He feels like his mind would be torn apart that moment if he continued running, yet he didn’t stop not because he didn’t want to but there was a deeper force pushing him to just keep on going..
He feels his heart threatening to fall apart but forces one more time to run through the flanks.
It had only been two days since she accepted to give him a phone and it was funny it had contacts , was his life that miserable, so imagine the shock of her life when His phone beeps. He stops and picks up his phone to see he got a text. An unusual text. He reads it once and then again. The more he reads it, the more it sounds like a trap. It probably is, but then again, he thought he’d try it out.
After the sex she still hasn’t apologized or tried to talk to him, He picks up the pace and goes for another lap before he’s done for the day. He wipes his face clean of sweat and heads for home.

He had been surprised to see that she was looking at him, but he’ was feeling unsettled still about the call and just wanted time to himself.
Still Antonia has walked into him and asked about the person he was speaking to-
Feeling all stressed, he places the towel down and stashes the used towels. He picks a new one from the row of clean towels and washes his face as he walked. out of the bathroom, in a way he could still feel His muscles protest with each step he takes but he’s quite used to it by now. It’s like every other day.
It was surprising to see that the two people he had come to know were there talking, at the moment he’d come to trust more than even his self.
He shakes his head at the irony of it all, he thought about telling her about the call and text but changes his mind-
Throwing herself into a chair by the front window, she scrubbed her face with her hands.
She could feel all her emotions coming to the surface as she thought about what to do.
She seemed to be all over the board and she didn’t feel like herself at all. Could it be that he knew about the truth?
Possibly, but the knowledge was of little comfort when she felt like her world was falling apart, she could sense the entire tension all around her as she was feeling rather disturbed.
This thing about him wasn’t that big a deal, but for some reason it seemed like it was. . it was harder for her to control the feeling that was at the back of her mind.
She was teary and worried, angry and indecisive about what was running through her soul at that moment, she felt the need to talk to him –
. Her stomach kept knotting up . And even though she knew it was ridiculous, she was sure her relationship with Chris was in jeopardy.
Inevitably, she sniffled and wiped her tears.
It was his turn to ask.”Are you fine?”
It was a nasty moment, it was at this very moment probably spreading her as it felt like her heart was beating loudly.
i”I need to. To talk to you.”
Soomy as she said the words, a car door slammed outside and she sat forward, peering through the curtains to see who it. was.
It looked to be a car.
“Can we talk about this later.”
Darn ! It was the last thing she wanted. That was another cause for complaint. The man was up to something, though Antonia still wasn’t sure exactly what. Maybe instead of thinking about what to tell him everything and she should concentrate her energy on figuring out
At least it would take her mind off one problem and it would leave her still getting worried.
As he Left she came up the walk, she debated as to whether or not she should confront him.
about where he was going to , and why should not go. Or should she say nothing .
“I need to go,”he said.
“What do you have to do?”She asked.
“Will tell you about it much later.”
She had tried to explain the situation and he didn’t listen. Soon after he left she was twisting her fingers. She listened to the sounds of the leaving the apartment and was very angry.
.
At that . the thought of losing him filled her mind; her stomach had clenched in fear. What if Laura was trying to lure Chris over to her –
After tense moments, a Knock was heard, then all was silent. Tentatively, she called out.
“Who is there?”
With no replies, she walked over to find out.
She opened the door.
“Laura?”She grimaced in a way unable to believe.
******
He arrives at the address given in the text and immediately knows something is off, first even in his darkest state he had been one that believed in nerves and Instinctive.
The hairs on his neck stand like pinecones. He had pulled away from everything and as he did turns off the engine of his car and was welcomed by an eerie silence. The only thing disrupting the quiet is his breathing.
“I hope I am not making a mistake, he stated to himself.”
At a point, he considers driving off before it’s too late but his curiosity gets the better of him and he gets out of the car, he had to see this.
He had to know this anonymous caller, the person who sounded manly and he was bent on seeing who it was
He’s embraced by a chill that runs from his head to his toes, goosebumps rising with each contact with his skin, he took his first step as he made his way out.
He looks around again, maybe there is actually someone here and he just missed it. Yeah that has to be it-
“Is anyone here?”
He takes a few steps away from his car, maybe he’s parked too far. There’s probably someone in the building but he had no idea who it was , it ran wild in his soul.
It’s getting darker now and the darker it gets, the stronger the nagging feeling that he’s been in came to the surface, much as he wanted to get rid of the feeling it felt it was a bad idea.
He’s about to turn back and jump into his car when he hears a noise behind him and he stands stiff.
