Chasing Love?

Chapter 7

Anna's POV

How the hell did he get my number?! My blood began rushing through my body, my heart fell, my head began to sweat. I have to do something. I didn't want to reply but I also wanted to know if he knew where I was.

My thoughts were interrupted by another ding from my phone.

(000) 000-0000: I know you missed me Ann, I definetly missed you. I can't wait to see you again so we can finally be together.

I was disgusted, he couldn't be serious. I can't think about this now. Just when my life was getting better he comes back and tries to ruin it. I needed to get some sleep and stop thinking about him.

I took a couple of asprin and fell to sleep.

I woke up to my phone ringing. It was an unknown number. It was 3 in the morning who would call at 3? My subconscious thought Rick. I turned off my phone and started walking around my room. I'm way too nervous to go to sleep now. I just couldn't shake Rick off my mind. What would I do if he found me?

I'll just put on some tunes. Good thing my records are here. Finally my nerves were calming.  Todd Rundgren's 'I saw the Light' was playing. Just listening to the mellow tune helped me. Singing along to the lyrics I heard the my door bell ring. Crap he found me. I slowly went to see who it was and looking through the peep hole I was relieved to see Jeremy. But why was he here so early? I opened the door to see a very tired handsome Jeremy in grey trainer sweats and a navy blue Nike shirt.

"Hey is something wrong?"

"I was just going to ask you that." How could he know? I'm just overthinking again.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you're playing music at 3 and I just thought maybe there was something wrong. Unless you're planning to have a party."

I'm such an idiot! How could I be so inconsiderate. "I'm really sorry, I didn't think it was that loud I promise I'll turn it off right now. I just couldn't sleep."

"No you don't have to do that. I like this song."

My stomach filled with butterflies. "You like Todd Rundgren too?"

"My mom used to listen to him all the time. I never thought someone ad young as you would enjoy old music like that."

I laughed at what he said and thought about my dad when he used to play this song. "I've enjoy old music, classic rock is my all time favorite. Your mom must have great taste."

"She did."

"Oh I'm sorry."

"No it's alright, she would've liked you."

We stood there I'm silence. I wanted to say something to break the silence but I didn't know what.

"Is it the jet lag?" He said.

"Huh?"

"The jetlag, is that why you can't sleep?"

"Yeah." I lied.

"Ok well I'll let you be then."

"You could stay if you want." Truth was I didn't want to be alone especially now.

"Actually I have work in the morning but otherwise I'd love to spend time with you."

I was so dumb, of course he had a job. I wonder what he does. "Of course I'm sorry. Night."

"Goodnight Anna."

After he left I turned off my record player and went to bed. Tomorrow I had to check out a supermarket, I couldn't just live off of eggs I mean not me.
