Novel & Cerita Behind Her

I heard her behind me before the door shut. No….

Because her grip was not too firm. At that time, she heard Adrian's voice from behind them. "Leave her."

She’d done that to her. She froze when she sensed who was behind her. “What shit did Britney drop you in, Layla?”

Why couldn’t she just say it? “Did you suddenly become dumb?!” I swear I was losing it. Perhaps it was a mistake giving her this kind of job. She looked afraid and it was obvious she couldn’t do it. I will surely punish her for this. And find another maid to do it. Suddenly, she grasped my arm and said with a whisper tone I barely heard. “Someone is behind us.” “What?” I asked, looking confused. Then she spoke louder. “Someone-is-behind-us.”

she said. "Yes." "*Behind us*," she said, putting weight on every word, "means physically, temporally, and in every other sense of the word behind us. It does not mean heroically, stupidly, in a way that results in me having to come back for you." "Zara." "I'm being very specific because you have a history..." "Zara." She turned and looked at me. The argument went somewhere, not gone, stored, she'd retrieve it later with interest and I'd deserve every word of it.

However, they’re all tall…much taller than her small five foot frame. Against my better judgment, when she decides to call it a night, I follow her. Not close, but close enough to keep her in my view. Willpower to stay away from her is fading rapidly, quicker than I hoped. Any logic I have left disappears. Without even realizing it, I find myself standing right behind her as she stands by her car door. There was no intention of me allowing my reflection to be spotted in her window, but as she scans her own image, there’s no missing mine hovering behind.

She called again and moved to knock when she froze at the sound of a voice behind her. "What are you?"

Little did she know that someone had spoken in a deep voice behind her. "You think we didn't notice you, Miss?"

She looked down at Sebastian, who was still hiding behind her back, and then back at Alexander. "I don't know if I'm ready for that," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
