. He closed the space between us and wrapped his arms around my back pulling me in close,embracing me in a warm and protective hug. I could feel my emotions take over as I began to sob,soaking Luke's shirt. I was terrified & felt hopeless. I had no clue what was going to happen to me or what was going on in Luke's head. For all I knew he could have been holding a knife to my back right now. To my surprise though I could feel him rubbing my back as he "shhhhhed" me. He was rocking us back and forth to the sound of my muffled cries. I couldn't believe this at all. He was comforting me.
