Chapter 19

Birds chirped in a distance.

The sound of persistent knocking made me sit up.

"Who's that?" I growled in annoyance.

"My bad Pumpkin, are you still sleeping? It's twenty minutes to eight"

My eyes flew wide open and I hurriedly got out of bed, my peripheral vision caught a note on my bed side table and I picked it up before reading it.

There's work tonight - Jason.

Jason was here yesterday.

Another knock.

"Did you go back to sleep?"

I squeezed the note and flung it into my wardrobe before opening the door for Kelvin.

"There she is. What took you so long?"

"Bathroom"

"Shower and come downstairs. You're cooking"

I glared at him but he just whistled merrily and walked down the stairs.

I quickly did my morning routine, wore a light blue off shoulder blouse with yellow flowers on it and deep blue skinny jeans.
