Kidnapped!

"I think you owe us an explanation." Matt spoke up for the congregation of servants in the hall.
"Fine. Meet me in the ball room in 5 minutes." he replied.
When they were all gathered, he cleared his throat. The room became silent.
"I brought Relena here. I guess you could say I kidnapped her. I have known her for a long time. She met me for the first time a few days ago at a ball. Relena is the Queen of the Cinq Kingdom. She is tired and overworked. Heero, an old acquaintance of mine, broke her heart and left her. He came back and was going to break it all over again, so I brought her here," he told them in a monotone.
"Please clarify the reason you care that she is so overworked and heartbroken," said James wearily. He desperately hoped Jordan didn't love Relena.
"Um-I just don't like people to suffer." Jordan replied nervously. The women in the room scoffed. "Yeah right," they whispered.
"Well, there you have it. Please show Relena the same respect you would show a queen." Jordan said eyeing the college gang.
"Well, is she up for other guys to date?" asked Matt boldly. James, Brandon, and Erin looked at him in disbelief.
"No." Jordan replied curtly.
"Why not?" pressed Matt.
"She already has a date everyday this week." retorted Jordan.
"With whom?" asked Matt slyly.
"WITH ME!" Jordan yelled. Jordan left, leaving behind an astonished crowd of people.

The next day, Relena hadn't eaten a bite of food, but true to his word, Jordan came up to her room at 12 noon and scooped her up. Silently, he carried her downstairs to the basement. Relena was still asleep as he typed in his password and the iron doors slid open. He brought her to a table set for 2 and woke her up with a tap on the shoulder. Relena woke groggily.
"Where am I?" she asked, still half asleep.
"You're in my room. This is our first official date. I have lunch. It's your favorite: grilled cheese sandwiches, Doritos, lemonade, and cupcakes. You're going to eat it all, too. You're underweight."
Relena was awake now and shocked.
"How did you know my favorite food?" she asked.
"I realized that whenever it's your birthday, you ask for it, so I assumed it was your favorite. Eat up." He had placed an enormous amount of food on her plate. Three sandwiches, 4 cupcakes, and tons of Doritos.
"I'll never eat all of this!" she declared.
"I didn't think so. I'll eat half."
"Fine." she matched his toneless voice and began to gobble down the food.
"You can eat." he said to break the silence. She stared at him blankly.
"Why did you kidnap me?" she asked innocently.
"I think you know the answer to that question." he replied.
"Don't be like Heero. Give me an answer."
"Well, you were overworked, depressed, and broken hearted. I couldn't stand to see you like that, so I brought you here."
"That's still vague. Please clarify yourself," she said in a businesslike tone.
"I-I-I" he stuttered.
"Yes?"
"I really like you, might love you," he stated boldly. She didn't reply.
"Well?" he asked.
"Well what?"
"How do you feel about me?"
"I don't know."
"Could you someday love me?"
"I don't know," she repeated.
"Let me help you." He took her face in his hands and kissed her timidly, at first, and then deepened his kiss. She responded, giving him confidence.
"Did that help make up your mind?" he asked innocently. She gazed at him, looking deep into his eyes.
"Yes," she said with confidence. "I might could love you."
"It's a start." he replied with a hint of amusement.
