I frown. "Well yeah, I have so many questions swirling around my head that I want to ask him."
"Then why didn't you call him?" Lacey raises her head to look at me.
"Because I know he'd want to see me,” I whisper and yawn. I'm getting tired, glancing at the window, I see that the sun is lowering. I have no
idea what time it is. I'm trying my hardest not to move. Every time I move even a tiny bit, pain radiates throughout my body.
"And?"
"I'm not strong enough to say no to him. If I saw him, I'd be on my back and him inside of me within seconds." I tell her truthfully. "He's got this thing about him that I can't explain. Whenever I'm around him I feel safe, I feel as though I'm where I'm meant to be. It's like I'm drawn to him like a moth to a flame. I know that if I see him again, those questions I have will go out of my head and I'll be with him."
Lacey's eyes fill with sorrow. "You love him Mia, that's totally understandable. You're strong and I know you, you wouldn't just get back with him without resolving everything first."
"Maybe," I reply, but it's half-hearted. I really don't know what I'll be like.
"Mia, what are you going to do about Hudson when we get out of here?"
"If we ever get out of here," I groan.
"No, we're getting out of here," Lace says defiantly.
"You're so sure aren't you?" I’m not convinced.
"Well Hudson has said from the first day he saw you again that you’re his. That means something, whether you want him or not, Hudson loves you and he's not going to let some asshole take you away from him."
My breath catches because she's right. Hudson's not going to let me just walk away willingly, not until I've spoken to him. He definitely won't let someone take me from him. "He’s going to come for us." For the first time since I woke up in this room, I finally feel a tiny bit of hope.
"But how will they know where we are?" Lacey asks and I want to sigh, she was so determined that he’d find us and now she’s wavering. "We don't even know who has us or where the hell we are, how do you expect Hudson to?"
"Have faith Lace, that's all that any of us can do. Believe that they'll find us." Even though my words are full of steel, I’ve lost the certainty I had only moments ago.
"I don't know if I have any faith left in this world," Lacey confesses.
"You spoke to Barney?" I ask, that's the only thing that I can think of that would have her doubting everything.
"Yes." Her voice taking an edge to it. "He called me while I was at home."
"What did he say?" If I ever get out of here, I'm going to have a serious talk with that asshole. What the hell is wrong with him?
Yawning, I bring my hand to my mouth to cover it, the sound of clinking metal makes me want to yell in frustration.
"He called me to see how I was." She shakes her head. "I thought it was so sweet and maybe he had regretted what happened after we had sex..." She trails off, her eyes fill with tears.
"But?" I ask, wanting to know what happened next.
"He wanted to know when I was back, that he'd love to see me again. I asked him about that night and if we were to ever have sex again would he do the same? He told me that if I didn't like it, that's my problem. That he doesn't do relationships and he doesn't do the whole after sex thing. He leaves, he always has and he always will."
Oh god, she really likes him and he's basically told her that he's never going to want her for anything other than sex.
"Lace..." My voice is full of sympathy and Lacey flinches. "He's not worth it. The tears, the sleepless nights. Lacey, you're more than sex, and you deserve to be treated like that too. Forget him, there's plenty of other men out there that will treat you with the respect you deserve."
A heavy sigh escapes her. "Why are men assholes? They either lie, cheat, or are complete jerks."
She's asking me something I’m dying to know too. I'm still reeling from the fact that Hudson hadn't told me what he did for a living. If he had, maybe we wouldn't be where we are right now. There's no need for the lies, lies only lead to heartache.
We sit in silence, both of us deep in our own thoughts. I don't know how much time passes, but darkness settles over the room. I'm terrified. Fear is choking me and all I want to do is cry but I know that's not going to help me, it's just going to make me feel shittier. My eyes begin to droop and I know that it's not going to be much longer until I fall asleep. Glancing over at Lacey, I can't really see her, I can make out her silhouette and see that she's lying down but other than that I'm blind. Gritting my teeth, I lie down, tears leak from my eyes as the pain gets too much. Once I'm lying down, I release a harsh breath and close my eyes. It doesn't take long for me to fall into a painful sleep.
I wake with a start, I manage to catch the groan that was about to escape. I don't open my eyes as I'm not sure what's happening. My ears are filled with the soft snores that are coming from Lacey. I'm trying to wrack my brain to figure out what caused me to wake? Something must have happened? Other than Lacey snoring, I'm met with silence.
