Chereads / BLACK CARPET / Chapter 8 - 11

Chapter 8 - 11

Thursday, I woke up expecting the sun to be out and Francis out of bed and off to work but I was wrong well about the second thing , the sun was up and by time I checked my phone it was 8:50. He was still on the bed enjoying his sleep. I turned around to face him.

"Hey, wake up" I whisper to him

He mumbles and then opens his eyes slowly

"Hey, good morning, your late for work"

"Hmm, no I can't be it should be around 6:30, I set my alarm for that time"

"Well,your alarm is in your room, so open your eyes and look outside the window"

His eyes wide open he looks at the window and with shock he jumps out of the bed.

"Wow, I'm really late"

"Yeah, so can please do something for me when you get to school"

"Sure, what's that"

"I need you to tell Kelly, to please send all what happened in class today and that I'm sick and in a hospital and that's where you saw me"

"When did you even have the time to come up with a lie"

"I don't know, now go get ready I'll call you an Uber to come pick you"

"Thanks"

He leaves the room and heads upstairs to his room for while I got cleaned up downstairs in the guest bathroom. I quickly went to the kitchen and made both of us eggs with bacon and poured out two glasses of orange juice. By the time I was done making the food Francis had already taken a seat at the dinning table as he was ready to head off to school. Not to long after eating an Uber had arrived, he picked up his bag and went for the door then he came back to me and whispered in my ear.

"Don't forget to get a dress tomorrow is our date"

"Oh, I totally forgot"

"Good thing, I reminded you right"

He winks at me just after he had collected the car keys of my car and now leaves for his job. I went to my room, picked up my phone and turned it on, I had received 5 messages from Kelly and one from my mum.

I opened Kelly's messages first and it seems that she worried about me.

"Lexi where are you, I'm at your house but your not home"

"Lexi are you in trouble tell me are you kidnapped please text back if you can't call"

"Hey, I'm sorry for whatever I did to you to ignore me bit please let me know that you are alright and safe"

"Lexi, it's morning and I hope I see you in school and also James wants to speak when you"

"School is about to start and still haven't heard from you, I'll be in the cafeteria after school waiting for you"

By the time I had finished reading all her messages coincidentally she called me.

"Hi"

"What the fuck, Lexi,you had me worried that something is holding you against you will and I had decided to go to the police to report a missing person right after school"

"Sorry, but calm down, I'm alright just in the hospital"

"What happened"she says in shock

"Well I blacked out in school and when I woke up I was already here so I don't know who brought me"

"Okay, don't worry I'm coming to meet you just tell me which hospital"

"Oh, no, don't,"

"Why"

"Well I'm already being checked out"

"Well I don't want you to stress about getting a cab"

"Well I don't want you to miss any class, so please don't worry"

"Okay, I'll get all the notes you need"

"Okay"

I ended the call knowing that I have to call Francis fast before he meets with Kelly and then she'll think that Francis was the one who carried me and I have to avoid every thought of Francis in her head. I called his phone twice and he hadn't picked up and I kept getting worried, so I tried the third time and he picked.

"Umm, I'm teaching and you are interrupting my class"

"Sorry"

"So how is it there, are you enjoying yourself"

"Yeah, but don't meet up with Kelly again"

"Okay, so I'll call you after my next class"

"Okay, kisses"

"Yeah,kisses"

As I was about to end the call I could hear the class making sounds and him telling them to calm down that it is nothing and they should continue to face their books. I was already bored being alone and I was already tired of going through my Instagram page and seeing everyone's lives, so I finally said to myself I am going to check his room. I walk up the stairs to his room, suddenly noticing two rooms next to his one at each side. Ignoring those doors, I enter into the room, his bed looking beautifully laid which is practically in the center of the room. There were three doors in the room and I was ready to check each and every one of them and its contents. The first door was large and obvioudly I guessed it was his closet but I still wanted to look into it, I opened it and to my surprise I saw a large number of clothes from top to bottom it was a walk in closet and at the other end of the closet was another door, I looked all his clothes, shoes and even accessories and this wasn't something a normal high school teacher would have and they were from high fashion brands and not a one dollar piece. I walk down to the door at the end, I tried to open it but it was locked, I then noticed it had a number lock and I didn't know any number that could open it but I really wanted to know what was at the other side of the door.

The remaining two were just his bathroom and the other was just pilled up with different boxes filled with different papers and files and no way was I going to look through all those but the first file I picked before stepping out was about his travel to Spain, Mexico and India. This is weird and I need to ask him so many question like where are you getting your money and who the hell are you and what are you not telling me.
