CHECKLISTS

In the dark

I opened the door to his flat, ready to call it a day as soon as my head hits the pillow.

That was the longest checklist David gave me so far. I had to..

☑️Buy groceries, good for 3 weeks
☑️Buy new bedsheets
☑️Get all the fan mails
☑️Put the stuffed toys, funko pops, etc in Henry's playroom (He has xbox!)
☑️Walk Lois around the park
☑️Watch while the house cleaner cleans (what?)
☑️Shop for Henry (which required a sub-checklist)
☑️Give another checklist to Mr. Sherman

Seriously?! Did they feel like I wasn't doing anything? Because, honestly, it sure felt like I just signed a paper a week ago and I just need to wait for my paycheck. But it said on my job description that I'm only needed for urgent matters. And Henry has been on a vacation so I really didn't think they'd need me for anything anytime soon.

Not that I'm complaining though. It's just been a long day and I need to sleep. I still have school tomorrow and mom would be worried sick if she doesn't hear from me ASAP. Even if I'm only enrolled in an online class, it sure feels like I'm more drained than a regular uni student. Remind me again why I enrolled in 8 courses? Ugh.

But still. Looking at the bright side, David told me that I can sleep in this flat while I'm working for them! Henry lives in the UK so this luxurious haven is basically just his hotel room. And my house. Ha Ha! I may be sleeping in the guest room but I own this baby! I feel so giddy!

I went inside and was about to flick the lights on when suddenly a hand covered my mouth and I heard the door shut softly.

The panic immediately took over and I tried to scream and pry the hand off my face but the grip got tighter.

"Sshhh," it was a voice of a man. It was deep and every bit menacing and I knew then that I would die.

"Don't," he whispered on my left ear.

But I was gonna die! I tried grabbing his hair from behind but he caught my right arm and he pinned it to my lower back. I tried it again with my left arm but he pushed me against the wall, my chest hitting it first. It hurt and I whimpered. It was useless.

"Just.. Wait," he said. His hand covering my mouth, loosens a little. I kept still.

He removed his hand completely and just when I was about to shout, his lips met mine. He kissed me hard. He kissed me with so much fervor I didn't feel him tying a knot on both of my hands behind my back.

I was lost. I tasted alcohol and the smell of smoke and mint made me dizzy. It was as if I was falling from a tree, and the ground was burning, and the ashes rose up to create mini tornadoes around me and I'm... I'm gonna die.

I was confused, shocked, scared and just screaming inside. I could die I could die I could die. My mom. My mom needs me. And I'm gonna die.

I don't know how long or how short the kiss was but he suddenly broke the contact.

"Listen," he whispered to my ear. He was panting. His accent was unmistakable this time. "I'm willing to wait, but you have to give me what I want."

I stiffened. Fear was taking over. How did he get inside? What does he want?

"Who are you?" I asked through gritted teeth. I tried to keep my voice from shaking.

He sighed and I felt his forehead resting on my left shoulder. "Don't be like that, babe. I'm really sorry."

What?

I had no time to voice out my question. He turned my body towards him and I heard a click. I was momentarily blinded by the light that I had to blink a few times before the face in front of me registered in my head.

I gasped. He gasped.

Our sharp intake of breaths were the only noise for a long moment.

Shock was registered clearly on his face. His hair was unruly, his coat was hanging on one arm, his lips were parted a little and his eyes searched mine.

I'm speechless.

"Oh God," he breathed, his shoulders started rising and falling a little faster. His eyes were so wide, surprise were evident on them. I watched as his epression changed from shock to curiosity to realization to sorrow.

I let out a long breath I didn't know I was holding. I felt the cold wall against my arm and my shoulder blades. The knot in my hand was tight enough to cut off my circulation and I was shaking. I felt hot liquid on my chest and I looked down. The front of my t-shirt was soaked. I had been crying fat, ugly tears.

This is so bad.

His hand touched my chin and he tilted my head up. He was so beautiful. He looks like he just had so many shits thrown at him today but he still looks so beautiful.

I've waited for this day to happen. I said I would have my camera on burst mode. I said I would wear my fandom shirt. I said I would ask him to tilt my head up like he's about to kiss me and it will be the best fan photo ever, the twitter world will banish me forever. I said it would be perfect.

But Henry Cavill was looking at me like I'm the last person he wanted to see and he's just being nice before he shoos me away.

"You must be Kristen," he said softly.

I nodded.

He sighed. He closed his eyes.

Then he hugged me.
