Rounding 10 o'clock, I thought I should take a quick shower and get some sleep for work tomorrow.
In the kitchen, I grabbed out Duke's food from the cabinet and filled his bowl with food in case he was still hungry from earlier. Hearing the food being dropped into his bowl he ran over immediately and sat. He sat there continuing to watch me intensely until I was done putting food into his bowl.
With Duke immediately chomping into his bowl of food, I double checked that all of the windows and door to my apartment were still locked.
Checking that they were all locked, I drew the curtains over them. Feeling it was ok to get in the shower now, I did. I grabbed an old tee shirt, sweatpants, and underwear, and took them into the bathroom with me. Setting them on the counter I set my phone up to play The Misfits while I was in the shower.
Undressing and getting into the shower, I eased into the warm water leaving the faucet.
-time skip because it's a shower and people know how they go, even if you don't shower often-
Once having the new clothes on, I had my hair wrapped up in the fancy hair wrap it seems all people with long hair know how to do. I threw the old clothes into my hamper in my closet, and headed into the kitchen to look for Duke.
Seeing the curtain was brushed to the side, I stopped walking immediately. I walked over to the window to check if it was locked. Much to my dismay- it wasn't. I quickly locked the window and walked back into the kitchen.
The lock could've slipped, it is an older apartment building. Or Duke could've been running around and brushed the curtains that could've been stuck to the latch, and then un-stuck once the curtain moved after it was unlocked. Oh who am I kidding-I'm starting to think like people in the horror movies.
Just deciding to go to bed, I figured sleeping would get my mind off of it. I again checked that the door was locked, it was, I turned off the lights and headed to my room. Walking into my room, I relaxed finally seeing where Duke was. He was on his side of the bed, yes, HIS side of the bed, and his snake was curled under his arm. It was cute seeing his arm around his snake but still chewing slightly on the end of it.
Seeing I was in the room, Duke's head popped up and looked at me happily. I flipped the switch by the doorway, accentuating the darkness in the corner of my room. Walking over towards him, his tail started wagging extremely. I walked over to my closet and flicked on the small light inside it, allowing some light to enter into my room.
Crawling into bed next to Duke, he snuggled into my side almost instantly. Plugging my phone into the charger by me bed, I set an alarm for 6:15, wanting to be very prepared for my jobs tomorrow that started at 9.
Closing my eyes, I started to pet Duke's head slowly, adoring how soft his fur was. Getting lost in time in my comfortable state, I opened my eyes once I felt like someone was watching me. I turned my head around, squinting at the darkness in the corner around. Just as i was about to get up and look, darkness enveloped my vision.
