My stalker...i think
Ch.1 Gazing into my soul
I see him everyday at the cafe, I feel his eye's on me while I'm taking orders and bringing the food out, when it's closing time he's always the last one there. I know he follows me home, but it doesn't bother me too much...it kind of makes me feel better; every night before I go to bed I turn off the lights and look out of my window to watch him leave, I think he just wants to make sure I'm safe. Even if that's true, I don't think he should be in his car outside of my house on Christmas day...it makes me feel horrible, seeing as I had friends and family members stop by earlier. But now it's getting dark and everyone has left, it's snowing pretty hard outside and he's still there...
I now find myself walking outside toward his car, I don't know why I'm doing this...it just...feels right. I'm trudging through the thick snow in only my boots, baggy sweat pants, and fluffy sweater; I then tapped on his window with my nail and not a few seconds later he rolled it down and I'm staring into beautiful turquoise eye's. For a moment I was at a loss of words...until a harsh gust of cold wind snapped me back to reality, then I cleared my throat and looked off to the side while opening my mouth to speak...he must think I'm weird.
"Um, w-would you...like to c-come inside for some h-hot chocolate?" I curse myself for stuttering, then I look at him once more hoping he'd say yes, he looks down as he thinks about it; I assume.
"Please...it would make me feel better if you did," he captures my eye's yet again and after a couple of more seconds he finally nods his head, I smile brightly and back up so he can get out of his car. It amazes me how I hadn't noticed before that he's so tall; he shuts his car door and follows me into my house...I lived alone ever since my brother Neji died of a brain tumor three years ago. Neji was in his late twenties when he died, he gave me this big house after we found out about his brain tumor; so now I have two jobs to keep it...this house is the only memory I have left of him.
I close and lock the door after he walks inside, I then turn around to face him...I'm just now realizing the color of his hair. It's blood red and really wild, he doesn't look like the type to dye his hair; I smile at him again then walk forward a bit to close the distance.
"Well...make yourself at home while I prepare the hot chocolate," now I'm not going to lie, I do feel a bit uncomfortable, but I mean...it's not just because he's a stranger, it's because he hasn't said a single word to me.
I walk passed him heading toward the kitchen and inwardly sigh, if Neji was still alive...he'd give me the lecture of a lifetime; once in the kitchen I begin to search for the kettle in cabinets. I found it and filled it up with water, placed it on the stove while turning the fire on...then I grab a box full of cocoa and pull out three packs, yes three...I've always loved drinking my cocoa chocolaty. After the water was hot enough I grabbed two cups from the dish strainer and emptied the packets of cocoa in them, then the hot water.
I walk from the kitchen to the living room to see that the man is looking at a picture of me and Neji. So I set the cups down on the small table by a long sofa and some love seats and walk to where the man is.
"That's my brother Neji, he passed away three years ago...but he left this house to me before he died," the man's eye's move in my direction and I shy away. I need to ask him for his name, then maybe he'll talk.
"Uh, I know this is kind of late but...w-what's your name?" he then turns to fully face me, it seems as though he's staring into my soul...after a while his lips begin to part; my heart is racing like crazy and I can't control my excitement from just wanting to hear his voice.
"Gaara," my eye's widen at this...his voice is...I don't say this very often unless it's true but it's...sexy,
deep, and smooth, and his name fits him really well...; oh yea, I haven't given him my name yet.
"W-well it's nice to meet you...Gaara, my name is Hinata," I smile a small genuine smile at him before walking over to the couches.
"We should probably drink these before they get cold," I then gesture to the abandoned hot chocolate on the small glass table. As I sit down on the sofa with my cup, I see Gaara from the corner of my eye walk to where his cup is and pick it up...then he sat down on the love seat opposite me.
I have absolutely no idea what to say, I feel like I'm going to choke on this cocoa any minute now from nervousness. I have to say something, anything to start a conversation...but I don't think he will cooperate, and if he does it'll most likely be one word at a time seeing as the only thing he said was his name.
"Sorry...Gaara, I'm not really good at starting a conversation," I look at the cup in my hand while saying this.
"Don't apologize," his reply caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting him to say anything. I then look up to see him staring at me yet again, but this time it's really intense...I have to turn my head to avoid his gaze because I can feel my cheeks burning. I finally notice how late it is and start to panic, I quickly finish my drink and get up to look out the window; it's snowing like a hurricane out there, there's no way I'm letting him drive home in that kind of weather; I then take out my phone from my pants pocket to look at the time...it's 11:50. Yea there is definitely no way he's leaving, I guess he's just going to have to stay the night; I turn back around and come face to chest with him...I had no idea he was behind me that whole time, he's like a ninja or something. I regain my posture and look up at him.
"I have to leave," he walks out of the living room before I could protest, I'm really shocked at this...but I can't let him leave, not when the weather is getting worse with each passing minute. I run after him to the front door, but he closes it as soon as I turn the corner...so I pull on a puff coat before I yank the door open and closed it behind me.
I jog out into the street and glance to where his car is, it's covered in snow, so he is most likely walking...I look right to left and I see a blurry figure in the distance, so I run at full speed trying to keep up. The freezing cold air is slashing and numbing my face along with my hands that are now balled into fists, as a poor attempt to keep them warm, I'm now close enough for him to hear my calls but I keep running in case he still can't hear me; he walks so fast, too fast in fact...I guess that should be expected since he has such long legs, thanks to his height. It's getting clearer, I should probably try it now.
"Gaara!" I try screaming over the howling wind but he didn't turn around. I suck in as much air my lungs can hold.
"GAARA!" yup, that was enough; he whipped himself around and came to an abrupt holt, so I took this opportunity to run even faster...I can't stop my legs now, and he's right in front of me. Having nothing else to do at this point, I then jump up and wrap my arms around his neck, then I wrap my legs around his waist on instinct. Whenever I used to chase after Neji when we were younger...I would always do this to him, and scold him for leaving the house without me.
"What were you thinking? It's too late and freezing cold to walk home right now...you can stay the night," I release him and jump off, his eye's are bit wider, or at least it looks like they are. I don't want to stay out here any longer so I grab his hand and lead him back to the house; it's taking a while to get back and I'm freezing my ass off, but we're getting closer.
Once inside I take my puff coat off and hang it back on the coat rack, I look at Gaara and he's already removing his jacket; I'm blushing like a tomato as realization just hit me...I hugged a man I barely know, I have to apologize.
"I'm sorry Gaara...I didn't mean to...jump on you, It's just...when I was younger I used to chase my brother after he'd storm out of the house, because he would always get into fights with my father. So I guess when you left all of a sudden...it triggered old memories," I glance up at him to see that he's staring at me with the same intensity as before. I can't believe how much I've blushed today, even now I find myself blushing...It's that stare of his that's making me feel like this, whenever he looks at me my heart speeds up, and every time he speaks it skips a beat.
"Um, we should probably be going to sleep now...I'll show you to your room," we're walking up the stairs now and I'm feeling nervous again; I still have no idea why I'm being so nice to my supposed stalker, much less letting him sleep in my house. But now I have decided that I'll ask him why he's been watching me all this time tomorrow morning.
"This is the guest room, the bed is king sized so I hope it'll be comfortable for you...and there's a personal bathroom too. I'll be back with some clothes just in case you want to take a shower," he walks inside the room after I say this and I then start to walk to my brother's room.
I'm in front of it now, it's hard to even look at the door...I turn the knob and push the door open, then steadily begin to walk inside. I haven't been in his room ever since he died; I quickly walk to the closet door clicking it open, and there they are...all of Neji's shirts; I took a black and gray short sleeve shirt and closed the door. Then walked towards a light brown wooden dresser and open the middle drawer looking inside, and I pull out some black sweat pants placing them in my arm...I look down once more and notice something white sticking out from under another pare of sweats. Me being curious I grabbed it and began studying it; it's an envelope, I flip it around to the front and see small print that said,
To: My dear little sister Hinata.
From: Neji
