LEIGH-A*I

The following day, Laura and I got up early and piled up into my car and left for work. Before leaving, we had tried to catch even the slightest movement from the apartment across the hallway; but came up with nothing! And that meant one thing:

My neighbor spent the night at the police station.

Although that was rather unsettling, I felt like maybe I did what I had to do for my safety! Yes I was guilty, especially because the guy now, different from the guy previously. However, they weren’t that different. The only thing that was different this time was the lack of tattoos and gunshot wounds and scars. But from there, the voice, the physique, everything screamed the tattooed guy I met that day! And I really didn’t believe that it were two different people! Yes there were lots of coincidences in this life but come on guys! How can someone be a spitting image of someone and not know that particular person? I mean the guy is an absolute replica of that other guy, but then how do you explain the absence of tattoos? Because even if he had laser to remove them, there would have been some little scars and remnants of the ink! But there was absolutely nothing! Like his skin was as white as a writing pad! Unless it was really a coincidence! All these thoughts made me really dizzy and I didn’t want to think of this matter anymore. Whoever he was, then he would deal with the cops!

The day rolled by quickly and I got to help in a small surgery that was 3 hours long. At some point, I had thought of calling Valerie to let her know what had transpired in less than 24 hours of her departure. But a t the same time, thought against the very possible idea. If she was going to know of her boss’s arrest, then i t would be through him; not me! I spent the rest of the noon working on the upcoming annual event and before I knew it, I was driving home and this time; without Laura.

I wasn’t in the mood of cooking so as soon as I was in the safety of my house, I ordered in and took off the tight fitting clothes, changed into loose ones and sat in the living room while I waited for pizza to arrive.

The sound of the bell ringing had me rushing to the door and quickly yanked it open; with the thought that it was the delivery! Only to have my jaw drop to the floor when my eyes landed on not anyone but my neighbor in his mighty glory!

I managed to say because

night? What are you doing here? You want me to call the cops on you? Because I will definitely do it! You know I can do that right?” I tried to sound as brave as I intended but I really wasn’t sure if it came out that way! It felt like I was blabbering so I had to turn to the side to take two deep breathes,

invite you for dinner. I believe we have a bit of talking to do. To clear some misunderstandings! Don’t you think?” He emphasized

You promised to come back at me but I didn’t think that was serious.
