Chapter 45 - The city

when the lift doors open Blake takes my hand and leads me into his rooms ,all of a sudden im feeling shy "errr s so errr is there a reason you wanted to see me?" i ask while Blake just looks at me with a smirk on his face "hmmm no not really " he says much to my confusion then he laughs "well actually i was lying in bed this morning and i remembered this promise to show a very beautiful girl the city ,so i thought why not today" my face has gone bright red ,he called me beautiful my heart is beating fast i feel ridiculous im practically swooning because he called me beautiful, god i need to give myself a slap ,what wait hang on did he just say???? "errm what did you say? i ask sure i must have heard him wrong " well its up to you, i wont force you ,it was a stupid idea forget i said anything,i obviously got it wrong i thought you wanted to see the city sorry like is said forget it" he says gloomiley ,                                                                                                            i did hear him right i squeal excitedly and before i can think what im doing i launch myself into his arms ,he's not expecting my reaction so he falls back onto the bed laughing ,im ontop of him raining kisses all over his face saying "thankyou,thankyou,thankyou ,thankyou "over and over again before he catches my lips with his and deepens the kiss until i can barely breathe then he releases me and asks "so you do want to go then" i vigorously nod my head with a big grin on my face, i push down the guilt i feel about letting everyone down who are surpose to be escaping.

Blake took me into the city in his mustang, i don't know anything about cars but just by looking I knew it was special, once we parked the car we walked through the city, Blake holding my hand the whole time, everyone bowed when they saw Blake and i was given a lot of curious looks and a few hostile looks, Blake didn't seem to notice the people around us and only spoke to people when it was necessary, we went into a few shops and i just dutifully followed Blake around until he eventually turned to me and said: "is there something wrong with you?" "Errr no why?" he chuckled  "well we have been into god knows how many shops and you haven't shown any interest, if its money your concerned about don't be, you can have whatever you want",  i narrow my eyes at him "anything?" he doesn't flinch he just nods "hmmm ok i want these ....oh and this to match," i say holding up a pair of shoes with a £1500 price tag and a £1000 matching handbag, to my horror he nods to the sales lady and says "two sets one red one black", "wait  what ??? i was joking i don't want them, i saw the price and thought you would say no" Blake just raises his eyebrows at me "well you thought wrong didn't you, now what else do you want ?" "nothing " i whisper "come on pick he says i look him dead in the eye and reply "look to be honest apart from the fact that i really cant afford this stuff" Blake's about to interrupt but i hold my hand up stopping him before continuing " but i really do hate shopping " "you do?" he asks to which i nod "yep " he smiles "great" i raise my eyebrows confused as he motions for the sales woman who comes over, "right  i want to look at your catalogue" then she disappears and is back before i can ask whats going on and Blake leads me to a comfortable sofa near the changing rooms where Blake opens the catalogue "pen," he says holding out his hand, instantly a pen is placed there, then Blake spends the next 15 minutes ticking lots of items through the catalogue, then when he's done he hands the catalogue and pen with his bank card  back to the woman and says " i want this stuff delivered this afternoon " she nods "yes sir, ill just go run your card through the machine, sir?" "yes" "do you still want the shoes and handbags ?" "yes, i said i wanted them didn't i?" "sorry sir," she says and disappears then comes back and hands Blake his card which he places in his wallet then he takes my hand and leads me out of the shop.

As the afternoon wears on  Blake leads me to a park where people step to the side and bow as Blake walks past, i can feel their eyes on me and it's making me uncomfortable "what's the matter?" Blake asks me but i lower my eyes "nothing" Blake is frowning at me, i slowly raise my eyes but can still feel the stares so i look and sure enough many people are staring so i look down again but Blake sees raises his eyebrows and looks around "YES, DOES ANYONE HAVE A PROBLEM? IF NOT LEAVE NOW

i stop dead in shock Blake has set up a picnic beside the lake in the park "hungry?" he whispers in my ear "i i i er i ..did you do all this just for me?" Blake frowns "well no not exactly you see im hungry too and i didn't plan on watching you eat everything but if you really don't want to share i guess i can have some tic tacs or something " again i start laughing and Blake joins in, we laugh so long and hard tears are streaming down my face.                                                                                             the picnic couldn't have been any more perfect and Blake is now leaning against a tree with his arms draped across my stomach whilst i lean against his chest more relaxed then i have been in a long time ... "Blake?"    "hmmmm"    "why do you want to spend time with me?"  he raises his eyebrows "well what a stupid question, why do you have somewhere else to be?" he spits  "erm no of course not, where else could i go?"  im nervous its almost like he knows about the escape plan "oh and you will be staying with me tonight " "what?" he smirks "well yes i wouldn't want you running away from me now would i, just think of the trouble i would have to go through just to get you back" my blood runs cold he does know
