5 : IN CONFUSED MOMENTS

“Hello beautiful” a guy said to Yvonne as she sat down in the hotel’s cinema watching a movie with a bottle of Hennessey. She turned her head and looked at him then turned to face the cinema TV

“What do you want?” she asked

“I was sitting over there and was just wondering why a beautiful girl like you would be sitting at the back here all alone” he said smiling, she looked at him again then looked at the TV then sipped from her bottle—his line were lame and unimpressive

“So after wondering you decided to come do what exactly?” she said then sipping from the bottle

“Actually, I came to relax with you and chat” he said smiling

“Don’t you think relaxing with me might be regrettable?” she said without looking at him and the smile on his face disappeared

“Excuse me?” he said

“Of Cause you are excused” she said

“I think you are taking too much of that alcohol” he said and she looked at the bottle

“I think you are right, here have some” she said giving him the bottle

“No thanks” he replied

“Ok, you don’t drink right?” she asked him. From the way she spoke she was already getting drunk, the signs were kicking in

“You are drunk” he said

“No you are drunk” she replied instantly

“No am not” he said

“I think you are because if you are not, you wouldn’t be sitting your ass over there and start wondering why am alone here” she said

“Your alcohol is too much” he said trying to collect the bottle

“Don’t you dare” she said and he pulled back

“Look I am just here as a friend” he said

“You see what am saying? You are drunk because if you weren’t you would understand that the reason this beautiful lady is sitting here all alone is because she wants to be left alone and if I needed a guy I would call for one and definitely not you” she said

“You are crazy” he said and walked away

“Your mother is crazy” she replied

“Idiat” she chuckled

“And I am even more drunk to have listened to you wondering about me” she said to herself, after sometime she left the cinema room

Yvonne was just coming back from the hotel’s cinema room, she walked to her room door sluggishly then opened her bag brought out the key and it dropped from her hand, she bent down and picked it up & opened the door, the living room was dark so she put on the lights; she turned to look at the time it was 9:15pm, she walked to her bed side and saw a paper on the floor she picked it up and opened it; it was a phone number, she looked at it & read it but didn’t recognize/know the number and under the number was written “call this if you need help”

“What the hell is this?” she questioned

“How did this get here?” she said but she looked uninterested in it, she threw it in her waste basket, she just finished eating and she was tired, she turned on the A.C cause the room was hot, she laid on the bed to sleep, she closed her eyes to sleep then the event that occurred earlier came to her mind, she remembered the stranger but couldn’t see his face, she recalled seeing herself in front of her gate in her car, then she slept off, suddenly she saw herself on 3rd mainland bridge and the sun was hot she could feel it on her skin, suddenly there was a trailer coming towards her so fast , it appeared to have lost control and before she could run the trailer hit her off the bridge and she immediately opened her eyes & got up from the bed, she was sweating even in the A.C, she was surprised that she had started dreaming so quickly. She set her feet down the bed but stepped on something; she looked down and saw that same piece of paper, she picked it opened it and the same number again

“How did it get here again?” now she was a little worried, the alcohol was clearing off gradually, she went to the waste basket and looked inside and saw nothing, she squeezed it and threw it back in the basket and went back to her bed, then she heard the sound of water in her bathroom, she almost freaked out, slowly she stood up and walked to the door of the bathroom, she suddenly became scared of opening the door but she summoned courage and opened it after remembering that this was not a horror film and as she entered she could hear the sound coming from behind the shower curtains. She was scared but she walked over and opened the shower curtain and saw nothing. The shower was off, the tube was dry as bone

“Oh no Alcohol is playing on my intelligence” she said to her self as she held her head and walked back to her room and just beside the bed was the same paper waiting for her neatly folded like before

Now at this point the alcohol had cleared off her eyes, she paused in fear, she bent down and looked under the bed but nothing, she refused to pick the paper

“What is going on here?” she was scared and quickly went for the door but the door refused to open, she struggled but nothing and suddenly the lights went out

“Oh my God” her heart was racing, she was breathing heavily, sweating pushing out her fore head slowly, her pupils dilated in search of light and then suddenly a bright red light shined from the wall close to her bed, and directly facing her, she quickly blocked her eyes as she glued to the door with fear and then suddenly she saw a figure coming out of the light, it was so uncomfortable to watch; a short old lady figure with a crooked walking stick with something big on her head, Yvonne couldn’t see her face. Whatever was on the old lady’s head was looking like a living octopus. Yvonne was freaking out as the red light gave out enough heat and made her sweat. The old lady walked slowly towards Yvonne. Yvonne knew the woman was going to kill her she then tried to run but couldn’t move a foot, she tried to scream but couldn’t, she tried to shout and scream but it felt impossible as the old lady came closer, Yvonne had been completely paralyzed…
