Can You Keep A Secret [Book 2]

Six

"I just saw a shadow, Zara, I don't think it was your imagination, I think someone is watching us." I suddenly felt shivers run down my spine.

I no longer wanted to watch the movie we were watching. The hairs on my arm were standing, I was sweating profusely and I could feel Zikora muttering inaudibly.

I turned off the television and we all left the parlor to my room. I sat on my couch with my hands on my chest, Zikora was biting her nails, Derin kept tapping the back of her phone pouch and Ziora just sat on my bed, staring into space.

"I can't even remember how it feels to have a normal life, this person has ruined our happiness." Derin sighed.

"More like we let him or her ruin our happiness, this was supposed to be the time we'll use to recover from the past few weeks but look at us, back to square one." Ziora chimed in, standing from my bed and pacing my room. The black jeans she wore clung to her body like a second skin.

"So what are we going to do?" I asked, staring at the three girls who all had worry written all over their faces. The smiles on their faces had been replaced with looks of worry, agony and sadness.

"Derin, can you try and see if you could get the person that sent us the text?" Zikora inquired, adjusting on the chair and turning to face Derin.

Derin paused for a moment, like she was trying to construct what she wanted to say.

"Wow, nice idea Zee, why didn't I think of that?" Derin asked sarcastically, Zikora scoffed and eyed her.

"You could have been nicer though." She muttered under her breath, bringing out her phone from her pocket.

"I tried tracing the text but nothing was working, it's just like the last time only that the location was showing me three places." Derin paused and looked at us,as if she was making sure we were paying attention to what she had to say. She licked her red lips, tucking one of her braids behind her ears and continued.

"The locations were my house, Zara's house and the twins house. I don't know how the person did it but I think they've been watching us for quite some time." Ziora found her way back to my bed and drew the duvet to her chin.

I used my eyes to look for the remote to the A.C. It was sitting comfortably on my study table, I reached for it and turned off the A.C.

I sighed, rubbing my temple and looked at the girls who all had distant looks on their faces. "I think we should sleep, it's getting really late and sitting here worrying about this won't solve anything." They all nodded and we all looked for something to do.

I walked into my closet, pulling what I was wearing and tying my towel round my chest. I got into the bathroom to have my bath, hanging the towel on the towel holder in my bathroom.

After having my bath, Zikora got into the shower and did her business. I wore a pink night wear, packed my hair into my bonnet and went to lay down on my bed. I didn't know when I slept off.

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I checked the time and saw that it was 3:30am, William was written on the screen.

"Hey babe." I said, after clearing my throat and picking up his call.

"Hey durling. I've missed you so much, we didn't even talk yesterday and I wanted to know if you were okay." I suddenly felt some kind of relief after hearing his voice, I could imagine him smiling or licking his red lips.

"I've missed you too, I'm sorry I've been a little bit busy, the girls came over and I just became distracted." I mumbled, almost at a go. I stood up from my bed and walked into my bathroom so I wouldn't disturb the girls.
