Anna's POV
I smiled at Noah and kissed him. We slept throughout the night and it is about lunch time.
Anna: "We should probably clean your wounds again."
He kissed me again and I got up to clean his wounds. He looked at me with a pout face.
Anna: "I will be right back."
I walked out of the room to grab the medical supplies. When I walked back in Noah was took off his shirt and laid on his stomach. This time when I was cleaning, he didn't clench his fists in pain like he used too.
Anna: "How does it feel?"
Noah: "A lot better. It doesn't hurt like it used too."
Anna: "Good."
I finished cleaning his back and asked him to sit up. When he sat up I began cleaning his face wounds. When he was knocked out with the vase, it opened his cut on his forehead. I was cleaning that when he looked up at me. I stared into his vivid blue eyes. After a few seconds he broke the silence.
Noah: "Your eyes are so alluring. They remind me of emeralds. Every time I look into them, it feels like my whole world is reflected in them."
I blushed, not knowing what to say. I just looked at him.
Noah: "You are so beautiful."
Anna: "And you are so handsome."
I looked down and blushed again. He kissed my cheek and asked if I were hungry. We decided to have a picnic at our neighborhood park, since we couldn't go anywhere else. We packed a couple sandwiches and I secretly brought a container of strawberries. I got ready and we walked to the park.
After about 5 minutes of walking, we reached the park. It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shining and the sky was cloudless. It was the perfect temperature. We sat on a blanket in the green grass. I unpacked the food and as soon as I placed the strawberries on the blanket, Noah stared at me.
Noah: "You brought those for me?"
Anna: "Yes, I wanted to surprise you."
He smiled and kissed my cheek. He opened the container and began to eat the berries.
We stayed at the park all afternoon. I was laying down on the blanket looking up at the blue sky. Noah was laying next to me. I broke the silence and complimented him.
Anna: "The sky reminds me of your eyes. Bright and blue."
He didn't answer but I could see him smile out of the corner of my eye. I turned to lay on my side so I could look at him. He turned his head and looked at me.
Anna: "Noah, you make me so happy. I never want to lose you."
I was trying to hold back tears. I had to look down to control my emotions.
Noah: "And you never will. Anna I promise I will never leave you."
He lifted my chin and kissed me. He then hugged me.
Noah: "I promise. Why don't we head back to the house."
I nodded and we packed up. We reached my house and walked inside. I put away the food and we decided to watch a movie. After a while I dozed off. When I woke up I was in my bedroom on my bed. Noah was nowhere to be found. I got up and walked out of my bedroom. As soon as I reached the top of the stairs The smell of fresh food hit me. I walked down the stairs and saw Noah cooking something. I quietly walked up behind him and hugged him. He jerked a bit but then realized it was me. He smiled.
Anna: "What are you cooking?"
Noah: "Breakfast."
Anna: "Smells good."
He soon finished breakfast and we sat down at the table.
Anna: "Wait... how long was I asleep?"
Noah: "We fell asleep at around 8. I woke up this morning before you and put you in your bed."
Anna: "Oh, thanks. I didn't realize how tired I have been."
We continued eating breakfast in silence.

MEANWHILE
Naomi's POV
Alex was leading me to my "new room". The hallways were dark and kind of scary. We finally made it to the room. He opened the door and walked in. I followed him and looked around the room. It was magnificent. The walls were covered in big wooden square tiles and there was a gorgeous chandelier cascading from the white ceiling. In front of me there was a king size bed with an ivory tufted headboard and two gold nightstands with black lamps on either side. You could see the neutral sheets under the black velvet bedding. To my right side was a window that covered at least one-third of the wall. I walked up to the window and looked outside. When you look out the window you could see the beautiful coast of Georgia with tall palm trees and clear blue waters. I was so mesmerized with the room that I forgot Alex was in the room... or that I was kidnapped!
Alex: "Do you like it?"
Naomi: "It's amazing!"
Alex: "I know you probably thought that I would put you in a dungeon instead of this. But I have already done enough... so I thought you deserved this."
Naomi: "I love it!! May I ask why?"
Alex: "Why what?"
Naomi: "Why you kidnapped me?"
I was hesitant when I said this. I was praying he wouldn't get mad.
Alex: "Oh umm....."
He was skeptical on what to say. I decided to forget about it.
Naomi: "Never mind. Thank you for the room!
I tried to sound as polite as possible. He looked up at me and smiled.
Alex: "Ok..... well..... my room is next door.... if you need anything."
He walked out of the room. Oddly, I didn't want him to go. But I kept my mouth shut and looked around the room. I laid on the bed and it felt so comfortable. I fell asleep a few hours later.
...
It's been a few weeks since I was kidnapped. Alex has been really generous and caring surprisingly, since he stole me. I didn't do much during the weeks I have spent here. I would wake up, get dressed with the extra clothes from Alex's maids, eat breakfast with Alex, spend most of the day in my room, eat dinner and go to sleep. Sometimes Alex would check on me but most of the time he was busy with work. I felt like I had a bond with Alex. I liked him.
When I woke up the sun was shining through the big window. I felt happy today. I got up, excited for breakfast, and put on the clothes on my nightstand. It was a beautiful day outside. I went to the dining room and Alex was already waiting there. The table was full of fruit and pancakes.
Alex: "Did you sleep well?"
Naomi: "Great! How about you?"
Alex: "Good."
I nodded and began to eat. While I was eating I could see Alex staring at me. I tried to ignore it and finished eating. I walked back to my room and I was admiring the view from the window. I heard the door open and I turned around. It was Alex.
Alex: "Can I talk to you?"
Naomi:" Yeah. Of course!"
Alex sat down on the bed and looked hesitant. I walked over to him.
Naomi: "Alex, what is it?"
He looked up at me for a moment and then stood up. He put my hands in his and looked into my eyes. His eyes looked sad and lonely. I was confused and worried.
Alex: "What I said about punishing you... that wasn't true. I would never punish you. And the reason I kidnapped you... well this is an awful excuse but, I was lonely. I needed someone to care about and spend time with. Ever since you have stayed here, I have been so much more happy. I don't think I would feel this way with another girl. I should have never kidnapped you. I am so sorry. You can leave and go back to your brother if you want."
He looked so sad. I was shocked when he explained why he stole me. I was absolutely speechless. He looked down.
Alex: "Go. I know you want too...."
Naomi: "Wait no-"
He cut me off about mid sentence.
Alex: "Go! Just get out!"
He let go of my hands. I stared at him in disbelief. I backed away and tears started falling from my eyes. I was trying to control them when he looked up at me. He realized I didn't want to leave and he walked towards me.
Alex: "Naomi I-"
Naomi: "No, j-just don't!"
I couldn't control myself anymore. I ran out of the room and towards the front door. I was sobbing when I heard Alex yell my name. I ran out of the house.
