SAMANTHA
In the dead of the night, my phone rang persistently. I still wasn't used to the whole dynamic of a phone yet because I stayed without one for months before Luca got me this one.
My phone never rang because the only person who had my number was Luca and only he ever called my phone. Unless he was dying, there was no reason for him to be calling this dead into the night we lived in the same house.
My heart quickened and sleep vanished from my eyes at the realization of who might be on the other end. I picked up the phone and clicked the receiver.
The voice that greeted me sent shivers down my spine. Adrian, what did the devil want now?
"Rise and shine sleepy pants, duty calls!" Adrian's voice oozed with an intentional animosity.
"It's 3:00 am Adrian, what the fuck do you want?" whatever jargon he had to say couldn't wait? He just had to call me in the dead of the night? My sleepy voice was slightly laced with anger.
