I hate this new feeling. I have just gotten back from the police station. I had given them my report and a copy from the text message. They've promised to get back to me as soon as the investigator lay some reports.
I'm not fully relieved. Truthfully, I'm scared. This said girl might be after my life. It sends chill through my body.

Even though I was mad at him last night, I can't wait to jump into his awaiting arms that I've been longing to touch me at every inch of my body. I crave his touches, his kisses, his sex. I crave everything about him. Truthfully, I hated how things turned out last night. I felt I overreacted, but I deserved a warm welcoming from my boyfriend.I push last night's thought out of my head and make my way to the bathroom. I wash my hair with warm water and shampoo. I wash my body, making sure to scrub away the smell of coffee that still lingered on my bare skin. I wrap myself up in a towel and walk out of the bathroom. After applying lotion to my skin, I pull into a pink cropped hoodie and a denim trouser. I wear air Jordans to match with my outfit. Damn, I look good.
