Chapter 14

The next day Aria went down stairs to grab some lunch, when she finished her order and grabbed her Chicken salad sandwich at Tim Horton, she sat down in couch-table and started to eat. A few minutes after she took her first bit she felt like she was being watch, she turned around to check and she saw an old Spanish man that she had seen at the Tim Horton were they live. He stared at her with a wide smile on his face and as they made eye contact, he got up from his table and walked toward her.

As he walked towards her, Aria got ready to move but the old Spanish man blocked her exit as he sat beside her.

"Um excuse me but I need to get out." Aria said.

"Is this seat taken?" The old Spanish man asked as he ignored Aria.

"Yes. This seat is taken but if you move out so I could pass through then it won't."

"You look familiar, have we met... Oh I remember now, you're friends with that beautiful young lady with the blue hair."

As the Spanish man spoke, it gave Aria the chills. "I need to get out of here, it's not safe and he just spoke about Nina" she thought. "Excuse me but if you don't move I will scream and call security."

The Spanish man grabbed her arm tightly and pulled her down to sit. "If you scream and call security than something will happen to Nina... Now just sit down so we could talk nicely."

"What... Hell no" Aria rises her voice.

The guy hand gripped harder on Aria left arm before he spoke again "You keep your mouth shut and sit down now."

Aria felt frighten as she saw his eyes, something in her gut told her to listen to him. So she did, she sat down and kept quiet. "There you go. Be a good girl... You know you are also beautiful like Nina. It's such a great thing to watch you and your friend every time you're at Tim Horton," he said as he moved a strain of her reddish-brown hair away from her face.

Aria moved closer to the wall as he moved to touch her face. "So what are you doing here?" Aria asked as she ignored his comment.

"Oh I came to visit Nina. I haven't seen both of you in a while so I went to look around and found out that she's here... My poor Nina... She's in a coma."

Aria felt another chill down her back as he spoke, "Shit he know about Nina... What is this guy, a stalker? I really need to get out of here," she thought as her phone rang, she looked at it and it was River.

"Thank God, River you're a life saver." She thought as she answered.

"Hey River, are you here yet?" Aria asked.

"Hey Aria. Yeah, I'm here. I was just going up but I was going to call to ask if you want me to pick you up something."

"Oh great, I'm at the cafe come here and we could go up together."

"Ok, I'm coming."

"Ok... See you then," she said as she hung up.

While Aria was on the phone she thought she felt the Spanish man moved but when she turn around she saw him with a wide smirk on his face.

"Well you better leave now because my boyfriend is coming here..."

The man started to laugh and said, "Oh he's not your boyfriend. I know who you boyfriend is. Don't worry this is not the last time we will meet. Maybe next time, we will do what Nina and I did. It was fun and she liked it."

He walked away from the table as River came into the cafe; River looked around and walked toward Aria when he found her. River sat down in front of Aria. "Hello Aria... What wrong? You look like you just saw a ghost." He said while he placed his hand on top of hers.

As soon as Aria felt a hand on hers she moved it away quickly and looked up. "Oh River it's you... Thank god."

"Aria seriously what's wrong?" River asked with a worried tone.

"Umm... Well, have you seen that guy before? The Spanish guy on your far right," she asked.

River turned around to see who the guy was, when he turned back Aria saw River turned red and he looked pissed off. "Yeah I know who that f* cken guy is, he always stares at Nina when she at Tim Horton ... Why? What did he do now?"

"Oh so you knew about that... Well he knows a lot about us... It's just creepy he was calling me and Nina beautiful... He knows our names. When did you notice him?"

"Shit that's creepy... I didn't notice until Nina told me, I wanted to do something but I promise Nina that I wouldn't. What the hell is he doing here?"

"That's the thing, this is the creepy part, he told me that since he hasn't seen us for a long time, he'd looked around and found Nina here. He knows that Nina is here. River I'm really scared... And I don't know what happen between the two of them but he told me something very shocking. He said that maybe next we meet we could do what he did to Nina."

"WHATTTTTTTT " He hissed.

River got up and walked angrily towards the Spanish man. Aria followed him as she got closer to the guy she saw the wide smirk on his face again.

"What the hell do you want?" River hissed.

"Excuse me... I should be asking you that since you came to my table."

"Why the hell are you following us? What the hell did you do to my girlfriend?"

"I don't know what you are talking about? I came here to visit a friend and it's a free county. I could go anywhere I please... By the way she not your girlfriend."

"My ass you don't know what I'm talking about, you just prove it." He said as his fist tightens together.

"I really don't know what you're talking about and you should stop swearing. Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elderlies," He said with a smirk.

"Why you..." River said as he brought his fist higher.

"Stop it, River. Let's go. He's not worth it," Aria said as she grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

Aria looked around as she noticed people stared at them and saw Dr. Paige.

"River, Aria is there anything wrong?" Dr. Paige asked.

"Nope. Everything is fine. We were just leaving." Aria said as she dragged River towards the door.

Aria and River was out of the cafe when Dr. Paige arrived. "Aria, is something wrong?" Dr. Paige asked again.

Aria looked at River before she spoke, "Actually yes, there is a problem. That man inside has been stalking us and I'm afraid that he had done something to Nina."

"Is this true River?"

"Yeah"

"This is serious matter... Let's go to my office."

All three of them went to Dr. Paige's office and discuss the matter, Aria repeated the story to Dr. Paige and she called security to escort the man out. Two hours after the security inform Dr. Paige that he had left after all three of them went into Dr. Paige's office. Dr. Paige alerted the security that he's not allowed on Nina's floor, including her room. She also told them that she will alert the police but that's all she could do because they don't have enough evidence to go on since Nina is in a coma. She also told them to inform her when he confronts them in the hallway. Since there was nothing else they could do, they left the office and went to Nina room.
