Chapter 2
After what seemed like hours of peering through my curtains, I pulled myself away to start my normal routine for work.
I turned on my shower to let the water heat up, it took ages to heat up here. While it did I undressed and brushed my teeth, glancing in the mirror to notice my completely dishevelled hair from all the withering around I had done during my dream.
I sighed.
'Just great, that's going to take ages to get out today', jumping in the shower, I let the hot water soothe my muscles and attempted to wash my hair but my fingers kept getting stuck in the knots so I gave up trying to remove them for now.
'Think I might have to go see Eric' I muttered.
By the time I got out of the shower it was 6:15, enough time for some breakfast, check the news and sort out Alice and Jasper, before having to leave for work.
Now I know what you're thinking.
Why would I have to sort out Alice and Jasper and who are they?
Well Alice and Jasper are love birds.
No, not that sort, literally love BIRDS! The type that have wings and are covered in feathers and fly, that sort of bird. I clean them out every other morning and make sure they are happy and fed.
Why and how the hell do I have them? I hear you ask. Well, when I moved in 2 yrs ago, the girl who lived across from me, Angela, was having a argument with someone one day in her apartment or flat, whatever it is you call them over here, I debated interrupting to check she was ok but thought better of it.
So I carried on into my place and was about to sit down when there was a knock at the door. I opened it to find Angela who looked a bit flustered and had feathers in her hair, very strange girl.
'Hi I'm Angela, sorry I haven't introduced myself before now, but can I ask you a favour?' I looked at her and raised an eyebrow,
'Um... Ok... What is it?' Confused as to what it could be as she had been arguing only minutes before.
And the feathers?
'Well...' She began, 'see I have these birds...' Oh god, ' and 1 has gotten out and he doesn't seem to like me, he won't come to me or let me catch him. I think he hates me and he just refuses.
I have been trying for over two hours, will you help me? pleeeease?' She blurted out all at once.
'Wait a minute, so you have an escaped bird in your apartment that you can't catch?'
'Yes' she replied out of breath,
'Well that certainly explains the feathers' I chuckled pointing to her hair.
She rolled her eyes and blew her hair from her face.
'Yeah, I guess so, so will you help me then? I smiled at her,
'Sure why not, could be fun' shrugging a little.
On entering Angela's apartment this green bird came flying at me and landed on my shoulder. Turns out it was the male, Jasper and he refused to budge, he liked me, and I kind of liked him.
Angela was so pleased when I finally placed him back in the cage with Alice for her,
'Thanks so much Bella, they seem to really like you, they certainly don't really like me' I smiled at the birds.
'Yeah, I kinda like them'.
Angela practically started bouncing; I looked over at her questionable,
'Do you want them?' She asked me, 'I've been waiting for someone to take them, please say yes?' All said at super speed.
Shaking my head and coming back to reality, I finished up sorting out Alice and Jasper, smiling at the memory of how I acquired them.
I must have been day dreaming for quite a while because if I didn't get a move on I would be late for work and no chance to pick up coffee on the way.
As I left and locked my apartment, I could have sworn I saw the dark figure again lurking in the shadows, but when I turned around, no one was there.
Am I just seeing things?
Is he even real?
