Love Assassins

<3 <3

I woke up to my landlady banging on the door. I was a heavy sleeper and my alarm clock didn't wake me up, so I asked her to. She was like my grandmother, I love her to death.

I padded across my room, then realized I was still in my body suite.

I quickly unchanged then threw on a loose T-shirt and shorts. I opened the door as she was about to knock again.

She looked up and smiled, then it faltered a little,"Rough night?" 

I nodded then my tummy growled. She chuckled," Hungry too I see?" I nodded again.

"I'll go make you some breakfast while you get ready for work, okay?"

I nodded," Thanks Mrs.Loppin (lovely name right?)." She smiled then waddled away down he hall.

I closed the door then stripped out of the T-shirt and shorts then climbed into the shower. I rubbed strawberry shampoo and conditioner into my hair then washed my body with cocoanut stuff. I probably smell like a walking smoothie now but whatever. I climbed out of the shower then wrapped my hair in a towel. I brushed my teeth then went to my closet and threw on some ripped skinny jeans, old black and white converses, and a black T-shirt with a red heart dripping red down it.

How..quaint.

I left my apartment and locked the door behind me.

I went down the stairs two at a time, then walked to Mrs.Loppins room. I was on the 2nd floor of the 4 story building. The highest building here was 6 stories up. Not much.

I knocked on her door then strolled in. She didn't mind. Their was a guy around my age sitting on the couch. He looked familiar, but I shook it off. Maybe he's a drug guy I'm supposed to take out. I don't know I'll see later.

It'd be a shame to kill him, he's cute.

I mentally slapped myself. He wouldn't want me, I'm a killer.

I shook my head mentally then went to the kitchen. I plopped down in a kitchen chair as she placed a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast.

I gulped it all down hungrily, then he walked in.

I quickly gulped down the food making my mouth clear of food. I nodded a thanks and was about leave when she called me back," Arabella would you mind giving my grandson a tour around town? You can have today off afterwards."

Mrs.Loppins was also my boss at the diner. She owned 5 buildings here. I went back into the kitchen then pointed to the cute guy," Him?"

She nodded," Go introduce yourself." She pushed her grandson towards me. He had a sly smirk on his lips. I knew his kind, player.

"We'll be back grandmother." She nodded not looking up from cleaning the dishes," Yeah yeah just don't get lost if you go into the woods. Now get out."

I smiled then headed out the door with 'what's his name' behind me. I walked out the door, the springs warmth wrapping around me, but the wind was still chilled.

I walked down the street, dust coated the bottom of my shoes. 'Whats his name' was walking next to me. He smirked," I'm James." I nodded. "Arabella." He chuckled lightly, "I know, grandmother said it."

I nodded.

"So, have you heard what happened last night?" I shook my head, but I was pretty sure I knew.

"Love Assassins, that's what they call them. They took out around 30 people last night in the old abandoned apartment building. Not a trace. Incredible isn't it?"

I nodded absentmindedly," How many people do you think is in Love Assassins?"

I asked playing dumb about it.
