We was just a few girl's who thought it would be amazing to spend several month's in Italy after college graduation. One last major bash before reality set in and we headed out into the world to make our mark. However my reality was very different f...
After that last text I kept eyeing my phone expecting it to buzz at anytime but thankfully it didn't. Maybe that's it and I'll never hear back from him or I hoped so anyway.
My first instinct was to share this entire creepy encounter with Tory but she was still conked out. I knew if I woke her she would be a grouch and I couldn't deal with that at the moment. I definitely couldn't let Keeley catch wind of this at all. She'd go into full fledge panic mode and insist we catch the first silver bird out of here.
Needless to say my once relaxing mood had shattered and there was no way to get back into now. Deciding that some fresh air and sunshine might ease my peace of mind, I slipped into a cotton sundress and scooted my feet into a pair of flats. Grabbing my phone, earbuds, wristlet wallet and house key I headed outdoors.
I strolled around for a bit taking in all the sights but I jumped at everything, a honking horn, someone whizzing by on a scooter or and accidental brush up. Finding a unique bistro I sat outside on the street patio. My stomach couldn't handle much today due to my excessive drinking the night before so I ordered a piece of toast and water. As I sat there I glanced at each individual male face wondering if they could be my phone stalker. Then it got worse, I wondered if he could actually be watching me right now. A shiver ran up my spine at that thought.
Just as I was ready to pay my tab my phone buzzed causing a knee jerk reaction from me. I tipped my water over in my rush to see my phone. Dabbing my mess up I read my text. Thanking my star's that it was just Tory wandering where I was I replied back.
"Out having lunch. Be back soon. Really need to talk to only youwithout Keeley".
Hitting send, I paid my bill and made my way back to our flat. As I entered I was releaved to find that Keeley was still dozing. "Wow. She must have really partied hard last night". I stated.
Tory giggled. "It doesn't take much for her to party hard. Care to talk now?"
I sat down beside her and showed her the texts. "This has me so wigged out girl. Like what do I do?"
Her eye's got big as she read on. "You were right about one thing JJ, Keeley mustn't know about this".
"I know right. Now what do you think?" I asked as I filled her in on what happened when I tried to phone the athourites.
"I don't know JJ. Maybe it is just some asshole trying to scare you. Let's just play it by ear for now. If it continues we will go to the authorities instead of phone. Okay?"
I nodded my head and felt better after having talked about it. Almost as if I could talk it away. We heard Keeley stir and sealed our mouths. She entered looking hell bent, mumbled a quick hello then disappeared into the bathroom. Suddenly I felt extremely tired and decided to take a nap. Once in my room I peeled my dress off my sticky skin and fell onto the cool sheets. The air in our place wasn't the greatest so it was common that we slept naked often. My eyelids started to get heavy and I soon drifted off.
Keeley woke me sometime later and said that her and Tory was going out for dinner. At the mention of food my stomach released a loud rumble reminding me that I'd barely eaten today. Sitting up slowly, I reached for my dress and slid it over my head. Stepping into my flats I made my way to the bathroom to relieve myself, run a brush through my wild mane and brush my sleep breath away. Applying a bit of lipstick I rushed from the bathroom to join my friend's.
It was dusk by now and the sky was beautiful shades of red and purple. After my nap I felt more at ease and as the night of fun wore on I found myself not even thinking about the odd texts. It was close to midnight when we returned home. We all decided to retire to our rooms because Keeley had signed us up for another long site seeing tour tomorrow before lunch.
As I stretched lazily along my bed preparing myself for sleep my phone beeped. Suddenly fear came rushing back and gripped me by the throat. I slowly picked up my phone as if it was a bomb that could go off at anytime. As I saw the unknown number shine brightly my insides turned. Opening the text this is what I saw.

"Care to have a night cap with me Foxy".
Placing my hand to my forehead I silently prayed that this wasn't happening. It was all a long dream but I knew this was reality. Knowing he wouldn't stop I replied.
"No. I don't drink whiskey and I detest smoke".
Please just make this stop but of course it didnt. Within moment's my phone buzzed.
"What does please you then Foxy?"
I nearly laughed out loud after reading his text. Is this asshole for real? Hmmm... what does please me I thought then punched my text out.
" what pleases me is not being bothered by some perv. What pleases me is someone leaving me alone afterI ask them to. What would please me to the ends of the earth is if you would disappear. There. That's what pleases me".
He replied back all too soon. With a reluntic heart I read his next text.
"Oh JJ, you hurt my heart so. Truly you don't want me to disappear do you? There'splenty of people that wish me gone everyday but I rid the world of them instead."
I was sleepy and really wasn't up for these mind game's. Yes he warned me in our earlier texts not to leave him on seen but I just didn't care at the moment. Laying my head back down I shut my eye's but it only lasted momentarily because as I suspected it would my phone buzzed.
"Back to leavingme on seen again are we? I'll let it slide this time love. I know it's late and your probably tired. Look out at the star's Jacey. Just know that I'mviewingthe same star's as you my dear. Sleep well my JJ. Until tomorrow 😙
