Chapter Three

• • • • • = POV change

I scuffled my shoes off into of the corner of the humble warm room. I shoved my coat off and stripped into something more comfortable. I had just gotten back from my date with Isa. Thoughts flooded my mind , I started to remember the way she smiled. Her smile said a lot about her, I could tell she hadn't laughed in a while. But her smile was beautiful. Her thick wonderful locks covered one of her eyes most of time. She had this innocent look about her face. I need to get it together and stop fantasizing.

I'm Miko Mendoza. . I am a current entrepreneur of Amethyst Inc. a trendy, savvy, and ambitious company.

   A week had past and I couldn't help but think of her all day long. I was deeply frustrated and distracted. I decided that I'd want to meet again but it'd have to be somewhere special since she was special. Out of boredom I threw on my track suit jack and my adidas and walked out of my apartment. I had no idea as to where I was going but I had to breathe. I walked for about twenty minutes until I reached this small café a couple of blocks off. I walked in and ordered a cup of Chai tea and a blueberry scone. I sat down at a table near the back , I plugged in my earplugs; listening to pop music as I scrolled through my feed. I sipped softly on my drink until I'd finish and eaten my scone. I got up and shoved my phone into my pocket and threw my trash away. I walked out of the cozy building and headed left of the corner.

I turned left onto the corner and entered a safe haven , café. I actually used to work here. I waited in line and reached the counter to order a Choco Chip Muffin with Raspberry Filling and a cup of Chamomile Tea. I waited again until the cashier handed me a brown bag with the café's logo and my plastic cup. I sat down at a singular booth and sank my teeth into my muffin . I'd finished half of my muffin and tea , so I wrapped it up to finish later and headed towards the  door. I turned around making sure I didn't drop or leave anything at my table ; when turned around I bumped into someone. I looked down to see a girl about my complexion , but maybe a little darker with frizzy brown natural hair . I couldn't help but notice her honey brown pupils. She was gorgeous. "I'm really sorry" I pleaded. "No it's fine, really" she said. It was kinda awkward'..... "I'm Isa" I stated . "Isis" she responded with a smile , because of our resemblance in our names. "Um well it was nice meeting you, even though it was.." I ran on . I proceeded to the door but was cut off by her voice "maybe we could be friends?" "Um, sure" I walked back to her and we exchanged numbers. I looked at what she'd put as her contact "Isis😛💕‼️" ... Okay then. We talked for awhile and then we parted . Damn.

I chilled in my apartment for awhile before my phone rung:

                Feel it comin' in the air
And the screams from everywhere
I'm addicted to the thrill
It's a dangerous love affair
Can't be scared when it goes down
Got a problem, tell me now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town ton-

          "Hello ?" "Hey Isa, it's Miko .... I  was .. Um wondering if you'd like to go on a date again soon" I literally grinned through the telephone. "Sure that sounds nice , just text me the details and it's a date! " I said. "Okay will do" . We had a nice conversation over the phone for a while until he hung up. I turned the television on and turned on HDMI 1 to the Netflix channel. I turned on a K-Drama that I hadn't finished watching. I'd been watching K-Dramas since I was about twelve , my family always called me weird for watching them.  I grew tired while watching the show so I paused it so it wouldn't  auto play the next episode. I felt to lazy to go to my bedroom so I fell asleep on the living room couch.

        I was awoken by the endless amount of drool that I almost drowned in. I wiped the corner of my mouth and got the "sand" out of my eyes. I groaned and sat at the edge of my bed for about ten minutes until I got the strength to get up. Wait when did I get in my bed? Oh well. I reached for my phone and pressed the home screen. I'd received a new message from "Isis😛💕‼️" saying "Good Morning " . I smiled and responded back with a "Good Morning :)" . "Are you busy today?" She asked , "No, why?" . "We should hang today, shopping?" Isis suggested . I hadn't been shopping in a while since I had no friends. "Sure, when?" I asked. "How about in an hour?" "sounds like a plan" I texted back. I slumped to my closets do picked out the ootd then proceeded to the bath room did my facial routine and took a shower. I eventually finished my whole routine and texted Isis I was on my way . We met up at the Cherry Hill Mall which wasn't that far from my house. We met up at the entrance of Macy's . At first I was hesitant because I watched too many movies about getting set up and kidnapped. I had a bad feeling in my stomach but I ignored it. We shopped at a few stores like Abercrombie and Fitch and Journey's . Isis seemed like a nice person but I still had that feeling. We eventually got tired  ;I walked ahead of Isis . I looked back to her and she was looking down at her phone. She walked me to my car which was on the side of the mall . Out of no where I felt a jerk on my arm. My vision got little hazy but I continued to try and fight back the attacker, but I failed. I'd never imagine me getting kidnapped. Me...

      I fluttered my eyes open with a headache , I touched my forehead and looked at my fingers which were now covered in blood. Oh shit! I looked around my surroundings it was a room with a brick wall, cement floor, and a little bed in the corner. I started to hyperventilate but I had to calm down because I got anxiety attacks very easily. Oh shit ! I looked at my body, I remembered I had a phone . I reached for my underwear which contained my phone. Don't judge, kidnappers wouldn't look there instantly. My fingers dialed the numbers 9-1- until a dark figure blasted into the room. My eyes instantly  went bold , I got busted. The dark figured lunged towards me and successfully grabbed and destroyed my phone. As the figure came closer I noticed it had on a balaclava, and there eyes still visible. I'd remember those honey brown eyes from anywhere....."Isis!?" I yelled. "Ding Ding , Correct!" Her voice spoke out.

    | am I moving the story too fast , should I slow it down?|
