Chapter 3 - Symptoms and Stalkers

Chapter 3 :

The sun peaked through the nude-colored curtains that were on the left side of the room. That was one reason for which Victoria had bought this Condo.

The view it had was superb, and Victoria liked that. She liked she could just take a small glance through her room window and see the people walking about trying to make it through their busy schedule, and she admired them for that.

With a somewhat sad smile on her face, Victoria went to the bathroom to take a shower. Fifteen minutes later, Victoria was looking at herself in the mirror, and kept asking herself 'why did she got cheated on?'

She knew she was beautiful no doubt about that, for she had long thick lashes to die for, pink plump lips that all the girls at her college envied her for, and she was not afraid to say it, because she knew she had both the body and the looks.

Between listing all the things she knew they had endowed her with, that still did not stop a small tear from trickling down her face and onto the counter.

Feeling the warm tear on her jawline, Victoria tried to rid herself of the feeling, in which her skin tingled and her insides doing a somewhat unpleasant somersault, and when her throat clogged and her vision clouded.

Before she could wallow herself in self-pity, the feeling of nausea crept upon her, and about roughly fifteen to twenty minutes later she leaned upon the side of the toilet.

"Oh. My. God ", Victoria moaned as she dragged herself down the stairs, and towards the kitchen, opening the fridge she saw that it was practically empty, that's if you excluded the box of milk in the fridge and the tube of ice cream in the freezer.

Sighing loudly, she took the tube of cookie 'n' cream ice cream and went towards her huge soft pink sofa and sat down in its plush seats while sighing at the warmth it gave.

Taking the remote that was placed on her mahogany coffee table, she turned on her television that was perched upon her creamed colored wall. She waited for a while to see what was on, but rolled her eyes when she saw that it was a gossip channel.

She picked up her phone and opened Instagram, just to see that she had received I.2 million more followers, 500 thousand comments, and 2 million likes.

Scrolling through her comments, she saw that most of her fans were asking her about her when she was going to release her new line.

Replying to them all she clicked on the exploration section on the app and noticed that they flooded her feed with videos and pictures of her and Axel kissing, her holding his biceps and Axel holding her in his arms.

Memories of what happened earlier came flooding back into her mind. Holding back a blush she smiled softly, but that smile twisted into a frown when she saw a comment reprimanding her saying that she wants someone who was already taken.

Rolling her eyes Victoria played the comment off as a joke and connected her phone to the house speaker and selected Conor Maynard's 'Nothing But You', as it came blasting throughout the house she sat back down on the sofa and ate her ice cream that was melting.

she moaned at the taste in her mouth and five minutes later she had eaten the whole tube and was on the counter of her kitchen with a wooden spoon in her grasp.

Victoria was dancing on her kitchen counter screaming out her lungs to 'Nothing But You' by Conor Maynard and was using the wooden spoon as a mic as she sang the lyrics.

" You can take all of my money" as she sang that line, she pointed towards the window as if someone was there. While she sang the remaining lyrics, she swayed her hips meanwhile running her hands up and down her body.

"Strip me of all of my pride, oh no

nobody else gotta love me, oh woah, woah

As long as she's right by my side, eh?"

What Victoria did not know was that there was actually someone there, outside the window, watching her sing, dance, and laugh with herself.

The stranger let out a laugh as they watched as Victoria got on her knees with her palms together as if praying and nearly lost their balance as she sang.

"Forgive me, father

For I have sinned through my worship of a woman

I've discovered here."

Victoria had not felt this wonderful in ages, she felt free and childish, and she had no one to tell her to stop.

She quickly stopped singing and dancing when she felt a tingling sensation on her back as if someone was watching her, her body unconsciously released a shudder of fear as she wrapped her arms protectively around her stomach at the thought of someone breaking into her home.

Climbing quietly down off the kitchen counter, she winced when her hand brushed the spoon she had dropped on the counter earlier, fell to the floor with a clatter.

Victoria threw a glance behind her as she hurriedly but silently went towards her phone.

She quickly unlocked her phone not before staring at a picture she had of Brad Pitt, on her lock screen, it brought her out of her gushing when she felt that familiar feeling again.

Victoria quickly brought up the phone app on her phone and dialed the police number and was quickly put on hold. Screaming silently inside, she jumped when she heard a crashing sound from her pantry, and she slowly went to investigate the noise.

" LAPD, how may we be of service ", the voice of a woman that may be in her mid-thirties judging by the sound of her voice. Victoria paid her no mind as she hangs up the phone and heads towards her, curiosity getting the best of her.

And was shocked at the scene before her, trying to get itself up to where the sardines here were a cute tiny kitten that had somehow ended up in her pantry.

She released a sigh of relief as heartbeat slowly came down to normal. Looking down at the small kitten, she still had the feeling someone was watching her and placed the cat into her pantry. But the question was, who?
