My Unfolding Story

1. Stranger

I fell on the floor with a loud 'thud' grabbing the spot where I got stabbed as my legs couldn't handle the weight of my shaking body. The person who did this to me tried to walk away. Immediately I grabbed his right leg with one of my hands while I held my stomach with the other where I got stabbed. I can't let him go away. I want to see his face. All I could see is his black hoodie and the black mask covering most of his face making me wonder who he is. As I held his leg, he stomped on my hand with his other leg repeatedly which made me give up!

"Lexi!Lexi!", Emma's voice shook me which made me wake up from my sleep. I gasped for air as if I swam out of the ocean. It was just a dream. But for me it wasn't. "Same dream?! Again!", Emma said. "yeah!", I said as I ran my fingers through my hair pondering over the dream. "Mm. I realized it when you became restless and I ended up waking you", said Emma. "Thank you! Anyways, I have to get ready to be at my office on time. Lemme go fresh up!", I said throwing the sheets on my bed rushing to the bathroom.

Emma shook his head looking at me and started folding the sheets and making up the bed. She would never complain about it. More or less she has become a sister to me. We met while we both were hunting for a house. We both liked this house but to pay single handedly would be a great task for us. So we decided to share it. We met as strangers then became roomies and then friends and now she has become my family.
She is doing her own business while I worked for a company.

I can keep on talking about her the whole day. Okay! Lemme now introduce myself. I am Lexi. All I want in my life is to LIVE my life to the fullest. My parents tried to convince me to stay with them but I wanted to experience everything myself independently. So I moved out. I came to the city, found a home and started working in a company. I like to click pictures of the nature, food and whatever attracts me. My IG profile is loaded with those pictures. But I never post my pictures online. I love my private life. I love my job too but I can't work on weekends even if you offer me billions of dollars. I rush to visit my parents on weekends. After a long hectic week, the time I spend with them feels so special. And I have to tell you something. I am waiting all these years to meet the love of my love. I can't deny the fact that I had puppy love but as I realized that was just an attraction for a certain period of time. I am still waiting for the right person so I am single right now *winks*. That's all for my intro. Lemme get ready quick!

I got ready for the day and I waved at Emma as I rushed to the doorstep. "Stay safe!", her words ringed in my ears as I closed the door behind me." Yeah! I will", I said and rushed to the elevator as it was already time for my bus. But I got into it on time and reached my office. At tea breaks, I would go to the cafeteria down to grab something to boost me up for the rest of the day.

As I sat down on the table with my coffee, I scrolled through my phone and my heart started beating faster as I saw a man with a black hoodie and a black mask which reminded me of my dream again. I tried to calm myself down when I realized it was just a famous celebrity's picture while he was in public. I sipped my coffee in peace without realizing that I was being watched through the glass wall by a stranger in black hoodie across the road.
