Alice's POV:
I plopped down on the couch exhausted after bringing in all the bags in one trip. I recollected myself and went to the kitchen to unpack them.
15 minutes later
I smiled as I admired my work in the the refrigerator.
I went upstairs for a shower and grabbed a pair of socks, boxers and an oversize t-shirt to enjoy what remained of my day off. I was starting a new Netflix series today since I've been too busy to binge anything today, i pulled all the curtains to darken up the room and with a bunch of snacks i was ready and pressed play.
Ding Dong
The world just won't let me be will it. I tried to ignore since my car was at the cleaners and nothing would give me away but they wouldn't buzz off.
I went downstairs and peaked through the peephole.
Oh Shit
It was Amber, My last foster and her dead beat son Derick in Toe, I swear that guy did drugs. i just decided to wait it out until they left. I thought I finally got rid of them seems they hired someone to find me.
I sat leaned against the door until i guess the stress made me doze off.
Amber's POV:
"Alice we know your in there , I checked your office they said you weren't in today" I yelled.
"Alice don't make this harder than it has to be jut write us a check and we'll be out of here" Derick stated
"You know I'll make a scene" I kicked the door.
Soon a very tall man came up to us after parking in the driveway. He stepped out of a luxury car no doubt he was loaded.
Maybe try my luck and get a new sponsor.
Theo's POV:
I got off a little earlier than normal today well earlier than expected. I sent a glance to Alice's house hoping to catch a glimpse of her when i spotted some suspicious people outside. She was an orphan so they couldn't be her mother or brother maybe an aunt. That assumption was flung through the window when I heard them yelling and kicking the door. I parked in her driveway determined to get them out of here before they caused more of a scene.
"Maybe I hep you?" I asked.
"Yes I'm looking for the woman that lives here?" She said seductively i had to resist the urge to gag, she looked old enough to be my mother, a matter of fact her son looked older than me. I thought quickly of a way to deter them.
"No woman lives here" I denied.
"How would you know" Her son chimed in.
"Because I live here and guessing since I haven't seen you here, your trespassing?"
"No my daughter lives here , we're here to see her and this is the address she gave us" The woman quickly responded.
It was obviously a lie from how flustered she was.
"Well seems you have the wrong address"
"Then open the door" Her son demanded.
Shit
I went up to the door praying for a mirror and not log after i stood there it opened and a scared Alice peeked out. I position my body to bloc her from there view and she quickly hid behind the door.
"I recommend you leave before I call security, do enjoy the rest of your evening" I said upon entering and closing the door.
Alice pulled me into a hug upon seeing me.
"Thank you " She whispered, I've never seen her like this except for the split second when we watched a movie at my place but that was brief too brief it could have been considered a hallucination. I hugged her back.
"Your welcome" I patted her on the head and she flinched.
"Sorry hid I hurt you" I said worriedly.
"No I was leaning against the door when she kicked it" She replied.
"Lets get you some ice and I'll check it.
"Are they gone yet?"
I peeked through the peep hole as they walked to there car that was parked on the street.The woman made a phone call and was arguing with someone on it.
"She's making a call."
Then they got in there car a few minutes later and drove further down the road.
"They drove in the direction of my house."
She released a sigh.
"I'll call security to get rid of them, I'll stay here until then."
She paused and thought about it before nodding and we went to the kitchen for some ice for her bump.
"No Scars" I confirmed.
"Thanks"
"No problem"
A silence had engulfed us.
" Do you need any help dealing with them?" I asked.
" No they'll just bother me even more, i'll just change houses"
"That's too much of an inconvenience, I'm friends with the community president I'll ask him to strengthen security around this issue." I responded quickly.
"Thanks it would be a pain to move again"
Again?
Guess they've been bothering her for a while now.
"Anything to make sure your okay"
She gave me a small smile.
"Oh thanks for making sure I got home safe last night, your not as bad as I thought"
"What made you think I was a bad guy"
"Have you seen the rumors online and the articles?"
"None of that is true , you really believed that"
"Some people live up to the rumors people spread about them"
"Can't argue with that but I promise I'm not like that"
"I'm starting to believe that"
"Wanna start a Netflix series with me"
"I'd be honored as long as it isn't romance"
"Its actually horror"
"Count me in"
"I'll got grab my snacks the living room is there" She pointed before running upstairs.
I took a seat on the couch, took off my jacket , removed my tie and undid a few buttons on my shirt.
She returned with what one could call diabetes and high cholesterol but I ignored the gym head in me telling me not too.
She clicked on the movie and the Netflix sound effect came on.
"Thanks for not asking" I heard a whisper.
I couldn't look in her direction. The fact that I knew way more than she thought I did made me feel like I was betraying her almost.
She can't find out what I'm doing. I don't want her to group me the same as everyone else not right after I got her to stop treating me coldly.
