Between the Dead

Chp.7 Suspicious

Music is the best vibe. Be it sad, motivating, happy or whatsoever. A person in love, finds romantic ones the best. Same goes with Natalie, who is busy in the land of music and imagination.

Natalie was making bed for herself while having headphones plugged in. It was nearly midnight and Natalie was tired. She was so lost in the music, that she never realized when the door opened and closed behind the person who intruded silently.

All of sudden, when the person encircled his arms round Natalie's waist, did she realize the other's presence. "Oh my- Fuck! " She exclaimed loudly, being caught off guard. "Are you insane, Jullian? Creeping in like a damn rat." She scolded, removing her headset and placing it on the table near the bed.

Jullian stood still and his arms around Natalie and Natalie was still standing the same, her back facing Jullian. "Sorry! But you do realize I have no option other than Creeping in?" He asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, yeah of course." Natalie rolled her eyes thinking of the reason of keeping their relationship a secret. "Anyways, Why are we here?" Natalie asked, turning around as Jullian's grip lossened a bit, not entirely letting go off her. They were now standing chest to chest.

"Can't I just visit my girlfriend to just have a look at her." Jullian asked. Natalie scoffed. She was clearly pissed. "What do you want, Jullian?" She asked, more firmly.

Jullian let go of her and asked, "Are you mad at me?" His eyes changed from romantic ones to concerning ones. Nowadays, it is indeed a habit to see Natalie pissed, but something was different. Jullian could tell.

"No." She said, walking back towards the bed. "Then what is it, liebe?" He asked, walking after Natalie. As Natalie lied down on the bed, Jullian simply made himself comfortable in a sitting position by the end of the bed.

"It's just... The Russians. They are a fucking headache. And fuck the mafia rivalry, family drama is on a whole different level. That bitch sent another bunch of warning letters." Natalie sighed, thinking of the first person who came to her mind, when she thought of that "bitch".

"Isn't that a routine now? What's there to tense so much about?" Jullian asked, he could partially see the thing in Natalie's eyes which were fixed at litteral nowhere. "You Don't get it. Manipulation is really effective. I'm sure Russians got that bitch pretty well. No wonder the appearances of Russians has become frequent. And even if it is a routine, her threats are increasing, don't you realize?"

"Natalie, I'll be honest. I'm understanding nothing, not a single word you are saying. What do you mean? Family drama, Manipulation? Threats? What is all this?" Jullian asked confused. Not a word coming out of Natalie's mouth made any logic.

"Leave it. It's nothing. Are you gonna stay?" Natalie switched the topics. "I was planning to but then don't your friends come over any fucking time?" Jullian scoffed.

He always hated it cause the couple couldn't be free even in a damn room. There were always intruders. The intruders, specifically Denisse and Arianna are the main reason why the relationship is a secret.

"I Don't know. If they come we can handle it. Humm?" Natalie looked at him with hopeful eyes. Such a sight, Natalie acting cute, is seen once in a blue moon. Who even would resist. "Okay fine!" Jullian nodded and rolled over the bed, closing over to Natalie.

Natalie loved cuddles. That's how she likes it so Jullian is comfortable too. His hands wrapped around Natalie's waist as he pecked her forehead and cuddled.

It wasn't even a minute, when door knocks were heard. The weird rhythm already revealed the person. "Ughh!!!" Jullian slapped his forehead. "I knew it. I fucking knew it. This is so unfair." Jullian whisper screamt. He was so frustrated. He got up along with Natalie and straightened his posture.
