Love Me

04- You're Mine

The next day after doing my morning chores I came out to read today’s newspaper. It was filled with Mr. Michael, different pictures of him, and about his speech, there were mostly positive opinions from the business community.

When I saw Nisha I showed the paper to her.

"Sara, he's looking hot,” Hearing that I chuckled I reminisced his eyes that looked deep into me, instantly my heart thumped.

That time I heard the doorbell.

"There's a delivery for Sara Nicholas.” The delivery guy said.

"I am Sara Nicholas."

"This is for you," he handed me the flowers.

"Have a nice day," he turned to leave.

"Excuse me, who send this?" I shrugged.

"Sorry mam I don't know, someone ordered this to deliver you.”

I locked the door and looked at the flowers. They are so beautiful.

"Wow, they are so beautiful," Nisha said looking at the flowers. "Who sent this?"

"I don't know," I walked to my room with the flowers. Furrowing my eyebrows, I thought who is this. Today is not any special day for me.

I kept the flowers on my study and looked at how nice it is. I heard a tick from my phone and saw the message from that same private number,

Flowers for you and from now on I want to see only the happiest face of yours.

I am speechless. Suddenly an idea popped into my mind, why don't I message him back? But what if this leads to something terrible my mind said, my heart said to message him. I never went behind my heart but this time I wanted.

Hi, I don't know who you are and why you're sending this to me if you know me please tell me about yourself and you're somewhat scaring me and BTW thanks for the flowers.

I typed the message politely and waited for the reply. Minutes turned into hours and hours turned into a day but there is no reply to my message.

The next day I got ready to visit the orphanage which I do once in a while. I am donating money for the educational expenses for three kids. I am grateful that Lauren helped me but I can't return the money to her so she gave this idea to me. Nisha also wanted to come here so she accompanied me.

When I entered the kid's room, Samara, Claudia, and Jake ran towards me. I smiled seeing them they were so cute and sweet. Samara and Jake's parents abandoned them when they were four and now they were ten. And Claudia’s parents died in an accident just like my parents.

"Hi, kids, how are you all?"

"I am great," Samara said.

"I am fine," Jake smiled.

"We're fine Sara, how are you?" Claudia asked me.

"I am fine dear," I replied and pinched her cheeks. Nisha is also fond of these kids. I gave the cake which I baked to the kids and Mrs. Smith who was the Caretaker of this place welcomed us with a smile and hug.

After spending some time with the kids, Nisha and I decided to leave. Mrs. Smith called us to talk so we went to her room.

"Sara you know about Mr. Michael?"

"Yeah, he's my boss,”

"Oh, Sara that's great, you know what he's going to provide about ten million dollars to this orphanage,"

"What? Ten million dollars, oh that's great!!" I exclaimed and felt happy because it will be so much helpful for these kids. "I heard that he's going to donate money to charities across the world.”

"Your boss is a great guy," Nisha said.

“I am happy if you ever see him in person. Thank him, Sara,” Mrs. Smith said.

Then we waved goodbye to the kids. That night, I took a shower. Drying my hair with the towel I went near the window and looked at the apartments and penthouses. Heaving a sigh, I closed the windows and laid on my bed. I took my phone and looked at the message, still, that stalker didn't reply to my message.

The next day Edward e-mailed about officially shifting our office to the head office in Union Square. Tomorrow onwards we are going to work there and I am so excited.

.

.

The first day in the new office. I was excited and nervous. I am going to work with the same people but in a different environment.

I thought even that stalker wanted me to be happy and I also decided to change my life a little bit, so I agreed to go on that blind date next month because he informed me that he is busy this week.

I walked into that huge building with a smile and the receptionist informed me that my office is located on the 13th floor. There were so many people walking here and there. I noticed on the thirteenth floor there were two departments working, one is our financial department the other is the security department of this building.

The new office surprised me with its interior. The security guard who is standing before entrance asked for my ID and checked for the details and noted down something before allowing me inside.

I went to my seat.

"Hey Sara good morning," Kate greeted me.

“Oh morning, Kate,"

"What do you think about this new office, it's great right?”

"Yeah... good, different and I got confused to get here, but Kate why they are checking us like we are a terrorist"

"Oh that's for some security purposes, we can't avoid that and it's only for today,"

"Okay," I nodded.

The day went well and I liked my place. They have arranged everything neatly. In the afternoon Kate and I went for lunch and the cafeteria was really big like a football pitch.

"The food is great here," Kate said.

I gave a nod. After having our lunch Kate said that she's going out. I don't know which floor this cafeteria is located, I missed to notice that. There were three-ways to come here.

I came out and walked some distance, I smiled when I saw an elevator. I got in and pressed the button for the thirteenth floor.

It looked entirely different when the door opened on the thirteenth Floor. I thought whether it’s the same floor, god what I am going to do? I strolled and then, at last, I found someone who's walking in front of me.

"Excuse me,"

He turned to face me, from his looks and dress I can say that he's working in the security department.

"Yes,"

"Sorry to disturb you, will you tell me the way for the finance department because I lost my way,"

He smiled, "You're at the other end of this floor, go straight and you will reach your office,"

"Thank you so much,”

“No problem,”

When I was about to cross the entrance of the security department, I felt something strange and out of nowhere someone walked out of it. I looked at those pair of intimidating blue eyes again. Michael emerged from the giant glass door.

Seeing him close I can find how tall and handsome he is. I froze while crossing me he glanced at me. Our eyes locked just for a moment and my heart throbbed.

He walked away like a passing light.

"Why he's here?" a person standing next to me asked the guy who came out with Mr. Michael.

"Mr. Michael wanted to check out something on this floor and wanted me to check if all the CCTV cameras were working properly.”

Hearing that I thought, whether there is anything important on this floor.

At 7.00 pm, I decided to leave. It was so nice to travel looking at the city at this time. While walking to the house, I took my phone and opened the message box, but there's no reply from that stalker. When I was about to put that inside my bag, the reply came. I stopped walking when I saw

Am I scaring you?

Do you wanna know me?

Yes.

I replied simply. But unexpectedly the answer came fast.

Why do you want to know about me?

I left a sigh. Rolling my eyes.

Because I think you're stalking me and I want to know why you're doing this to me. Do you know me before?

You're right I am stalking you but I won't hurt you, even in my dreams. By the way, it's not good to text while walking on the road.

What! I turned around to find no possible suspect.

What do you want from me? -_-

I walked to my apartment and went straight into my room. I put my bag on the table. Then again a clunk, that message turned my eyes widen in shock.

I want you Sara and you're mine.

I stumbled on the bed and my hands started to shiver. It seems like he knows me well, he even knows my name.

Suddenly I heard the doorbell, my heart just jumped out to hear that.

Is that the stalker?

What should I do now? I thought and stood up from the bed, making my way towards the door.
