Stalker [𝑯.𝑺]

Chapter 4

Liv woke up to noises coming from downstairs. She was a very light sleeper and she could even wake up when her conscience was telling her she was being watched. She took her phone on the nightstand to look at the time. 6:03 am.

She wore her robe and her flops and went downstairs.
She got the surprise of her life when she saw a fully dressed Kieran cooking in her kitchen.

"Uhm...Kieran? What are you doing in here? It's 6am." She asks shivering at the morning cold because the windows were open.

"I thought I might cook you some breakfast before you head to work" he said.

"I actually work from home until i need to actually move" she smiles.

"Oh." He smiles back
She looks around and couldn't help but wonder how he got in

"Uhm...how did you get in?" She finally asks

"I'm the owner remember? I have a key" he tells her.
She nods her head in agreement.

"Why don't you sit down I'll be done in about 15 minutes" he says.

"How about I go for a short run" she suggests.

"Okay. I think I'll be done by the time you get back." He smiles.

She runs upstairs and changed into her running clothes. She took her AirPods and played "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
She went out through the back door.

Liv wasn't too athletic. She already had a good shape. When she was younger she engaged in gymnastics for over 4 years. She had an injury to her knee and even though it wasn't serious and it eventually healed, she lost the self confidence. So many people attempted to get her to continue, but she had made up her mind.
Her family had given her an option to model but she felt she was way too busty to be one.

She jogged along the road side listening to music. She stopped on the way when she heard footsteps behind her. She reduced the volume on her phone and continued to jog. She heard the footsteps and this time she took out her AirPods. She turned around only to get the fright of her life. Again.

"Holy fucking shit!" She screamed. She saw Molly right behind her, a creepy smile plastered on her face.

"Oh my god. Did I give you a fright?" She asks concerned

'Bitch what do you think?' Liv thought.

"Yeah. But it's okay" she reassured. Her hands were still on her chest and she was trying to catch her breath.

"Do you think we can go together?" Molly says referring to the jogging.

"Yeah sure" she accepted.

These days Liv has felt like Molly was everywhere lately. The other day she was at the supermarket and she bumped into her.
Liv had hired someone to take care of the garden plants and, that person turned out to being Molly.

They arrived at the house sweaty. Kieran was just turning off the stove when the ladies stumbled inside.

"Ah here you are" Kieran says a big smile.

"Let's eat" Liv says.

****

Liv couldn't be more happier that Harry was coming back. She missed him a lot.

She was currently returning from work at a client's house that wasn't too far from hers.

As she pulled up into their driveway she saw Harry's car. She felt a smile creeping up on her face.
She quickly got out of the car and jogged up to the front door.

She opened it and got inside looking for Harry. She found him out at the pool talking to...Molly.

Liv wasn't infuriated she just felt she was hanging around way too much.

"Molly...you're here" she says getting their attention

"Babe" Harry's face lights up at the sight of his beautiful girl.

He hugs her and kisses her.

"Hi. I saw Harry on my way from the market so I said why not drop by." She says.

'Except, you've been doing too many drop by's'  she thinks.

"Oh ok." She says.

"And I brought you a gift" she says. She brings out a wrapped present from her paper bag. She hands it to Harry and he thanks her.

"Well I'm gonna be on my way out" she stands up and hugs Harry.

Liv just waves her off. She leaves and Liv starts to talk when she heard the front door click.

Harry hugs Liv again and this time he continued by kissing down her neck.

She pulled away.

"What's wrong this time?" He asks obviously seeing that something was bugging his girlfriend who was currently walking back into the house

"I mean...don't you think she's everywhere?" Liv says

"Who? Molly?" He asks.

"Yes Molly." She says.
Harry scoffs

"Really? What is your problem" he says

"My problem is that she's always here. We came here to have our own privacy but here we are hanging out with our neighbors 24/7" she complains.

"What's the wrong in someone caring for us. She brings us gifts, she's nice. What bad has she done? Can you just not be such a hypocrite for once in your life" Harry yells

"Are you seriously taking her side?" She questions

"Yes! I am! She's just a nice girl who happens to care a lot. And plus I don't think she's got many friends around here" Harry defends

"Oh please! She's lived here all her life!" She scoffs

"You're so jealous! Can't you see that she just wants to be nice? She just wants a friend. And here you are getting all jealous because she just wants to befriend us!" Harry yells.

Liv just stands there quiet. She turns around and starts walking away from him. She takes her handbag that she kept on the kitchen counter.

"Liv! I'm talking to you! Olivia!" Harry shouts but she ignores him.

"Have fun sleeping in the guest room!" She yells as she walks up the stairs.

"Oh I can't wait!" Harry says sarcastically.

'Is he bloody serious?' She thought to herself as she shuts their bedroom door. She didn't want to talk to him right now. After he lowkey insulted her.
