Marvin returns back. He just couldn't resist the steak. "I'm sorry for bringing that up!" she said batting her green eyes apologetically.
"It's okay!"he said with a smile. Typical, this loser would do anything for love,she said to herself staring at him wickedly.
Tania tried to hold back her laughter. He's fucking enjoying that old fart, she'd really need to get more. A weird appetite,an appetite she had long learnt to control to hide her true nature. For if she hadn't ,her horrifying secret might be revealed.
That afternoon, Helen couldn't rest. She was expecting his calls and texts but none came not even a beep call. She was starting to hope for the worse possible things that could happen. She began sobbing again. The persistent knocking on the door made her look up. She wiped her face with a finger and rushed to see who it was. Through the peephole, she saw it was Travis Conrad,her upstairs neighbor.
"Helen, you home?
Just stopping by to see how you're doing!". She forced a smile. Travis did cares about her but he wasn't Marvin.
"Oh, thanks Travis.."She sniffed..."I'm okay!".
"I heard about what happened. Thought you might need a friend!"Helen's eyes began to water. What has she done to deserve a neighbor like him?
"One minute!"she said, and rushed to get the keys.
She sluggishly opened it,her hands sweaty from worrying too much. Travis was two years younger than Helen but he was taller. Seeing her,he gave her a hug. "I'm sorry, Helen. You deserve so much better than that...that ..." Helen placed a finger on his lips shooing him, and shook her head. "Don't tell me you still love him even after what he did!". Helen forced a smile. "He might be a jerk but he's my jerk and yes,I still love him!". Travis sighed,but smiled back at her. "You're just too nice, Helen. He's a lucky guy!". He pecked her on the cheeks, caressed her blonde hair gently and left.
She watched him leave and waved at him. She hurriedly shut the door,and laid back on the door. She broke down in tears.
"Where are you, Marvin?!" She said in a low voice.
