The Relationship That Can Never Be

Chapter 7: The Questions

"Do you like me?" He asked nervously

"Yeah I like you, your a good person. These two days have been great!" Kate exclaimed not trying to be sarcastic but hesitant

Brandon didn't say anything in response so the two love birds sat there eating our lunch in silence, but always smiled at each other and said yes to the waitress when she came to refill drinks and to ask is everything okay.

They were both finished with their meals.

"You can go on out to your car and wait for me while I pay, it will only take a minute" Brandon said

When Kate got to her car Brandon wasn't far behind. She was standing outside of her vehicle with the driver door open waiting for him to say goodbye or something. Brandon came up to Kate and grabbed her arms and pulled her towards him tight taking Kate by surprise. Brandon gave her a passionate kiss on the lips and held on to her for atleast a minute to keep that little intimacy but it felt like forever to them when they were together.

"Yes I like you a lot, when I'm with you it is like I get a whole different feeling. One I've never felt before." She described to Brandon

He let go of her and said "I want you to have a great rest of the day and if you want me to come over later and keep you company I can and will, do not hesitate to invite me over." and left before Kate could say anything else to him.

She just stopped and starred at him, watching as he made his way to his truck, and got in to drive away.

On the drive home. She thought about what a great lunch date she just had, but then the negative thoughts start rushing into her head also.
Such as she doesn't need to rush into a relationship this soon. Is she good enough for him. He may leave just like the last one.

When Kate pull up to my apartment and walk up to my door, I got a phone call from an unknown number. I normally do not answer them unknown numbers but this time i did.

" hello,... Hello, anybody there"
All I could hear was someone breathing in the other line as I started to end the call there was a sudden scream. It sounded like someone getting murdered like in the movies then a man with a very deep voice on the phone spoke up
"Kate this will happen to you if you do not be careful" and hung up the phone.

I had no idea what was going on. Someone is trying to warn me from something. I did not even know I was in danger.
I had no choice but to call for help because if I was in danger I wanted to know I could be protected and the only people who I thought take things serious was the police.
I didn't know what else to do this all sounded crazy to me like a dream. Who is calling me? Who could be sending me notes? What are they trying to warn me about?
Who ever it was called my by name, called my cell number and sent the note to my home apartment to tell me to watch out and be careful.

The police arrived about 20 minutes after I called them , and they had a lot of questions but acted like it doesn't matter. The young new cop told me they would try to track down the number but could not guarantee it because it could have been a burner cell phone they called from. The older cop told me I needed to get some rest and thought I was lying about the whole thing.
I even dug out the trash I previously gotten earlier that day. He said there was nothing he could do at this time because I probably wrote that note myself but took it for evidence.
Both the officers agreed that i would be safe and would not be in any danger. They called someone to sit outside my apartment and kept tabs on my phone.

I stayed home all day that day and haven't even got one message from Brandon.. I guessed I have to message him first so I did..
I texted him
" Hey"
"Want to come over?"
I have even tried to call him no response.

I was getting kind of worried because he replies fast to me all the time, and told me earlier he would come over. I am probably over thinking the whole thing. So i went to sleep on the couch

When I woke up from a nap it was about 6pm that night. I cooked dinner and called Chelsea.
No answer. Chelsea is off work at this time she didn't have college today why isn't she answering me either. That's my best friend.

I started thinking why did Brandon ask me if I liked him? Why isn't he answering my calls why isn't Chelsea answering my calls? Are they together? Crazy girl mode was officially switched on. I was over thinking everything!

Maybe I should take the cops advice and get some more rest and stop worrying. So I took a shower and
