The Psychopath's Obsession

Chapter 8

I finish my coffee and decided to go home. He didn't see me. I don't know what to feel, but... Why am I a little disappointed? Guess I'm tired.

Just imagining the event tomorrow... Man, I just want to stay at my apartment and cuddle with my pillows. My bed's my only comfort.

I didn't even know if I should attend the party tomorrow, but remembering the person that stalking me... And Monica. God, what is really her problem to me?

I decided to walk to get home. I need some peace... Well, not that there's no one here, just walking and calming my mind, I think that's what I need to continue my life.

There's so many people here with someone beside them. I even saw a children playing with their playmates. It's late but they're still awake. They should go home and sleep.

I continue to walk and analyze my surroundings until I felt someone's walking beside me. I remembered the person at the 7/11 and I trembled. Is he really not afraid to get caught? There's so many people here!

I was about to run when the person talk.

"Hey there."

Mr. Davids?

I slowly turned my head to the man beside me. It's really him...

I thought he left already?

"H-Hey too..." s**t!

There's a silence that envelope us.

I want to talk to him more...

I want to know him...

But because I am me. The anti social one, I don't know how to start a conversation.

I cleared my throat and about to say something when he talked first.

"Why are you walking in the middle of the night?" he asked.

His voice is husky and sexy...

Sexy?! What the f**k Milda!

"I... I just want to calm my mind..." I'm thankful that I didn't stutter.

He chuckled. "Well, is walking calming your mind?"

"I guess." I sighed. "When you're just like me, you would understand my feeling. Growing up alone and being independent, you would appreciate the simple things that you didn't even appreciate before. Just like what I'm doing... Walking in this noisy street, it help me have a peace of mind." I didn't even know that I'm smiling while saying those word.

Before, when I'm doing this and remembering growing up alone and living only with myself. I felt more exhausted and sad, but now... I don't know the difference but it feels like normal saying that to him.

"I don't know what to say..." He said with a chuckle. "I grew up with my family besides me and supporting my decisions in life. But I'm force to run our business after my father's death... I'm a photographer but at the same time, business man." he tsked. "But my hearts really into photography."

What situation's really painful?

We both sighed and just let the silence eat us. I don't know what to say next. It's clearly understanding that we both have a different life. I don't know but I felt a little pang of pain in my chest. Guess I envy him because he actually grew up with family by his side. While me? All alone.

"Hmm... Can I ask you something?" I said hesitantly.

I looked at him only to find out that he's looking at me too. Suddenly, I felt my throat dries. Oh man.

He raised his left eyebrow. I got intimidated all of a sudden.

I cleared my throat. "Are you business partners with Mr. Carson? Or friends maybe?"

He let out a sexy chuckled that got my attention. "Friends? I don't get friends with asshole."

I got shocked at his chosen word.

"S-So... Business partners?" I asked again.

"Kinda." he answered.

Kinda? What kind of answer is that? I want to ask more to lighten my mind but I stop myself.

"I heard that your company's throwing a party tomorrow, I think I'll see you there?" he's the one asking now.

I got uncomfortable with the question. I remembered Monica and the man. I don't know what to say.

"I-… I don't know. I'm not planning to attend." I answered truthfully.

He looked at me. "Why? Not party one?"

"It's... Hard to tell. I think it's private." I lowered my head.

We're just walking slowly.

"Oh... Sorry to dig. But, why don't you try? I'll attend tomorrow, I don't have any companion to bring. It'll be boring."

"Then... Why don't you not attend if its will bored you?" Before I stop my mouth, I already say it. "S-Sorry---"

"It's okay. Because I'm the new president of the businesses that my father own, I must attend it. It will help my business to introduce with others and gather some investors." Oh. So that's how the business world work.

"So you mean... Business party means an opportunity to have investors? It's like hitting two birds with one stone..." I said.

He chuckled. "Hitting two birds? How can you say so?"

"Uh... You'll get investors and you can get to know some info with other business man."

He stopped walking and turned to me. Gone the playful aura. I felt a the danger coming out from him.

He suddenly smirk. Not the playful but dangerous one. He walks towards me and stop when the space is only 12 inches or one ruler.

He raised his hand and I instinctively closed my eyes supposition that he'll hit me, but instead of a hit, I felt his hands caressing my cheeks, I slowly opened my eyes to see him looking at me dangerously. In one second, his attitude changed.

"I don't need them... They need me instead. My company could stand on its own without them, I'm just giving them a favor to be part of my kingdom..." he whispered to me. I can't move my head to avert his gaze, I can't even move my body to get away to his spell.

I guessed I offended him in some ways.

I cleared my throat. "I-I'm sorry, Bullet... S-Sorry if I offended---"

"Oh no. You didn't. I just cleared some thoughts." he steps back and smirk. "I'm expecting you at the party tomorrow, don't disappoint me Milda. Bye!" and he vanished.

His back with his playful aura. Gone the dangerous... What's wrong with him? I'm sure there's wrong with his attitude.

But would I attend?

I don't know.
