I wake up with a gigantic throbbing headache. I sit up and realize that I'm in the living room of my apartment. I rub my temples as I stand up. I need some water. I head to the kitchen only to see Julia.
"Good morning." She says and I groan in response. I could only remember about half of what happened last night. She hands me a glass of water and two Advil as if she was expecting me.
"Thanks?" I say and she just nods and she sips on what looks like coffee. I scratch my hair and I sit down at the small table I have and threw the pills to the back of my throat before drinking the water, it's exactly what I needed.
"Who was that guy you were dancing with last night?" She asked a smirk crawling onto her lips.
"What guy?" I set the glass down on the table and look at her.
"You know the cute one with green eyes?"
My heart started pounding. I didn't say anything.
Julia frowned at me and set her cup in the sink.
"I've got to go call me if you need anything ok?" I nodded she walked over to me and kissed my forehead.
"Bye." She says
"Adios." I reply
I walked her out and then closed and locked it before proceeding to my couch. I turned on the tv and started flicking through the channels, but nothing could get my mind off of who I could have possibly been with last night if it wasn't Liam. Maybe I had been imagining things all last night. My phone vibrated on the coffee table and it was a message from an unknown number.
"Hello."
"Hi, who is this?" I ask
"You danced with me last night."
My heart started to pound again as I began biting at my fingernails.
"Are you Liam?"
I had to ask, maybe Julia thought she saw someone else.
"No."
Shit.
"Tyler?"
"No, think Melanie."
Fuck he knows my name.
"Do I know you?"
"No."
Well how the hell am I supposed to figure out who he is if I don't even know him?
"Have I seen you before?"
"Yes."
I sat there a few seconds trying to think of where I may have seen the guy, where I've seen green eyes. My phone vibrated again.
"You danced so well last night baby, I want to do that again. I want to feel your body against mine."
Ok that's it this shit is getting too creepy
I reached for my house phone when I got another text.
"I wouldn't do that love."
I stared straight at my phone in fear as he was still typing. How did he know that I was going to call?
"Look to your left love."
I was petrified as I slowly turned my head to my left. My body was shaking and I couldn't breath. My coat closet door was slightly cracked open. As I stared at it, it slowly began to open. Tears strolled down my cheeks as I watched. I couldn't move.
A man stepped out, wearing the same dark green jacket that I saw at the movie theater and the bookstore, his hair long and curly.
His eyes.
He has green eyes.
"It's good to see you again Melanie. So so good."
He had a gun in his hand.
