Who Are You?!

It’s been a while since I jumped back into the dating world since John died. John was my former husband who was murderd unexpectedly while I was away at vacation . It was very tragic all I remember was coming back home to puddles of blood untill I seen his lifeless body laying on the living room floor. The most odd thing was that there was never no indication of a forced entry or someone ever breaking in , they also never found the person who murderd John. As years went by I finally allowed myself to be open about dating again and hoping to find happiness once again . I went on a few blind dates set up by family and friends I joined a couple of dating apps as well . We’ll none of those were very successful for me i found no likeing or connection to anyone I had met . So I decided to take a step back for now and if I was meant to be happy again it would eventually fall in my path .

I typically worked from home so my days were pretty much the same as far as a routine. I would first wake up brush my teeth , wash my face and make my bed . Then I would make myself some cold brew and watch some TV shows untill my shift started . I hardly went out either and if I needed groceries I’d usually order them to be delivered . Today is one of those days that I had some groceries delivered because I had planned a nice steak dinner for me myself and I. As I was working I hear my doorbell ring , usually my delivery people know to just left them at the door and I would get them once they leave but today was different . I paused what I was doing and went downstairs to open the door because this was the third time my doorbell had rang. I was thinking to myself this person is definitely not getting a tip today. As I open the door to scold the delivery worker I saw him turn around and look at me. My jaw just dropped …. He was this handsome man with beautiful hazel eyes , lucious lips and had an amazing smile that can have you mesmerized . He then went on to say “I’m sorry to bother ma’am but I wasn’t sure if you were home or not , just didn’t want your grocery’s being stolen “ . I went blank and was dumb founded for about 10 secs not knowing what to say and he just stands there with a smile . I then proceeded to say thank you so much for caring but I usually just have my delivery drivers leave them on the door step. He then apologized and said he needed to get to his next delivery . But before I can get all the groceries in and close the door I heard “wait a minute “ . I froze and wondered what can it be now , he then proceed to ask respectfully if I was married or had a bf and if not could he take me out . I then still shocked procced to say i was previously married but widowed and currently not seeing anyone as of now but would love to go out sometime . He then said “oh yeah that’s right “! And I just stare at him and think that was odd to say how do you know I was a widow and was this a coincidence? I briefly just brushed it off and procced to exchange numbers, then went to resume working.

About a hour and a half later I received a text saying “Hey this is Adam from earlier, whens a good time to talk”? I was thinking wow this was pretty fast and let him know I can talk now. He called and we talked for what felt like all night he was so interesting and was very knowledgeable on a lot of things . We set a date to see each other the very next day. We met up to have some drinks at a local Italian restaurant, we continued to amuse each other and talk our ears off . We were having such a good time we didn’t notice it was closing time for the restraunt. Although I had a great time on our date I was sad it ended so soon . He ended up driving me home and walking me to my door and landing a kiss on my cheek . Of course I blushed and hugged goodnight. While knowing I had an amazing night I started to get ready to go to bed . I jumped in the shower put a face mask on and snuggled myself in my blankets to watch some crime shows . While watching the show I heard a noise coming from outside my house I quickly froze because although I have a love for scary tv shows and scary movies I am such a scary cat. I quickly pause my show and am silent to see if I hear the sound again , and there it is it sounds as if my screen door is closing and opening due to the wind. But I could of swore I locked it me not being very sure goes to securely lock it , and look around the house to see if anything seems off but everything seems in place so I head back upstairs to bed . I wake up the next day to 10 messages from Adam . They stated how much fun he had , that he had to see me ASAP, and that he had a question to ask me . While I thought it was a bit much I agreed to meet him later that day for dinner , he said it was a suprise and that I am going to love it . He picks me up later that night around 6:00 PM, and he looked completely handsome he had a suit on I could smell his cologne from a far and I was just under what felt like a spell of admiration . We got to the restaurant and it was amazing and so beautiful. We were finally seated and I finally asked what he had to ask me he looked so nervous and by the time I could take a sip of my wine a group of people surrounds us. I completely unexpecting this am a little confused . All of a sudden I hear music and he stands up reaches in his pocket and gets on one knee. I scream out “ What the hell are you doing “? He then looks at me shocked and so does everyone else , he then procceds to say I’m the love of his life and that he asked if I could marry him . I started laughing thinking ok abviously I’m being pranked bring out the camera crew. Everyone including Adam stared at me angrily and confused . I also looking back at them angrily and confused not knowing what the hell is going on . I stand up and excuse myself , then here comes adam running after me . I ask what we’re you thinking i berly went on one date with you and you want to marry me . He then said he new I was his soulmate from the very day he delivered my groceries . At this point I am very uncomfortable and just want to go home I kindly ask him to please take me home. He puts up a fight but then agrees . As he drops he me off he says sorry about tonight I’m just a very passionate person . I nervously laugh it off and say our good byes. I get home and I run the bath and replay back what just happened because it seemed so unrealistic to me. I hear a swift knock on my window I pause with fear and stay quite then another knock and then another each one aggressive . I peek out to see who it is and it’s Adam…… I scream out what the hell are you doing adam you need to leave . Please leave or I will call the cops . Adam just stares at me and has a evil smirk he somehow figured a way to break my window and forcefully enter my home . I fell back on the floor once he did that and I look around for a weapon or something to protect myself from this psycho . He walks up to me , meets me at eye level and says “ don’t you remember me baby “? I look at him horrified and say remember what ! Who are you ? He says hmmm I guess you don’t remember me . How was your trip you had 4 years ago. I try to think what happened 4 years ago and where I went . It was the trip that I went on that resulted on me coming back home to a dead husband . I asked him how do you even know that ? And repeated “Who are you”? He has this evil look and is just starting at me he then says Veronica come out please . I look around thinking who’s coming and if something is going to happen to me , he says again Veronica please come out my dear . All I could remember is a rush in my body and falling to the floor . The next morning I wake up in bed looking around scared . My window was not broken I had my PJ’s on and the news was playing . I sit there and think was that all a dream .
