"I'll be there in a second." I whisper to no one. My phone kept going off every few minutes. It would ring, go quite and then ring again.
I can't answer it because I'm currently arm deep in a chicken. I was practicing my cooking for the first time in forever and what do I get? A phone call I couldn't answer, the ringing was driving me mad. 

I quickly washed my hands in the sink, not that it mattered, the phone still would've been ringing.

I took a peek at the number before answering, I didn't recognize the number. "Hello?" I answered with slight hesitation obvious in my voice. 

"What took so long?" The voice was deep and rough sounding. 

"What?" 

"What took you so long to answer?" He demands louder this time. 

"I was cooking and didn't have a free hand. Um, who is this?" I tried to answer in a calm voice, but it came out shaky. 

"No one." He answers in a much calmer voice.

"Oh? Does this no one have a name?" I ask sweetly, trying to be friendly. I hear the person chuckle.

"I don't know you tell me." He asks seductively. I swallow nervously.

"You want me to guess your name? I can try too, but I'm not good with names." I honestly forgot names more often than I remembered them. 

"Give it your best shot lets make this a game, yes?" I hear a bit of an accent. I think French?

"What kind of game?" I ask quickly.

"If you guess my name correctly...I'll reveal myself." he says with slight hesitation 

"And if I don't get it right it?"

"You owe me one favor, whatever I want." I think for a moment. It can't hurt to play for just a bit. I could just hang up later if I needed too.

"Sure! Let's play "no one." I say laughing at the silly nickname I gave him. 

"Alright, I'll even give you a few hints," 

"Okay...is it Alain? Or maybe Gabriel?"

" No that's not right."  

"Oh um, what about Colby?" I walk over to a chair and lean back trying to get comfortable. 

"No...but you shouldn't lean back like that...you might fall and get hurt." 
I immediately stop and freeze.

"What's wrong, Angelica?" The voice was now softer and almost cautious, like he was waiting for my reaction. 

"How do you know my name?" My voice was just above a whisper. 

"I know more than just your name, Doll," he lightly chuckles.

"How? Who are you?" I was now on the verge of tears but tried to keep my voice steady and relaxed. 

"deviner" 

"Is that your name?" 

"No, it means guess." I heard him chuckle again. 

"Are you watching me?" I decide to just ask him. It was better than beating around the bush.
