<< WASHINGTON D.C ~ SIERRA’S APARTMENT >>
The ringing of the bed side alarm woke a sleeping Sierra.
“Oh no! Am late” Sierra wail and got off the bed to take a shower and get dressed.
It’s going to be her fourth day working at Unity Hospital, a well known hospital in Washington.
Just like her, a lot of people wish to work there and she had been lucky to be among the ten nurse hired recently but with the look of things now, she might end up getting there late.
Dress in her nursing outfit, she pick up her bag and ran out of the apartment she share with Sunny. They had both been friends in nursing school and they still are out of school.
Sierra notice that the next door apartment was being renovated. Is someone finally moving in?
Sierra made it to the bus station on time and took a seat beside the window.
The drive was going smooth until they got into the main road which had a heavy traffic.
Sierra open the window to let the air in when she notice a sports car and it was a man whose gaze was fixed on her.
Sierra smiled at him out of courtesy and look away but she felt his gaze still on hers and when she looked at him again, he was indeed starring at her.
This time Sierra found herself starring back at him. With his black silky hair, his deep blue eyes and handsome face, she couldn’t deny that he’s attractive but something about him feels familiar.
They silently stared at each other until the bus drove out of view, somehow Sierra could still feel his gaze trailing after the bus…did he fall for her or something? Sierra thought as work and Bobby came back to her.
Bobby who is her boyfriend, a boyfriend she loves so much. They been dating ever since her college days and she’s has no eyes for no one else.
She got to work a little late and was admonish by the head nurse. She was heading to her desk when some nurses ran past her.
“What’s going on?” Sierra ask a nurse she manage to waylay.
“Luther Maxwell is here”
“You mean the owner of this hospital?” Sierra ask, she has only heard of him but she’s never seen him.
“Yes. He rarely comes to the hospital and when he does, we all gather to drink in his loveliness” she said to Sierra before running off.
Tempted to see the great Luther Maxwell, Sierra joined the nurses by the entrance just as a familiar sport car arrive.
Sierra watch as the guy from earlier got out of the car, she watch him talking to some doctors while her mind kept screaming ‘he’s Luther Maxwell ‘
“Don’t look him in the eye” someone said beside her.
“Why?” A confuse Sierra ask, starring at the older nurse beside her.
“He’s a psycho. A crazy man”
“But he doesn’t seem that way” Sierra said, starring at the back view of Luther Maxwell.
“That’s what you think but that man is mentally unstable, he’s crazy and a psycho” the lady said, instilling fear in her.
“An..and…W..what happen to those who have look him in the eye?” Sierra found herself asking.
“They become his target, his greatest obsession and no one, not even that person will be able to get rid of him” the older nurse.
Sierra was just taking in what she said when two male nurse from the psychiatric ward took hold of the older nurse.
“What are you doing?” Sierra ask.
“She’s a patient who’s trying to escape, a crazy one” one of the male nurse replied.
“Let go of me! Am not crazy! Am not crazy! Remember what I told you, he’s the real psycho, stay away from him” the lady said as she was dragged off by the male nurse.
This scene got everyone looking at them including Luther Maxwell whose gaze was back on her once again.
Sierra quickly left the scene, heading to her desk to focus on more important things but the things the crazy lady told her kept bothering her.
During her lunch break, Sierra went to the rooftop to relieve the stress of the day as she have been doing for the past three days.
She got there expecting to see her cup of coffee waiting for her but there nothing.
For the past three days, a cup of coffee have always been waiting for her in the rooftop, she knew it was hers because it always have her name on the coffee cup.
She had no idea who always put the coffee there for her but she’s always grateful to whoever it is since the coffee makes her feel refreshed.
“Seems like my coffee saviour is too busy to bring it today, I’d better get it myself” she said aloud, turning to see Luther Maxwell there and in his hand was a cup of coffee.
“Sorry am late. There was a heavy queue” he said, his blue eyes wandering all over her.
Never would she have imagine that her coffee saviour is Luther Maxwell.
“Drink while it’s still hot” He said taking hold of her hand but she pulled away, spilling the coffee.
“Am…sorry” Sierra apologise.
“It’s okay. It must be a shock to know that have been the one bringing you coffee for the past three days” he said.
Sierra was about asking him why when she remember the things said to her by the crazy lady.
*They become his target, his greatest obsession*
“Have I shock you into silence?” He asked, standing very close to her.
“No…I…er…I need to head back to work, sir” she said, rushing off to the elevator.
She press her floor button while hoping the door will slid shut before he appear but he made it into the lift before it could close.
Sierra stood at a side while feeling nervous cause she knew he was standing behind her, watching her like always.
She was quietly waiting for the lift to get to her floor when she suddenly felt him behind her.
She turn to see him standing close, starring down at at her.
“I need to press a floor” he said, touching the sixth floor button which reside the psychiatry ward.
Is he really crazy? She thought, swallowing hard as he still stood behind her, not making an attempt to move away.
Suddenly, she felt him smelling her hair and then, he said.
“Still smells the same”
She turn wanting to ask him what he meant by that statement when the lift the door slid open.
She decided to leave, deciding then and there to never be in the same place with Luther Maxwell and unknown to her, he stood outside the elevator watching her limp off.
Hours later, Sierra stood in the rest room groaning in pain due to the blister at the back of her leg.
Due to her rush this morning, she had taken Sunny spare sneakers and her feet is more larger than Sunny.
She hadn’t feel the pain earlier since her mind was preoccupied with Luther Maxwell.
She will just have to wear it till the day end…she thought and went back to her desk.
“You got a parcel” Her colleague told her and Sierra went to the box on her desk to open it.
There was a brand new sneakers in it and it was her size.
Sierra smiled thinking the gift to be from Bobby but when she called him, he made it clear that he didn’t send her a thing.
She then assume it to be from Sunny. She must have help her get a new one when she figured that she mistakenly took her own.
Working nightshift, Sunny must be sleeping at home and not wanting to bother her, she decided to ask her about it when she gets home.
After spending some few hours more at work, it was finally time for her to leave.
Sierra walk out of the hospital that evening, feeling tired than ever.
She was stretching when she saw Luther Maxwell approaching her, there was no where she could run to, so she stood, watching him get to where she stood.
“It fits right?” He asked starring at her brand new sneaker.
She didn’t get to give a reply because, he got down on one knee to help her the lace of the sneaker.
“Did you buy this for me?” Sierra ask the moment he stood up.
“I did” he replied.
“Its going to be hard taking the bus, let me give you a lift home” He added.
“No! You don’t have to” she said quickly.
“But I…”
“I can take a taxi. You really don’t have to take me home, sir” she said,walking pass him in a rush.
What the hell did she get herself into… Sierra thought as she hail a taxi.
Sierra was walking down the street that led to her home when she notice a car following from behind.
Though the headlight blinded her a little, she was still able to see the driver and it’s none other than Luther Maxwell.
Did he stalk her all the way from the hospital?
Sierra fasten her pace, trying to get home quickly and he kept on following her.
Even when she took the stairs that led to her own apartment, he got out of the car, coming after her.
Shakily, she slid her key into the lock and got into her apartment, breathing heavily.
Her head reliving the things the crazy lady said to her.
*They become his target, his greatest obsession*
Sunny wasn’t home, she must have left for the hospital early since she’s working the night shift.
Sierra had just put down her bag when she heard a knock on her door.
Fear grip her and she waited patiently, hoping whoever is at the door will leave but they kept knocking.
“What are you scared of? It might just be the landlord” Sierra said to herself and went to the door to open it.
There was no sign of the landlord except for Luther Maxwell who had a container full of sweets with him.
“You!” She said, her heart pounding fast.
“I bought you this, it’s your favourite” he said.
“How do you it’s my favourite?” Sierra ask.
“Well I…er…”
“You what? First it’s coffee, then the sneakers and now, sweets! Haven’t you done enough for a day!” She yell at him.
Not because she’s angry but because she’s afraid.
“Am not really doing much and this sweet is to commemorate myself for moving into the apartment next to you” he said.
“You what?”
“Am the new tenant who move into the apartment next to you, in short, am your new neighbour” he break it down for her.
