Chapter Four
" Well, well, well. Who do we have here?" he said, chuckling, and gave her an evil smile.
" My name is Jessica. Who are you and what do you want?"
" That's the dogs bollocks, Jessica. I know who you are. I have slept with you, and you say you don't know who I am?" he asked.
" I'm sorry, sir, but I really don't know who the fuck you are?"
" Jessica, or should I say Lizzie?" he said, gripping her wrist tightly.
" Look I don't know you, will you please just leave me alone?"
" But you do know me. I am your husband. I should know who my wife is."
Jessica gave him a fierce Chinese burn on the wrist that was holding her.
" You should know then, shouldn't you? Because sorry, whoever you are, but I am certainly not your wife."
" Yes, you are Elizabeth!"
" My name is Jessica."
" Whatever."
" Look, it's on my birth certificate, Jessica May-Louise Stevenson, if you must know. Not this Elizabeth who you think I am. Now let go!" she said pulling back her hand, and marching off back towards the B+B.
But Max ran after her. " I know you are Liz, Jessica. Give up the fight and I won't hurt you. You think that burn will chase me off, then you're wrong!" he called after her.
" Please, just leave me alone!"
" Maybe you're concussed. Shall I jog your memory?" he asked.
" Sorry, no thanks. I've got people to see, places to go. Sorry to interrupt your argument with your invisible wife."
" She's not invisible. She's you!" he said.
" Well, this is annoying. I am going to meet someone. I get thrown insults and abuse by a man who claims to be my husband! Maybe I should just go to the sheriff?" Jessica asked.
" No. No you mustn't. Fine, I'll leave you be. But be warned Elizabeth, I know where you are, and I am watching you!"
When he was out of sight, Liz/Jessica let out a long sigh. She ran to the nearest phone box, and put twenty cents into the dispenser.
She phoned Isabel.
" Hello?" asked Isabel in a sleepy voice.
" Isabel, It's Jessie, thank god you're in."
" What's wrong, Jessie?"
" He's back."
Isabel choked. " What?"
" Max, he's back."
" Where is he?"
" I think he was heading towards the Crashdown. I just had my first run in with him." Liz/ Jessie replied.
" Shit!" yelled Isabel. There was a mumble in the background at Isabel's end of the phone line.
" Isabel? Who's there with you?"
" It's just Kyle."
" Isabel, when's the wedding?"
" Shut up you!" she joked.
" Jessie, does he know you're, well, you?"
" Well, he thinks I'm Liz, well, he believes I'm Liz." She whispered into the phone.
" Did you try to pursuade him you're not?"
" Of course!"
" Isabel?"
" Yeah?"
" Why didn't you come to meet me?"
" Maria said she wanted a chat with you on her own."
" Ohmygod! That mean's she's there right now!"
" Yes, and?"
" Isabel! That's the direction Max went, she's gonna get trapped!"
" Wait for me outside 'Harry's haircuts'."
" Okay, By Iz."
" By, Jessie. Be safe." Said Isabel as she hung up.
Liz put the phone back on the hook.
She felt a presence behind her.
She felt something breathing hot breath down her neck.
Slowly, Jessie turned around.
She stared into the eyes of a tall dark stranger.
A hand was put over her mouth to stop her screaming.
The eyes were blue.
TBC.
