Daniel POV: "Never underestimate your opponent," I say waiting for her to get up. She mutters something in Japanese and then she stands up straight glaring at me. She throws a punch and I grab her fist twisting her arm and now her back is pushed against my front"I need you to try Nina" I whisper in her ear and she huffs pushing away from me. We fix our stances again. She throws a punch and as I dodge it I see her leg try to trip me so I take a step back"Good your learning," I say and she smiles at the encouragement"I think I need a little more encouragement," she says. We start to circle around the mat and I scoff. She's always trying me"Okay what," I ask throwing a punch and she dodges it"If I win I get to use your Amex card for 2 weeks," she says swinging I dodge the punch but she ends up tripping me and I fall on my back. My body falls with a thud and my head bangs onto the mat pretty hard. Shutting my eyes and holding in my breathe I play dead that utter teach her"You can g

Daniel POV: "Is that your girlfriend?" Nina asked. I look over at Bella and she senses me and turns around to face me with a smile. Some song by Chris Brown is playing and she looks happy. Good because I want her to have fun tonight "Yeah," I say facing Nina and she smiles looking at Bella "She's so pretty," she says and I nod. Bella is too pretty for her own good. I know I'm lucky to have her and I'm trying not to ruin that. My glass is empty the only remains being the big ice cube."I need a refill" I say shaking the glass "Yeah, same," Nina says. We both walk over to the bar area and I order myself another whiskey but Nina surprises me by ordering 2 fingers of scotch and then a shot of vodka. She asked the guy to mix the liquids together and pour the mix into a glass for her. When her order comes I watch patiently to see if she's just bluffing or if she's really going to drink. She thanks the bartender and takes a sip of the glass with a hum of satisfaction "Your fucking with m

Bella POV: Usually, when people get kidnapped there's something to show for it but these people made me breakfast, and then I went for a swim not by choice it was more like a demand. I think they wanted to see me in something close to being naked. I don't know maybe I should be glad that I'm not tied up and gagged like a dog. Poor dogs I'm eating lunch with them outside on the patio and to be honest, their house is beautiful. I was just allowed to explore and I did. If I read or watched movies on what I must do in the situation that I am in I would by all means use all the tips to my advantage. This Luca guy said his having people come to see me today and that led to an argument in which he almost slapped me this piece of shit of a man "Stop looking at me and eat" he seethes. Clicking my tongue I continue to pick at my food. I'm not a picky eater but I'm not eating a Greek salad for lunch it's summer for fucks sake. I'm also not eating pasta or anything with cheese but I would go f

Daniel POV: "Hey where's Bell" Noah says and I turn around to find him covered in blood. He takes one good look at me and his shoulders slump. He opens his mouth and then shuts it. He tosses his gun onto the floor and shakes his head "No" he whispers in disbelief "Where's Bell, Daniel" he yells now in panic. I turn facing the ground again. I can't do this right now. I can't. I'm trying to process everything. What she was right here. No, she was right here. I was going to take her home and get her a small car fuck I was going to do things differently. I was going to. I was "No I'm not doing this where is she" he yells walking closer to me. I weakly point my gun toward the cliff. Suddenly I hear the thud of things falling on the ground. Looking over at Noah his already running and jumping off the cliff. Everything dawns on me when I watch him jump with open arms into the water. This is more than just his duty. He loves her and maybe if I just let them be together she would be alive r

Bella POV:"Shit Noah call a doctor to come to check on Bella's head. She shouldn't still be bleeding" Clyde says and I snuggle closer to him. "Do me a favor Bell and don't sleep" Clyde whispers in my ear and I nod. Noah starts dialing people's numbers and I smile at his rusty Italian. Maybe I hit my head too hard but I feel at home with these two. They are my friends and I love them both. I almost died today and I'm busy throwing the word I love around like free candy"Okay the doctor is on his way," Noah says sitting down next to me."Food" I whisper and Noah chuckles"Okay, I'll go make some," Clyde says patting my back. He gets up and I sigh at the loss of comfort"Come let me run you a bath," Noah says standing up and I sigh raising my hands for him to pick me up again"So this is the real Bell a big softie," Noah says and I slap his chest."You're lucky I'm feeling loopy," I say placing my hand on his cheek. "Hey Noah you have soft lips," I say poking his lips. He also has nice
