I'm Only One Call Away Novels & Stories

**No Caller ID. I hesitated. Only Paula and Maryam had my number. A tinge of anxiety twisted in my chest. What if it was Maryam? We were supposed to meet at Downtown to head to the new apartment. She usually finished work by 6 PM, and we had agreed to meet at 9. Maybe something had happened. Swallowing the knot in my throat, I swiped the call. “I’m watching you,” a deep voice whispered. Cold. Male. Almost robotic, like it was run through a filter or… an AI.

Not a text this time. A call.

Whеn уоu’rе not wоrkіng thе ѕtrееtѕ іt’ѕ easy tо gеt lаzу, but I hаvеn’t. Mу phone screen lights uр whеn іt hаѕ enough роwеr. I have ѕоmе mіѕѕеd calls from Cаrrіе. Without lіѕtеnіng tо thе mеѕѕаgеѕ, I call hеr bасk. “Hеу, hоw’ѕ it gоіng?” “Blаkе, who thе hеll іѕ Nеоn Lips?”

I walk over to my phone which is still ringing, in a bit of annoyance. I find it's my assistant who's calling and my brows crease. on the top left corner of my phone, it says it's 09:15 pm. Why is she calling by this time? I pick the call and pull the phone to my ear. My heart stops when I hear her panicked voice. "Ma'am, our building is on fire! "She says, and my phone falls out of my hand. song for the moment; One Call Away by Charlie puth.

" Is it not you?" " What?" " You are the one , right? The one i gave my contact card to. I was there a few moments ago to check out camD7. " The voice giggled on the other side. " It is you. I have confirmed. " " So, why have you called me?" " We may have some information for you at the moment. Can you make it back here ?" " Yes, I can make it. Give me some time. " " How long?"

"Thanks a lot, nanny, but for now I want to stay beside my father." "Okay. Excuse me then." She walks out. I fish out my phone from the purse which hasn't stopped vibrating since I got hold of the purse, and there is only one person who would call like this. Damian! And his name is clearly displayed on the video call screen.

I roll my eyes and slap her hands off my cheeks, "You're just as rude as your mate!" "Well, you're wrong. I'm more nice than him! He's a playboy," "Well, you aren't a lover girl either. You've got multiple guys ca-"I get interrupted by Charlie Puth's One Call Away which happens to be her ringtone. See what I was talking about? "-calling you, " I complete my statement as she takes her phone. Reading the screen, she rolls her eyes up at me, "It's Sage." Wha-

Then I hit call. The phone rang. Once. Twice. My heart pounded as I waited. Please answer. Please.
