The Life She Wished

PART THREE

I bid my goodbyes to Carl and Renee as i get in the house.

Knowing my parents are already asleep i head straight to my room

I lie on my back smiling as i recall the last conversation i had with Nigel

******
Flashback

"i know it's too soon but would you like to go on another date with me?" Nigel asks

"umm,sure," i answer "just download some manners from playstore by then," i jokingly add

He laughs.

His laugh was so captivating and so deep, i just stared at him in awe

"sure, I'll have some manners just for you" he says

End of flashback

*******

For a first date it sure went well enough. But i don't want to get my hopes high.

I change into my PJ's and hit the bed.

Sleep takes over in no time.

" Bri wake up!!! Briiiii, get your body out of bed woman!" a voice says

"how can it be already morning??? I just slept" i murmur as i open one eye

"seriously Renee, what's wrong with you...it's 7 in the morning. Have you become homeless this early??" i say sternly

"Jesus woman..you sleep too much. Go freshen up first, i have some news for you."

"the news better be good Renee, or else you'll regret it."

I freshen up and throw on some sweatpants and a T-shirt.

I have breakfast before Renee could begin talking.

Waking me up early in the morning is one thing, but making me stay on a hungry stomach is a another thing and you do not want to be close to me when hungry.

After breakfast we head back to the room.

"speak up," i say

Renee looks at me and weirdly smiles at me
That's when i sense something is not right

"remember the guy i dated in junior high?"

"yeah, Brad, who can ever forget him. He abused you, no shame at all,"

"he's ummmm.... You know...backintown."

"speak well Renee, i don't get you. He's what?? "

"BACK IN TOWN!!" she shouts

I stare at her dumbfounded
Nooo no no no, it can't be

"how.... , why, what for....but he... Wait, how did you know?"

"an anonymous text was sent to me last night saying 'I'm coming back to finish what i started' who else would send that Bri. I'm so scared, what do i do," she sobs

"it's okay, shhh don't cry, I'm here for you," i soothe her as i take her in my arms. "we'll find a way to avoid him, if he tries anything stupid we'll go to the police."

"okay"

We silently sit there and she falls asleep.
I gently lay her on the bed as i grab my phone to call Carl

"hey watsap, code red."

"what's wrong with Renee?" he immediately asks

Its so cute how he cares for her and still denies he likes her. I'll need to do something about it.
