• Never again   Shaken

  Linda I was walking down the passengers' lane. I could strongly feel I was being followed but when I turned I saw no one.I continued walking thinking maybe my paranoia and fear was out of today's episode of a full blown argument with Frank.About heading towards a corner ,a strong feminine hand grabbed me by my hair and clutched my throat."Hello,nice to finally meet you." A red_hair lady before me smiled dangerously at me."Who are you." I demanded.And I dare you hold me like that,but I was with my wit to know I had to hold my sharp tongue or get into trouble."You mean you don't know me little birdie." She said feigning disspointed." Don't fret or scream,unless you want me to slit your throat" she said bringing a knife to my throat.I gasped. She was going to hurt me."Who are you and why are you here?" I tried to keep the fear out of my voice."I'm Katherine. I'm sure you noticed the little

  Linda I woke up with the early morning sun blazing through the cottons. I opened my eyes to see the man in front of me. I had spent the night in Frank's house, a wondrous night of pleasure and satisfaction."If you're going to lay in bed all day then you are with the wrong man." Frank said, laughing. "Get up woman ,I know it's weekend but you have to have your breakfast."Weekend.Weekend means me spending time with my mom at the nursing home. I'd have to eat breakfast in a hurry if I would go visit mom."What time is it?" I asked ,trying to stiffle a yawn."It's already past eight.""Oh great." I grunted."C'mon let's get to the dinning and get you something in that your little stomach." He said slapping me on the buttocks."Bullocks!" "Blast!"."You've a filthy mouth Linda." He chided trying to surmiss a laugh. "Even if you want to curse ,can you do it quietly ,I don't want my house workers think

  LindaI sat in his car, smiling at the freshness of the air. I didn't know where he had in mind to take me. He hasn't said anything about where we're headed.We stop at a big duplex, I could even call it a mansion. Where is this place?"Welcome to my home Linda." Frank said smiling like a beautiful child that had just pleased his parents."Wow" was all I could say. This was the first time I have ever been to his house. My own apartment felt like a mushroom compared to his gigantic building. I wondered how he stays alone in this huge house. I'm sure servants and housekeepers were going to be around the house but still I wondered if he ever felt lonely."Frank it's beautiful!,it's an ideal house. How did you get the plan for it." I asked"Well I gave the architect what I wanted and together we produced this beauty." He said pointing to his home."How long have you had it. I mean since you came back to the country just

  LindaI layed on the bed confused to his sudden dismissal."Wait"!He turned just as he was about heading to the door."Can you stay with me , don't leave me." The words reminded me who had said them about seven years ago. I cringed at the memory of my late younger brother who had said the exact same words to me on that fateful night."Okay. I'm right here." Frank said scooting closer to me on the bed. My eyes kept drifting to his face ,like I could not believe he was there. I let myself drank him in, I looked my fill. The moment was beyond surreal ,and I wondered since how we must have appeared ,starring at each other in silence. I wanted to cry ,but not out of pain but because for once I felt I was being taken care of ,for once I felt someone was responsible for me ,for once I felt safe around someone, for once I felt it wasn't me against the world, for once I felt I had a simila

  FrankI drove her home making sure she got back safe.She welcomed me into her apartment . She was clearly spent. She needed a hot shower ,a good meal and a good sleep. I looked at her having arrived in her apartment. It felt cozy. The feel of it reminded me of home.I stared at her as she walked over to the couch to drop her bag. She was almost fragile , like anything could make her drop.I felt sorry she had to go through this with no one by her side. For split second I appreciated she had someone ,a friend like Peter. Even though I detest him because of how close he was with her,this moment I was glad she had someone who had her back at work. I've heard some nasty comments about her from her younger colleagues even though all was a big lie. They were only jealous of her competence and competitive spirit,her will power and her beautiful personality. Going to t

  Linda Frank has sent me more than a couple of emails today. He was worried sick about me after the last time that I got ambushed by some thugs he was always so cautious checking on me.He had asked me when I was going to be free I had replied at exactly one -thirty pm. I didn't know why he'd asked about my free time. I stood at the canteen where we get lunch very close to the museum annex chit chatting with Peter. He blabs on how 'Noeitic science ' is going to be the next night thing the world would hope for."So are you going to visit your mom this weekend?" Peter asked feeling concerned."Yes,sure. I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world.""Hmm,so that means you are going to be absent at the gala this Saturday night?"."Yes" I said almost sadly."Great! That means I'm going date-less. What is it with parties and tags ,dinners and dates" he scoffed"You know
