Bye, My Irresistible Love

Richard‘s POV 

I had been following Susan these past few days. She stayed home all day every day and only went out for grocery shopping. So far, I had gotten nothing useful. 

Feeling a bit defeated and useless, I reported to Charles. 

Charles ordered, “Find a way to sneak into Susan‘s house tonight and look for more clues.” 

“Yes, sir.” 

I decided to get someone to help, so I called Janet. “Janet, I need your help with something. I‘ll pick you up at ten o‘clock tonight.” 

“What‘s up?” 

“We‘ll do something big tonight.” 

“All right then. I‘ll see you tonight.” 

After hanging up with Janet, I went home to get some rest so that I would be fully charged for tonight‘s mission. At ten o‘clock, I arrived at Janet‘s doorstep. She was waiting for me at the door. Her long black hair was tied up into a ponytail. She was dressed in simple clothes and a pair of black boots. She was looking around vigilantly with her beautiful eyes. Seeing my car, she walked toward me.

When I got off the car, she asked me, “Are we going to raid somebody‘s tomb again tonight?” 

“No. We‘re going to break into Susan‘s house. I promise you will be safe,” I replied and patted her gently on the shoulder.

“Okay. I‘m good as long as you don‘t take me to a cemetery,” she chuckled and heaved a sigh of relief. She looked like she had just taken a shower. I could smell the fragrance of her body lotion, and it turned me on a little bit. I wrapped my arm around her waist and leaned in to give her a kiss. 

After kissing for a few minutes, I let go. Janet was blushing. She pushed me away playfully and got in the car. I jumped in the driver‘s seat and gunned the engine. While I drove, Janet looked out the passenger side window. I gave her a peck on the cheek while she wasn‘t looking. She smelled so good, it was driving me insane.

“Focus on driving, please.” 

“Yes, ma‘am.” I refocused on the road while taking Janet‘s hand in mine.

Suddenly, all the annoyance and disappointment of the past few days vanished into thin air. Half an hour later, we arrived near Susan‘s house. Using some high–powered binoculars, I observed what was going on in her home. Susan was alone in the living room. “Do you see her? What‘s she doing?” Janet asked. 

“Yes. She‘s in the living room. Let‘s wait until she falls asleep. Then we‘ll break in,” I replied and put down the binoculars.
