a BEAST in the WOLVES pack

FOUR

WHO IS HE?

Nova

The sun paints the white walls an orange. I should have finished my painting. Today was the only day I had until it's due date. The gallery is having an opening night at the museum on Sunday. This means I have to do an all-nighter. Today is Thursday and I have a full shift tomorrow at the Café.
I take my easel and set it up infront of the wall window. Jess will be home at eight. Her appartment is small but very clean and aesthetic. Her spare room, that I am living in has white walls and a big glass window. All my things fit the aesthetics of her apartment. I drift off into my own world as I paint the leaves of the river tree.

It's near eight so I clean my space and set off to the living room. Jess is so creative. She has a white couch and a green and beige checkered carpet to compliment the green plants and her anime art. There's a book shelf next to the couch reating a little reading area and a coffee table infront of the couch. The dining area and the kitchen is all connected to the living room. Jess's kitchen is a bit of a mess. It's the last project she has to work on to make her home even more lovely.

I take two cups from the sink and rinse them out. As I pour the coffee into the cup, I hear a stumble by the front door. Just as I turn around I can see Jess and her boyfriend, Jake, making out half naked. I cover my eyes with my hands.
"Oh gosh sorry! I'll be gone. To my room if you want me!" I shout in pure panic. I stride to my room and shut the door.
"Sorry Nova! I forgot you were living here with my girl!" I hear Jake shout. I turn on my speaker and play my playlist from spotify.

Stupid me forgot the coffee in the kitchen. No way I'm going back out there. I might just see two naked people having it on the couch...

I open my laptop and type in the password. I open the mail to find a new one marked important. Shivers go down my spine when I read: He knows.
I close my eyes and lay back into my pillows. He knows.
What does he know and who is he? The email came from someone anonymous. I will have to go by a tech tomorrow to figure out who sent this. If he is who I think it is, then I'm in BIG trouble...
