Awaited Encounter

Part 18

Bokuto pov

A sudden chirp made my head jerk. My eyes peeled open, only to be met with complete darkness. "You have got to be kidding me, I have Ai's wedding today too." I groaned with the strain of my throat.

I shifted on my bed and picked up my phone. While wincing from the bright light, I saw the notification that interrupted my slumber. It was an unknown number, but I recognized it somehow.

My finger tapped against the screen and brought me to an almost empty chat. As soon as I saw the previous messages, I remembered the number.

Dozens of pictures of Akashi were sent to me the day he told me the truth. I must have forgot about them because of my black out.

With squinted eyes, I scrolled down. My lips parted in shock from the other set of photos all centered around my lover.

Is he stalking Akashi? Who is he? And why Akashi?

A surge of anger and nervousness strung through my body as I typed out a quick message. The text was simple, only me asking who this person was and how he got those photos. I wanted to ask more questions but that would make things worse.

The unknown person replied fast.

Unknown: I took them of course!

The fact that he dodged my first question made me snort. He sounded proud of it too.

Me: Stay away from my boyfriend.

Unknown: No can do!

Now he is pissing me off.

Me: Who even are you?! What do you want with my boyfriend?

Unknown: You don't know me? So mean~ It's A if you must know. Remember me?

A knock reverberated throughout my house. The sound startled me for a moment before I calmed myself down. Looking back at the text the unknown number sent, I got off my bed.

Before leaving my room, I took precautions. I dug in my drawer and searched for one of the many birthday gifts my sisters have given me.

Ever since my siblings joined the force, they have always bought me weapons to defend myself. Meg over does it a bit though. Last year she brought me a flamethrower. I tried explaining to her that it's not that easy to carry, but she ignored me.

I kind of wish I had it now.

Pulling out two blades, I tucked them in the waistband of my pants for easy reach. I headed towards the door only to find Kuro also lurking. He looked up and down at my body before pulling at his pockets to show his knives. "Twins." He muttered with a grin.

I gave my roommate a smile before pressing my body against the door. "Do you know who they are?" Kuro asked me while nudging his head towards the window. I peeked up and saw a black figure standing by the front door.

What was even stranger was the silhouette had flowers in their hands. With that image plastered in my mind. I remembered what the texts from before said. A... A...

"My stalker." I spoke out loud.

Kuro turned his head to me, "the person who's been bugging you for a year? That would explain the flowers but why now?"
