Instincts.

(Evelyn and her mother)

* * * * * * * *

" So about last night__

" Mom, we're not gonna talk about last night. " Evelyn quickly said before her mother could finish her sentence.

" So, is GABRIEL out of the house now? "

Evelyn could tell she was bluffing, " I suppose so... "

She nodded, " Tell her I said hi, "

" You don't mean it. "

" Nope. "

" I figured, " Evelyn sighed as she approached her car, " Alright mom, I'm off to work. "

" Evelyn. " She called back softly.

Evelyn paused, " Yeah? "

" Be careful, "

Evelyn smiled, " I'm gonna be fine mom, okay? "

" Call me when you get home and please be careful, I have a bad feeling and I can't__

" Bye, mom! " Evelyn could not wait to get the hell out of there.

Taking a deep breath, she zoomed out of the house. Thoughts once again ran through her mind as she journeyed to work. Thanks to her mother last night, she could not get any sleep. She resulted working all through the night. Of course, that wasn't what she wanted, but her mother had interrupted her mid-climax, how frustrating. She banged her hands on the steering wheel as she remembered how embarrassed she felt seeing her mother inside the bathroom last night.

Evelyn couldn't help but blame Maya for all her endless string of bad luck, if she had not forgotten the keys, Evelyn would have been in the comfort of her home. She would have been safe and confined within the walls of her bathroom, not having to worry about her mother interfering with her affairs. And after she has concluded, she would have snuggled up inside her covers, fully relaxed and stress-free for that night. She would have woken up the next morning with a bright smile on her face, knowing fully well that she had released the previous stress and was prepared for what the new day had to offer. But she didn't, now she was already feeling tired, frustrated, and angry and her day had just begun.

Evelyn pulled over in the park, she paused for a short while, arranging her hair, and adding lipgloss on her lips. She patted her cheeks as she prepped for whatever the day had to offer. She got out of the car and took a few steps away but suddenly paused when she noticed something. She took a fixed glance around and realized she was parked at a very familiar spot. Evelyn placed her hand under her chin as she tried to remember why she felt a strong sense of Deja Vu.

She gasped in shock as she finally could recall why, it was at this spot she cracked the window of that obnoxious stranger. Evelyn's heart skipped a beat, she shook her head in disbelief. There was no way that crazy man was back here looking for her. Evelyn couldn't deny the fact that she was shaken, she could tell that it was the same car because the crack was still on the window. Evelyn walked closer to it and carefully examined it.

* * * * *

" Why didn't he fix it yet? Why the hell is he even here? " She gasped, " Is he stalking me? No way! " Evelyn panicked as she glared around to make sure that she was alone.

" No, no it can't be true. There's absolutely no fucking way that weirdo is here, right? it's probably just a coincidence. " Evelyn bit her lips as she laughed hysterically, " I'm going crazy standing here talking to myself. "

Without a second thought, Evelyn took to her heels inside the office.

Once she was in, she could tell everyone was on edge, but she couldn't tell why. Making her way inside the elevator she spotted Danny, he was getting water from the cafeteria. She felt like her heartbeat increased, she couldn't care less why he was there, she was just thrilled to see him. She wasn't aware when a smile surfaced on her lips. Diverting away from her initial location, she ran towards him, hugging him from the back with a broad smile on her face. Danny turned over hugging her also but from the front this time.

Evelyn soaked in his scent, " I missed you so much, " She said softly, " How have you been? "

Danny glanced around awkwardly, " Evelyn, my boss is around, "

" Why didn't you tell me you were coming? " Evelyn ignored his question.

" Well for starters, coming here was kinda unexpected. " Danny replied.

Evelyn arched a brow, she was so excited to see Danny that she had failed to ask why he was here. " Wait, why are you here? "

" With my boss obviously. "

Evelyn stared around, " Your boss? " Evelyn asked.

" Yeah, " Danny said grabbing the water.

" But why is your boss... " She paused, " Shit! " Evelyn came to a realization.

" What is it? " Danny asked.

" Your boss is my boss. " Evelyn replied in a haste, " Shit! the boss is here? " She stared around in haste.

" Would you please relax? "

" Incase you don't know, whenever the boss comes here, it's never good. " Evelyn blurted out.

" Okay? " Danny was slightly confused.

" I didn't know the boss was coming, where is he? What does he look like? will he__

" Calm down, you don't know what your boss looks like? "

" No one has seen him, at least not in this branch. Why is he here? "

" Don't worry, " Danny replied as he began walking away, " I think it has something to do about an insider, not sure how. "

Evelyn rushed over to him with a surprised look on her face. " An insider? wait__

" Evelyn I need to go okay? we'll talk later. "

" Danny, " She was dying to ask him about his plans for their anniversary the next day.

" I love you. " She replied.

Danny smiled, " You too. "

Evelyn stood inside the elevator smiling sheepishly as she got to her desired floor. Evelyn got off the elevator to see Maya walking by. Their eyes met, and Evelyn gave her the death stare, while Maya fidgeted. Evelyn's mood instantly changed, her fingers clenched as she slowly marched toward Maya. Maya knew hell was about to break loose, her eyes pitiful as she in turn tried to get away.
