I woke up feeling so refreshed. I don't think I've ever slept in this late. I didn't have to go to work today so I decided to fill in my time cleaning the house.
After taking my sweet time climbing down the staircase, I stopped at the living room to relax a bit before proceeding to clean up the place. As I stood up to start the day's work, my eyes caught some pieces of paper lying around the floor.
I couldn't remember any of such so I picked it up to examine it just to  realize they were the letters sent to me by the unknown person.
I tried remembering who could have sent that but I came up blank several times.
I decided to put it aside to clean up the house first and later come back to it. My mind was totally not at rest as I cleaned absentmindedly as all my focus was on those letters. It baffled me that a stranger could know a lot about me and that made me wonder if the person was really a stranger. It must be someone who knows me really well and that in itself was very scary. The only people who knew me well were my dad, Chris and Emily; my dad was dead and the letter referred to him so he was totally out, Chris and Emily were in my past and I never told them about my whereabouts so there was no way they could have gotten to me except....
No, I don't want to think about that possibility. They couldn't have found out about me or where I stay; it can't be possible.  I made sure I caught off all ties with them before I left. I changed my number, I didn't leave any address details so they couldn't have found me.
This thought was with me throughout the whole day. I tried so hard to concentrate but still I couldn't, I couldn't understand how someone would know so much about me and I knew nothing about the person.  With that in mind, I decided to meet up with the person. I was scared but I knew I had to do it if I wanted my peace of mind.
I literally did nothing throughout the day as I just kept wondering and thinking about the possibilities and all sorts. I called Micheal to inform him about what I was planning to do but I wanted to tell him in person so I invited him over for dinner.
Dinner time rolled by and I had prepared a meal for us to eat over while we discussed this matter. I felt it was really serious and it shouldn't be taken lightly and my mind was already made up about my choice.
I heard the door bell and I went to open it. Micheal stood there still in his work clothes with his tie slightly loosened, his suit on one arm and his briefcase on the other. His hair was slightly tousl-
Wait, what was I doing?? I was supposed to keep a straight face while welcoming him so we won't be sidetracked by other things but apparently I was the one eye raping from the door..ughhhh, focus. I mentally chastised myself
Getting myself back on track, I welcomed him while arranging his things on the chair before leading him to the table for dinner and 'the talk'.
"Babe what's wrong? You don't look too happy to see me" Micheal observed and turned me to himself so I was basically facing him
"Nothing, I just have a lot on my plate right now" that was partially the truth.
"Just sit and we'll talk about it" I told him testing the waters to see his reaction.
He shrugged and settled moved to the seat I directed him to. As I served him, my phone pinged indicating I had a message but I ignored it saving it for later after 'our talk'. When I sat down to eat, the phone started ringing. I excused myself to take the call just to realize it was an unknown number. I was weary of the call and as I picked, I placed the call on loudspeaker for Micheal to hear the conversation.
"Hello who is this?" I asked shakily
"Hey, I called as a follow up to the flowers and note I sent earlier, hope you received it" the voice said
There was silence after that, Micheal sat upright after hearing that statement. It was a man's voice but I couldn't place where I've heard that voice before. It sounded rapsy and not familiar at all.
"Hello, did you hear me?" The voice asked
"I-I-I did"
"Well then I should take that as a sign that you received the package. Should I be expecting your call soon?"
"What makes you think I would want to call you?"
Chuckling the voice answered, "knowing you as a very curious person, I should expect to see your call tomorrow except if you've changed but I doubt it"
I hate how right the voice was and also how whosoever that was knew me too well.
"I would love to continue our chitchat but we both know your questions would be answered tomorrow. Bonsoir mon coeur" and the call came to an end.
I looked back at Micheal to see him so angry.
"What was that call all about? And why didn't you tell me that you made up your mind already to see that bastard?" He asked fuming
"I was about to tell you; that's why I invited you for dinner. Besides I didn't know he was gonna call, I didn't even know he had my number" I replied feeling so frustrated about the whole situation. How was I supposed to know that he planned calling me?
"Well since you now know, I'm telling you clearly that I'm going to see whosoever is behind this"
"Babe, how would you just go to see him? What if he tries to hurt you or what if he's dangerous? I can't let anything happen to you, I don't wanna lose you...I love you" he was already standing in front of me when he made the last statement.
"I'm not striking out the fact that he could be dangerous but it just irks me that someone knows a lot about me and I have no clue as to who the person is"
I get his point about safety but I really wanna know who that person is. My mind has not been at rest for a while now; my dad's death- I've not even being given a proper time to mourn and now this unknown caller.
Michael raised up my head and gave me a soft kiss.
"I just want you safe. Since its really disturbing you, I can't stop you. Just make sure you are safe or I can go with you if you want?" He asked
Smiling I replied, "that would be perfect"
"I love you so much Charlotte"
"I love you too Micheal"
And the night was sealed with a kiss
