His Little Marionette (The Puppeteer x Reader)

Chapter 18: Confusion

Y/N's POV

I could feel my face start to heat up. He was way too close for comfort. I wanted nothing more than to escape from his grasp. I struggled, but he just tightened his grip on me. I felt so helpless.

I saw him leaning his head towards mine. What does he think he's doing?! He still had my chin tilted up and I couldn't turn away. I just closed my eyes and braced myself.

I waited a couple of seconds, but nothing happened. I felt him release his grip on me. I opened my eyes. I saw him jump out the window as he left.

I just stood still for a couple of seconds, shocked. I was so confused. What... just... happened?

I stood there for at least a good minute before walking over to my bed. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to sleep after... that. Nonetheless, I closed my eyes and attempted to fall asleep.

A couple hours went by and I was still unable to fall asleep. At this point, it's around 5AM. It was still dark out, but the sun was about to come out. I was still going to try to get a little bit more sleep.

An hour later I gave up. The sun was coming out and some early morning rays of sunlight started to light up the room. I decided to give up and get an early start to the day. I got up and looked for my work clothes. It was the weekend, but I still had to work.

I found my work clothes and decided to take a quick shower before getting dressed. By the time I was showered, dressed, and did my hair, it was 7:15AM. I didn't have to be at work until 9AM, so I had plenty of time to eat before I had to go.

Took out a pan and a carton of eggs. I made myself 3 scrambled eggs and sat on the couch and turned on the TV. The news was on and the weatherman was going over the weather. I just watched and ate my food.

By the time I was done eating it was 7:45AM. I still had plenty of time to spare. I decided to spend time writing a little in my diary. It'd been a long time since I've written in it. It's good to write down your thoughts once in a while.

After a bit of time writing in my diary, I checked the time and it was almost 8AM. I then heard my phone go off. I remembered that I had set an alarm to go off at 8AM. I turned off the alarm and tried to think of something to pass the time. I just decided to watch TV until it was time to leave.

I watch TV for a little bit. There wasn't really much on TV that seemed interesting. I decided to leave for work at 8:30AM. I got up and went to work.

A few hours later, my shift ended. When I got home, I checked the time. 3:30PM. I decided to call Alicia to see if she wanted to come over.

Alicia said that she would come over with Bella. So I waited for them to come over. At 4PM, I heard a knock on my door. I opened it and I saw Alicia and Bella standing there. They smiled and came in.

I asked them if they wanted to order any pizza. They of course said yes, so I called and ordered a large pizza for us. They said it should be ready in half an hour. While we waited, we just talked. Eventually, I decided to leave to go grab the pizza.

Fifteen minutes later, I came back to my apartment with the pizza. The other two were trying to get some of the pizza before I had the chance to set it down. Needless to say, we devoured the pizza. After we finished the pizza, I decided to open a window to let some fresh air in. I then grabbed my computer from my room then returned to the couch with the others.

I asked them what they wanted to do. They said that they were in the mood to listen to some music. I went to YouTube and opened a playlist of songs that I know that Alicia and I liked. Turns out, Bella is into the same genre of music Alicia and I like. I put the playlist on shuffle and we just listened and sang to some of the songs.

Eventually, they said that they should get going. It was almost 9PM and it was completely dark outside. I told them to have a safe back to their dorm. After they left, I just went back to my room and plugged in my computer and decided to watch some videos before I went to bed.
