Chapter 20: A short while

As the old woman dragged them inside sh whispered something to Dave's ear and as he chuckled slightly as he looked at Olivia who sensed the interaction.

"What's so funny care to share" she asked.

"Yes why not, she just reminded me of your skirt, it's inside out" Dave said as everyone looked at her skirt.

"Ha ha really funny I'll go change" she said as she ran inside.

She looked at the window and when she looked down she noticed her left arm had disappeared further confirming her suspicions. She brought out her diary and wrote:

Small quantity= 7-8 hours

Medium quantity= 9-12 hours

Large quantity= 13-16 hours

Extra large quantity=???

She looked at the note and as she wrote the last sentence she realized she hadn't tried the slime in extra large quantity so she looked for the container only to find out it was missing, she looked around and as she looked at her second arm she realized it had vanished.

She started to panic, she just got here but things were already going south. As she was about to tear up she noticed someone by the window. It was Dave and he looked more casual than before. He sat by her window and observed her.

"Looking for something" Dave asked startling Olivia who barely noticed him.

"Yes the slime container, but how did you get in"

"through the window, what other way does a normal person get in" he said as he scoffed loudly.

"Hmm, you need serious help " she said as she continued to look for the container.

"Aren't you going to help me look" Olivia asked.

"No, not really" he said as he leaned on the frame of her bed. Olivia's facial expression changed and as she was about to pounce on him like a hungry lion she heard him say

"Because I already have it"

As he handed the container over to her they hands touched and she couldn't help but blush at the romantic encounter. Dave being the lunatic that he was didn't help as he leaned in closer and yelled into her ears.

Olivia jumped as the lunatic laughed. She wondered why the lunatic had to be cute and she couldn't help but stare at him.

He laughed as he escaped using her window.

She wondered why her room had always had an " easy elevator window" and for a minute she wished the windows would magically shut whenever an annoying person tried to access her window but sh knew it would not be possible as long as lunatics like Dave existed, girls like her would always have to keep their windows open.

She applied a little of the slime on her skin. As she walked downstairs she saw her grand mother smiling. She looked at Dave who seemed to enjoy her company.

"Gran Gran why don't you tell us about that time when you caught so many fishes that even the fishmongers had to submit to you" Olivia asked and her grandmother narrated the encounter.

"You know I think you got yourself a good fish yourself I wonder why people don't stalk you" she said in a low whisper as she called Dave a fish.

Olivia chuckled slightly but as she remembered the previous night she remembered the man who was by her window.

He knew about her and for some reason he seemed to know about the slime too. Was he really stalking her or did he use her window to scare her just like Dave did. Olivia sighed as she looked at her grandmother who seemed lost in one of her many stories.
