The Devil On My Shoulder | Chapter 6

"A total of five bodies have been found on the site but there are still no leads. Cops are thinking  they weren't murder here but where drop off here. These murders are being thought to be tied to the other missing person cases that have come up recently." I heard the new caster saw over the TV. I wasn't really watching it and I may of just turn it on for some background noise but that did caught my attention. I had even tuned in my chair at the island in front of the kitchen to see what was going on. 

I jump a little bit when I heard the sound of a glass being put in front of me. "Are you alright babe?" I heard Ricky say and I turned around to look at him. He did ended up staying the night, of course I wasn't really expecting him to listen to me.

"Ya I'm fine that news story just caught my attention. I hope this all stops and they catch that guy. He's had a free run for far to long." I said before picking up the cup of coffee he had set in front of me and took a sip. I am right about his going on for far too long. All of this started a few months ago and it's been making me paranoid ever since.

He raised an eyebrow questionably at me before leaning against the counter that was connected to the island. "I mean I find this whole thing quite interesting. It's not like he's doing anything to horrible or new to exacted." He said causally to me.

"How do you know it's a he? They have no leads for all we know this could be a she." I said with a shurg. 

"The whole thing won't match the way a female would go about this." He told me and I had to agree with him on that.

"Mhhh maybe he's attractive. You know most crazed serial killers seem to be." I said jokingly to him with a laugh and all he did was smirk in response. I think he was taking my remark as a joke but to be honest i wasn't joking, what can I say I find insanity a bit of a turn on. Maybe I am crazier then I though. 

"He just might be." I heard him mumble before taking a sip of his coffee. 

Glancing behind him I saw the time on the stove and I quickly jump up. "Shit." I mumble panicked as I rushed back into my bedroom to get ready to leave. 

"What's wrong?" I heard Ricky ask me with a concerned voice as he followed behind me. 

"I'm going to be late for work if I don't start getting ready now." I told him as I frantically pulled outfits out of my clothes trying to find something to throw on that fit my work criteria. Deciding on the first thing I saw that fit it I threw on a black tank top with a pair of black jeans and a flowy black cartridge.

 Almost running, I made my way into the bathroom and I threw a bunch of my makeup up on the counter. Just as I was about to put some of it on a hand grab mime and stopped me. Glancing over my shoulder I saw it was Ricky. Of course it was for one who else would it be and two he always is getting in my way. I shot him a glare and rip my hand out of his grasp and start to apply my foundation. 

"Aw come on baby take the day off of work and spend it with my." He said to me. Right now he was reminding me of how in cartoons they show you with the little devil and angel on either shoulder expect in this case I guess I'm only getting the devil which is quite fitting. 

"I have to go to work." I said more forcefully even though I had a feeling he would win in the end. We might both be overly stubborn but he would defiantly go to further measure to get his way but that is what I liked about him. 

He moved behind me and wrap his arms around my waist and brought his face  forward putting his mouth near my ear. "If you try to leave I guess I'm going to have to tie you down to the bed. So, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, you make that choice." He said to me in a hush down that made shivers run down my spin. I'm guessing I'm not going anywhere after all.

I had ended up sprawled across Ricky chest as we laid on the couch and my cat had laid down above us on top of the couch. Ricky took his time going between playing with my hair and petting the cat and I could tell we were both quite content but that didn't last. I almost jump out of my skin when the harsh sound of the phone ringing broke the silence that filled the room.

With a huff I reached over to the coffee table and brought the phone up to my ear. "Hello?" I mumble. 

"Hi Devin I heard you didn't come in to work today which isn't like you. Is everything okay?" I heard my mangers voice ask softly.

"Oh ya I'm fine I just wasn't feeling well. I meant to call but it must of just crossed my mind." I said to her. She was too sweet to question it plus she wouldn't fire me because I think she is fully aware without me that place would go to shit. 

"Oh it's fine I hope you get better and that I see you in tomorrow,things never run as smoothly without you here. I hope the rest of your night is good." She said cheerfully which shocked me with the mess she probably had to see today. Our manger only comes in every few weeks to make sure we are running smoothly and I guess this was the one week this month she would be in. Hopefully she see the mess my other co works are and she fires some of them. That would make my day

"I hope you have a good night too. I should be in tomorrow I'm already starting to feel a lot better. Bye." I said to her before hanging up and placing my phone back on the table.

I let out a sigh as I curled back into Ricky chest. "What's wrong babe?" He ask me as he ran one of his hands up and down my back. 

"Just frustrated that I have to go back to work tomorrow. I like my job and all I could just do without the people I work with. If I were ever to commit murder it would be caused by one of my co works throwing me over the edge." I groaned and I heard Ricky let out a chuckle that made me glare up at him.

"Aw babe don't look at me like that. I just like it when you get like this." He said with a cocky smirk. "If you ever do end up committing murder on one of them make sure you call me because that would be interesting to watch." He said jokingly, at least I think he was joking. I'm not sure I can never really tell with him.

"You know this means you're going to have to let me go to work tomorrow." I told him with a forcefully glare trying to be as assertive as I possible could be.

"We'll see about that." He said with a that same smug chuckle. Part of me knows me think he wasn't kidding about that even though I would like to think this whole suborn act is a joke. Of course he has to make my life more difficult then it already is.

"Don't you need to go to work?" I ask him curiously. He never talks about where he works at all. All I have been able to figure out about it was that he obliviously makes a decent amount of money.

"I own my on business and I only tend to go in a few times a week to make sure everything is running the way I want it to and to go through any built up paperwork that needs to go through me for approval." He told me and that made sense on why he had so much free time to make my life difficult.

"Well unlike you I actually I have to go into work multiple time a week." I told him, poking his chest.

"Like I told you before we'll see about that." He mumble into my hair before kissing my temple.
