"It's almost the end of our contact," Dennis said.Shana just nodded and looked away, unable to look at Dennis. She was afraid that if she looked at Dennis her tears would flow."We need to discuss this. Whether to continue or just end. In my opinion, we continue until we know exactly who wants to harm you."Shana looked up at him with teary-eyed eyes. "I think that's best"After that Dennis placed his hand on Shana's shoulder and gave her a gentle pat.The pair headed downstairs and took their seats at the table. They both had a silent and awkward meal together. The atmosphere between the couple wasn't tense. It was more like a tense silence. Neither of them wanted to talk but neither was willing to leave the table and go their separate ways. Eventually, they both finished their meals and cleaned up before heading upstairs.As soon as they made it to Dennis' room, they both fell asleep on his bed. Both of them woke up to a call. They glanced at each other in question and Dennis rea
Dennis drove his car towards the apartment where Bethany lived. He had already thought about how he should deal with the matter. Once he arrived there he parked his car on a small side road that led towards a residential area.Dennis got out of his car and looked around him. All he could see was darkness surrounding him and not even a single light could be found anywhere. Even when night fell, the area seemed empty of any light source. After walking a few steps towards the entrance of the neighborhood, Dennis stopped midway. He sighed before turning back to face the direction of the house.Once there Dennis approached the door and knocked twice before hearing footsteps approaching the door. The steps grew closer and closer and then the door opened slowly revealing Bethany standing there.She wore sweatpants and a t-shirt. Her hair was tied back loosely and there were some dark circles under her eyes which Dennis found odd considering how late she had woken up that morning."Come in De
"Come here, baby". As Dennis spoke those words, Bethany turned towards him and said to Dennis, "I'll be right back", before walking past Shana towards the stairs. Shana stood rooted to her spot unable to move or look away. Before Bethany could reach the doorknob, Dennis pulled Bethany's hand. "You stay here. I want to show Shana what you told me yesterday" Dennis smirked. Shana was confused by what Dennis said. Instead of finding out about the tattoo on Bethany's hand, Dennis discussed about Shana with Bethany. What was he talking about with Bethany, she thought."What are you doing?" Shana asked him." We will start with your favorite parts," say Dennis ignoring Shana.Dennis started to play with Bethany's breasts. From right to left. Bethany squirming and panting. Dennis began to lick and suck on Bethany's nipples which seemed like it would leave marks on Bethany's skin. Shana stood watching them. Suddenly she felt an uncomfortable feeling."Why are you making me wait?" Bethany
After the incident, Shana decided to stay at her parent's house. The night breeze blew across Shana's skin causing goosebumps to appear on it. The sky was covered by thick dark clouds which were threatening rain any minute. Shana sat on the steps staring at the stars twinkling brightly as if mocking her. Her hands trembled as tears fell freely from her eyes. It has been more than twelve hours since she last saw Dennis and the thought of him leaving her alone made her heartache and her stomach turn. A soft warm hand gently wrapped around hers pulling Shana away from the cold steps."Hey."Shana looked into Dennis's eyes."Come inside and have some tea with me," said Dennis smiling softly.Without waiting for Shana to respond, Dennis led her towards the door of the porch of her parent's home. The porch had a swing attached to one side of the porch; a small table with two chairs sat in between the two swings. In the middle, there was a stone fireplace which provided warmth throughout th
"Okay. Come on." Dennis led the way to his car. He opened the trunk to reveal the box containing his things.Shana climbed inside the passenger seat and sat comfortably. Dennis handed her the box containing her belongings before taking his place behind the steering wheel.Dennis drove slowly towards Shana's home, the radio playing soft classical music which reminded him of her. Although he wasn't sure whether or not his thoughts were correct and if he should have done more for her, he felt that he deserved at least that much. He remembered the days he was alone and felt lonely and he wondered if there was any way he could find someone to take care of him. When he was at work, he usually kept himself busy and tried to avoid thinking about the fact that the person who would always be at his side will go left him. Shana looked outside the window as Dennis drove. The roads were empty. There were only the occasional cars and pedestrians walking along the sidewalks. Cars passed one another
Shana sat cross-legged on the chair on the balcony, waiting for Dennis to finish with his studies for his new role. She looked up to the sky and watched clouds rolling past each other."It looks beautiful here". Shana sighed. She placed the magazine on the table and turned around. As she observed the landscape around her, she smiled. She was enjoying the peace of the secluded garden behind the apartment. The trees surrounded her but did not touch the garden. The bushes were tall but not so tall that they would cause branches to fall down or even obstruct her view. Birds were chirping loudly; making the scene seem quite peaceful. The weather was nice today."Shana?", Dennis headed to the balcony and greeted.Shana rose to meet Dennis. He held a small box with a bouquet inside it. "For you", Dennis smiled. "It's a mix of red and purple hydrangeas", he said as he passed her the bouquet."Thank you" Shana took the flowers from him."It's pretty chilly outside, I thought you might like
The sun was beginning its descent below the horizon. The sky was turning into shades of orange and pink. It was quiet. Shana was leaning against the couch while Dennis was sitting beside her. He gently ran his hand through Shana's hair."Are you still mad?", asked Dennis quietly.Shana looked down and sighed. She nodded silently."I'm sorry", she mumbled."Don't apologize", Dennis whispered.Shana stayed silent and remained still. She continued watching Dennis running his fingers through her hair. She could feel herself getting sleepy."Sleep", Dennis whispered again.She slowly lowered her head onto the couch and fell asleep.***The next morning, Shana and Dennis go to the police station to give Mr.Martinez a picture of Erik. "What can we do?" asked Shana.Mr.Martinez was busy typing away at his keyboard. He turned to face Shana and Dennis, " I'll ask my subordinates to get some of our old files and search for Erik".A few minutes later, one of Mr.Martinez's assistants entered the
A short amount of days passed and Shana and Dennis were beginning to lose hope. Their searches hadn't produced any results nor had anyone else been able to identify Erik or his friends. The two of them were starting to give up and think that the best thing they could do to protect each other is wait for them to come for them. Both of them had decided that they would stay together during those times in order to ensure that nothing happens to each other. It wasn't necessary; however, it was nice to have some kind of reassurance. Shana had begun working on the computer and had started to search through the web searching software. She wanted to find a connection between Erik and Bethany. She kept on asking Dennis whenever there was a chance.She had also searched through newspapers and magazines searching for any possible news stories or reports about Erik. But no such articles appeared, so she began to focus on other things.She was looking into different cases regarding kidnapping. Sh
