'Thomas came across as sweet' I thought to myself as I walked through my front door and made sure I locked it behind me and then put my coffee on the table in the spacious front room.
"Sorry" I said as I looked around the whole room and at nothing specific "this time is different."
I thought for a moment about how crazy I must seem talking to a house but I brushed that away and made my way upstairs to get ready for work. I wasn't planned to be in today but I could go in whenever I wanted seeing as I was going to be manager next when our leaves in a few years. I can't wait to be manager if I'm honest, less extra work.
Happily I walked up the creaking stairs and made my way in to my bedroom with a smile on my face when I completely froze. There was an ice cold breeze in my bedroom as I stared at the draw that was open. A tingling sensation went down my spine as I noticed my pink pants had been touched and moved along with all my other underwear. I knelt down and crawled over to my drawer with my eyes fully focused on them all wondering if any had been taken but I don't think they have but I was 100% possitive that they had ALL been touched and moved around. I took hold of my pink pants in shock and then suddenly my eyes fell on something else. There was something in my draw.
I paused and took a gulp before reaching into the draw and picking up what it was. It was flat but laminated. As I picked it up with my nails and pulled it towards me. My hands began to shake as I fixed my 20:20 vision on it. My mouth dropped open a little bit thinking of how it got there. The thing was a photograph of me standing by a window a few weeks ago pulling my top off as I was getting changed to go to sleep.
Immediately I dropped the photograph and ran to my window looking out to find something unusual like the red light or a flash from a camera but there was nothing.
"What do you want?" I screamed out the open window before slamming it shut and violently closing my curtains. Slowly I stepped back from the window and walked over to the wardrobe and quickly got changed in to my new work clothes.
I raced with myself down the stairs, unlocking the door and running to work.
The floor was still damp from last nights down pour but I ran as quick as I could to work so I could get somewhere I knew I was safe as I would surrounded by people, even if they don't like me.
I walked in the building in a hurry and made my way to the bathrooms without even looking at a single person in my way. I either shoulder-barged them or they happily moved out of my way for once. They must have known something was up.
Banging the door as I walked in, I scared a woman who stood in front of the mirror putting her lip gloss on. Her little jump amused me and the smile remained on my face when I rushed in to the nearest bathroom stall and slammed the door behind me and locked it. I made an 'R' shape as I pushed up against the back of the door even though I know I had locked it already. I moved back from the door and only took two steps when the toilet seat hit the back of my knees and I sat on it but wasn't comfy. I moved back on the seat and pulled my legs up and wrapped my arms around them.
I began to rock back and forth.
________________________________________________________________________________
I must have stayed in there for about 3 hours just cuddling myself while rocking back forth.
I heard a few woman walk in and out as I remained in the toilet stall wanting to break down crying but I was strong and could easy fight the tears back. I was good at fighting my emotions when I wanted and needed to.
Finally I walked out of the bathroom and up the stairs to the third floor of offices and although I got some funny looks off the people in there I decided to ignore them because they wouldn't understand, and they always gave me funny looks anyway. I doubt anyone would understand, they would all just think I'm crazy or lying. I made my way to the manager who was over the other end of the huge room, chatting to yet another female employee.
As I walked over I heard him tell the woman to go back to work so he could talk to me about 'business'.
"Ah Victoria, I thought you wasn't in today?" he looked at me with a smile as his tiny moustache and beard moved too
"I'm not I just have nothing else to do. Why else would I be here?" I spoke to him with his sense of humour
"Well, it's great to see you again. I'm guessing you're feeling better then?"
"Yes" I fake smiled at him
"There some checks on this patient that needs looking up." he handed me a full file. "You know" he edged in closer to me "it really is great to see you again" he said in a seductive way
"I say that to myself every morning when I look in the mirror" I joked
"I wish I could say it to you every morning" he said as my smiled began to fade
'Not again' I thought to myself
"Why not?" he asked me but I didn't reply
"It's my last year here and then you'll be manager. Lets have some fun" he was hinting at sleeping together which I had always refused
"No" I said
"Oh come on" he bit his bottom lip "you know you want to really"
"No, I said no" I smiled again trying to be as nice as possible
"Why not? I am the manager at the moment"
"Yes and all I have is respect for you, I don't want to sleep with you" I lied through my teeth about the respect part "I best get checking up on this patient then." I raised my eyebrows before walking off and back down the stairs to my own personal office.
I got to my chair as the brunette woman was watching me out the corner of her eye. I'd always got the impression she had never liked me for some reason but I carried on with what I was suppose to be doing for work.
Today, my computer actually let me sign in first time.

"Victoria?"
Casuale"Do you even remember your last kiss?" he began with the rather personal questions. "Um... I... yes" I stumbled out. I felt him smile down on me but he could only see the side of my face from where he was standing next to me. Slowly I heard his knee...
