We arrived at our house, an hour after that incident.
There it Is - the house standing in it's glory. But I never imagined it to be this creepy, and quiet, except the chirping crickets.
The only thing I could make out from the headlights is the dense fog that seems to get heavy by the second. Every other thing, engulfed in the darkness.
I stepped out of the car, slammed the door and turn over to xanvier who was already unpacking.
"Where in God's name are we?"
"Home". Was all I got from him, as he carried the heavy bag out of the booth.
"Xanvier, this is the middle of nowhere!". I screamed.
"Calm down, babe. This is perfect for our jobs". He said, dragging my ecolag on the gravel-filled road.
"You said you needed something new, right? Well, this is it".
I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic with me or not. It's difficult to read him
"Be careful with the bag, please". I blurted when I saw him carry it like he has a problem with it.
"Can you be kind enough to help me out, I am trying here!". He fired back at me.
I rolled my eyes and hesitated for a while before dragging myself to get the rest of our stuff.
I am a 23 years old woman but I still act like a teenager, sometimes; overly dramatic especially when things don't go my way.
Xanvier, on the other hand is 24. A top-notch interior designer with many awards.
Like me, he can be dramatic but in a cute boyish manner.
XANVIER POV.
I switched on my flashlight as soon as I step into the house to avoid tripping in the dark. I dropped the trolley and carefully scan the empty room that will serve as the living room.
This is my dream house - Big, enough rooms for my future family and in the middle of nowhere, away from the hassles from people. Though it looks haunted, Sandra and I will get used to it.
I went out to drag the rest of the property inside, and met Sandra struggling with two not- so- heavy- looking bags. I chuckled at how she walks like a limping chicken.
She was about to topple over the bags, but I was fast enough to catch her.
I gently stroke her nose as I took away her load.
"You are crazy, you know." I watched her scrowl her face like a cute baby from corner of my eye.
I chuckled as she walks pass me and I dutifully follow.
Suddenly, she stops moving, just before entering the house.
I stopped too, wondering whether she's mad at me for calling her 'Crazy' or scared of how dark the room is.
"Are you okay, Sandra?". I asked, a little worried.
But I was so tired to entertain more drama.
I switched my torch and saw her shivering and sobbing. Guilt washing over me.
"There's some - thing on my - my leg'. She stuttered. I flash the light on her legs and notice a tiny green snake wrapping itself around her leg. I quickly pick up a stick and fling it away.
I pulled her in for a hug. Inhaling her sweet rosy scent that somehow, made me relaxed too.
She intertwined our arms together as we enter the house and freshen up. We deserve to rest!

"Heard you are the champ from the sister company". One of them asked. "I am". "Welcome, man". He gave me a rib breaking hug as though I was someone he missed so much. I was so grateful when a lady told me that the boss wants to see me. A perfect timing. "Welcome, Mr xanvier". His baritone voice sound better than it was over the phone. "Please,sit down". He continued with his strong Italian accent as he pointed to the empty office chair in front of him "I am so glad to have you here. We have heard so much about you, and we hope you can put in more efforts here." He concluded with a smile on his face. He looks perfect with a chiseled jaw and a full lips.

Ever since I came here, it's been one horrifying incident to another. Bang!!!! My body resonated with the sound as I feel another bolt of adrenaline shooting through me. Somehow, I manage to take long strides to the kitchen and pick up a knife as defence. I heard footsteps and hide by the kitchen wall, ready to attack my assailant "Jesus Christ!". Petrified Xanvier screamed as I almost stab him. I dropped the knife and hold him tightly, sobing in his shoulders. "Shh! It's okay, baby". He said, patting my head. I stayed like that for a while gathering myself together. "What was that loud sound?". I asked, sniffing and wiping my nostrils as I rais

MY LAST VALENTINE Love bloom!
Xanvier's pov I watched her as she sleeps gently, wrapping herself like a baby. She looks peaceful. I thought back at the incident that occured earlier and wondered what made her feel like that. I began to think we made a mistake on coming here for something new - Sandra is changing. I drew in a heavy breathe as I dragged myself out of the bed, gently so as not to wake her. Part of my treat last night was to make breakfast in bed for her, and what she went through is enough boost for my lazy self. I strode to the living room with nothing but my tight pants. Memories of our little adventure flooded my mind as I walked down the stairs. Happily. My phone buzzed halfway into my cooking and when I picked it up it was my boss. I was excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because it's been a while I heard his voice, even though we talked yesterday. Nervous because it's a work free day. A Saturday. "Hello! Sir". I greeted with a strong bass.
MY LAST VALENTINE Lud! Dud!
Xanvier's pov I was met with emptiness when I tried to cuddle Sandra. I forced my eyes open as I turned back to see just her pillow. I sat up and saw her silhouette before tracing it to the window. There she stood, her petite frame trembling under the moon rays. "Why is she standing like that?" I wondered. Her eyes glued to the curtains as her grip threatens to rip it apart. "Sandra", I called but no reply. "Sandra". I called again, this time a little louder. She didn't move, not even a blink. I panicked. I stood up and strolled towards her. Naked. I called her again before I tapped her. "Please don't kill me". She shouted as she jerked. "Huh? ". That was the only word my mind could processs when she collapsed into me .Her heavy breath was intensed at that moment that the motherly instinct in me came alive - I embraced her. Sandra's PO
