'Jake!' she breathed as her fingers crawled through my back causing ripples to each and every muscle. Her nails were sinking into my skin leaving dull marks.
I placed soft kisses on the skin of her shoulders and then aimed for her lips. She moaned as I continued to do my task. Part of me was happy to have her in my arms but was also anxious at the same time. Anxious because I didn't want her to leave me. Well she will never do that.
She kissed me back as if this was her last. The taste of her lips made me want more of it.For once we stopped and looked into each other's eyes as if trying to see through the souls.She continued to look at me with those jade eyes as she caressed my face with her soft fingers.
'Kiya' I said.
Buzz….. Buzz…
I stroke back the hair that was covering her face to the back of her ear. I laid her on the bed and she brought my face towards her as she tried to unbutton my shirt.
Buzz….buzz….
I pulled her thin top strip down her shoulder. My shirt was thrown just next to the bed and her hands were now struggling to unbuckle the belt.I stared at her eyes and all she gave me was a smile.Our lips lingered between each other.
Buzz….. Buzz… buzz…..
I called her name again. Our fingers now intertwined with one another making us unable to part.
Buzz… buzz… buzz… buzz..
Jake suddenly wakes up to the buzzing sound. He smiles at himself for having such a rubbish dream.He was sitting on his couch a few minutes ago and didn't even realize when he fell asleep.
The phone flashed with a similar name. Jake reached out for the table beside him to see around six missed calls from Kiya. After ignoring her for days now, eventually he decides to pick up the call.
"Yeah! "
"Jake! " She calls with a faint voice.
Jake could not stop but think about the dream he had a little while ago. Her voice was enough to pass electricity through his veins. He was ashamed of himself. Why were his thoughts still surrounding her?
"Speak now" He said it out loud.
"Can we… Can we meet once? "
"No"
"Why? "
"Because I don't want to! "
"Why are you being so rude? Can't you just listen to me for once? "
"Say what you have to say. Quick" His voice is still as stiff as it was earlier.
"I just want to be back with you. I'm sorry for that day. "She cried.
"It's too late to apologize, Kiya. "
"But… "
"We are done. I'm done! " He hangs up the phone and throws it back to the couch.
Jake was about to walk towards his kitchen but the phone went off again. He reached for it and shouted to it" I told you to stop. "
"Jake? "
He then noticed that the voice was not the same as the previous one. It was different. Jake realized it was no one but Samantha.
"Umm….yeah Samantha! " He says rubbing the back of his neck.
"Whoa… what was that? "She chuckled.
" Aah, nothing. So what were you about to say? "
"Oh.. Actually you need to come as early as possible tomorrow. We are going to have another discussion. "
"Sam, we do that every day! "
"Yeah, but we are going to question that driver again. "
"Did Mr Dayal say that? "
"Yes.He actually told me to inform you once. "
"Okay, I will be there on time. " He ends the call and switches off his phone. The previous call was enough to make him stressed out already.
Jake walks straight to the kitchen in order to find something to eat. However he ended up ordering home delivery.
These restaurants are really doing well nowadays. The food just needs to be heated and you are done. It's not greasy either. Jake thought to himself.
After having his dinner and doing some dishes he jumps straight into his bed. Not much later he had already fallen asleep.
________________
Jake's sleep was interrupted by the sound of footsteps in his door. He was sure that he saw a shadow passing by his room but could not recognize it. His whole body felt weak and stiff. He tried to move but he could not.
'What's wrong? Why can't I move? 'He thought to himself.
It felt like a dream to him but no it can't be. He looked outside the window which was allowing cool breeze to come inside. He felt fragile and dizzy. Was this really not a dream?
He hears those weird sounds again. No, it was not a dream. He was able to do everything but move. He was helpless and vulnerable.
Jake takes a look at his bed stand to find his phone but no, it was not there. He must have left it somewhere in the living room.
He tried to call for help but he was not even able to speak. Moments later somehow he managed to get off the bed. He crawled towards the door and he was startled to find a person standing right in front of him.
"Who….who are you? " He somehow uttered those words.
He did not answer.
"How did you enter…..my..my house? "He tries to catch his breath.
It was not a familiar feeling to Jake. He was unable to see the person's face and his vision was totally blurred.
Suddenly Jake feels a slight pain on his ribs. He shouts in pain.
Before he could dodge any of the attacks he received from the stranger he was already weak to take any further action.
The stranger pushed him back and Jake hit the wall only to slide down and sit there unconsciously.
'Whoosh'
This time Jake managed to move aside making the stranger shout in pain as he missed his aim and striked the wall.
Jake stands on his feet and clenches his fist,as the knuckles revealed on his hands.
He smacks him right on his face.
'Thud'
Before the stranger could react to it he gave him another punch.
Jake was still very dizzy but he gained his strength to fight this stranger. He pulled the person's collar to bring him much closer so that he could see his face. Well he came all prepared.
He was still in a daze but then he noticed a shiny object just beside him.
A knife!
The person was about to attack but Jake stepped on one of his arm and the knife fell down filling echoes in the entire room.
He pushed Jake and tried to escape. Jake grabbed his hand but it was not tight enough to make him stay there. What he only got was, those nail imprints on his wrist.
He walked to the living area and reached for his phone. The person was gone.After tapping on it for a few seconds he dialed a random number.
"Hello"
"Sam! "
