You Can't Love Him

26

"You know, we really need to find something new to do. We always watch movies." I laugh.

Noah and I had just got back from town. We had went out to do some shopping he needed to get done and we went to get ice cream. So it kind of counts as a date. Though any time I spend with him feels like a date.

"That's true but we never watch movies in the movie room. Let's watch them down there." Noah suggests as he goes thorough my large collection of movies.

"Fine you go start the movie. I'll be down in a second. I'm going to make some snacks." Noah nods in agreement and heads down to the movie room. I head to the kitchen to make the snacks.

I made some popcorn and got some chips and candy we had in the pantry. On my way down my phone start to ring.

CALLER ID:
*unknown*

Huh? I never get calls from unknown numbers. I quickly answer it, thinking it may be my dad's work.

"Hello," The line is quiet for a moment before I heard shuffling in the background.

"Tell your boy to watch out. He owes me." A deep, raspy Australian accent fills my ears. This must be the same person who texted me before.

"Who is this? I think you have the wrong number." I grab the popcorn out of the microwave.

"I don't think I do Ms. Emmie." I can tell the person on the other end of the line is smirking. I felt a shiver run through me. Who is this? What do they want with me?

"Who is this," I ask again.

"Wouldn't you like to know," the man chuckles," just tell Noah he still owes me. Goodbye Emmie." The mystery man says before hanging up.

I felt sick to my stomach. Who was that, and how did they know my name? I didn't feel safe all of the sudden so I quickly walk down to the movie room.

I walk in, Noah was sitting on the couch, looking through his phone. I place the snacks down on the coffee table and sit next to him.

"What movie did you pick," I ask trying to get my mind off of the phone call earlier. I don't want to bring it up and have Noah leave again.

"A walk to remember. It's one of your favorites right?" He asks. I nod. For a minute he stops and stares at me.

"Are you feeling okay,"He puts his hand on my forehead.

"Yes, why?"

"You just look really pale." He frowns.

"No I'm fine. No let's watch the movie." I say, pressing play on the remote. I pull him closer to me. Instantly he wraps his arms around me.

In the middle of the movie I heard my phone go off. I quickly check it. I look to see if Noah notices but he just keeps looking at the screen.

Oh you looked good the other day. That dress looks beautiful on you. Can't wait for the wedding ;)

The messages kept coming in and I started to get worried. He was watching me. It couldn't have been Nick because he doesn't have an accent. I looked around the room because I was paranoid. Was he watching us now? All of the sudden I felt my phone being snatched out of my hand.
