I can't wait for Kevin to get home.

I made him his favourite food and all I want is to tell him the good news. I know that he'll be so proud of me. 

I'm dancing around the kitchen to Pitbul. He is such a  great artist, hi raps are the best. I've made potroast and now I need a quick shower then wait for him. Maybe today we can have some fun in bed. It's been so long and he has been so busy, always coming home tired from work. 

I remove the pot from the stove and run to the shower. I lather myself in my vanilla scented body wash and do a quick wash for my hair. I rinse myself off and go to get dressed. I think today I'll wear the pair of lingerie that he likes so much over that I'll just wear the cute sundress I bought yesterday. It's around five o'clock now and he said he'd be home by half past five so I have a bit of time to fix up the table. 

I sit around the table and wait for him to come home. I scroll through my phone as I wait for him and I don't even realize that an hour and half has past and he isn't home yet. At this point I'm starting to worry. He didn't tell me that he would be held up. Just as I'm about to call him, a panting and fazed Kevin walks into the room. 

He rushes to our room and I run after him. I find him packing up my clothes. What in the world is going on?

"Hey babe, what's going on?" I ask a bit panicked. 

"You need to leave," he rushes out. He keeps on moving around the room putting my things away.

"What! Why? You can't throw me out of my own house!"

He turn to look at me like I grew a second head. I walks over to me and holds me by the shoulders firmly. 

"Who said I'm kicking you out. I'm trying to protect you. They are coming for you and you need to run and hide before they catch you," he says hurshly.

He goes back to putting my things away. 

"Who is coming for me?"

He didn't answer. He took a few of his things and went a head to but my bags by the door. He came back to my room and pulled me by the arm towards the door. He stopped for a moment when he saw the table. He then looked at me with a weird look on his face.

"Look you have to go, I'm coming with you but we have to leave now."

"Why are we leaving? Who is coming for me and where are we even going to go?"

"Scarlet stop with the questions. Don't you trust me?"

"Well of course I do."

"Then let us go."

He pulled me out of the door and told me to head to the car and that he was following me. He gave me the keys to start the car while he locked the door. I run down and out the building heading towards the parking lot. I started to slow down trying to think if any of these made any sense.

By the time I reached the car I was walking at a very slow pace. I don't need to be running. Unless I know who was coming for me then there's no need to be running away. I was never one to run from situations without knowing what it was I was running away from. Just as I was looking back to see where Kevin was, I was met with the blinding lights of police cars and the loud ringing and the chaos that followed them. I saw armed police officers running towards me. 

"Stop! Put your hands where I can see them and step away from the car," one of them shouted. 

I was scared stiff. The blinding lights, the shouting, the police officers that were screaming for me too get on my knees. I couldn't comprehend what was going on. The world seemed to slow down. Why were the police after me?
