What did I ever do to get myself into this situation? Last thing I remember was being in my apartment with him and now I am tied to a fucking bed. I don't know how long I have been held captive. I don't even know where the hell I am. I woke up distorted and I am terrified he will do something to me. I need to find a way to get out of here. I tried to yell and cried for help but I got nowhere. I have a gag in my mouth so I know nobody can hear me. Does anyone even know I'm missing? How did he manage to bring me here? I live on a very busy street. I have my car parked outside the apartment building. Someone had to see something.
I don't know what he plans on doing with me. I hate to think of what is going on in his mind. I can't believe I ever trusted him. I thought we were friends. We had been friends for so long. Our fathers knew each other from the army days and they always went on fishing trips together. Why would he do this to me? What did I do to him to make him snap and kidnap me?
I remember that day clearly. He called me to see if I wanted to go out for lunch on Sunday afternoon. I was busy with a deadline for a manuscript that I needed to turn in to my boss Jack. I know he had or has feelings for me but he knew that I couldn't reciprocate those feelings and that I could only offer him my friendship. Thinking back to our last conversation I should have known something was off.
~FLASHBACK ~
"Hey Jose, what's up?" I answered. He had called me three times since this morning. I knew that if I didn't answer the call he would keep calling till I answered.
"Hi Ana, listen I was calling to see if you were free for lunch today? I haven't seen you in a while and I thought maybe we can meet up today," he says.
"Jose now is not good timing. I have a deadline on a manuscript that I have to turn in tomorrow. I was just going to stay in today and eat here at my apartment."
"Come on Annie, just for a little while. Get out and get some fresh air. I miss you, you know? I miss hanging out with you. Ever since you graduated and got that job I don't see you anymore," he says and I'm getting annoyed.
"Look Jose, like I said now is not a good time. Maybe we can catch up another time during the week?" I say hoping he will just give up trying.
"What if I go over to your place and we can eat there. I can pick up some take out and some drinks. What do you say?" I roll my eyes and sigh.
"Ok, fine but just a quick bite. Let me know when you're on your way and I'll buzz you in."
"Sounds good Ana. See you in a bit," Jose says with excitement.
"Bye Jose," I hang up.
I guess I can take a small break from reading. I just hope he doesn't stay long. I really want to finish this manuscript.
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
That was fast. I asked who it was and it's Jose. So I buzz him in and a few minutes later Jose walks in to my apartment. He gives me a hug and I have him set our food down and I grab two glasses for our drinks.
As we eat he tells me again that he misses me and us hanging out. I tell him I have just been so busy with work and that my boss has me reading a lot of manuscripts.
"Aye Dios mio Ana! Why do you let your boss over work you?" he asks.
"It's my job as his assistant Jose. I really don't mind, I love to read. Hence my major in English Literature remember?" I say to him. I don't know why he is irritating me right now.
He moves closer to me and reaches out for my hand. I look at him and I don't like where this is headed.
As he sits there he tightens the grip on my hand and says "Ana I.. I love you and I want us to be together. I have been waiting for you for such a long time now and I feel like I can't just be your friend. I want to be your boyfriend and then become your husband one day," I just sit there eyes wide and mouth open. Not this again, why doesn't he just let this go.
"I'm sorry, what? Jose we have been through this already. I don't feel the same way you do. I have been completely honest with you since day one. I don't want to hurt your feelings but I can't be anything but a friend to you. I'm sorry." Has he lost his mind.
"Why Ana? Why can't you love me?" He asks me with a sad tone in his voice.
"I don't know Jose, I just don't see you in that way. I do care for you but in the form of a friend, look we grew up together so it's more of a brotherly love. Beside, I just got this new job and a great career. Now is just not the best time for me to have a relationship. Listen, I really need to get back to that manuscript," I say to him. I really don't want to hurt him more than he already feels.
"Okay Ana if that's how you feel. I guess I can wait a while longer," he says and he stands up to throw his food away and take his empty glass to the sink. What part of I don't have those feelings for him does he not understand. It's like he he isn't paying attention to what I am telling him. This conversation is making me real uncomfortable.
As I get up to go to the kitchen, I start getting dizzy. I don't know what's happening. I try to find something to grab onto to hold me up, I drop the glass I drop the glass I have in my hand and I turn and see Jose standing right in front of me. The dark look in his eyes and the smirk is all I see before everything goes black.
A/N: Uh oh... so I thought maybe I'd try a little drama and angst for a new story. Let me know what you guys think?
