Chapter 10: Share The Night With Me

This chapter is going to be shorter since I did a lot today and don't feel like writing a ton but still wanted to write something.

-

Thankfully, I arrived home without some creep doing anything to me but, that feeling of being watched and not knowing who it is, if it is anyone, was still heavy on my brain.

Maybe I'm just paranoid or going crazy but I swear I was being watched.

I get changed into PJ's and wipe off my light makeup before going to the kitchen. I take a look around it and there is nothing. Well there is something but it's not what I'm in the mood for. Might as well order pizza. It's fast and so fucking delicious considering I live in NY around the best pizza places ever.

Once I order my pizza, I go to take a seat on my couch. I check my phone for any alerts of any kind before turning on my tv. My apartment is quiet besides from the humming piece of tech in front of me.

I feel weird still though. I mean I'm home and away from a possible stalker but I still feel paranoid. I don't want to be alone right now. I can't be alone right now. I need someone to ease this eerie feeling.

I need Jd.

I feel bad calling him. I mean we just left the office a bit ago and I'm sure he is enjoying his time at home where he can relax but he said multiple times to me that if I needed anything that I could call so, here goes nothing.

"Hello?"

"Hi."

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah...Uhm could you just come over for the night please? If that's okay of course I don't want to interu-

"Ill be over as soon as I can."

And with that he hung up. Okay, good thing I didn't seem to interfere with anything. Now, time to play the waiting game, paranoia addition.

The pizza showed up before Jd and I ate a couple pieces while I watched some random FoodNetwork show.

After about three slices of pizza had been devoured I heard what would be the second knock of the night. And this time it was Jd.

I immediately give him a tight squeeze which he gives back before kissing my head. I pull back with a smile and walk a bit more into my apartment to let him in.

"Thank you so much for coming. I ordered pizza and it arrived not so long ago so if y'a want any. It's on the coffee table in the living room since I was watching a show."

"Mmm sounds great. I haven't had dinner yet so I'll definitely have some."

He takes off his boots and sets them by my door before making his way over to my living room. We take a seat on the couch and he grabs a slice.

"So, before you get too worried, I'm okay. I'm fine, nothing happened I just have a weird feeling. I was leaving work and I felt like someone was watching me. I swear there was another presence but there was no one around! I feel like I'm going crazy and I still feel uneasy so that's why I called."

He eats his slice listening contently but with obvious concern written all over his eyes and brows.

"It might just be all in my head....it just was strange.."

He sets down the remainder of his slice on the cardboard box it came in before speaking.

"Are you sure there was no one in sight? There are some real creeps out there Ronica."

"Yeah I know and I swear to you I looked...there was just no one I could see. I'm not crazy right?"

"What? No, your not crazy at all. People feel paranoid all the time and we live in NY where there can be weird people."

He holds out his arms and I willingly fall into them as he hugs me.

"No one is going to hurt you and if you ever feel like your being watched again you tell me. We'll figure out who's doing this if anyone is okay?"

I nod a bit and I stay a little longer in his embrace soaking in the warmth and utter feeling of ease he provides me. His hand rubs up and down my back and I never want to leave this moment but we can't stay like this all night especially when there is delicious pizza that needs eaten so I pull away.

"Thank you."

"It's no problem at all darling."

I smile and place a kiss on his cheek.

"Now, let's finish this pizza! Oh and I hope you don't mind FoodNetwork cause that's our feature presentation."

"I don't mind it at all if you enjoy it. Hey, do you think I could pull off the Guy Fieri frosted tips?"

He lets out a goofy laugh at his own joke.

"Hmm im not sure you got what it takes."

We both let out a laugh before finishing up the box of pizza contently.

The night ends with us curled up together on the couch, the stars in the sky gleaming on our dark silhouettes as we share a kiss and fall into slumber.
