Chapter 1 - The Unknown👤

I was looking through a few files from my work at home peacefully when I felt someone's gaze on me.
I look around to see whose gaze was it, resulting in seeing no one.

I then peek out my window and see a figure staring at me. His piercing gaze made me feel quite uneasy. I shook it off and went back to work, hastily closing the window and drawing the curtains.

I boarded a public bus home from my office the next evening. There was no one in the bus except for me and a man in the backseat who was wearing a hoodie and a mask.
I sat down, plugged in my airpods, and began listening to music.
The man approached me and sat next to me.

What the hell? Why'd he sit here? There are so many other seats to sit on. Hmph!

I tried to look at him, but I couldn't make out his face.

I widened my eyes and scooted away from him as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
He drew me in closer, eliciting a small gasp from me.

"E-excuse me..." I said trying to remove his hand from my shoulder.

The man responded, "Shh, it's all good sweetie".

Damn, He's got a really deep voice.

"Please move before I call 911" I said calmly.

"The 911 won't help", stated the man.

"Why?" I asked in curiosity.

Is he..a cop himself?

"Why not", he chuckled.

I rolled my eyes.

"Ooh, you look hot doing that" he said.

I shrugged and the next thing he does is keep his hand on my thigh.

I said, "Could you please stop?!"

The guy asked, "Why? Aren't you liking it?"

"What the fuck, no!" I replied.

I grabbed my phone to call the police but the guy snatched it away.

"What the fuck?! Give me my phone back!" I said in a warning tone.

"Psh, no" expressed the guy.

I took out my perfume, coming up with an idea.

"You better give my phone and move aside or I'll spray this in your eyes!" I said trying to threaten him.

"Woah chill babe." said the guy.

I shouted, "GIVE ME MY PHONE!"

He handed me the phone & I took it.

I got up and sat in another seat to which I heard him chuckle.

I got off the bus when it came to a stop near my house.
There was a puppy near my house.
I approached it and began patting it while conversing with it.
As though someone was behind me, the dog began to bark.

"Omo, what happened?", I said to the puppy.

"What's wrong, little pup?"

I heard a deep voice behind me.

The puppy kept barking and I looked behind.

"Y-you?!", I said as I noticed it was the same man from earlier in the bus, my eyes widened.

"Yeah, it's me, babygirl"

"Wtf! Did you follow me?"

"No, I live here"
