I opened my eyes enough to tell it was day light. I had no idea what time or even what day it was. I had to fight to wake up. Once awake I looked at the room. It was nice but was not sure if it was a house or hotel. I saw the bathroom and then realized I had awakened because I had to go to the bathroom. I pushed the covers off and pulled my legs off the bed. I sat up. I tried to stand up to go to the bathroom but my legs didn’t work and I hit the floor with a thumb. I looked up and there was Matt. He said, “What are you doing down there?” I said, “Trying to get to the bathroom.” Kind of laughing at me he put one hand under each one of my arms and raised me from the floor. He said, “When I took this job I was not prepared for a weakly child that I had to clean off the floor.” I said on the way to the bathroom with a whining voice, “What were you expecting?” Matt said, ” I was told you were very smart and so strong that you could take out a group of men with one hand.” I was so weak he had to almost sit me on the toilet. I said in a sarcastic manner, “Na na na Mr kidnapper I am sorry to disappoint you and make your job so difficult.” He laughed at me as I started peeing. Matt asked, “Are you hungry?” I thought about and said, ‘Yes , if it is not full of drugs. You have messed me up so bad I cant walk.” Matt responded, “NO, drugs just food. Don’t get off the toilet if you cant walk. I cleaned you off the floor once today that’s my limit.” I said, “So you drug me so I cant walk and then complain you have to clean me off the floor. I don’t think you will win any awards for mister nice guy this year.” He kind of laughed and said, “I have never had anyone talk to me that way. Most people keep there mouth closed around me.” He then left the room. I sat there for several minutes and when I could pull myself up to the sink. I washed my hands and face. I was starting to regain control and made it to a chair in the room and sat down. I really didn’t want to go back to sleep. In came Matt with a cart and food. Pulled it up in front of me taking the lid off one plate and saying, “Here you go sweetheart. Do I have to feed you too?” I thought sweetheart as I looked at the food, Salmon, broccoli, scalloped potatoes, chocolate moose, class of orange juice and a big glass of milk. I thought sweetheart what’s that about? Then my stomach said to me let’s eat. I looked at Matt and said, “No, I’m fine.” Matt left the room. I picked up the fork and dug in. It tasted so good. I thought it must be the drugs that is making the food taste so good or its just good food.
Matt came back in the room and put some clean clothes on the bed. Turn to me and said, “When you are done please take a shower?” I thought he even said please. I looked at him and said, “no problem.” He then presented me with a another horse pill. I took it thinking its a iron pill and downed it with the milk. He left the room again. I ate everything on the tray and then went and took shower. Again the hot water felt really good and I liked the feeling of being clean after ward.
After the shower I went and sat in the chair. The cart was gone and someone had made the bed. I took my left hand in fist with my thumb up. Grabbed my thumb with my right hand and tried to squeeze. I couldn’t hardly feel it. I had no strength. I shut my eyes leaned my head against the chair and thought if I just think of home maybe I could get out of here. Like Dorothy in the wizard of Oz saying there’s No place like home. But it didn’t work in fact when I opened my eyes there was Matt in my face looking at me. He said, “Are you still sleepy? I can get you some coffee.” Startled I said, “I was just resting my eyes. I got water in them in the shower.” He took my hand saying, “Ok, then lets go in the other room. There is a tv. Maybe we can find something to watch. He led me to a small living room with a couch, chairs and tv. When we got in front of the couch he turn facing me and put his hand on my waist. Ticking me. I laughed and said, “What are you doing?” Matt said, “Just seeing if you are ticklish.” I said, “Well yes I am.” He sat on the couch and padded it for me to sit down. We sat on the couch while he clicked through he channels. Most had foreign language but then he found an english speaking movie. After about 20 minutes a waiter type person came in and up to Matt. Would you like anything else? Matt said yes to the man and explained that he would like some wine. The man left and return with a cart that had wine and two glasses. He open the wine and pour some into the glasses. Handing one to Matt who then hand it to me and then he handed Matt another glass. The man then said again, “Will there be again thing else?” Matt responded, “No, thankyou that is everything.” The man left the room. Matt put his right arm around my back and said, “I don’t want you to worry about anything. Everything is going to be fine and if you get any pains again let me know right away.” I looked at him and said, “OK, sure.” I looked at his arm on my back and his hand on my right shoulder and thought, does he think I am his girl friend? Does he treat all his captives this way? After over an hour and my glass was empty he muted the tv and got up and put on some music on. He took my glass putting it on the cart and took my hand. Matt said, “Let’s dance I need to get off the couch for awhile.” I agreed I needed to get up and walk around. He took me in his arms like at the house and we danced back and forth for several songs. It was nice. He wasn’t squeezing me to death and he didn’t push my head against his chest. He stopped dancing and put his hand under my chin to raise my head to kiss me. I turned my head to the side. He said, “Please don’t I really like you. You are the first women I have really had feeling for.” I responded, “I am the first women in your whole life? I mean this guy must be in his forties at least. He took his hand under my chin turning my head so our eyes meet. He said, “I am not going to lie to you. I think I am in love with you and I have never been truly been in love with anyone before. I really wish you would give me a chance?” I looked at him and said, “I don’t know you and you came into my house and kidnaped me. Did you kidnap me because you were in love with me?” Matt said, “No, there was a contract on you and I took it. They didn’t think just anyone else could complete it because of your passed history so they called me. But the first time I saw you I fell in love with you. Ok, lets sit back down.” We sat back on the couch and he pour more wine in our glasses and searched for something else to watch. Matt said, “Tomorrow I will find something for us to do that has more exercise.”
When I went to bed and felt really good. Matt said to me as I got in bed, ” I will be in my room if you need anything at all, just call or come and tell me.” I shook my head with a yes and he left the room shutting the door behind him. I took my dress off and hung it on the head board post. I thought as I fell asleep why cant I jump?
