When Midnight Breaks

Chapter 4- Night Out

A quick blast of madness rushed to my mind after reading the note on my windshield. I was neither trying to entice anyone or make anyone jealous.

I got so furious I plunged the keys in the ignition and pumped the gas so hard I almost had trouble braking on the reverse. I sped home and took a long hot shower. I thought I should look a bit more presentable for tonight so I did my nails and sorted through the jungle of clothes I had in the closet. "Where is it, I wondered" and then it came into my sight, the blue caught my eyes and I quickly grabbed it, it was an old dress, Andy had gifted me it for my birthday. It was medium blue body fitted dress and well it fit the description of short. It was either the dress or jeans and a top but I went with the first since it was the boss and all, however casual it may be I have to dress to impress.

I slide into the garment and went with a simple drop down hairstyle as I wasn't in the mood for a classy hairdo and when you have long black hair any style will do, not much make up but a deep red lipstick and a bit of eyeliner.

At 6:55 I was prepped and ready for the outing. I sat on the couch and waited for the doorbell to ring. I wasn't even excited about this. "Maybe I should tell Andy, before he as to find out any other way, I tempted myself". The doorbell rang and I forgot my thoughts. I ran to get the door and my jaw dropped for a few quick seconds. Standing there in black jeans and a black shirt was my boss, He sure looks tempting, I quickly composed myself. I was left staring and he broke the silence, "Good evening, Sera you look stunning'' I managed to say to return the greeting ''now shall we go'' he gestured and lead the way back to his car. To my amazement it was a different car from the one I saw at work today. It made me a little puzzled but since I wasn't sure about that ride either I didn't bother to enquire. I got in the front seat and he powered the engine, the rev made my skin crawl. This machine was sweet and the aroma inside the car was quite metallic. I was pulled to this confident situation more than anything; it reminded me of how Andy made me feel, he had this metallic scent.

On the way he was playing some indie music, trying to get me to spill the beans about myself, I was careful, choosing to answer selectively and directing some questions back at him, the convo switched from here and there but I enjoyed it a bit, his insight on some topics like work and behavior were extremely well laid out. "if I didn't know any better I would have called him a politician."

When we arrived at the movie and he got out first and opened my door quite the gentleman wasn't he, I thought. Anyways all that was fine; we went into the theatre and he made the decision on snacks, I was glad he did, I wasn't that hungry anyways. There was aloud "ping" and then he rushed back saying let's go. We got into the theatre and we sat in the second row from in front. Still unsure of why I was doing this I smiled at every comment he made and nodded occasionally. I was freaking out. The movie started and we nibbled on chocolate cookies (so childish but what the heck).

I felt the vibration in my purse. It was my phone. It was a text message who now I thought. I took out the device and held it close the message read "I see you're having fun princess, do be careful and enjoy the movie". I dropped the phone and stared at Alex who didn't have his phone nowhere next to him, I started to sweat and shiver inside. "Who is this? what did he want from me and why was he tormenting me so much?" I didn't alarm Alex and I continued to watch the movie. I hardly focused on the movie but I noticed something different about Alex. His hands were slightly drooping over to my side of the seat. "Yes girls look at these signs". I knew he had other motives, but I ignored it because he seemed nervous himself.

When the movie ended we came out and hardly spoke to each other. "How was the movie?" he said softly. I nodded and responded "For something I'm not a mega-fan of it was alright. I enjoyed it. Thank you for tonight". Once again I observed he was nudging his hand against mine and brushing my fingers. Maybe I should tell him about Andy, I pondered in my head. I went against my intuition.

He dropped me home and I stepped out of the car. He came out and walked me to the door, but he was blushing now and he said "sweet dreams Sera! See you at work tomorrow!" I replied "Good night" and I went inside. He drove off and disappeared into the night. There was something about him that mystified me but I couldn't pick it up.

Mom had already gone to bed; I had left a note on the table saying I was going out.

"Ping" "Oh s*** I thought again" I opened my phone and there it was "I DON'T LIKE THAT GUY TAKING YOU PLACES & GETTING SO CLOSE TO YOU PRINCESS! PLEASE DO ENJOY YOUR NIGHT AND BY THE WAY, YOU LOOK GORGEOUS IN THAT BLUE DRESS, A LITTLE SHORTER AND I MIGHT LOSE CONTROL!!''

My mind couldn't think straight anymore. Who was this person texting me? Why was he messaging me in mysteries? Was he watching me? What did he want from me...?
