Super Bad Luck

Chapter 5 - Comfort Food

Alex's POV
I woke up on a couch with a thick jumper and a small blanket on me, this might have been the most comfortable kidnapping yet. Excluding the pounding in my head, of course and the chaffing of the hand cuffs against my wrists.

I tried to pull the blanket up higher but it was hard with my wrists bound. I still didn't make a move to open my eyes, I couldn't care less where I was, I needed my sleep.

As I tried falling back to sleep, I was shook on the shoulder by some person who I sleepily told to p*ss off. They didn't get the memo as they shook me again and again. Ignoring all the curses I threw at them. At one point they were sniggering until someone told them to quit bugging me.

I opened my eyes when I smelt the food that was placed under my nose as it was now lunch time. I went to grab some of the bacon on the plate but it was pulled away from me while the boy muttered something about manners under his breath.

I sat up after my fourth attempt, looking absolutely amazing while doing it. (sarcasm) I looked for the food that I smelt earlier and ignored the other people in the room who were gaping at my complete and utter disregard for them.

I once again leaned over towards the food and the food was pulled back again. So I scowled are the girl who stopped me from eating.

"What's your name?" The boy asked and I stared at him dully, not speaking unless I had food. As if he could read my mind he spoke "if you don't answer our questions, we won't give you any food." I let out a big sigh and said my name was Adam but they still refused to give me food.

"That was a practice question Alexander, you failed." By the mans serious tone, I thought he was going to shoot me but he just sat there crossing his arms. "How did you know my name?" I tried to ask subtly but it freaked me out that they knew something about me.

The girl was the one to answer "digging in your phone, it took a LOT of effort." I felt pretty smug when she said that, I had to save so much money to buy another phone but I knew it would be useful.

"Now why were you watching us in the alley way?" The boy in the middle said. "What are your names?" I chose to ignore him. "You answer our question and we'll tell you." I saw the girl shoot the boy a questioning look but he didn't look at her back.

"I was just seeing what you were doing, you seemed like you were up to something." I told them ambiguously while also telling the truth.
They boy said their names were Delilah, Daniel and Aidan. The guy, Aidan, went to say something but before he could I was reaching out to the food again as my stomach grumbled. The boy, Daniel slapped my hand from the plate and said that I was like a 'damn dog' but in my defence, I was just hungry.

"Alex. Answer our questions and THEN you can have your damn food." I let out a pout at the thought of it getting cold and he ran his hand over his face. The girl, Delilah pushes the food towards me with a sigh, giving me a look that said 'don't make me regret this' as I happily munched away.

"What were you doing out last night?" Daniel said and I shrugged as I still had food in my mouth. He went to grab the plate back while I brought it closer to me before swallowing and saying "I was just bored!" After a pause I elaborated "I was trying to smoke and dancing to music" I refused to say I was trying to be a villain as the thought was laughable. The only way to keep the food is by telling half truths. I still felt myself blush and felt stupid saying it out loud.

It didn't help when Delilah and Daniel looked at each other and burst out laughing. I tried to give my best glare but it wasn't very effective as they carried on laughing, maybe even louder than before. My face was as red as a spanked bottom.

When they had finally stopped laughing, I had finished the food and the other guy had left the room. They were both wiping tears away from their eyes while I looked around the room, trying to ignore their humorous gazes.

This living room looked quite old yet homey in a dark and sheltered way. There was a fireplace behind the two annoying people and a bookcase behind the sofa, against a polished oak stairway.

I was fed up now and ready to go home. I started to stand up and they both looked at me with doubtful looks. I walked around the couch, towards the door before Daniel said something that made me stop. "Don't you want them cuffs off first?" I gave him a weary look before putting out my wrists as he came over with a smug smile. When he got closer, he bent down so he was closer to my ear, that I could feel his breath on it. He managed to ruin the moment as he told me in a patronising tone, "I don't have them" before walking away. I dropped my wrists back in front of my hips before turning to Delilah and giving her the puppy dog eyes that I only used in dire situations.

She shook her head to tell me she didn't have the keys and I was left confused. "Where's the other guy, erm.... Adam? Aaron?" She let out a chuckle and told me "Aidan doesn't have them either." I had had enough of their games and looked around for something to smash the metal with. "You have to convince Daniel to give the keys to you. He lied when he said he didn't have them." Of could he did. I let out a small sigh and went to look for him.
