Samantha's P.O.V. :

There stood the boy in front of me in all his glory. The one I'd specifically said I'd started developing a crush on, being by kidnapper's son, Adam. I slowly moved my gaze connecting with his beautiful, amber eyes and my breath hitched. So much sadness and worry, guilt and regret, I could see all those emotions fleeting across them. He looked so... so vulnerable that I couldn't believe that it was the same boy who I used to see at school, who always had a smile across his face. But I'd never considered it to be facade. But now it seems like it.

He spoke,"Sorry, because of my father you have to suffer. But I don't want to keep you caged. So, let's make a deal. What do you say?" His tone was so gentle that I flinched, I'd never heard such gentleness from anyone. Especially my parents. He looked scared at my reaction when I slowly murmured,"What kind of deal?" When he answered back with an ounce of nervousness,"Uh... My dad wants me to keep here in this country. And no escape. He wants me to keep you safe but treat you like a prisoner. And I... I don't want to do that. So, if I keep you free, we can have this kidnapping as a road trip, just as friends. And you won't try to escape at all. Deal?" 

When I thought about the ordeal, I had no doubt in my mind and easily said "Yes", much to Adam's relief and that's when he gave one of those breathtaking smiles which made my heart beat miles faster. He motioned me to sit in the passenger seat and played slow music in the radio. It was blissful, just the way I liked. And about making the deal, my parents definitely won't care about it. They will be definitely happy to get rid of me and the sooner, the better for them, I presume, now that mother's pregnant with a boy. The boy who'll be the heir of the family which never considered me a part of it. I loved children, I truly did. And having a little brother was something I would have definitely appreciated if my parents would have cared about it.

"For how much time was I out?" I asked totally curious as now I was in a car and earlier a plane.

"Pretty much about a whole day" He answered.

Adam was humming to the songs. It seemed that he knew the song. He was hesitating to sing in front of me, I understood. But that's when I joined the lyrics and enjoy it while tapping my foot. Adam followed my lead and that's when I definitely knew that this road trip would definitely be full of surprises which I haven't even thought about. With the boy besides me and the new deal made between us, I wonder how it will take turns.
