Well, a month has gone by and there has been no word from Corpse after that day. I guess I was kind of stupid for giving him my number. Like he would have actually used it. I should have known better. Things have honestly gone back to normal like he had never showed up. The only proof that I had that he was real, was the photo we took together on my phone.
The sleep deprived nights and days were starting to catch up to me. I was on the way to the hospital to make up some hours for clinicals because I was starting to feel the need to take a break coming up.
White Tee started playing on my phone. I knew it was Ashley from just the ringtone. I sighed softly hoping that when I picked up the phone she wouldn't ask me about the man again and if he has texted me yet. I think after a month it was logical reason to give up on him. For some reason, she didn't want me to give up on him. Which made me very uncomfortable to think about.
"Hey mama, what up girl?" I said softly picking up the phone as I was driving. Turning down my spotify playlist, so she wouldn't hear that Corpse was playing on my radio. Though it probably still could be heard on the phone.
I heard her giggle softly, "Gurl, you better hurry up and get your ass up to the hospital. I just accepted a gift for you and it is at the nurses station. Looks like you have a very... dark admirer." I raised an eyebrow as she said that what the hell could she mean. "Also, no I won't tell you what it is until you see it for yourself. I don't wanna ruin it."
I groaned loudly, "Ashley, have I told you how much I hate you at the moment? Why can't you just tell me who it is from? Then maybe I will have some kind of idea what I'll be walking into."
"Kaylee... Let us just say, all the girls are kind of sitting here looking at it jealous. Wishing our boyfriends would do this for us." she giggled again. I really was confused right now. I did not have a boyfriend. Nor was I talking to any guys at the moment. I think they probably sent whatever it was to the wrong place and the wrong Kaylee.
I used my one of my hands to rub my forehead to figure out what the hell was going. "Ashley, you know as well as I do, that I do not have a boyfriend. In fact if I did, you would have been the first to know.. So I don't know who the fuck sent that shit... but I'll be in a few moments. I'm parking my car right now." I said annoyed, turning my car off and stepping out. Without thinking about it, I slammed my car door and stormed into the hospital.
Ashley was not lying. There was a small black heart balloon. There was a small box of chocolates. The flowers were oddly black lilies and sweet peas. I walked up to the counter of the nurses station. Ashley nudged me in the side and pointed to the two cards that was with the things. One was with the flowers. I grabbed that one.with the flowers.
The first side said, 'Baby, I'm not the right one should wait on...." I rolled my eyes knowing now who had sent me all these things in front of me. Still confused as to why he would go to this extent after not contacting me after a month. I flipped the small card over to see if there was anything on the back of the card. To my pleasant surprise there was, 'But, Baby Girl, I hope you did.'
My face turned bright red when I saw the back of the card. I started chewing on my lip nervously. Part of me knew that I was already gonna draw blood if I did that though. Ashley looked at me confused and I handed the small card. She raised an eyebrow, "Well does this help you figure out who sent you all this?" I nodded softly feeling myself blush. I turned on my phone screen and showed her the picture. "Oh my god! It was him? He didn't forget you then did he?!" Ashley started jumping up and down really excited.
I started to tug on my hair nervously. I grabbed the other card. It was black with a small heart on it that was popped up, but the heart was also black. I sighed softly. This man was just really obsessed with black wasn't he? It didn't bother me tho. All the girls were still starring at me wondering who the hell had sent me this stuff.
Slowly, opening the card, there was a decent length letter inside it.
'Kaylee,
Waddup Baby. I know I haven't texted you since the day we met. I had gone over seas to see some of my friends over there. Then when I got back, I had a bunch of projects, I needed to finish. You probably have seen the songs that just came out. It has taken a lot out of me. I know it is just an excuse.. but I wanted to explain myself. I am sorry. Though after you read this, I will be texting you very soon... Shortie.
Randall,
your wanna be corpse husband'
I started laughing at the signature. I knew he had done that on purpose in case anybody had gotten nosey and started reading the stuff that was given to me. I couldn't help but to roll my eyes tho. He didn't have to go to this extent. There was a simple solution to all this. He could have just texted me and that would have been the end of that.
Though part of me was wondering how he found out lilies and sweet peas were my favorite flower, or maybe it wasn't coincidental at all. For some reason, I glared at Ashley. Did she somehow contacted him? Or was it the opposite way around? He contacted her? Though I could honestly say that it didn't matter. My heart was pounding in my ears. No man has ever gone out of his way to do something like this.
I touched the flowers gently lost in my own thoughts. Ashley put a hand on my shoulder, smirking, "It is from the guy. I kind of fibbed. I already knew. He reached out on instagram to ask me what kind of flowers you liked." I couldn't believe it. I wasn't wrong that someone had told him what my favorite flowers were. "Kaylee... You are blushing by the way."
I giggled nervously, "I mean, wouldn't you if you had a guy go basically all out? The only actual thing missing that would make this complete was if he had showed up." The blush on my face really noticeable against my dark hair. My best friend rubbed my back and helped me move the things out of the way so we could get to work.
A couple hours later, my phone had gone off. I already knew who it was. So before actually reading the text message, I saved his name under Wannabe CHusband <3. I bit my lip nervously as I actually read the text message.
Wannabe CHusband <3
'Waddup baby. You like the gifts?'
Shortie
'Yes. Don't understand why you did something like that... but thank you. I really loved it.'
Wannabe CHusband <3
'Princess, I did it cause I wanted too. You at work? If so when you go on break you wanna ft me?'
My face turned bright red. I was actually gonna be leaving soon, because I only came in for a few hours to get some extra time for my clinicals. Did I wanna hear that voice? Was I gonna be able to not fangirl at the sound of his voice? My face was bright red. Ashley looked at me questioningly. I shook my head at her.
Shortie
'Yes. Call me in about 45 minutes.... <3'
I let out a breath of air that I didn't know that I had been holding in for so long. My lungs felt like they were on fire after that. Never have I ever had a boy in real life make me feel this way. I knew it was nothing tho. I could never have a real crush on a man, that could literally have any girl he wanted in the world. Yet here he was messaging me and talking to me. I think that man needs some mental help..
About forty-five minutes later, I was getting a face time call from Corpse. Thank god I was in my car when he called or I would have been running out the front door of the hospital so I could take this call without the prying eyes of all the other girls. For a minute though, I hesitated to pick up the call at all. I slide the little bar at the bottom to answer the face time video call.
That was when I saw him. I bit my lip nervously and smiled at him. His hair was a little longer and a curly mess. From what I could tell he was still laying in bed. "Hey baby girl." he said in his deep voice. I felt myself get the goosebumps as I began to blush as well. My eyes shifted away from the screen. He chuckled at me, "How was work?"
I shrugged softly. Part of me was worried that he was in bed still because his pain but I didn't wanna pester him and ask. "Well you see... this guy? He sent me my favorite flowers... somehow managed to find them in black? A heart balloon that was black as well. Oh, and can't forget the chocolates and the notes. Which you know for someone who doesn't wanna be found out, sure put a line on the card with the flowers, that could be taken as the one and only faceless youtuber that everyone around the world is obsessed with." I giggled softly and smiled softly looking back at the screen at him.
He rubbed his eye a little bit, and then ran a hand through his hair. "Oh damn. That man must be smooth. He must have been apologizing for screwing something up... " he said the last part softly, "Did... it at least work?" He looked at me kind of nervous. The shit this man was making me feel at this very moment, god, I hated it.
I pretended to think about it, "Hmmm.... I think it did. Especially since he could of blown the secret of who he was when he messaged my friend to ask what my favorite flowers were." I rolled my eyes thinking about that. Still couldn't believe he actually went that far to find out. He chuckled softly.
My apple watch vibrates against my left wrist. I frown and check what it was. It was a text from Ashley. 'Talking to lover boy in your car?' I rolled my eyes. She really knew me to well. I didn't respond to her text message. The screen went back to my wallpaper. It was the picture of Corpse and I... with his hand around my throat. I sighed softly.
He looked at me kind of worried. "You okay? Did something happen?" He frowned at me, "When was the last time that you slept? When I ask slept, I mean for more then two or three hours?" I blushed again and shrugged. To be honest, I couldn't remember the last time that I actually had a good sleep. I've been kind of running myself into the ground between work and school. Though, I was going to ask how he knew, but Ashley probably couldn't keep her mouth shut knowing her.
I started to play with a strand of my hair nervously. "I uhh... Can't remember when the last time I actually slept was..." I whispered softly, trying to avoid looking him in the eye knowing that he was probably either going to get more worried or angry with me. I hated making people angry with me. No matter what I did I usually seemed to piss someone off. That was kind of the reason that I was never home to begin with.
"Kaylee... How about this?" his voice said softly, as he ran a hand through his hair. His dark eyes piercing my own dark eyes. "Go home... get in bed.. and face time. We can take a nap together." A blush crawled its way back to my face. I didn't know what to respond to him saying that we could take a nap together. Fidgeting in my car seat a bit, the real question was, would my mother be home to harass me? Or would she be out for the day?
"Okay... Corpse." my voice said barely above a whisper to the handsome man on the phone. The panic was starting to set in as I realized that I was actually gonna take a nap with this man on face time. I put him on my phone holder and put my key into the ignition of my car. The corners of his lips turned upward into a smile. In response to his smile, I couldn't help smiling at this man.
