THE ANGEL

It's 7am right now and I've been awake for about 15 mins but my body feels like it's still asleep, so I'm just laying here tucked in a soft blanket and feeling the warmth of the sunlight ,peeking through the gap between the two curtains and softly touching my skin on a winter morning.

This moment is giving me a kind of relaxation which I've been craving for a while, it makes me feel almost relieved, ALMOST.

No matter how much I wanted this to be forever, I knew it wasn't, so instead I slowly removed the blanket and got up from bed and my feet touched the cold floor,not being able to bear the cold, I quickly put on my slippers and made my way to the washroom and completed all my morning routine one by one.

I have the first class today from 9 am which means I still have 30 minutes left, so I decided to grab some coffee and complete some reading, as I was reading, I completely lost track of time, this happens to me everytime, I was already 5 mins late and the walk from the library building to the humanities building was for about 10 mins which means I was already 15 mins late and the professor is remarkably arrogant, I don't know what's gonna happen..

When I slowly opened the door and entered the class, every pair of eyes fell on me even when I wanted to be as invisible as possible, the professor however didn't say anything, he just glanced at me once and then got back to what he was teaching.

The rest of the class was boring but I managed to keep my eyes open somehow. After the class ended I quickly started to gather my belongings and I was about to leave when I saw a guy approaching me, "hey! You're Caroline, right? " , I didn't know him but he's kind of handsome and really hot ,his eyes we're the darkest shade of blue with a hint of green in them and his hair was the perfect contrast with his eyes,dark brown which almost looks black but it's brown and his skin is not completely smooth but its beautiful anyway, he is tall but not alot maybe 5'9 ,how have I not noticed him before?, "Yes, I am" I replied with a soft smile, these were the times when I became extremely nervous, maybe that's why I've never been in a relationship in my nineteen years of life."I'm Jacob, We have two classes together" Really two class? But I've never noticed him before but whatever I'm not that much observant either "Nice to meet you, jacob" I don't know why I said that, it was too formal but I said it anyway, He just looked at me with a smile on his face, a grin to be exact , as it was getting awkward I just took my bag and made my way towards the corridor and Jacob just followed me, "I was hoping maybe when you're free, we can grab some fries from the shop down the road, I've heard it serves the best fries in this area" he said, Was he asking me out?? Yeah he was .. "Oh, yeah. That sounds great. Maybe tonight?" And not so surprisingly his face lit up "Yeah, definitely tonight " I tried to reciprocate the same amount of happiness but guess I failed so I just waved at him and we parted our ways and I went to my dorm because my next class was at 11 and I had almost 45 mins left so I just decided to get some of my studies done, I was about to open the door when I saw a sock on the handle, 'god!! Who the hell has sex at this hour of the day???!! '

I thought and made my way toward the coffee cart standing outside the building and bought myself another cup of coffee and sat on the nearby bench , that's when the my phone vibrated with a text, I opened the phone while sipping my coffee and saw it was a text from an unknown number and the coffee in my mouth suddenly tasted like poison, fear crept me and I almost chocked on my coffee . I tried to calm myself but I failed,the world around me became a blur. It was a text from my STALKER.

THE ANGEL

My stalker has texted me again, this was the second time he's ever texted me, the last time was about two months ago when I went to a night club with Anne , my best friend, and I danced with a guy and let him kiss me inspite of my stalker warning me not to let any man come near me let alone touch me. But I disobeyed him and the next morning he sent me a video showing the guy whom I kissed , begging me to make my stalker let him go and there was blood dripping from his ears, mouth and his whole body was covered with deep cuts, it was disgusting and painful for me to even watch it . The thought of it also made me nauseous.

I thought of all the things which I've done today or yesterday which could make my stalker angry but nothing came in my mind. As much as I wanted to ignore the text I wanted to read it too, and I let my curiosity win and opened the text, my hands were shaking and I could hear my heart beat fasten.

The stalker-Do you want daddy to punish you, little angel?

What does he mean by punishing me??

What have I done now??

Me-what do you mean??

Him-if that little brat ,Jacob, even talks to you again, he dies,

I mean it.

My breath got stuck in my lungs, I couldn't breathe. Was he really going to kill him?????????

Oh my god if he does then I'll be the reason for his death. The thought made me shriver, Everything became black around me and I felt the coffee cup in my other hand fall on the ground but I couldn't do anything it felt as if someone else was controlling me, I saw black space in front of me and my breathing stopped, I wanted to do something but my body was not listening to me. And after that everything became a blur..

I slowly opened my eyes blinking a few times to adjust to the light, I saw a familiar room around me, I was in my dorm room, I let myself be like that for sometimes, wait what time is it?, I quickly looked for my phone and found it on the table beside my bed I checked it and it was 3pm But why am I in bed at three pm?

Every thing that happened today came rushing in my mind, Jacob asking me out, my stalker's threat to kill jacob and my blacking out, oh my god, did he really kill him, but I haven't talked to Jacob so there's a possibility he didn't. But I was sitting on a bench outside the building how did I come here, someone must've carried me here.

I quickly stood up to check on Jacob but that's when I decided that maybe it's best if I don't. As I started to walk I became aware of the fact that there's a throbbing pain I'm my head, it was inevitable because all I had since morning was a cup of coffee . I didn't want to go outside in the cafeteria for food but my stomach made me do otherwise.

I went to the cafeteria, and it was closed, well that was completely understandable. So I started walking to the nearest restaurant. It was not a restaurant but a café with a really cute interior, I really tried to make myself co, and I did a little I couldn't completely shake the feeling that someone is watching me all the time, it was uncomfortable, But I couldn't really do anything even if I wanted to because The last report I filed to the Police station about my stalker was cancelled, I don't know why but they announced it was fake ,so legally there was no way I could get to the person and I didn't have any legal means s, so just gave up, maybe this is how my life is supposed to be. As I waved my hand at one of the waiter they quickly came to me with a polite smile on her face and I reciprocated the behavior and placed my order. While I was waiting for my food to be served I was looking at the interior of the shop and admiring it that's when I heard The front door of the shop open and I don't know for what reason I decided to look, and now I was regretting it, as I was unable to remove my focus from the man who came in through the door, The man was muscular and ravishingly handsome, he was tall about 6'4 maybe and his hair was reddish brown, and it looked messy, but that was enhancing its beauty even more, his skin was perfectly tanned and his face was so perfect that it felt as if a very renowned sculptor has very carefully sculpted him with all his concentration. He was wearing a loose black shirt and his sleeves rolled up and despite the shirt being loose his muscles were perfectly visible as his shirt softly hugged his body specially his hand and he also wore beige trousers, maybe that was the most gorgeous thing a man could ever wear. I couldn't properly see his eyes for there was few strands of his red hair on his face. He said something to the waiter which I couldn't hear and sat on a nearby bench and was about to take something out of his pocket when he suddenly looked up and his gaze met mine and that's when I was able to see his eyes perfectly, they were gorgeous, his eyes were the perfect shade of light green, almost sea green, they were absolutely breathtaking. Seeing that I was completely lost in his beauty, he smiled or maybe smirked, and I quickly removed my gaze and tried to turn on my phone and look at it, but I just couldn't resist looking at him, 'what hell is wrong with me?!?! ' I thought to myself while pretending to look at something in my phone, but suddenly he stood up and walked towards me, the amused reaction on his face still there, I quickly tried to concentrate on something on my phone, but I couldn't really see anything, "It was out of my knowledge that someone can use their phone upside down" He said in his deep husky voice and his extremely sexy British accent, and his amused grin still plastered on his face. I don't know why but this made a shiver run down my spine. I tilted my head a bit and looked at him and replied" Didn't know you were paying so much attention to something a stranger is doing" I tried to sound confident and calm, but I was anything but. He sat on the chair across the table and looked straight in my eyes, and said" Do you not want me to pay attention to you? " British accent is going to be the death of me someday specially if the voice speaking it is so masculine. I gulped at the sudden formation of a lump in my throat, but it didn't help, "What do you mean? " His smirk widened" You know exactly what I mean" We were interrupted by the sudden arrival of my food, I was partly thankful and partly disappointed by that. He quickly stood up to his feet and went to his previous position before smiling and nodding at me once, I wanted to reciprocate it but couldn't bring myself to do that, I ate my food and was about to pay the bill when the waiter informed me that it was already paid, and she informed me that the man who was sitting across me paid the bill and by the time I was leaving he has left too, why would he pay the bill for the food of a complete stranger, and he also flirted with me,'what the hell was wrong with him? ' I murmured to myself, I wanted to know his name but guess I was out of luck.

THE DEVIL

I saw my little angel today. She was looking exhausted and paler but beautiful anyway, her pitch black hair was tied into a loose ponytail and a few strand of hair were falling on her face, as much as I wanted to tuck them behind her ears, I couldn't do that, I have to be a little more patient, her lips were plump as always and her eyes were just the colour of her hair but today they looked tired and I was basically the reason for it and I knew that.

After I threatened her that I would kill That Jacob, if she talked to him, she fainted,and luckily I was nearby and I could carry her safely to her dorm and I really wanted to stay there until she woke up and take care of her but again I couldn't do that,because she'd freak on after seeing me. I wanted to make sure she was alright so I just waited outside her dorm building until she woke up and then luckily I saw her heading toward a cafe nearby and then I remembered that Beatrice, my little sister, was asking me to bring cupcakes for her so I took the opportunity and bought them from the cafe where my little angel went. And paid for what she ordered.

I know it wasn't right for me to threaten her like that because my baby is still a little girl but the thought of her going on a date with someone else made my blood boil and at that moment I wasn't thinking straight.

I've been awake for 1 hour now , everytime I close my eyes to get some sleep her smiling face comes up and the conversation which we had, It was the first time I talked to my little angel in person, and surprisingly she was admiring me,' maybe she's fallen in love with me,just Like I did '. I thought to myself and a smile involuntarily crept up on my face, I couldn't sleep so I thought that it'd be best if I saw my baby sleeping, maybe it'll help me sleep too.

Thinking this I got up from my bed and took my laptop and opened it and again sat on my bed, I quickly logged in to the site where I could see her dorm room from the camera which is placed in one of the bookshelves in her room after adjusting my eyes to the darkness in her room, I saw my little angel sleeping peacefully in her bed , tucked in a blanket . She looked so cute while sleeping, I really wanted to hug her to sleep and watch her sleep in my arms but for doing all this I still needed to wait a year or two, because my baby was just nineteen. I saw her shift a little in her bed and continue sleeping peacefully. I kept watching her and didn't notice when I myself got into deep slumber.

I lazily opened my eyes and my eyes quickly fell on the screen of my laptop and the girl I love, My little angel gets up at around 7 am and right now it is 6 am which means she's not gonna get up in an hour, so I just kept my laptop open and was about to get in the washroom when I heard her groan a little , so I quickly focused on her through my laptop and saw that one of her hands were on her forehead. My baby was having a headache. I wanted to go there and comfort her but I controlled myself, I watched her as she made her way to her cupboard and took out something and having a closer look I understood that it was medicine, her steps were slow and I could tell by just looking at her that taking each step was hurting her, she faltered a little but successfully made her way towards her bed, 'where the hell is her roommate? ' I murmured to myself. Then she quietly had her medicine drank some water and got back to sleep. I wanted to keep an eye on her for the whole day but unfortunately I had back to back meetings today, so I just texted my assistant and told him to send one of my men to look after Caroline for the day. I knew that they would not be as careful as me but they were trained so they were close .
