Chemistry (Otis Milburn)

31

I could feel my face turn pale as I continued to watch her walk away from the portable. She was looking around in paranoia, triple checking to make sure no one saw or recognized her. Otis grabbed my arm, asking if I was okay, but I just stood there-silent. 

"Vivienne what is going on? Who was that girl? Did you know her?" He asked.

"That was my best friend. My best friend is following me." I replied slowly as I remained by the window, watching her to make sure she doesn't return.

"The one you wanted me to meet? I can't remember her n-"

"Camille." I grabbed my bag and tried making my way to the door, but Otis stopped me. 

"No. Tell me what is going on."

"I don't know I guess she just forgot someth-"

"Bullshit. Tell me what really is happening." He snapped. 

I sighed and took a seat in front of him. He sat down with me.

"I'm being followed. Even to my house. This person was by my house last night, that is why I couldn't respond back to your message. They texted my phone from an unknown number to show me they were watching me and I don't even feel safe being here and telling you this, but that is all I can say. I'm being followed and I think it's Camille doing all of this, or she's doing this for someone else."

"Camille?" He responded in a puzzled way. "But I thought you said she occasionally lived with you?" 

"No, it's not just that, but like I said, I can't-"

"Well, if you want, you can spend the night at my house. She doesn't know where I live so maybe you'll be more safe there."

"Will your family be okay with that?" I was very hesitant, but really hoping it would happen. 

"Let me ask her. I mean, I've never brought a girl over, but you're not just a girl. You're Vivienne Parker." He smiled and gave a chuckle.

He stepped aside to call his mom, but I quickly stopped him. "Text her. We don't know if she's still here. She could be listening."

He sent a text to his mom, let me read it, and we patiently waited for her response. A few minutes later, she responded and Otis gave me a thumbs up. 

I couldn't resist. I ran up to Otis and wrapped my arms around him.
