I picked up my phone to continue recording my trip on a live post I made on I*******m.I and my boyfriend, Xanvier decided to have a fresh start in the city of Milan, a place far away from Mexico- Our country.
Xanvier had just gotten a new job at TK designer associate while I was offered a partnership deal with a fashion line as a model.
"Hello, my beloved fans". I waved and smiled at the camera as I spun it around, making sure I capture the tall trees hanging over our car, the old, rusty mail boxes on the road side, and the dirt, and gravel road ahead.
"It's time for a fresh start. Guess where we are?.
"Yes, Milan!!!".
"I and my boyfriend are going to begin a new life here, and you'll be...'"
Boom!!!
My phone slipped off and my long hair Cascaded around the glove compartment as the car abruptly halt.
"What the heck happened?". I asked, feeling slightly disoriented.
" Erm... Must have been a punctured tire?". He said, forcing a smile as he slicks out of the car.
Was he asking or just saying?.
Anyways, I took a swift lolk at my reflection on the rear mirror, glad that my make up wasn't ruined.
Thank God!.
I began to search for my phone, and from the corner of my eye, a figure ran out of the wood and into the abandoned play ground at the other side of the road.
I think it was on all fours.
My head swayed to the direction on reflex, my eyes instantly glued to the dangling swings as if I was searching for something interesting - it felt weird. Like I was hypnotized.
Suddenly, the door slammed, snapping me out of my zombie zone.
"I am so sorry, didn't mean to startle you". Xavier muttered, staring at me with his cute hazel eyes.
Something in his eyes made me feel safe and I smiled at him.
"It's okay, babe". I am just tired and all...
He cups my face and gives me a quick peck.
"We will soon get home, princess".
Then he fixed his seat belt and sped off. I never told him what I saw.
Xanvier's pov I watched her as she sleeps gently, wrapping herself like a baby. She looks peaceful. I thought back at the incident that occured earlier and wondered what made her feel like that. I began to think we made a mistake on coming here for something new - Sandra is changing. I drew in a heavy breathe as I dragged myself out of the bed, gently so as not to wake her. Part of my treat last night was to make breakfast in bed for her, and what she went through is enough boost for my lazy self. I strode to the living room with nothing but my tight pants. Memories of our little adventure flooded my mind as I walked down the stairs. Happily. My phone buzzed halfway into my cooking and when I picked it up it was my boss. I was excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because it's been a while I heard his voice, even though we talked yesterday. Nervous because it's a work free day. A Saturday. "Hello! Sir". I greeted with a strong bass.
Xanvier's pov I was met with emptiness when I tried to cuddle Sandra. I forced my eyes open as I turned back to see just her pillow. I sat up and saw her silhouette before tracing it to the window. There she stood, her petite frame trembling under the moon rays. "Why is she standing like that?" I wondered. Her eyes glued to the curtains as her grip threatens to rip it apart. "Sandra", I called but no reply. "Sandra". I called again, this time a little louder. She didn't move, not even a blink. I panicked. I stood up and strolled towards her. Naked. I called her again before I tapped her. "Please don't kill me". She shouted as she jerked. "Huh? ". That was the only word my mind could processs when she collapsed into me .Her heavy breath was intensed at that moment that the motherly instinct in me came alive - I embraced her. Sandra's PO
Sandra's pov.The shoveling sound across my window woke me up from sleep. At first, I thought I was hearing things, so I just laid on my belly, hoping that the sound will go away.It persisted."Who could be digging out dirts and gravel by this time of the night?. And why is he doing it at my house?". I thought.I turned on my back and looked at Xanvier sleeping peacefully. How he sleeps through storms and earthquakes marvels me. I stretched my eyes to drag the alarm clock sitting on the table. The table is close to the bed, so I didn't stress myself much and I was careful not to push down the keys.12:15amWhat the f...?I covered my mouth to stop the sound from flowing outI sat up immediately."Maybe, I didn't read the time well".The only source of light in the room was the moonlight, glowing in her glory.I titled the clock to the direction i thought the light was the br
*Xanvier's pov*I smiled like a school boy as I held the candles as though they were candies. Few nights ago at Mexico, I planned something similar, but Sandra stayed up late at work. Tonight, it's going to as planned, I feel it already."One, two, three..." I counted as I placed candle on each stair. I continued like that until I reached the bedroom. I hurriedly downstairs to lit it and back inside the room to make the bed. I was super excited. I checked my drawer for the pack of condoms I bought earlier, took it out and placed it on th the bed for easy access."Wow! Look at this beautiful". Referring to the heart-shaped roses on the bed. I smacked my lips before making my way to my love.*Sandra's pov*I returned to my food as soon as he left, halfway through enjoying my meal, the sudden fear of being alone wrapped me.I started looking around in fear, afraid that something
Xanvier's POVI look up from the glass of wine to see her effortlessly looking sexy in her night gown. She stood at the entrance of the dining room, surprised at the amount of food on the table.I smiled.Every little thing she does set my soul on fire.''You did all these?" She asked as she settled on the chair in front of mine."Yup. And there's more to come". I grinned, getting proud of what I have been able to pull by myself.I planned tonight to be beautiful for us. To encourage ourselves for the feat we have achieved together."Cheers to our new life ". I raised a half filled glass to the air. Sandra raised her's which i had already filled and we clunk."Cheers!". She smiled sweetly at me.At that moment, I noticed how her brown eyes looks similar to that of my boss, even the colour of her hair. Strange I never noticed these things until my encounter with the boss."You have a beaut
Sandra's pov Bang! Bang!! The sound seems to be coming from the basement. My bag slipped off at the third sound. I could hear my heart beating so fast as goosebumps wash over my body. Not again! Ever since I came here, it's been one horrifying incident to another. Bang!!!! My body resonated with the sound as I feel another bolt of adrenaline shooting through me. Somehow, I manage to take long strides to the kitchen and pick up a knife as defence. I heard footsteps and hide by the kitchen wall, ready to attack my assailant "Jesus Christ!". Petrified Xanvier screamed as I almost stab him. I dropped the knife and hold him tightly, sobing in his shoulders. "Shh! It's okay, baby". He said, patting my head. I stayed like that for a while gathering myself together. "What was that loud sound?". I asked, sniffing and wiping my nostrils as I rais
