Thank you all for reading my book so far. I appreciate it :) hope you like this one

I squinted my eyes as the suns rays came in. Yesterday freaked me out. It was like a thriller movie. Like a 4D thriller movie. I laughed. The letter was just epic but some moments made me smile such as seeing Erik in superman underpants when he was five. I smiled.Erik definitely cared about me but tried his best not to show it. He's just shy. I told myself as I got up and looked out of the window. Glancing out I saw Erik leaning beside his car right in front of my doorway, holding a boquet of roses. I smiled. He looked like he was uncomfortable. I quickly put on a tank top and a pair of shorts and ran down the stairs. Obviously Jessica was eye raping Erik. I shook my head. Like she was ever going to change. "Hey Erik." I said smiling as I closed the door behind me. He looked at me and grinned. "Madame Gray.. I am honoured to present you these beautiful roses this morning." He drawled in a french accent. I laughed. "Never knew you could mimic well." He shrugged. "You don't a lot of things about me." I raised my eyebrow at him. "Like?" "Like I might appear to become some superman anytime." I snorted. "Definitely. Your dreams haven't changed since you were five." He laughed. "I wish I never grew up and stayed young always like Peter Pan." I smiled. "Yeah...me too." I whispered back. He glanced at me and then grinned. "Well we should have fun while we are still young." He said winking.I groaned. "Totally. All that wisdom talking got me to forty." He snickered. "Only?" I glared at him. "Take that back." He shot me a innocent look. "What Vanessa." I groaned. "What you just said. " He stared at me with a blank face. I pushed him lightly. "TAKE IT BACK!" He looked at me shocked. "Okay Okay! Jeez! I'm sorry." I smiled. "That's better." He smiled and took my hand in his. "If you were 40 I would be 45 so it really doesn't matter to me." I sent him a questioning look but he just shook his head and led me to his car. "Wanna go for a long drive?" I nodded. "Sure." I got in and made myself comfortable. After a few minutes of driving we stopped. "That was a long drive." I said snickering. He clicked his tongue and got out. "We're going to Malibu Beach." I stared at him mouth open."But that's like five hours away." He nodded. "Exactly. Five hours driving where possibly we wont get any stores and I don't want us to starve." No wonder he stopped in front of Wall mart. "Got it." "Be back in 10." He said before closing the door. I checked the window to make sure he wouldn't be able to see me. Checking to make sure the coast was clear I did my Happy dance which trust me is weird." He's taking me to Malibu Beach. That definitely shows he's trying to make a move. I grinned happily. I liked him a lot. I hope he does. He came back a few minutes later with three huge packets of food. I opened the door to let him in and took one of the bags to stash them in the back seat. He got in and turned towards me. "I got oreos, pretzels,chips,muffins, chocolate cake, a few burgers from Mc D that was close buy and milk shakes." he said handing me a shake. I sipped and grinned. "Five hours and counting!" He smiled with a mischievous glint inn his eyes. He patted his steering wheel and grinned. "I could get us in four hours." He started the engine and raced off. After about half an hour about arguing whether Leona Lewis or Avril lavigne is a better singer, we fell into a comfortable silence. "Darn." Tiny droplets of rain fell on all the windows. "You don't like rain?" Erik glanced at me confused. "No I love rain but if it continues the beach would be closed." he laughed. "Nah.. it won't rain over there for the next couple of days. It says so in the forecasts." I smiled. "Great." I reached my hand to grab the box of muffins. "Dibs on the blueberry." Erik said when he saw what I had on my lap but I could barely hear what he said. On top of the box was another letter stuck with a bit of tape. I froze. It was the same violet envelope with the same scent and calligraphy."Vanessa? Vanessa? What's wrong? Vanes-." He looked at the envelope and his eyes widened. "How?" "Erik I don't know." I whispered. A horrible thought crossed my mind but I didn't want to believe it. I scooted away from Erik as far as possible.

Dear Vanessa,

I see the way you look at him, touch him, and I see the way you care for him. His green eyes will never shine again if he were dead. I will kill him Vanessa. I will kill anyone who comes between us even if it was the whole world. Let him go and come to me. I will see you soon and I hope it doesn't take long.
