I'm only halfway through 2nd floor when Yelena finally pick up my phone call," Hey, I'm so sorry, I lost track of time," Yelena laugh before I notice another voice behind her," You okay?" She continue with a short chuckle, " Nothing I couldn't handle," I pause," Are you, okay?" I ask, Yelena giggle from the other side of the line, it's obvious she's currently drunk with someone wherever she is now, " Please tell me you're not still at the Venue," I stop short as I try to take off the strap off my heels with one hand while I'm holding the phone on another," He saw your face earlier and know your name, it's only time until he connected you to find me, lay low for now," I nod before I continue walking upstairs with both heels on my hand,
" Okay okay, Kate just dropped me at her place, what? yeah right she said it has tight security," Yelena chuckles quickly, I shake my head and let out a subtle sigh," I left you for few minutes and you already meet someone? so who's this Kate?" I ask playfully," A very cool woman who happened to go to NYU, she's one year above me though," Yelena laugh which brings me to chuckle slightly, " Figured," I shake my head to no one but myself," Gotta go, see you at lunch?" I ask quickly," Of course, your treats," Yelena chuckles in the same time she hang up, " I guess I'll see you tomorrow," I sigh a breath as I shove my phone back into my clutch and continue walking upstairs.
My hand freeze mid-air with the key in my hand just before I reach to unlock the door, stopping halfway as I wonder how the front door already slightly open the second I look up to the door, just because I have several drinks earlier I know well enough it wasn't that strong for me to think that I'm imagining what I'm seeing in front of me.
" No," I mutter to no one but myself as I shove clutch to the wooden table next to the front door before I make a walk inside my place, things scatter all around my living room and stretches into the other room as I try to walk my way through the mess on the floor, " No, no, no," I keep repeating under my breath as anger starts to built up inside me when I see the broken vase next to the balcony door that is wide open and the only thing that stop it from swinging is the broken antique statue I had from Wanda, " What the fuck," I curse under my breath and start lacing up my heels before I step into any of the shattering glass around the floor. I know I'd be an open target for the consequence of my side hustle but it doesn't stop anger and frustration suddenly rushing into me in the same time over the fact how someone's broke into my place, I couldn't help but to think whether they're regular burglar or someone trying to get back somethings that I stole among any other things and business.
My body's reflex moving quickly into hiding behind the hallway separating my bedroom to the rest of the place as soon as I hear heavy footsteps approaching on the front door, I hold my breath before I notice they're walking inside my living room and whatever it is they're looking, something tells me they haven't found them yet, " Shit," I mutter to no one but myself as my eyes travel around for anything I could use for defense, wishing for some kind of weapons but the handy dagger I've been keeping for safety from Pietro is tucked underneath between my bed and my bedside table whilst my kitchen knives are still too far out of reach from my hiding spot Shit. My heart beat rapidly the closer those heavy boots gets, I reach for the silver frame off the small corner table and hold it tightly with both hands I get myself ready, collecting all the anger to slap the frame to whoever's face walking toward me because this is definitely not how I imagined tonight will turned out.
