I held my phone to my ear as I listened to it ring twice then, "Hello?......you've reached Madison, sorry I missed your call, leave a message and I'll get back to you, thanks!"

Damn, it went to voicemail.

She sounded so.... bubbly and full of energy. I wonder if she runs off of batteries? I can't really start to judge her yet because I don't know her and as far as I know, she hasn't done me anything wrong or caused any harm.

I shoved my phone back into my pocket and grabbed my coffee walking back into the living room with Bates. I sat on the couch beside him, "how is the coffee?" He asked. "Delicious and hot." I replied. "Just like the woman sitting next to me." He said while raising his eyebrows. "Smooth." I said with a giggle.

Why did this have to happen the first morning that I'm here? Its going to constantly stay on my mind ruining my stay.

I turn sideways putting my feet into his lap and notice he's really into the tv show, "you like racing?" I asked him. "Oh I love Nascar, figured I'd catch up on it since I'm couch bound for a while." He said resting his hand on my leg.

Racing doesn't really interest me, but I'm sure if I watched it for a few minutes it would. The only sport I've played was basketball and that was my junior year in high school and kick boxing from ages seven to ten.

I brought the coffee mug to my lips as I looked at Bates while he was in tunnel vision. My eyes ran from the side of his face down to his strong jaw bone watching his lips curve while sipping the hot liquid. 

Looking at his face structure and how handsome he is made me realize that I am here with him, she isn't. Why let that continue to be on my mind when we are so happy together, if I bring it up it may cause problems between us. I will enjoy my time being here because he wanted me to be here with him. I will not let her bombard my brain and make me worry.

A small smile tugged at my lips letting those thoughts go as he rubbed his hand on the bottom of my foot back and forth causing a tickle.

**************************

We watched his racing until it was over and decided to watch a movie. We untangled ourselves from each other as he stood and insisted on making us a quick snack when I told him that I can do it and he should be the one relaxing. I didn't argue because he surprises me with everything he makes. "What kind of movie do you want to watch?" I yelled from the living room to the kitchen.

"Uhhh, doesn't matter. You pick sweetie.. " he yelled back. I looked through his different categories of movies and noticed a bunch of horror, didn't take him for the type but maybe we could watch one later so I'll have an excuse to hold him tight. I ended up settling with a mystery, something we could both get into and popped it into the DVD player.

I may as well go to the bathroom before the movie starts so we don't have any interruptions. I closed the lip to the DVD player as it idled on the menu while I went to the bathroom. After I was finished, I looked into the mirror running my fingers through my hair making sure I looked my best for Bates and then was startled when my pocket started to buzz.

I reached into my pocket and pulled my phone out, checking the screen I saw a number that wasn't saved calling.

But yet, it was all too familiar...

Ohhhhhh....... Its that number, the one I memorized this morning, but tried so hard to forget, the one that was blowing up Bates phone...

Should I answer? Hell yeah I'm going for it....

I pressed the 'answer' button, "hello?" I answered quietly just in case Bates heard me. I didn't hear anything.

"Hello??" I said again but louder this time... Still nothing. Is she playing games with me? As I was about to end the call, I heard a faint noise making me raise it back up to my ear.

I held it there tightly listening for a noise, any noise, a voice maybe. I began to get aggravated and I was going to let her know this, "look, there's no reason for you to be texting Bat--" I was cut off by a voice at the other end of the line but they weren't close. It was as if their voices were muffled or far away even. I stopped talking into the phone and held it tighter against my ear holding my breath straining to hear the voices.

"..(static).....bitch has another thing coming, she thinks she can just....(static)....him away from me? I will get my hands on her......a promise!"

This psycho bitch pocket dialed me and is threatening me. Who else could she be talking about, seems like a coincidence to me. I could hear another female's voice cheering and egging her on, "Madison, you always get revenge in the worst ways girl, I love it!"

I couldn't help but gasp and just stand inside of this bathroom in shock. I'll never be able to walk out of here with a straight face. My blood was boiling more and more by the second.

I continued to listen, "And as for Bates, if my car wasn't enough to hurt him.... (pause)....I'll hire someone with something way more powerful that will... "

I'd heard enough...

I ended the call and was in total shock. This bitch tried to kill Bates.

Holy shit!

I will never let her get away with this. I felt tears start to prick my eyes at the thought of someone hurting Bates. But it's much deeper now, this now involves me and she may even try to kill me as well.

I sank down to the bathroom floor as a tear slipped down my cheek.
