Ant doesnât call. Not that I want him to call. Just that he said he would call, and he hasnât. For five days, not that Iâve been waiting for it, just that I noticed.
I donât see him either. Not anywhere. I spend the first couple of days freaking out and hiding in my apartment, but when nothing happens, I get more adventurous and return to my regular life. Iâm not disappointed. That would be silly. I donât want to talk to him, or see him. I just want to get back to normal. Which is exactly what I try to do. By the next Saturday, Iâm ready to invite my amazing friends over for dinner just so I don't have to spend another night alone. I make them spinach lasagna. Anam brings two bottles of cheap champagne, and Kelly brings a huge salad. Once the second bottle of champagne is opened, I spill and tell them everything about Ant. Every. Single. Detail.
Itâs the only thing they want to talk about from that moment forward.
âUgh, heâs so creepy.â Kelly shivers, she pours more champagne into the coffee mug she is using in lieu of a flute.
âI guess Iâve read too many dark romance books, because the stalking sounds kinda hot to me.â Anam laughs.
âItâs so, definitely, not hot.â Kelly puts a reassuring hand on my shoulder, and shoots Anam a look that makes Anam roll her eyes.
âWatching you all the time. He could have seen you doing anything.â Anam waggles her eyebrows.
Kelly furrows hers. âYes, exactly.â
âYeah, exactly.â Anam grins wickedly.
Yikes, he might have seen me doing anything. Eating, undressing, fucking.â â 1 My stomach flips at the idea. I canât believe part of me is in agreement with Anam.
âItâs just my stupid luck,â I admit. âThe first guy I attempt to have a one-night stand with, the best sex Iâve ever had, is also a stalker?â
âOoof, girl. The best ever?â Anamâs eyes go wide. âI mean, Iâm sure you can have more really good sex with other people.â She tries to cover for her slip.
âI think you should go to the cops,â Kelly says.
I run my fingers across Mercutioâs chin. He leans into my hand hard and purrs. After a brief back-and-forth for the adoption, Bailey brought him to my house. Heâs been the best cuddler and already has far too many toys.
âGo to the cops for what?â I ask. âBecause I found a couple pieces of trash at his house? The cops arenât going to DNA test a lip balm when he hasnât threatened me, or tried to hurt me. I havenât even actually seen him following me.â
âHeâs still a monster,â Kelly mutters.
âCryptids arenât monsters,â I say, feeling slightly defensive.
âNo, I mean figuratively a monster, for making you scared to even go outside,â she clarifies.
âIâm just so disappointed. We had such a nice time, we were together all weekend, and he was never anything but sweet. Even when I yelled at him. He just kind of accepted it, like he knew exactly what he did wrong.
