My Brothers Rival

CHAPTER 13} Would you like to join me for a walk ??

I have been here for three days now. Random masked men come in now and then to ask if there was anything I needed. There was two I received tho that would ask me questions about things I liked . One of them letting it slip that their bosses interest was extremely piqued by me. Then the other guy didn't let much slit but made jokes, he was funny.

If it's not one of those two then they don't come any further than sticking their head in the door or even asking through the door. So you could imagine that when I heard the door open I would automatically think it was one of the. Therefore I didn't feel as if I should have to be interrupted from my reading so I just kept my nose in the book I was reading, sitting Indian style on the bed against the headboard.

Napper.: "Do you know how beautiful you look when you're just reading ??" He says startling me as my head snaps up from the book to look at him.

Me.: "That was not very nice, My Napper." I say to him with as dead serious a look as possible causing him to chuckle.

My Napper.: "Is that what you have named me .... My Napper ??" He asked.

Me.: "Well yeah." I said as a matter of factly, shrugging my shoulders.

My Napper.: "I like it. I came to ask your question." He says.

Me.: "What's the question ??" I say as my curiosity is now peaked.

My Napper.: "Would you like to join me for a walk ??" He asks offering his hand out to me, so I take it and he helps me off the bed.

Me.: "Well it's about time that you've offered to let me out of this room. You think I'm going to be dumb enough to say no ??" I ask putting both hands on top of his shoulders as I jump off the bed using him as a support beam.

My Napper.: "No, no I do not." He said grabbing my hands as I went to pull them away and leading me out of the doorway. Now mind you, you must remember that everybody I come into contact with is masked. I don't know what they look like except for the height and they're build. He pulls me beside him as we walked down a baby blue hallway before turning and heading straight out a doorway leading to outside. I happily take in the wonderful smell of the fresh air letting the breeze gently spread across my face. Taking in my surroundings I see beautifully manicured green grass and gardens surrounded by huge redwoods as far as the eye could see.

My Napper.: "Beautiful .... isn't it ??" He asks me still holding on to my hand.

Me: "Quite frankly to be honest it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." I tell him truthfully.

My Napper: "It has become the second most beautiful thing that I have ever seen." He tells me as he is looking at me, as if he was staring into my very soul causing my cheeks to begin to burn.

Me: "Oh ?? Then what is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen, My Napper ??" I try sounding confidently only failing as my voice comes out as barely a whisper, instead of a confident volume. We sit there for a few moments incomplete silence, not uncomfortable silence as you would think. Then he spoke his words that followed sending butterflies to my stomach.

My Napper: " The beauty received before us now, Compares nothing to the beauty of you." He says and I know it causes my face to turn red with a blush.

Me: "Thank you .... may I ask you a question and would you please answer it honestly." I ask him.

My Napper: "You can ask me any question you like, and I will answer you as honestly as I can. If I can, but I won't lie to you if I can't answer you I'll tell you." He says to me motioning for me to continue and proceed to ask a question.

Me: "What do you plan to do with me ??" I asked him getting straight to the point.

My Napper: "That is a great question, as a matter of fact it's the same one I've been asking myself for the last 3 days. To which I do have the answer which is that I plan to take you back home. That is actually where we are going right now, is to a car nussled just a little beyond the lining of the Redwoods there." He tells me as he points in the direction just ahead of us.

Me: "Really ?? Are you not worried of the consequences that face you ??" I asked him wondering if he realizes just what lies ahead.

My Napper: "In order for there to be consequences to be had on my part, I would have to get caught returning you which I won't, don't worry." He says with a smug little grin on his face.

Me: "Oh, and what makes you so confident ??" I ask with a bit of mischief in my voice.

My Napper: "Because, I'm smarter than the average bear. " he says matching my mischief voice, causing me to let out a small laugh.

Me: "You know, if we had met under different circumstances, I could see us being friends." I say honestly.

My Napper: "Oh don't worry, we will." He tells me before blindfolding me as we approached a completely blacked out van.

My Napper: "This is where I say good bye and until we meet again. Sweet Dream's my dear." I hear him say, before I can completely register what's going on as I feel some sort of cloth being placed over my nose and mouth and then complete darkness sets in.

The next thing I know I am waking up as my mind is rather foggy while I look around in a daze.

James: " Shantelle .... oh god am glad you're okay !!" He says frantically pulling into his arm's as he crushes me in a bear hug.

Me: "James, you're crushing me, can't breathe." I say with the little air left in my lungs.

James: "Oh sorry sis." He says loosening his grip on me.

Me: "James what is going on, why is my memory so hazy and cloudy ??" I ask a tad bit confused.

James: "I think you where chloroformed and then dropped off on the front porch swing. Do not worry though you should be fine in a few. Come on let's get you something to eat and drink." He says helping me up and into the house.
