"They won't notice were gone, trust me"

"But, Charles-"

"Do you not trust me?" He has a mischievous smile on his face, his hand gently wrapped around my wrist trying to pull me away from the group before they notice we've stopped

"Of course I trust you but we're in a town we've never been to before, in a foreign country may I add"

"Amour, nothing is going to happen to you as long as i'm here, now come on" I roll my eyes, a smile on my face knowing i've completely given in to his begging

"We better go before they notice" His eyes light up at my hint to agreeing with him, quickly leading me in the opposite direction of where everyone else is at walking headed back to the house

We turn a corner telling us our friends can no longer see us, his hand slides down from holding my wrist, grabbing ahold of my hand and placing it in his, "Where are we going Marc?" I turn my head in order to look into his green eyes, I seem to be struggling to stop smiling the past couple of days

"I'm kidnapping you, Valentine" he wiggles his eyebrows, a clear look of excitement on his features after I agreed to follow him

This boy could walk into a house that's engulfed in flames and I would follow him immediately, when he first proposed the idea of escaping the group I already knew i'd say yes, only refusing in order to give him a hard time and watch him continue to beg

We walk past the main square where we had danced a couple nights ago, people are all laughing, dancing, and enjoying one another's company everywhere I look, the small town coming alive the minute the sun is up and refusing to hush until far past sunset

After a couple more minutes of walking we arrive at the end of the beach, the cliffs rising upwards of ten meters hunting that we've reached our destination

"Ever surfed before?"

"Yes! No youtube video needed"

"You sure you don't want to watch it just incase? Might help you get at-least a little bit closer to my level"

"I'm doing perfectly fine but I wouldn't judge if you admitted to needing a quick go over course"

He assures me he doesn't need it as we arrive at a small shack, with a bunch of surfboards leaning against the walls inside and around the exterior

After asking for two and changing into the wet suits we walk out onto the beach, i'm headed towards the water when he grabs my wrist, stopping me in my tracks

"We're not surfing here, follow me"

"It's a little late to go through with the whole kidnapping thing Leclerc"

"It's never to late, i'm just extremely dedicated, you know, with me being an undercover personnel and everything"

"You'd think spending majority of your 73 years of life would make you impatient"

"I'm a very patient person" I'm not and yet still waited seven months for your dumbass so we should use that word pretty loosely

We walked of the beach and onto a road that turns right going around the cliffs

"Where are we going?"
