Delusion

Chapter 7

Lauren’s P.O.V

After a hour swimming I step out the swimming pool that is in my aunt’s house. It’s amazing to have an indoor swimming pool. The room is surrounded by windows that’s almost all over the wall and in the summer you can open all the windows so you can sit and swim almost everywhere in the in the sun. There is also a remote control so you can roll the shutters automatically down, so if you want to swim in the dark you just simply click on the button. But now is everything lightly and colourful. My fingers are too softy because of the water and I walk in the shower stalls and put the shower on. The warm water rolls done my body and makes me relax and forget about the note and all the problems.

After standing almost fifteen minutes under the shower I walk back to the swimming pool and look for my towel. I let it on the sunbed, I’m sure that I let it there.

I walk around to search for my white towel but I can’t find it anywhere. When I’m about to give it up and walk out the room to go pick an other towel, the shutters roll down the windows and everything is slowly turning darker, my view is sluggishly turning black, I rapidly turn around and I look immediately to the windows, what the hell is going on here? Where is the remote control? My heart begins to beat faster, and I don’t know where to look, this is so strange it seems like someone is watching me and doing this on purpose, to scare me. It feels so cold.

When I turn my head back to the door. It feels like I can’t breath. There is standing someone, someone who I already had seen before, but I can’t recognize it immediately because of the darkness, someone who is smirking at me and stands there leaning against the wall. Alone, with a white towel, only some seconds later I can process in my head that the white towel is mine white towel. The human being is swinging with the towel to left and right on the same rhythm.

“Were you looking for this?” A male voice says softly, I feel a shiver going done my spine, a shiver of fearfulness and recognition of the voice. The voice of this green eyed human being. Happily it’s dark so he can’t see me in my exposed body, in my bikini.

“What do you want? Just give me the towel.” I reply and step a bit closer to him. I can see his green eyes on me and I instantly protect my body with my arms.

“Hum…” He smirks. I know he is looking at my body so I step some steps back in the darkness.

“Just give me the towel, it’s cold, you know?” I say it a bit too aggressive.

“Come here then.” He says softly.

“No.”

“Okay, then there is no towel for you, and you will stay there in the cold.” His voice is teasingly and I can hear it in the way his voice is coming out his mouth that he’s smiling at the same time.

“What is wrong with you? I really don’t understand you.” I reply, he’s kind of scary, but different than really scary human beings, like stalkers or something, but he’s different, but so annoying.

“Nothing, I just want to give you this towel.”

“So, just give me the towel then.” I say loudly, I begin to irritated me and I’m really getting it cold. After some second I don’t hear nothing, no movement, no respiration, no nothing.

“Are you there?” I say a bit scared.

“Hello?” I ask rapidly. How could he have escaped so carefully and quietly, I didn’t heard nothing. I step for step slowly, carefully and calmly to the door, because there is a light switch, every time when I come closer to the light switch I feel warmth not warmth of fire, it’s a human warmth, and that is the moment that I realize that he’s standing next to me. He is standing in a corner next to the door and light switch, my heart begins to beat faster again, I don’t know what he is planning to do, or if he’s really planning to do something.

“Why didn’t you said nothing?” I ask calmly, I need to speak normal to him, because otherwise I don’t know what he could do if I’m speaking rude to him. He don’t say nothing, it’s like his soul isn’t there but his body is.

But after some seconds standing there, I here movements, no foot steps, nothing like that. Then I feel something against my arm, my heart jumps.

“Here is your towel.” I hear a huskily voice just inches from my ear. I just get my towel and warp it around my freezing body and don’t say anything, no thank you or anything else. I stay there calmly and quite.

“Are you afraid of me, Lauren?” His voice process the word “Lauren” calmly and huskily, my heart begins to beat faster by the mention of my name, how does he know my name, I never ever saw him in my life since yesterday. Am I afraid of him? How does he know my name? What does he know more about me?

“Are you Lauren Morgan?” The way he speaks out my name, my first and last name in a creepy why makes me scary. I’m standing here with a stranger in a swimming pool room, completely in the darkness who knows my name. I don’t know what to say or what to do, the only thing that I want now is getting out of this room, getting away from this stranger. I calmly walk step for step to the door.

“Where are you going? You know I can hear your foot steps.” He says with a small laugh at the end.

“I’m… No where. And how the fuck do you know my name?” I say ruddily, I just want to know it, and if he’s going to do something my sister or Kelsey will hear me screaming.

“What? Uhm…”

“Just tell it your idiot-“

“Lauren, is that you?” I hear the voice of Lotte and I shock, I hear foot steps coming closer.

“Get your ass out of here or something, quickly!” I say hurriedly to him, I don’t want my sister to thinking things, I even don’t want that my sister knows that I was talking with him. Before I know the door is getting open and the daylight flows as wind in to the room. My sister stands there still with a shocked facial expression.

“Hum.. sorr-“ She says.

“It’s not what you are thinking,” I say it with a shocked voice. The guy is next to me still in the corner looking to the ground and not interfering my little conversation with my sister.

“No, no it’s okay, I will let you guys alone.” She says not believing that it’s not what she is thinking and wants to close the door again.

“Lotte, wait.” I want to go after her and leave this room with this stranger alone. But when I’m about to grab the door handle a big hand grabs my arm and while this big hand grabs my arm I turn around, he push me close to him and I stay calmly still next to him but he can’t take me over. I can’t be afraid of him.

“Are you afraid?” He asks slowly and softly in my left ear, a spine goes done my body because of his closeness and the warmth of his breath touching my ear and the why his voice enters in my ear and the fair. The fair of not knowing what he’s going to do if I response something he doesn’t want to hear.

“Maybe.”
