Chloe's Escapade

The perfect.. not so perfect date.

Chloe's pov

So we finally got to our destination, after so much tension in the car. I just couldn't get what was actually going on, we just couldn't bring up a conversation or even look at each other in the car, the tension was so thick, you could even cut through it with a knife... it's a good we finally arrived our destination cuz I couldn't stay one more seconds in that car, i might just shit on myself.

The restaurant was quite huge, I didn't expect it, I don't even know what to expect anymore but I was really amazed and happy, it's not every time one get to go to a 5 star restaurant, I just couldn't wait to spill everything to Mabel.

As we got in a waitress approached us, I supposed to ask us about our reservation. When she saw Cody she recognized him immediately and there was this fear in her eyes, or maybe I might just be thinking too much. Why would anyone fear Cody, he looked harmless and sweet or so I thought, who knows?. The waitress led us to our reservation and few seconds later another waitress came with the menu to take out order.

Good evening, am Stacy your waitress for tonight, here's the menu.

She said with her high pitched voice which I found annoying and I think Cody noticed my mood and just ordered for water for the both of us and asked her to leave and get someone else. If looks could kill I would be 6ft underground cuz Stacy was literally throwing daggers at me with her eyes. Durrrrh it's not my fault that she had annoying voice and also not my fault that Cody also noticed it too.

Am sorry about that, Cody tried to apologize. It's fine Cody , really there is no need to stress, I don't see any need for the apology, am cool. He nods in understanding and asked me about myself, he wanted to know more about me.

I thought I told you more of myself online already, you promised to talk about yourself on our 1st date, so don't try to go back on your word mister..... Cody started choking all of a sudden, I had to signal the waiter near by to get water. After every every he got himself, not quite long another waitress came to take our order again, she was less annoying unlike Stacy , so we ordered what we needed and she left to get our orders.

So what exactly will you like to know about me bellisima? Cody asked.
I think you've forgotten my name already mister, am Chloe not whatever it is you just called me. Cody smiled and said there was nothing to stress about that bellisima meant little bird in his language and I seem like a cute little bird to him, so I should just make peace with the name. I just rolled my eyes and said whatever just tell about yourself already.

Ok fine bellisima, Cody smiled. You know my name already, I'm Cody Williams, just turned 28 last year, I'm half Italian and half Greek. My dad is from Italy and my mom is Greek, I have a brother and he is my only sibling, right from childhood it has always been me and him against the world. We had this not so pleasant childhood, dad and mum was always busy working, they had less time for there supposed kids, always traveling and leaving me and my brother by ourselves, at a point we got used to it and cried no more, ever since we have always been there for each other and stuffs. Am really sorry, I didn't mean to bother you with my boring childhood....

No no it's fine Cody, am not bored atoll, am really enjoying this conversation, it's just that i feel pity for you and your brother, I can imagine how many birthdays your parents missed, it's a good thing you guys decided to make peace with the situation and have each other backs, I admire you....

While I was talking, Cody kept giving this weird stare, my palms started getting sweaty already, I wasn't used to guys staring at me like that. I know my cheeks were already all shades of red. Gosh he still won't stop staring.... hello!!! Earth to Cody...
I tried to get him back to the conversation, what I didn't expect what was came out of his pretty mouth "your beautiful " you know that right?. Ehmmm , I tried to answer him but I didn't know what to say, I was speechless, I just had to say the next thing that came to my mind... Thank You!!!

Seriously there's no need to thank me, you're really pretty, I'm sorry I didn't say it earlier, but it's a good thing I have it off my chest now.

Thank God the waitress decided to show up at that moment cuz I didn't really know how to react anymore. I hardly get that kind of compliments, insort I haven't gotten that kind of straight forward compliment before, it's nice hearing someone calling you beautiful, am sure I owe everything to Mabel, she really have a way of performing her magic on someone.

We started eating silently, for once I appreciated the silence. We were almost done with our meal when we noticed the weather, the clouds were changing and it seemed like it was going to rain. Next thing we knew, there was an announcement in the restaurant that a heavy storm is coming and they are advising there customers not to hit the road, instead lodge somewhere, cuz it's not going to be safe driving out there...

Stupid me, I forgot to listen to the weather report today. I looked up to ask Cody what we were going to do cuz I was confused already, I didn't see this coming... but Cody was on call, I don't know who he was calling but he looked stressed, like he was contemplating on something. I decided to leave him with his call and round up my food.

So Chloe am sure you heard the announcement concerning the storm, so we'll have to lodge at the hotel, is a good thing we were at a hotel already. So hurry up let's go before we run out of space. He said everything in one go, and he seemed distant saying it, it was like he changed, I wasn't understanding his tone and everything. Bipolar much *rolls eyes*.

He left me there, I guess to go and book for rooms in the hotel. He didn't care to tell me where he was going. I just sat there by myself trying not to regret today, I was sitting there sulking by myself, I refused eating cuz I lost my appetite already. I was brought out of my thought when someone approached me.

Excuse me Miss, a rugged looking man tried to get my attention, he looked handsome and stuffs but seems creepy. What is a pretty young lady doing here? Sitting all by herself?. Ehmm, I tried to explain to him that I was with someone but he cut me off by taking my hands and giving it a peck, I'm Donald by name, what is your name pretty?.

I'm Chloe, I tried to sound normal even through this guy was already creeping me out, I tried to look around for Cody but he was no where to be found.
A pretty name for a pretty lady , I smiled awkwardly and asked, can I help you Donald?,

He said he saw me sitting all by myself and decided to check up on me, coupled with the stormy weather and stuffs, one would think I was stranded, so he came to check me out to know if I'm okay. I tried to tell him that I'm not stranded but was interrupted when someone coughed beside me, I looked up and saw Cody, I wish I knew i wouldn't have looked atoll, cuz he had this murderous gaze on Donald, I thought he was going to kill Donald with his eyes, Gosh they were so scary, I was no more comfortable.
Next thing I know, I'm been dragged out of my chair, he didn't even give me time to arrange myself, it's a good thing my phone didn't break.

His grip was so tight on me , I was loosing circulation. Cody stop you're hurting me,instead of him to stop, he gripped it harder. We were getting unwanted stares from people which he didn't seem to notice because of his rage. On a second thought, I tried to wonder what was making him mad, it's not like he is my boyfriend or something, omg what is wrong with this guy? What have i gotten myself into?
I tried not to cry but I couldn't help when a tear betrayed me. Cody please stop, you're really hurting me, I cried.

He kept dragging me to an unknown part of the hotel, I wondered how he even knew this place so well, I also wondered why no one was doing anything to stop him from assaulting me.

We finally got to a reception, he asked for a room number and the receptionist quickly gave his a card, I also noticed the same fear I saw in the waitress eyes earlier in the receptionist eyes also, but I still decided to brush it off, it's nothing right?.

Cody started moving again, dragging me along with him, I was scared, I didn't know what to do, I kept praying to God in my mind. We finally got to a door, he inserted his card and it opened, he roughly threw me inside and locked the door.

God please help me out on this one. Please God.
