All Chapters of Let Me In: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Now that I'm back in the city, I realize that I should have got her name.  Oh well, she is just a number in the scheme of things and I probably will never see her again anyways.  There is just one thing bothering me about that woman.  When we touched, I felt electricity course through my veins.  Honestly, that is something I have never felt before with anyone. Matter of fact, I need to get her out of my system and one of the secretaries downstairs wants to meet me for a drink tonight.  I intend to make her bow down to me and pray.  After I get done with her, she won't remember ever being with another man.  Who knows, maybe she will worship me.  I let out a hearty laugh at that thought.   The tow truck driver lets me off at the door and I give him a smile, "Hey, thanks man.  Hope you have a good rest of your day."  I turn around and I'm met by Celeste, who seems to be in a not so good mood.  

I wake up and realize that I didn't hear the alarm go off.  "Fuck!"  It's 7:15 and I have to be to work in 45 minutes.  Usually I wake up at 6 and go to the gym first, take a shower and eat breakfast before going in.  This morning though will screw up everything.  No gym and no breakfast.  Not having a choice, I have to skip the gym.  Taking a shower is the number one priority, considering I smell like sex after last night.  I guess I didn't realize just how tired I was.  That is a mistake I can't afford this morning.  My meeting with the owner is of the utmost importance.  He is trying to decide if we downsize or expand the company.  Depending on the numbers in my report, it could mean a big payout for me.  Hoping that he decides on expansion, I prepare for the day with a shower and a donut from last night.  When I grab the donut out of the brown paper bag, I notice the note discarded on

Hearing a siren from down at the street level, I wake up and get dressed.  Looking out the bedroom window, I notice an accident just outside of my apartment building.  It looks like a taxi hit a pedestrian.  "Oh well, I guess they will look where they are going next time." After slipping on my gym shoes, I go down stairs to workout.  Usually there are quite a few people here, but this morning no one is around.  I work out in the eerie quiet and remember how busy it usually is.  Matter of fact, at one point in time I had thought about getting a home gym put in my penthouse, but I don't like the clutter.   When I'm done with my workout, I come back upstairs to take a shower and after I get dressed I find a yogurt in the fridge for breakfast.  That reminds me, I need to get some groceries today.  On that, I remember my mental note from yesterday about running by GNC and picking up some protein powder.  

I yawn and stretch as I get off the couch and go to the fridge for something to make for dinner.  That was a good movie, but I'm usually more of a horror type of guy.  I love my slasher films, especially the older 80's ones.  They just don't make movies like that anymore. Picking out all the stuff I need to make lasagna, I whip it all together and stick it in the oven.  After setting the temperature, I take note of the time and remind myself that in an hour I have to take it out to cool.  My stomach starts growling, so I take a bag of baked chips out of the pantry and a cup of coffee over to the couch.   Turning on the news, I watch as the reporter talks about a shooting in China Town.  The weather comes on next and I turn it off after finding out the weather for Sunday.  I look at the time and realize that the lasagna should be about done.  Getting up, I go to the kitchen and the aroma instantly hits me. Yep,

I spend the rest of the weekend preparing for work and contacting several associates regarding the impending expansion.  Before relaxing and taking a load off for a few minutes, I thank Ms. DiAngelo for cleaning up my mess from the weekend and I give her monday off.  She thanks me in return graciously and then leaves me to my own devices.Searching on the laptop for information regarding work, I happen to see an article about the night life of the city.  Clicking on it, I zoom in."It can't be."  I scratch my head and zoom in further to see the face. I let out a sigh, "Holy shit, it is." With closer inspection, I almost fall out of my chair.  Next to the woman that lent me her phone is the little Asian thing I played with last night.  In the photo adjacent to it, it's obvious that they are together.  How did I miss her?  I know damn well that she wasn't anywhere near her.  I would have noticed or ra
