Thanks for all the great reviews guys! Well, here's the next chapter!
Chapter 4
When Mort woke up late in the morning the next day he didn't remember a thing about Shooter and the call last night. He glanced at his wristwatch; it was ten-thirty in the morning. He slowly rolled out of bed, and crawled in the shower. When he stumbled down the stairs and into the kitchen, he was greeted by a lively Celina.
"Sit down, I just got breakfast." She said and offered him a big smile. When he sat down, he froze; all the memory of last night's phone call came back. She walked over to him with two plates, "What's the matter?" she asked setting his plate in front of him.
"Oh, uh, nothing." He said and smiled at her.
She raised an eyebrow, and shrugged.
They were pretty silent most of the meal, and when Mort was done, he muttered thanks, and went back upstairs and sat at his desk. He was deep in thought. He wondered what Shooter would want with Celina, and why was it any of his business anyway. He sighed in frustration, and decided to work on his new version of 'Secret Window' until dinner.
Celina's P.O.V
When Mort went upstairs after breakfast, she noticed he seemed stressed, "He must be nervous about tonight." She said to herself. She decided to do some cleaning before she would start to get ready. She strode into the living room, and peeked upstairs to see Mort at his desk staring at the computer, playing with a slinky. She grinned and just by the sight of him, her heart began to beat faster. When she started to dust, and pick up the many things strewn across the floor, she realized for the first time that lots of people would be staring at them. It was a small town and everybody knew everybody's business, and when she was in the drugstore people were looking at her and they didn't even know her! Just think of how curious they would be of Mort, who supposedly killed four people.
'Oh well, I don't care what they think." She said quietly to herself while she dusted off one of the bookshelves. She looked through the books as she dusted, and saw several that she would find interesting. She looked at the clock, it was almost 3pm. She could probably stop cleaning and read until she would have to wash-up to go out to dinner.
She scanned through the books before deciding on a rather scary sounding one and plopped down on the couch, and took a better look at the title, 'Secret Window', and began to read.
Mort's P.O.V
Mort sat at his desk and tossed the slinky back and forth in his hands. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Celina spying on him, and he smiled, but he doubted se saw him. He decided that he'd better finish the story and leaned over his computer and began to type. He typed without knowing what he was writing; his mind was elsewhere.
'You know what he wants.' The other Mort in his head told him, 'He wants to kill her and make you miserable. You have to make her go away before it's too late.'
'No, I won't give up my life because of Shooter, damnit.' He hissed back to himself.
'Alright, but remember what happened when you didn't listen to me last time.' The other Mort replied calmly.
'Shut-up.'
The other Mort didn't' say anything, and Mort was pleased. He took out a cigarette and lit it and took a long drag on it. He was instantly relaxed. He stopped typing and decided to read over it and then he'd get ready for dinner.
Celina's P.O.V
Celina reached the end of chapter 4 and looked at the clock, it was almost 5pm. And they had decided to leave a little before 6pm, so she rolled off the couch and got in the shower. She reapplied her makeup and when it came time to get dressed, she realized that she had no idea where they were going, so she put on black jeans, a black long sleeved shirt with a plunging neckline; and black high heeled boots; she'd have a lot of black, but she'd be ready for anything.
When she was completely ready, she decided to see how Mort was doing.
Mort's P.O.V
Once it was past 5pm, he decided to get ready, but first he would tell Celina to do the same. At the thought of her his stomach did a flip-flop. And he blushed in spite of himself, and made his way to Celina's room. He peeked inside and heard the shower on in the bathroom to the left, so he quietly shut the door and thought he should do the same.
He stood soaking in the shower for long time thinking about Shooter and Celina. He didn't want to have a sheltered life because of Shooter, he would rather fight him, but on the other hand, he didn't want to hurt Celina in the process. He came to the conclusion that he shouldn't think about it anymore tonight as he stepped out of the shower and into his bedroom. He opened his closet and realized he had no idea where he was taking Celina. He supposed it would be somewhere not too fancy, so he put on a black long sleeved button up shirt (with a collar), and dark blue jeans with sneakers.
Before he left, he took a look in his mirror, and ran a brush through his hair that was in need of a dye-job, and walked down the stairs to Celina's room.
