Bloody Lips

Episode 11

ALEXANDRA POV :

“Hello. I am Alex Ronald. I have sent a mail?”

“Oh yeah Alex. Yeah yeah. Come meet me at 6 today at my place. What you say?”

“Yeah. It’s fine. Umm I’ll see you then “

“Okay bye. Takecare “

“Yeah.. Bye”

I hung up my phone. I was talking to my i-hope-so new flat mate. No I am not inviting anyone here but I am thinking of moving to other flat maybe for temporary.

Let me clear the confusion.

After i had enjoyed my oh so heaven cupcakes, my senses came back to me that there were cupcakes in my apartment in front of me with my pillow and bedsheet by my side. 2

I am sure that now i didn’t do that and how do i know that?

Flashback :

“Hey officer! ” I call out at the officer who are stationed at my apartment. I am happy to see that Lary still have them to watch over me.

“Yeah ma’am” , he says. Okay now how am I gonna ask him that does he saw me going out at night and bringing the brown packet?

I will look like a fool. Oh Lord… 1

I take a deep breath.

“Umm well I can’t remember something will you help me? Well I don’t remember that had i went out at night and brought something? Because I can’t find it? It is very expensive and I can’t buy it again?” 39

Wow.. Just wow.

My everything statement looks like a question and i must add stupid questions.

The officer looks at me strangely. I know i know , just don’t look at me like that.

I snap at him in my head.

“Uhh.. No.. I was the one who was patrolling and no i didn’t see you. “

“Are you sure?” I ask again hopefully.

May be he saw me, and it was just me. 1

“Yes.hey ma’am are you hiding something? You have to tell us if something had happened.. ” he looks at me with cautious and great attention, trying to catch my lie.

Oh shit.. Stay calm. Stay calm.

But why stay calm?

Because no one will believe you. But there were cupcakes, I have the proof. 35

And where are the cupcakes now? My subconscious snigger at me. 17

In my tummy. 26

I am going to vomit. 14

Fuck.

I run back to my apartment with the officer yelling my name behind me.

I throw up till my stomach is empty. What the waste of my cupcakes. . I shake my head. 15

After I cleaned up, I sit on the couch and think what to do now.

I am calm, i am chill. 6

I laugh at my own thoughts. 3

How can i be fucking calm? With that tears start to flow down my eyes. 15

I wipe them with weak hand and lay my head back on the couch. 8

Looking up at the ceiling.

Maybe i should leave this city.. no.. I am going to leave this country. 13

But then i have to leave everything i have built for myself. My job , my life and everything.

Maybe Justin also. Where this thought even came from? Because maybe he has started to become a part of your life.

No.

No. I can’t let anyone effect my life. Whether it is Justin or the bloody stalker.

I can’t move my life from here to any other country. But i can change my place .

Yes that’s it…

But what if the stalker come there also? Who knows he can be following me every where. 5

What I am going to do. 3

I close my eyes. I can feel a headache starting to crawl over my head. I press my hands on my head

Maybe I have to be cautious. Or maybe I can move just for temporary so that I don’t have to move my stuff.

Just some clothing and important stuff I can come back time to time for them.

Yes it will work, i hope this will work.. In this way he won’t think I am going anywhere.. And I have to change routes to reach there so if by any chance he will be following me, I loose him in the way.

I open my eyes and with new determination, fire up my laptop to hunt down a living place.

End of flashback

I sigh and finish my packing in a duffel bag.. I zip it up and then the bell starts going off.

I walk toward the door and open it to find Lary and Jones standing there.. Uh oh..

“Hey Lary. Jones. What are you guys doing here? “

“We are here to check on you. Tom told me you were asking him that had he seen you yesterday night…” Jones trails off , narrowing his eyes on me..

“Yeah. Yeah. He told you why? Right? That’s the reason.” I smile at them, hoping they buy it.

“Ehmm.. Won’t you invite us in? ” Lary asks me.

“Oh sorry. Please come..” I say,moving out of the way.

They both enter and look around before sitting on the couch.

“You haven’t gone to work today?” She asks.

“No. I was just not feeling good today. “

“Why? Are you sick?”

“No.. It is just—” my sentence gets cut off by my bell.

Trnnnnggggggg…

I move toward the door, while thinking I’m am having many visitors nowadays. I shake my head before opening the door.

“Hey beautiful.” Justin says. I look at him, wide eyes. 18

No no no what is he doing here? 5

Shit.

Lary and Jones are here.

Justin will ask me why I have officers here .

What am I going to say?

Or maybe I won’t let him come in.

Yes.

I lean against my door frame casually,hoping it looks casually but whatever.

“Hello Justin. What are you doing here? ” I ask him.

He looks at me with a raised eyebrow then rolls his eyes and pushes past me in the house.

What the hell.. He always invites himself without permission.

I follow him inside thinking of what to say. He can’t know I have a stalker or may be he is the stalker.

Ughhh it is so confusing..

“Uhh.. What are two police officers doing here?” Justin asks, while looking at both of them.

I look at Lary and Jones to find them staring down at Justin.

“Uhh they are my friends.” I lie.

“Both? Are your Friends? ” he asks looking at me , suspiciously. I look at Lary, giving her a look.

“Yeah why can’t we be her friends?” Lary says while laughing. I smile at her. 13

“Ohh then, hey I am Justin.. ” He introduces himself to both of them.

Lary shakes his hand while Jones just nod at them. 8

“Can I talk to you for a minute after that we will be going, Alex? ” Lary asks me.

“Yeah sure. ” I say while looking at Justin who is also looking at me , intently.

I take Lary to my room before closing the door. I turn around to find her holding my duffel bag and looking at me expectantly.

Uhoh..

“You going somewhere?” She asks.

“Yes- I mean no. No. I am just uhh just visiting my friend.. She is ill so I’m staying at her house for a while. ” i lie hoping i don’t get caught.

“Friend? But i remember that you don’t have any friend. Don’t you? “

Fuckkkkkkk…. Think something.

“Yes.. I don’t huh.. She works at my office. So we have known each other for quite some time. She is ill and she lives alone also. I know how it feels like living alone so I think I should help her out. “

“That’s so nice of you,Alex-” pheww.

“-But are you sure? You are not hiding anything?”

“Yeah positive”

“Ok. Then how is your meeting going with Mr.Mark? “

“Yeah it is going ok. It feels better after taking sessions with him ” i tell her honestly.

“That’s good to hear, honey but now do you feel like he Is still there ? I mean the stalker? “

What should I say now?

Should I tell her or not that he had given me cupcakes and the note with my lipstick.

But again i don’t have proof, I remove the notes and the cupcakes were first in my tummy now will be probably in the gutter.

“Uh no.. I am not having those feelings that he is t-there.” 2

‘Now you just hope your lie will not be the reason of your death you dumb liar. ‘ my subconscious snarls

God .. Save me..
