EVRIA SIGRID'S POV
Alyss was really happy to see me the next day at work.
We gisted so much at the hospital cafeteria.
She reminded me 'her boyfriend' is celebrating his birthday on the 24th of this month.
Kessler.
She asked if Grian came later on, and I told her he didn't but he did came yesterday and made up for not coming the previous day.
She shrugged.
We were almost done eating when I remembered someone.
The guy, Joy.
“I saw him yesterday.” I said.
She narrowed her eyes confusely at me.
“Who?” She asked.
“Joy.” I said.
She gasped, “He came into your house again?”
“No. I saw him on the street with some kids
while I was coming back from the shopping
mall.” I said.
She shook her head. “He's cute.” She said.
I chuckled.
“I've never seen an adult act so childish.” I
said.
“You are a doctor.” Alyss said and pouted her lips.
“Yeah but I've not seen it.” I said.
“So what are you tryna say here?” She focused her eyes at me.
Suspiciously.
I rolled my eyes, “Why looking at me that way?”
“Nothing.” She replied and still kept staring at me.
“Oh Alyss—” I rolled my eyes again.
“Are you thinking of helping him out of this?”
She asked.
I chuckled.
“I don't know him. I've not even gone close to him.” I said.
She smiled, “Evie, but joke apart. That Joy is
quite handsome.” Alyss said.
I laughed.
“Comot here. Everyone is always handsome to you.” I said and she laughed.
After lunch with Alyss, I went back to work.
After work, I drove home.
I was still on my way when I recieved a text
message from Grian that he can't make it
tonight anymore.
That he's not yet back from work.
Grian works in a big pharmaceutical company and I guess I understand how hard
pharmaceutical company workers work.
I can't blame him.
But I sighed, knowing I would miss him so well tonight.
I got to the house and once I got in, it was
totally dark.
I located the switch and switched the lights on.
I scanned around before walking to my room.
I got in and switched the room lights on as
well.
I dropped my bag on the bed and sat down,
breathing in then out.
I pulled off my shoes and squeezed my toes.
I felt kind of tired and so I layed down with
my feet on the tile floor.
I wasn't hungry and I dont wanna go to the
kitchen either.
I managed myself to the bathroom and had my shower and pulled into a pink nightie that
barely reached my thigh with a very slim
sleeve.
It's a little transparent but not so much.
I pulled into my flip-flop, took my phone and
walked out to the sitting room.
I wanna watch TV for awhile before I go back inside to work on some files.
I sat down on the pink single sofa, going with my nightie.
The seats are just four.
A pourple three-sitter couch, another green
three-sitter couch, a blue two-sitter couch and a pink single sofa.
I crossed my legs taking the remote from
the table, I switched on the TV and few
minutes later, a movie came in.
I changed it onto something more entertaining.
Thirty minutes into the show, I began to feel
asleep.
I rubbed my eyes, and switched off the TV.
I got some files to work on. I can't sleep yet.
I stood up, switched off the lights, leaving just a dim one on and was about taking a step towards my room, when I think I heard a noise outside.
I stopped and listened.
The noise came again and I realized it was at the gate. Someone was knocking.
My heart skipped and I looked at the wall
clock.
10:15 PM.
The knocks came in again, more loud now.
Who must that be, God.
Thieves? Kidnappers? Killers?
I placed my hands on my chest as it was
already beating loudly.
I switched on my phone touch and after that, I switched off the dim light.
I took another step and the knock was now
much.
I didn't know what to do.
I was freaking scared, but I turned and opened the door.
The knock was loud now and continuous.
I slowly closed my door. The outside lights
were on.
Slowly I began walking to the gate.
I haven't even gotten to the gate when I
sighted a fair skin through a little lock hole at the gate.
That was when it downed on me that I have
nothing to protect me.
Not even a kitchen knife.
I didn't put off my phone touch but I covered
it a bit from flashing too much.
Finally, I got to the gate and bringing my eyes really close at the lock hole.
I saw a fair skinned and the sleeve of his shirt can be read.
Joy?
The knocks began again.
I swallowed.
“Who are you!?” I asked trying to sound
fearless.
“Madame, h-help me. Please help me.” He said in a childish tone.
“Who are you?!” I yelled, though I knew it was Joy already.
“I am Joy, don't you know my name?” He said.
