Stuck in you

Eric was in a good mood and left for the porridge shop. On his arrival, he was happy to see that only a few people were gathered there. He didn't have to stand in long queues to get what he wanted. With a big smile, he requested for two boxes, one for him and another for Rachel.

As soon as he stepped outside, the morning sun began to shine on his face.

It was indeed a beautiful sight! It had been a while since Eric had seen such a breath taking view. Plunging into his pocket, he took out his cell phone. He managed to click a dozen shots of the view.

After going through them, he selected the best one and posted it on his social media account. "Long time no see, the rising sun!" he captioned with some satisfaction. He trotted about in a lifted spirited. At the moment, his happiness was so strong, that nothing could disturb his mood.

Humming a song, Eric strolled towards Rachel's community. When he entered, he noticed a strange car downstairs in the garage.

When he reached the second floor, he couldn't open the door of Rachel's house. Beginning to panic, he started to rummage through his pockets. He desperately searched for the keys but to no avail. All he could find was his wallet and cell phone. Eric patted his thigh remorsefully. He had left the keys at home.

Eric couldn't open the door so he decided to ring her.

In the bedroom, the curtain was closed tightly and the sunlight couldn't penetrate in at all. The big and soft bed made Rachel sleep soundly. Her phone rang and vibrated beside the bed. However, she was in deep slumber and didn't hear the ring.

Her face was glued to the soft pillow. She was tired and her breathing was somewhat heavy. It was obvious that her condition did not improve very much or else she would not have been sleeping at the moment.

The phone kept buzzing for quite a long time, but there was no answer.

Eric tried again after the short break. The phone continued to buzz again, but there was no one to pick it up. The host was in deep sleep.

Hearing the ring, Jack picked up the phone, and spotted Eric's name. Knowing Rachel wasn't in a condition to talk, he switched it off and left the room.

A sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached now..."

Eric was dumbfounded! 'What is wrong?

Is it possible that she woke up and went to work?'

He couldn't help but mull over this question. Now that he gave it a serious thought, he realized it was indeed possible.

According to Rachel's character, anything was possible!

When Eric was about to withdraw his hand from the doorbell, the door swung open. A man appeared in front of him.

He was a tall man and had a bathrobe wrapped around his waist. His slightly wet black hair remained stuck to his forehead. He stood at the door and flashed an elegant smile.

Eric froze as if he had been struck by lightning. When he saw the man's domineering eyes, he slowly turned around.
