Right Behind You (Thriller)

No.2

As I finally moved all the boxes i looked around my nearly completed house. I placed my house keys on top of the glass dining table I just recently purchased; I placed all the left over pictures I had from my old home, onto the newly shelves.

A knock echoed the hall way, as I walked to the huge wood door, grabbing the brass Handle. A boy about 6'2 dark skinned, low fade, chocolate brown eyes with plumped lips that looked edible; I couldn't stop staring at them as his pearly white teeth peaked through.

"Like what you see?", he said with a little chuckle; "Oh sorry about that, I'm Armoire", I placed my hand out as his warm hand touched mine. " unique name. The names Marcello." He did that smile again, I swear he was doing it on purpose. "I'm guessing your new here because, I've never seen someone like you around. Well if you need anything I'm just next door."
"Thanks, hopefully I'll pass by one time", as he walked back & headed down the steps, I watched him walk down the street; before making his turn he smiled at me once more & waved. There's something about him that seemed to intrigue me but at the same time, I know I have to be careful as looks can be deceiving.

I closed the door behind me & decided to order some take out as I hadn't done any food shopping for the house. "Hmmm, haven't had Chinese for a while might just come through", I searched for the local Chinese takeout & ordered the usual; chow Mein, sweet & sour chicken & pork ribs. The order was going to take about an hour to come, I walked up the spiral stairs to my bedroom & roamed through boxes which my clothes were still stored in, I pulled a pair of shorts & a tank top. I tied my hair into a messy bun & wiped off my make-up, I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, thinking about the boy next door & why he was in my head, I shrugged it off & went downstairs.

An hour had passed & my food still hadn't arrived, I sat down in my living room watching scream my favourite Netflix drama. I wasn't used to living by myself, especially sitting in my own living room on my own. The doorbell suddenly rang echoing the hall way, I quickly answered the door & paid for my Chinese.
The aroma filling my nostrils, making my belly rumble & my mouth water, I devoured the food within minutes; I don't play with my food especially when I'm hungry.
I threw the food boxes away & locked the front door, switched off the tv & headed upstairs.

I entered the cold sheets & as my head touched the cotton soft pillow, I looked up at the ceiling & suddenly everything went blank....

His firm grips got tighter & tighter, my eyes rolling to the back of my head. My lifeless body still trying to fight his manly grip, "I'll kill you I swear, you useless piece of shit", he screamed as the warmth of his body now getting boiling hot. My cries of help not being heard as its my inner voice speaking.
There I was again waking up from that horrific nightmare, as I laid there in a pool of my own sweat, things can never get better....
