Unknown:
Are you working tonight?

I blink at the notification that appears on my screen, becoming increasingly irritated the longer I stare at it. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who the culprit is.

Why in the world is he texting me? No 'hi' or 'hello' or 'how are you?'

Me:
well, good evening to you too...

Just as my thumb presses the send button, it suddenly hits me, like a splash of ice-cold water to the face: I never gave Matias my number. So how in the ever-loving fuck is he messaging me?

The realisation sends me zoning out into a corner of my room and my mouth popping open like a dummy. Oh God. I vividly recall rushing out of his car the moment he asked for it, but could I have been hallucinating?

What if this isn't him? What if it's someone else?

As much as I want to convince myself of the latter, another thought wraps around my mind. His threat from the other day replays in my mind—'I already know a lot about you. Your full name, your blood type and where you work.'

Okay... maybe now I am a little scared. Just a little. Totally not about to pee myself or anything because a potentially dangerous man might be stalking me... nope! Not at all!

Swallowing down the anxiety creeping up my throat, I blink wildly at the phone in my restless fingers, almost dropping it when the next message buzzes through.

Unknown:
Still going on that date? Just know you have 5 minutes to cancel it.

Hold on, how could he possibly know about my date?! Is he watching me?

I whisk around so fast that I almost get whiplash, frantically searching for some sort of hidden camera. No luck.

Even though I'm 100% certain the stalker in question is Matias, it doesn't hurt to double-check. My thumbs tap at thirty miles per hour as I type out another cautious response.

Me:
Uh, and who am I speaking to?

It doesn't take more than ten seconds before my phone pings again.
