Helen POV
It was almost six and I had gotten ready to host Mike, I wondered why he wanted to hang out this evening, maybe he just wanted to keep my company. I had prepared dinner and dressed nicely so I don't look homeless in my own house. I was busy styling my hair when I heard the doorbell ring, it was Mike!

I rushed down to open the door and he was at my doorstep again looking good as always. Heyyyy he said dragging the y and smiling so wide that I had to
smile too. Hi Mike, it's been a while. 'I missed you Helen he said engulfing me in a hug which caught me by surprise. I couldn't resist although it felt uncomfortable it was also kinda comforting.

Come in Mike I said and released myself from his hold. 'Wow something smells delicious he said I'm he entered the house and by the way your apartment looks very nice'. Thanks Mike I blushed while we both proceeded to the living room. 'What drink would you like Mike? I have brandy, fruit juice, wine, yoghurt, just name it. 'I'll take Yoghurt' he said. I brought out yoghurt from the fridge and served us both. ' I'm so sorry about your mom, how are you holding up now?' I'm better now thank you I answered him truthfully. We chatted for almost an hour and then decided to eat dinner. Dinner went well and we spoke about my trip and how he has been the last few months.

After dinner we decided to watch Netflix and after much arguments and protest we both agreed to watch Riverdale.

We were so engrossed with the movie that we didn't realize the passing of time. It was almost 11pm and we were already so tired. I have to go now Helen, Mike said, Wow it's really late, you should get going. Thanks for coming Mike I said as I walked him to the door. He stopped at the entrance, turned around, facing me and said thanks for having me Helen, I really had a lovely time with you. 'You're welcome Mike'. He moved closer to me and I couldn't move my feet, I was stuck. He moved his face closer and kissed me. Sparks began to fly in my head and chills we're running down my spine, I didn't move.
I instead just closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment. It lasted for over a minute and then Mike pulled away! Damn! Why did he have to be such a good kisser I thought to myself. I looked up at him and he was smiling, I'll see you later Helen. Bye. Bye Mike I said and closed the door.

My lips tingled and reminded me of the beautiful moment I just shared with Mike. The feeling of his mint like breath kept re occurring in my head and I kept grinning like an idiot till I fell asleep.

I woke up to 2 missed calls from Mike and Nancy and a text from Mike. I called Nancy first and fed her with the sweet gist of everything that happened last night. Give relationship a chance, she told me.

'Something sweet might come out of you and Mike's bonding you know'. I ended the call with Nancy and called Mike back. Good morning sunshine, he said from the other end, morning Mikey I answered smiling. Hope you slept well I asked? 'Yes I did, infact I dreamt about you' we spoke for about 5 minutes and none of us brought up the kiss which I was thankful for because I'd have been so embarrassed if he tried to bring it up. I ended the call with Mike and started preparing for work, i had a lot to settle at work today.

**************************************

I had a long day at work today and I was so tired, I couldn't wait to get into the shower and eat something good. I drove into the car park and hurriedly alighted from the car. I was almost at the entrance of my apartment when I felt a hand over my mouth. I tried to struggle but I started losing strength and I'm no time I fell unconscious.

I woke up in a different room, my head was banging and I couldn't move my hands and feet as they were already cuffed to the bed. My clothes were gone and I was left in just my underwear. I looked around the room and I couldn't recognize where I was.

Realization dawned on me that I've been kidnapped. I was so scared that I started calling every name that I could. I called God, I called Mike, I called Nancy, I even called Mom but nothing was working. The door slowly opened and I saw 3 strange men walk in, they kept staring at me without saying a word and soon after my biggest nightmare walked in. It was Uncle Tunde.
