Finally

Finally, Louise could book her get away break, she had been waiting for this, she'd had a rough few months. She been receiving weird ominous phone calls, whoever it is, they never spoke, Louise didn't hear any heavy breathing? nothing!?! which would've been a bit more easier to digest, but not making light of it, at least she would know it was some poor sod with a fetish of some sort! the only sound was that of a clock, TICK TOCK TICK TOCKING away in the back ground. A few months ago at work she had started receiving the calls, at first she didn't really take it too seriously, just a wrong number or prank call or some disgruntled ex customer, all the same, it put Louise on edge little bit freaked out, "I mean who does that" every customer that came in the building Louise and her work colleagues would eye everyone up with a good dose of suspicion. When she was around other people it didn't bother her so much, it was when she was all alone in her flat looking at the windows for any sudden movement, like some mechanical owl turning her head from left to right, right to left, no twit twooing? though, checking the locks on the doors every 5 minutes, she spoke with her manager, told her about the prank calls? it only happened when Louise was on the front desk, her Manager suggested Louise take her annual leave early and get away, Recharge her battery's!!! soak up the sun! sea! sangria!! and throw whoever it was off the Louise scent, as she would be away in another country, so she did! She booked 2 weeks on a remote island with lots of security! in the Maldives, it was a bargain offer, Louise couldn't refuse. Louise was excited about life again!! checking her list of everything she needed for her holiday, SUNCREAM, CHECK! BOOK, to read CHECK! She had bought herself a wide rimmed straw sun hat and some "Ray ban Jackie OHH sunglasses" she packed her least expensive perfume, she wasn't planning on wooing anyone with any alluring scents, so she left the expensive ones at home. Louise couldn't wait, the more she thought about her holiday the more excited she became,( going on holiday all by her self like a big girl) It was 6pm, she had agreed to meet Sophia, her work mate, for an hours workout at the office gym, to get that beach bod! Sophia wasn't going on holiday, she was saving all her annual leave for the end of the year to go on a skiing trip of a life time! with her French boyfriend Gabriel, "who loves garlic" with everything! The two friends met up and giggled about Louise finding a holiday romance, Louise brushed it off, "No! not me, this is a holiday for me, myself and I, wagging her index finger, with a quick snap of the fingers, they fell about laughing. They both decided to go for a quick cocktail or five, before heading home totally ruining all the hard work they just did! They both ordered "sex on the beach" cocktails, EXTRA VODDY!! they both shouted as they ordered laughing, "who needs beach bods" laughed Sophia, holding her glass up in the air, "lets toast to that" said Louise, "WHO NEEDS A BEACH BOD" toasted the two friends, just then Louise looked across the bustling vibrant cocktail bar, her eyes met his, she blinked and he was gone, was she imaging it? maybe too much "voddy in the body" she thought. They didn't leave the cocktail bar until almost 11pm, nearly four hours of drinking and the two friends ordered cabs and went their separate ways, " safe flight there and back" Sophia was trying to say, after her cocktails it came out something like "safe, (wagging index finger again), airo.. plane, love you babes...holiday...get back ......, with her eyes rolling to the back of her head, both woman drunkly sloppy kissed each other on the cheek, "love you babes". It was Saturday morning, Louise had a hangover from the pits of hell! her flight was at 7:15am Sunday morning, 24 hours to sober up! Louise was just going to finish packing her suitcase when her home phone rang, RINGGGGG, RINGGGG, Louise picked up the phone "hello" she said, no answer, "hello" again, no answer, but as she listened carefully there was a strange kind of gushing wind noise in the back ground with the tick tocking clock. She put the receiver down and rolled her eyes, (go away whoever you are!!! roll on Sunday. Louise lay in bed that night, daydreaming of herself on the beach relaxing to the sounds of nature at its best, with her book beside her, with the look of total bliss on her face, her thoughts drifted off, with the strange phone calls and the eerie feeling it gave, but Louise couldn't for the life of her think who could it be? Why? Why me? Louise just put it down to mistaken identity. Louise woke up bright and early Sunday morning, had a shower and put on her favorite jeans belly top and flipflops, her buzzer rang, it was her taxi " taxis here luv" (right ole cockney accent) came the voice on the other end of the intercom. " Coming out now" said Louise. The flight was relaxing, Louise slept most of the flight, she felt refreshed as exited the plane and headed to her prebooked awaiting taxi to take her to her hotel. Louise stepped out of the taxi and breathed in the sea air and the gorgeous aromas of prawns being cooked in coconut sauce, the smell of the palm tress, everything looked so bright and cheery, considering it was raining like mad back in the UK. The hotel bus boy took Louise's suitcase from her and placed it on a trolley, a lady came from behind the front desk and called Louise over to explain she would have to share the room with a complete stranger, her room was doubled book and every other hotel in the vicinity was fully booked and no flights out until the following week, Louise was horrified! sharing a room with a stranger!! danger!!Louise asked if the stranger had already checked in, the lady said he was in the bar, turned and pointed to the guy sitting at the bar, Louise didn't know who she was more upset with, the hotel or the gorgeous guy at the bar? she needed a drink and quick, she told the buss boy to leave her suitcase by the front desk and stormed over to the bar ordered her self a drink,(extra voddy) just then the lady from the front desk walked over and told Louise she had a call, that came through the front desk, Louise was puzzled, and thought " well I'm sharing a room with a complete stranger what else could possibly happen( the possibilities are endless) "hello this is Louise, who is this? all she could hear was the tick tocking of the clock. Louise made her excuses as the front desk lady was standing there. Louise hung up walked over to the bar sat down next to the gorgeous hunk, then she looked down at his wrist and saw a huge watch face, looked very expensive, and all she could hear was the TICK TOCK TICK TOCK.
