As I got to the apartment door,I could hear giggling from the inside.
"what's going on in there".
I knocked the door *knock knock knock*.
"Who is it?".
"it's the landlord".
"Nora?".
"yes can you open the door".
"I'm coming!!".
She rushed to open the door.
" Nora what are you doing here?".
"Hi Nora".
Then I saw Gabriel shirtless in the house and ooh my he was ripped Tina really gets the good guys,I was practically drooling.
"Nora?".
"Hmmm yes Tina".
"what are you doing here?".
"ooh nothing,can you excuse us for a moment Gabriel".
"Of course take your time".
Then I dragged Tina away.
"Tina you just met this guy".
"I know".
"so why is he shirtless in your living room I mean our living room".
"what do you mean our living room".
"well I'm moving in with you",she squealed with excitement.
"Tina!!!"I shook her.
"Yes Nora".
"Did you guys do anything".
"No No No I'm still a virgin".
"are you sure".
"yes"she chuckled.
"If you are still a virgin why is he shirtless in our living room".
"I spilled some water on his shirt when we came over so I told him to remove it so I could help him Dry it".
"ooh okay".
"Yh,lemme go meet Gabriel it's late already!".
"Okay no problem".
She came out of the corner to meet Gabriel,then I remembered what i wanted to tell Tina as I came out of the corner i saw Tina and Gabriel kissing.
I coughed.
"ooh Nora I was just leaving".
"Okay Bye",I waved to him Goodbye and locked the door.
"Tina I want to tell you something".
"what's that?".
Then I started telling her everything I saw and the nightmare I had.
"That sounds terrifying".
"Yh".
"you know your mind can just be playing tricks with you,because you are weak and just came back from the hospital I think you should rest".
"Maybe!" .
"so Italy",Tina looked at me with a mischievous grin.
"Tina what's wrong, why are smiling like a weirdo?".
"you are going to Italy".
"Yh but I'm going there to work".
"but still you will be with bunch of rich people,sleeping in fancy hotels and not to mention you are going Italy,the city of love maybe just maybe you will see your partner there".
"Tina",she giggled and I rolled my eyes.
"Tina I'll go to my other apartment early in the morning to take my clothes and other things".
"okay so Nori,have you eaten?".
"Nope".
"good",then she dragged me into the kitchen and I saw lots of takeout filled with sushi and some African foods.
"Tina is this fufu?".
"It's actually pounded yam its from Nigeria".I was smiling from ear to ear
"this is egusi right?".
"Yes Nora".
"ooh thank you Tina ",I gave her a tight hug.
"Nora you are chocking me".
"Sorry".
"no problem but after you done eating you take your medicine and then sleep okay".
"Yes ma".
When I was done eating Tina brought me my medicine,I took it and feel asleep not to long after using it.
Then it happened again but this time I could talk but I was still trapped in that corner I was screaming,Mr smith was still levitating towards me, I didn't know to do.
I started screaming louder ,then I noticed no sound came out of my mouths again he moved closer and closer.
Then I woke,I was sweating like crazy and my heart couldn't stop pounding, I was terrified so I made a decision after the business trip I'll go for therapy.
I checked the time it was 6 in the morning ,I decided to freshen up and go to my former apartment I didn't want to disturb Tina so I gave her a light kiss on her forehead and then left the apartment.
On my way out I got a call from Mr smith.
"Good morning sir".
"Hello Miss Nora,where are you".
"I'm at home sir".
@okay I'm coming to pick you because I don't want you delaying me".
"okay sir".
"30 mins and I'll be there,I want you to pack some gowns with a long slit and other clothes but you must have a lot of gowns okay and again we will be staying there for two weeks,don't forget the documents ",then he hanged up.
"I'm guessing I'll have to steal some of Tina's gown".
I went back into the apartment and toke some of Tina's gowns.
"long slits he said" I scoffed.
I packed them into my bag and hurried to my former apartment which was like a 10mins drive back and forth.
20MINS later
I got back to Tina's apartment and wore my baggy clothes and I also stole some of Tina's perfume since I didn't have any.Then I woke Tina after stealing all her things.
"babe?,Gabriel is that you",she placed her hand on my face bringing it closer to her face.
"TINA NOOO NOOO IT'S NORA NORA".
"Nora?".
"Yes so I'm hand me this minute".
"Okay okay,Are you going out".
"yes!".
"where!?" She sat up right.
"Italy business trip remember".
"ooh Yh so have you packed your things and the documents?!".
"ooh Yh I knew I forgot something I"kept the documents in my bag.
"Nora your laptop".
"okay thank you got them all".
"Good"
Then we heard a loud honk from the outside to see Mr smith outside of his car .
"Okay Tina bye and also I'm staying in Italy for two weeks!".
"two weeks!",I could see the shock on Tina's face as I dragged my suitcase to Mr Smith's car.
I waved Good bye to my bestie and Mr smith started driving,I started working on the finishing touches of the documents.
30mins later
We reached the Airport,I saw two tall muscular men waiting for us I was guessing those were his bodyguards,They led us into a plane,I thought we were going to go in a public plane maybe first class,but this man had a freaking private jet, I knew he was rich but not filthy rich.
We got into the plane and took off some minutes after,Mr Smith was on his phone through out the flight,we didn't talk through out the flight,he was always on his phone.
So I decided to take a lil nap,but I couldn't sleep because the images of Mr smith kept replaying itself the red eyes,the blood coming from his mouth.
So instead of napping I took my laptop and started watching a movie,I caught Mr Smith staring at me a few times, but I didn't think much into it.
Just kept watching my movie.the hostess,brought our food and the plane food was actually pretty good,after eating I decided to use my medicine.
Then I discovered I left them at home,so I put on my EarPods and called Tina.
"Tina I forgot my medicine at home can you send the pic of it so I can get it over here".
"Calm down Nora,How's Italy",
"we haven't gotten to Italy we are still on the plane when we down I'll call you back".
"okay then I'll send them to you"Bye","and have some fun","yes!! Tina",I ended the call.
I looked at My Boss,Mr smith,Before I knew it I was admiring his beauty,those gray eyes were so beautiful and his jawline was so perfect his dark curly hair was so perfect,and his height was just muah.
"Miss Nora?",then I saw Mr smith looking at me with scowl on his face
"Miss Nora?"
"yes sir"
"What are you looking at".
"nothing sir",he scoffed and went back to whatever he was doing on his phone then I decided to do the same.
As I was scrolling on the latest gossip aka the news,I saw the girl My boss girlfriends dead body,I looked at my boss,and a chill went down my spine,the report said that the girl who's name was Amanda,died from loss of blood.
Technically they found no blood in her body,she was a empty corpse,which was the same condition my parents were in,no blood in there body they were all empty bodies.
My body started shaking out of fear, what if my boss is not who he seems to be,then I got a text from a random number.
"Hello is this Miss Nora?".
"yes it is how may I help you?".
"this is Doctor Damon just wanted to ask how you were feeling".
"I'm doing great Doctor Damon thanks for asking".
"that's nice"
"yes",
"Miss Nora are you perhaps busy at the moment".
"kinda!"
"I was wondering maybe when you are less busy could take you out to dinner?".
"unfortunately i went for a business trip maybe when I get back?".
"okay no problem, when will you be back".
"in two weeks".
"okay no problem,hope you have been using your medications".
"yes I have Doctor Damon".
"you can call me Damon,Miss Nora".
"and you can call me Nora,Damon"we giggled. We kept talking through out the flight and I felt less lonely.
Few hours later
We reached Italy,I was amused by the beautiful city,then a black jeep came to pick me and Mr Smith up from the airport.
Everywhere was beautiful and since it was my first time leaving my country,I've only been to different states in my country,we got to the hotel some minutes later,it was super duper fancy.
The only time I went to a fancy place was at Tina's rich ex boyfriend birthday party,the hotel was as assuming from the inside as Well as from the outside ,then we went to the counter to get our rooms.
"Good afternoon Sir,how may I help you".
"I'm Mr smith I booked two rooms last night we will be staying there for two weeks".
"okay Mr smith, we only have one room available".
"what do you mean one room",Mr smith said it with visible annoyance on his face"
.
"we overbooked this morning and might have booked one of your rooms by accident".
"I'll have to speak to your manager this is so unprofessional".then Mr smith looked at me and then the receptionist and said.
"didn't you hear me go call your manager",the receptionist hurried and called her manager.
Few minutes later
The manager came out and was stunned to see Mr smith
"Mr smith?!",Mr smith looked at him with distain in his eyes,the manager stretched his hand ready to greet him,Mr Smith looked at his hand.
"are you the manager?",Mr smith asked,the manager pulled his hand back.
"yes sir,its an honor to have you here sir ,we are really sorry for the inconvenience we have caused you and your wife", I came forward and told him we are not dating.
"Ooh my bad".
Mr smith showed a little discomfort.
"what are you going to do about our rooms".
"so we are overbooked because of the wedding going on here and they will be staying for three weeks".
"Hmmm just give us the key".
They gave us the key and we pulled our suitcase to our room which was on the third floor of the hotel, it was a spacious room with a king sized mattress it was a presidential suite they even had those very expensive Dubai chocolate.
Mr smith went out so I had the room to myself since the meeting was in 3 hours I went to freshen up and apply makeup
It was my first time wearing makeup, so I was watching a tutorial on the web, when I looked in the mirror I was proud of myself I looked really pretty,I mean I'm pretty naturally to with my bright blue eyes and long black wavy hair and flawless skin and bright pink lips,I'm practically a walking Barbie doll.
Then I wore my gown when I say mine I meant the one I stole from Tina,it was a little a tight which was kinda good cuz it brought out my curves and I wore my heels they are mine tho.
I looked like a freaking model as I was admiring my beauty I heard a little knock I went to open the door to see Mr Smith.
He looked stunned*hmm hmm*,he cleared his throat.
"Nora you look nice".
"Thank you sir",I blushed a little then he walked in,then he wore his suit and we went to a pretty fancy restaurant.
We saw the client and they also assumed we were a couple,the client had a Italian accent and they were really friendly.
We closed the deal few hours later,we were now partners and also we were kinda like friends now, as we were going I scratched my leg but I didn't think too much about it,as we got to the hotel room,I saw mr Smith looking at my legs intently,it gave me the chills and I looked at it my self to see my leg was bleeding
I looked up again and I saw Mr Smith eyes weren't gray again but a deep red color.
