I woke up by someone singing, and not just someone, but my grandma. She has a siren type singing voice, which I love. The song was my favorite, Beauty and The Beast. When I was little, she sang Celine Dion part and grandpa sang the man's (which I always forget his name). I heard her sing until the mans part was up, then I heard her cry, and I knew she missed him. I missed him but they were married for 53 years, she beats me.
I went to the kitchen to find her making breakfast with watery eyes so I sang along "Just a little change, small to the say the least, both a little scared, neither one prepare, beauty and the beast" and we sang together the whole song.
She hugged me and said "I miss him so much baby girl"
"I know me too. That's why I had to sing with you, he wouldn't like to see you crying. Plus that's my favorite song so I couldn't help myself" we smiled and hugged again.
"That was beautiful. I haven't heard you singing in such a long time Leigh Ann. I want to hear it again before..." she stopped because the bell rang.
"I'll get it" I said. When I opened the door no one was there, but an envelope was on the floor. I took it and went inside again.
"Who was it honey?" Analine said.
"No one, but there was this on the floor. Here" I handed it to grandma.
She opened it and a frown had me worried. "It's for you Lis" I took it again.
It was a birthday card that said 'Dear Lisa, I hope I didn't interrupted your family reunion. I just wanted to say happy birthday and we'll see each other soon. With love, Your Admirer' I was really worried now.
"Well, do you have and admirer you were aware of?" Grandma said.
"An admirer? Let me see that" Analine took it from my hands.
"I don't know grandma, I actually don't befriend boys and only have 2 girl friends" where did this 'admirer' came from?
"Seems creepy to me, it sounds like a stalker not admirer" Analine said.
"We should notify the police" grandma said while freaking out.
"And say what that a birthday card arrived on our doorstep with a message from my 'admirer'? They will think we are crazy and stop wasting their time with boys problems" who might be?
"She's right Leigh Ann, we should just wait and see if he or she come forward" thank you Analine.
"Okay, but if I notice something's not right, we are going to the authorities. Am I clear?" Yeah sometimes she's a little strict, but I love her anyway.
"As clear as glass" I need a drink I haven't tasted, move to Africa or food. And I choose the latter.
"You want to eat baby girl?" Lord bless your mind reading skills. It's a joke of course.
"Please" I sit down and grab my phone, just in case my 'admirer' decides to show up and he's a serial killer.
After breakfast, we go to the spa center. And it's heaven. The first and last time I came here to accompany Analine I wanted to experience it myself so bad that when the lady said that I was a little too young I scream bloody murder and they did it anyway. I was 5.
Next stop was the mall. And I bought some dresses, jeans, shirts, shoes and Victoria's Secret underwear. I might be a virgin but I love sexy underwear.
Then we needed to eat so we picked Italian. I loved their food, makes me feel a little closer to mom, she was Italian. Rafaela Morel.
Back at home I called my best friend Emilia and told her everything and I mean everything. From the moment I saw grandma to the sexy underwear I bought. Even my 'admirer'.
It was normal for me and grandma to sit in the living room every night and watch movies but this time she fell asleep very early. So I went to my room. When I got to my bed, I smelt the gross, metallic smell of blood, and I looked at the floor and there was a blood patch in front of my bed which I didnt see when I came in. So when I got closer to it, I heard something behind me and when I turned around a huge silouhete was there. I felt a sting in my forehead, and then everthing went dark.
