Taunting the Stalker

Chapter 9- Hailey

I step out of my bathroom in some flimsy shorts and a little tank top.
I don't ever drink tea but I needed an excuse to go downstairs, maybe I'd even catch him...
I carefully walk down the steps, looking around.
I see nothing.
But I feel him. He's here.

I grin widely as I make my way over the kitchen.
I know he's hiding somewhere close by.
I can sense his eyes burning into my skin.

I hop up onto the countertop waiting for my water to heat up.
I feel like a giddy teenager whose crush just said hi to her.
Except in my case I had a large man watching me in my own home.
Better in my opinion.

I grabbed my mug of tea and rushed back upstairs, literally giggling when I made it to my room.
Okay, he's forgiven now.

After I sip my tea, I slip under a blanket and turn my lights off.
But I'm much too excited to fall asleep.
I close my eyes and curl up on my side.
And I wait.

After a while, I hear the softest creek of my bedroom door opening.
Aw, so considerate. He doesn't want to wake me...

I keep my breathing as slow and steady as I can as he approaches me.
I can smell him. I'd recognize the scent anywhere.

After another few minutes, I feel my bed dip slightly.
I've never been more awake in my fucking life and it takes everything in me to keep pretending to sleep.

I feel his hand brush the curls out away from my face, so gently.
Gentleness I wouldn't expect him to have.

His fingers trace over the features of my face, then along the skin of my exposed arm and I fucking melt.

I can't help myself but want more. I hum softly, pretending to be asleep as I wrap my arm around his wrist, pulling it closer.
I snuggle into it, loving the way his hand feels against my cheek. He's so warm. It almost lulls me to sleep before I can finish enjoying this.

I can't help but smile at the sensation, curling up into his touch.
I can feel him still completely, not even hearing his breathing for a few moments.
I caught him off guard. Hah

With him exactly where I want, I allow myself to finally drift off.
His warmth, his scent, it's like a drug that completely relaxes my body and I find no resistance to falling asleep that night.

The last thing I remember is his fingers toying with my curls before I go into a deep sleep.

•••

When I wake up the next morning, he's gone.
I pout slightly, but I expected him to.
I know he doesn't want to scare me.
It's cute

I stand up out of bed, stretching out my body from my blissful sleep last night. I look over at the bright sun flooding my room and I smile widely.
The curtains. Open.

I laugh to myself at the sight, loving how he can't stand to have his eyes off me.
I stand over by the window, giving a good show of me stretching out my body this morning.
And I can feel it.
His eyes.

I practically skip down the stairs to the kitchen as I make myself a pot of coffee.
Taking my mug, I curl up in the loveseat by my window, reading a book while I sip on my latte.

I wonder what it would be like if he was here.
Cuddled up against him in the morning, feeling his arms around me....
Perfect.

I get up eventually, making myself a big brunch. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, fruit... all of it.
It's a great morning.

I dance to some music as I cook and I know his eyes are trained on my hips.
I sit on my kitchen counter and eat when I'm finished, my gaze drifting out to the window.
I can't see him at the moment, but I know he's there.

After I'm finished, I hop off the counter, wanting to head to the gym before I work later tonight.
I slip on some leggings and a sports bra before heading out to my car.

I hope he follows me today.
I just want to see him.

Once I'm done with my warm up, I spot a large frame in the back of the gym, shielded by a big hoodie.
Very inconspicuous baby.

I smile to myself as I begin my workout, starting with squats, giving him a good view of my ass.
I can practically feel him burning holes into my skin with his eyes.
He keeps glaring at any man who looks in my direction.
Adorable. I smile to myself.

I go throughout the rest of my workout, time moving by incredibly fast.
My skin is glistening with sweat and a few curls are stuck to my damp face as I finish.

I take extra time stretching out today, wanting to give him something to think about later.
I think I'm having too much fun with this...

I get up once I'm done, hopping into my car before driving back home.
I had another idea...
I grabbed some things before heading into the shower. I knew he'd be here soon.

I rinse off, covering my body in coconut scented body wash.
Once I'm done, I do my hair up into a bun, taking a few curls out around my face.
I've noticed he likes it when I wear my hair up.

When I step out of the bathroom, but I'm not wrapped in a towel like normal.
I chose a little lacy black thong and a matching bra.
Thought he'd like this... it's similar to the pair he stole.

I smirk when I feel his eyes on me immediately.
I take my time massaging my coconut lotion into my skin, giving him a perfect view of my body.

After I've had my fun, I turn around and put on some black pants and a tank top for work.
I put on a light amount of makeup tonight, just wanting to look good for him.

I wanted to make him sweat...

I head downstairs, grabbing myself a quick snack before heading off to work.
This'll be fun.
