One Wrong Knock

First Knock

The smell of the popcorn and cheese filled my apartment as I put down my newly bought CD on the center table. I cant wait to sit in my favorite couch and lay as much as I want to. Tonight is the perfect time to pamper myself from such stress and anxieties I got from work.

I took the popcorn out from the microwave and hurriedly made my way to the living room, where my precious television awaits. Potato Couch ALERT!

As soon as I pressed the play button on my remote control, a single knock was heard from my front door. This was weird, I didn't really have visitors this time now, it's past 10 already. It took me a minute to stand from my seat.

"Baaaaabe! Open me up!" The person outside my door shouted. What the hell? Who's babe? As far as I know, I had not had boyfriend for the last 2 years, and suddenly, some God-knows-who from the outside just called me babe ? Are you kidding me?

I even had more doubt to open the door because frighten overruled my senses. Maybe it was a prank, or maybe it was the creep person who distracted me a lot when I had my lunch in a restobar - right! It was him! Holy cow! how did he know my address? Oh my god! It's a psycho! I should call the 911- no wait, 911 can be really slow sometimes. What should I do?-

"Babe, I'm home! Why aren't you opening the door? I miss you so much.. "

Oh goodness, now I even got more goose bumps! shit.

I tiptoed quietly into the front door carrying my brother's baseball bat which I found just beside my flower vase. Thank God.
With my teeth chattering, I decided to place my ear on the door, and once more, the person outside just banged my hatch really loud that I literally jumped on where I stood.

"Aaaahh!!!". I unintendedly screamed.

"Baby? Is that you? Why aren't you opening me up?" the creep sounded really worried. Gross!

"Who the freak are you?!" I finally shouted, really embarrassed.

"WHAT??!" He sounded really surprised. Surprise my ass!

"Get your ass out of here creep! I'll call the 911!" I heavily demanded, my voice almost shaking.

"What are you talking about? Babe?- No! you are not my babe! you are not Roxanne! Where is she?! Open this goddamn door now!" He reprimanded.

How could he sound reprimanding when in fact I'm the pitiful here. And wait? Who's that son-of-a-gun Roxanne, this guy is talking about?

"Who the hell is Roxanne?! No Roxanne is living here you creep!" I responded, wiping my eyes with the almost falling tears.

"Hey watch your mouth! And what? No Roxanne? You have got to be kidding me. Just open this door mad woman!" He shouted, embarrassed. Well, if he's embarrassed, I'm embarrassed too! even more so!

I supposed, I was left no choice. So with my lower lip quivering, I put down the bat, slowly opened the door, and there, revealed a tall, muscular and a brunette-headed man in his mid-twenties, carrying a bouquet of lovely pink roses and a paper bag awwww. I was out of my presence for awhile, seeing the things he was carrying and leisurely gazed from his foot to his head.

"Now there you are! Tell me, where's Roxanne? where's my babe?" He raised his tone and arched his bold brows. He pointed a finger on me as if I was little kid.

" I beg your stupid pardon mister! but no Roxanne is living here! " my heart was pounding that I can almost hear them, but I managed to support myself while not acting the obvious.

"You must be lost! Now get your feet out of my rag!" I shouted, I had no other choice.

" This ain't be true, but she said it's in this floor, room direction and room." He said, now with confusion.

"Then your girl must be the one who's mistaken. I'm sorry to tell you that your efforts of shouting and banging my hatch was failed. So better find another and the right door next time. Now go! shoo! shoo!" I commanded, gesturing him to go away.

"You look helpless. Tsk." He suddenly smirked.

"What did you just say?" I widened my eyes and twitched my lips, placing my both hands in my hips.

"I said you look helpless."

"And how so? Huh?" I raised my left brow. "Look at you..." He turned his eyes into me, head to foot. Ugh.

"You look terrible, and were you crying? Hah! You were scared of me, weren't you?" He sarcastically chuckled.

"How dare you invade on how I look tonight! Duh! And yeah, I thought you were the creepy serial-killer!" I felt really ashamed.

" How could you impute such thing on me mad woman."

" Stop calling me mad woman! and how could you even tell me that I look terrible huh creep! tsss!" I hissed.

"Ahah! Mad woman!" He bit and twitched his lips. Don't do that again mister! "Hah you creep!" I crumpled my fists.

Our strong and immature argument still continued, until we heard a ring from the elevator, indicating that someone is coming outside. We decided to cease.

"Oh my god Lucas is that you? Babe! I missed you!" A woman, with a very huge smile and teeth went out from the elevator, suddenly said. She rushed immediately to our direction, and the man in front of me flashed a wide smile, and turned himself to the woman who was calling. " Oh goodness! Roxanne! Babe! Oh baby I really missed you!" The Lucas man cried. What the major hell?

And in an instant, the two kissed each other like there was no tomorrow -or more like eating each others' mouths - in front of me, with my two visible lovely eyes! Oh no, my poor, innocent eyes!

"Get a room!" I rolled my eyes, I could no longer take the view, it was too gross to handle.

The woman stopped and looked at me from head to foot.

"Why don't you just go inside your fucking room lady and go back to sleep." she rudely said.

Like whaaaaat? Yeah I should really go back inside, but it seemed like my feet was glued up to where I was standing. I didn't make a word.

She turned back to Lucas, " and babe, what are you doing outside someone else's door by the way?" she nuzzled his neck. Can you not do that woman?

"I thought this was your apartment babe " he softly said looking through her eyes.

"Oh no no, my apartment is just beside that child's apartment babe, you're mistaken." she pointed at me, and laughed.

" Excuse me, I am no child. I am the ever beautiful Kathlena." I wrapped my arms and distorted her. But in lieu, she just laughed. Whatever.

You piece of a dirty, over made up faced woman! Whose child are you talking to huh? Besides, you look obviously old though! I felt bad for Lucas. Tsk Tsk.

Speaking of Lucas, he took the bouquet of pink roses and the paper bag and handed them to the woman.

"Are these for me? aaaaww Thank you babe!" the old-faced woman fakingly cried and they made up once more. Nothing is forever A-holes!

" Let's go inside the apartment babe and check out our hot new room" she grossly giggled and took Lucas' hand, and made way.

" Im really sorry for the wrong knock and invading you a while ago." He set-forth his words quickly and passed on me.

I went inside and leaned my body against the door, my heart still loudly pounding . I unconsciously sat on the floor while trying to perceive and digest the unexpected series of events happened tonight...

And from that moment I knew, my life will never be the same again.
