The Stalker
Contract of a StalkerMark parked his motorcycle in front of a building where his apartment was located. Suzy dropped down and took off her helmet.
Mark withdrew a key inside his pocket and handed it to Suzy, “Here. Take my key and go upstairs. My apartment is at the rooftop.”
Suzy hesitantly took the key and asked, “Why are you giving this to me?”
“You can sleep in my apartment since I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”
Suzy furrowed her brows confusingly. “What? Why?”
Mark let out a sigh, being annoyed because Suzy keeps on asking questions. “You don’t need to know why. Just go upstairs, open my apartment and lock it when you’re already inside. I will be back tomorrow morning. You can leave the key under the pot in front of the doorway. Okay?”
“Huh? O-okay,” she replied still confused why Mark is letting a stranger like her to go inside his apartment. Well, she guesses Mark trusts her already. Wow.
Suddenly, a flash of light hit Suzy’s face. He took a photo of Suzy using his camera. “Just to make sure you won’t steal anything inside my apartment, I need your photo for evidence, alright? Bye.” Then, he twisted the handles of the motorcycle and left. Nah. He still doesn't trust her that much.
“Geez, man. I’m not a thief but thanks!” Suzy replied half-heartedly then went upstairs to open Mark’s apartment.
As she entered, Mark’s apartment, the first thing she noticed was how organized and clean the place was. She scanned every nook and no dust or trashes can be found. She was amused. “Unbelievable,” she whispered. “I can’t believe a guy can be as clean as him.”
After, she entered his room curiously and scanned it. Another thing which caught her attention was the photo frame on his table. She picked it up and smiled a little while looking at the photo. She said, “Wow. This guy is really surprising me. So he is a mommy’s boy.” The photo she saw was a photo of him hugging an old woman which looked like his mother.
Later, the sleepiness finally found her. She yawned and stretched her arms. She went back to the living room and slept at the sofa without even bothering to use a pillow and a cover.

In the morning, Suzy woke up without even noticing that it was already 9:00 in the morning which means she was late for school. She sat up on the couch and checked the clocked hung on the wall and shouted, “DAMN! I’M LATE!”
But wait… “This is not my house. Ugh. I forgot.” She face-palmed and shook her head. opened when she noticed that a blanket was covering her body and a pillow was on top of her head. She was very sure that she didn't use anything.
She smiled a little. "How thoughtful."
Then she stood up from the couch and checked Mark’s room. He wasn’t there so she checked the dining room and just saw a plate with a meal covered with another plate. And on top of the plate was a note, saying, I did not bother to wake you up because it seemed like you still need to sleep more. Btw, kindly wipe your drools. It’s kinda disgusting. After you finish eating your meal, kindly lock the door before leaving. I already got the keys.. Thanks.
“Oh my gosh! Did he just say droll? Ugh. It's embarassing! But...did he really prepare a meal for me? How nice of him,” she said to herself and started eating breakfast as fast as she could.
After how many minutes, Suzy finally went back to her apartment and decided to find another safe place to stay. She packed her things up and temporarily moved t
