The Lonely Baker

Part .1

"I haven't seen him in a while.."
I thought to myself as I wiped the counters of my bakery , closing the bakery for the day.

"Bling!bling"
The door bell rung , indicating that someone came inside.
I looked up to see Sakura's piercing blue eyes staring at me in excitement.

"She probably has good news , seeing her huge smile she probably won the lottery or something" I thought while looking at her
Ready to hear the good news.
"Aika! You won't believe who I saw today!"
"Did she see him? No it cant be"

"Remeber the handsome man that I helped , he gave me $100.00,
We can have dinner or something!"
She exclaimed , showing me the money.

"Ok, I'll be at your place at 8:30!"
I said to her hugging her and waving her goodbye as she left my shop.

I cleaned up all the flour on my floor, put all the cookie dough away along with the bread dough..
Then suddenly I felt an intense glare coming from one of the windows of my shop..
So naturally I turned around only to see the dark streets , a broken traffic light and very few people walking the streets.

I felt as though someone was watching me , and not just staring,  intensely looking at me...
I felt uneasy so I closed up shop fast so I could leave my bakery and go home..

I closed the door and locked it , putting the key in my purse..

As soon as I left the building , I felt the exact same stare.
I texted Sakura shaking my phone in fright..

"Sakura , I feel like someone's watching me!" I texted breathing heavily.
The atmosphere of the area didnt make it any better , because it was dark and had very few people around me , made me feel vulnerable.

"What!! I can't come right now I'm in the shower , but text me if anything happens , I'll be right their , even in my towel if I have to."  She texted..

I got the courage to continue walking home...
Normally I dont close my bakery this late , but because of how low income has been lately , I've been working from 4:00am - 8:00pm.. instead of the hours I used to work , 7:00am - 5:00pm..

As I walked on the pavement of the street of my bakery..
I heard footsteps echoing my own..
I was too afraid to turn around , so I grabbed my phone as I began hyperventilating...

"Ring!ring"
"Hello?" Sakura answered in her high pitched voice.

"S-Sakura , I'm hearing footsteps,  coming from behind me.."I whispered as I continued to walk but in a faster pace..

The echoing footsteps got faster and louder by the minute..
Then I felt a strong hand , much bigger than mine slapped away my phone out of my hand..
I began hyperventilating even more..
Before I could run or scream..
The same hands wrapped itself around my waist tightly and covered my mouth with his cold hands , so strongly that my lips against my teeth began to hurt..

All I could hear is Sakura's voice from the phone, repeating.."Hello! Hello! Hello!! Aika are you their??"

All I saw was a thick rag held against my mouth until I couldn't , breathe nor could I see...
Everything went black..
His hand smelled like him..
His body smelled him..
His hands even felt like his....
