AFTER HOURS ✔

67

I rush back to my home my cheeks flushed in all shades of red.

He does not know the effect he has on me.

Ding

Ding

I am disturbed by my phone ringing.

I grab it to check the message but I don't I just keep it back there.

I decided to cool my head off a couple of things so I left my condo and reached the studio.

I was in there finishing some final touches.

I sit there as I daydream about the runway that is about to happen in a matter of a few days.

I could not help but let out a smile.

Like it would be a dream come true.

I don't even remember my eyes getting heavy and I doze off.

A few hours later

I feel my hair strand being pushed behind my hear but I was still asleep, just did not want to get up.

I feel a thumb caressing my cheek and it did not feel like Felix, I panicked and opened my eyes.

My heart was beating way too fastly.

My eyes widen as I see who is in front of me.

" Devin " I choke out the name which I never thought I would say.

He looked at me and gave an evil smirk.

" What are you doing here?" I ask him trying to stay far away from him.

He takes steps dangerously close towards me and I take a step back as he does that.

" Me? " he questions.

" Oh well I missed you," he says

I can't help but panic, I dont know how to react.

This is so not good.

" Devin I need to go, " I say trying to play it cool and turning away to run.

Just when I was about to do it, he grabs me by my hand.

Shit no.

" Loren, you want to do this the nice way or hard way? " he asks and I try to wriggle my hands out from his hold.

All of a sudden when I sting my nails to his wrist, he brings a handkerchief onto my face and I blackout.

Holy hell.

I am unable to move but I am aware of my surroundings.

" You little bitch " he shrieks.

" Try running now," he says as he bends down to stoop to my level.

He reaches out to put the hair strand behind.

" Loren remember when our parents left us alone? " he says reminiscing giving me a one side smile.

This is it, whatever I fought for all these days.

Those endless nightmares, all those times I cried in shower everything.

Just when I thought I was outgrowing all of it.

The devil shows up.

What did I even do to deserve this?

Tears sprung out of my eyes.

" Awwww why are you crying?" He comes.

" It is amazing knowing you work alone there would be no one to interrupt us," he says as he unbuttons his sleeve rolling it up.

I watch him prepare for the worst.

Whatever is there that's left for me to face.

But I also cannot help but hope.

I hold onto my last strand of hope, wishing this will all be over.

This is all just another nightmare. But I know I am just living a lie.

I close my eyes shut since that's the only thing I was capable of doing now.
