I hear drawers open and continuous swearing. My eyes flatter open to see Adrian with his wet hair getting dressed. He's wearing a navy blue suite, which looks way too good on him. He frustratedly brushes his hair in a hurry.

"Good morning." I smile.

"Oh, shit. I was trying not to wakenyou up, sorry."

"It's okay. Where are you going?"

"Work, don't you also have to go?"

"No, I have an off day for working Saturday. Do you really have to go?" I whine.

"Yes, Sofia. I don't want to, but I have to." He sighs.

"What time do you come back?"

"Four."

"But that's so far away! What will I be doing til then?" I say and he smiles at my statement.

"You can think about me."

I grab and his hands and he just smiles and perk on the lips before heading out.

"I'll miss you." He shouts.

"Traitor!" I yell.

The last thing I hear is a chuckle, then the door closes shut. I'm alone now. I stare up at the ceiling thinking of what to do. I could get up and shower then change. God, his house is a mess. I could clean it, I love cleaning. It helps me relax.

I quickly get up and head for his shower. This man has a lot more hair products than I do. And I'm going to try each and every one. I run some hot water in his tub and start looking at all of his hair products. When the water is ready, I slide into the tub and spend about an hour in there. I change into the tiny shorts and one of his shirts. I put his hoodie on the bed, I plan on going to my house with it and he's never going to see it ever again. I put my keys on hoodie.

I start to clean up his room and bathroom. In no time, I'm done. I head to the lounge and start to vacuum and start to get round with it. I go to the kitchen and find something to make myself because I'm fucking starving. I go to the fridge to see leftover pizzas in their boxes and milk.

How can this be the only thing in his fridge?!

This is hopeless. I clear out his fridge and then go to my phone to just order something from the café then have it come here. There are a lot of texts and calls from James. I don't want to look at the. So I just delete everything, he must've told everyone his version of a fucked up story where I'm missing because everyone is texting me. Still not interested.

"Good morning, is this the La Café?"

"Yes, ma'am. I'm Tessa, how could I help you today?"

"Oh, I wanted to order but I wasn't sure if you guys deliver?"

"You're in luck. We just opened up that recourse."

"Great, could I get a expresso and a box of those deli doughnuts of yours?"

"Right, could I please have your address."

"Umm, 73 Deparadise Street."

"Right, that will be thirteen dollars. We'll have the delivery man come to you, he'll be there in the most ten minutes."

"Thank you."

Right, so now I just have to wait. Adrian is selfish for not telling me that there was nothing in his kitchen to eat. The pantry just has coffee, that's all! Does he even eat or does he sleep and wake up on frozen pizzas everyday. That's so unhealthy. I should attack him about that when he comes back.

There's a knock on the door interrupting my thoughts. Must be the coffee and doughnuts. I'm so excited, I was literally starving. I see a man in fawn clothing including a cap. He has a plastic with the La Café brand stuck to it. He smiles.

"Hi, is this an order for Miss. Sofia."

"Yes, that's me. Here you go." I say handing him the money.

"Thank you so much, you just saved me from starvation." I smile and he chuckles.

"I must be superman, have a good one." He says before leaving.

I love that café, the customer service and care is perfect. How did about it?! It's definitely my new favorite place. I'll be there everyday. I begin to eat into the delightful doughnut. And the expresso is more than perfect. Is this what heaven tastes like? How have I never gotten a taste of it?! I moan in delight.

I just got a glimpse of heaven.

With everything going on, the door violently just flies open. Is Adrian already back? I look closer and that's when I see it.

"James." I say in horror, I move back into the sofa when I see he's holding a knife.

"Where's Adrian." He smirks.

"He's not here. What're you doing with that knife?" I calmly say.

"Baby, let's go. Let's run away, Adrian doesn't have to hurt you anymore." He says touching my hand.

"Don't call me that and don't you fucking touch me!" I say violently taking my hand back.

"Sofia, what's wrong? Did Adrian do something? Why are you wearing his shirt?!"

"Get away from, you psycho!"

He flinches when I say psycho.

"Don't fucking call me that! You're testing my patience. Now answer my question, is Adrian here or not?!" He says gripping onto my throat.

"You're crazy. You need help." I say.

"Fine, then I'm just going to hurt you instead. It'd hurt Adrian. I'll kill you, then myself. So we can be in love and no one will stop it." He says.

He cuts a bit pn my hand while he swings his knife talking.

"Ow!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to. Trust me, I'll make your death painless." He says.

While he's talking and looking at my hand, he loosens his grip. I reach for my pocket and my pepper spray.

"Really? But this is!" I say spraying it into his eyes.

He let's go holding onto my eye. Swearing, yelling and screaming. I take this opportunity and run upstairs to Adrian's room. I grap my phone on the table and lock the door in Adrian's room. I quickly go to his shoe closet and grab a pair of his trainers. I quickly wear the hoodie on the bed and grab my car keys and phone.

James is now banging on the door, yelling and screaming to let him in. I go to his balcony and slide off. It's not far so I make it unharmed. I rush to my car and I see James starring at me from the balcony. I get in my car and lock everything. I race down the road and the last thing I hear is,

"I love you, Sofia. You will too."

I quickly call Adrian but he doesn't respond. I have to get to his workplace, he can't get back home. James will kill him.
