RUN

CHAPTER THREE

I turned my body slightly on the verge of collapsing to see who was holding onto my hand, it was  Marta a colleague and close friend of mine , smiling at me she said "Andrea , hey".

Still too shaking up by what I hope was not true I couldn't speak I simple turned back around facing what was now a empty spot where the hooded person was supposed to be.

"Andrea?", Marta questioned.

"Sorry I thought I saw someone I knew", I responded.

"Are you okay....because if your not I could come back another time".

"I'm fine Marta", I laughed to ease the tension," so what's up".

"Its just that Brandan you remember him right tall, pale skin".

"Yes, what about him".

"Well he asked about you yesterday" she said nervously," and I might have told that you're single".

I let out a genuine laugh this time," and what's wrong with that".

" So are you open to going on a date with him", she looked hopeful.

"Date who said anything about that"

"I might have told him you wouldn't mind going out with him", she winced.

 sighing " Marta", I groaned.

"I know I know I'm sorry but I can tell him your busy", she said trying to  fix things.

" Its okay I need to go out anyway so when is the date", I asked.

" Tomorrow ", she replied quickly, too quickly.

Eyeing her I sighed " I'll be there".

she smiled at me helping me get the rest of my groceries while going on and on about Brandon, as we finished up the shopping she followed me to my car.

"Tell me all the details Monday every last drop", smiling I nodded  at her.

Even though the shopping lasted way longer than I expected I was quite happy with what I got,  as soon as I got home I started to pack out and organize items in there rightful area. 

When I finished that I started to clean my house so it actually looks like someone lived here, who knows I might have a visitor tomorrow if things go well.

After the house was spotless I took a step back to examine my handy work, smiling to my self I decided that taking a shower was the best course of action since I was sweating a great deal.

 Slipping my dress off my body and in to the basket I tugged my under ware down my legs and stepped into the bathroom, telling myself that instead of a shower I should just soak off today in a nice warm bath.

I left the water running to grab some of my favorite essential scented oils and also a bath bomb, turning the tap off I sink into the bath tub loving the feeling of the water around my body.

 Sighing I picked up my razor running it over my legs that haven't been shaved in a week. After I was finished with my legs I reached for a different razor, lifting my right leg I made sure I shaved every single part between my legs without cutting my slit in the process.

After finishing my bath I grabbed my towel to dry my self walking into the bedroom to get dressed. I pulled on a cotton shorts and a hoody grabbing my phone off of my night stand ready to call my mom, but a noise caught my attention I heard shuffling in the bushes outside my window reminding me  about the  incident in the grocery store with the cross on the person neck, my stomach fell.
