You’re currently lying in bed, waiting for your boyfriend, Justin, to come nyumbani when wewe suddenly hear a sound come from downstairs. Thinking nothing of it, wewe bury your head into the book again - figuratively speaking, of course. It was a book Justin had gotten wewe for your birthday and when wewe finally got to kusoma it - wewe just couldn’t stop. Your body tenses when another sound is heard. Normally, you’d blame it on the puppy wewe and Justin had bought about six months zamani but since he was ‘visiting’ Pattie, wewe couldn’t. Marking the page wewe had been reading, wewe place the book on the bedside meza, jedwali and actually focus on listening now.
wewe yelp quietly when there’s yet another sound and this time it wasn’t the old house and wewe knew that wewe had turned the TV off. This time, it wewe are almost absolutely positive that it was a sound of a vase falling to the floor. Realizing this, wewe begin to chew on your bottom lip. There is someone in the house. And you’re nyumbani alone. Suddenly feeling very vulnerable, wewe ponder about being quiet au actually confronting the intruders. They probably thought that there was nobody nyumbani considering wewe had turned off most of the lights before going to kitanda - like Justin had told wewe to do before he left for work. When he kissed wewe goodbye, he had whispered; “Turn off the lights before wewe go to bed. I’ll be right up with wewe anyway and we can make sweet upendo together. How does that sound, huh?” He had teased, with a cheeky grin plastered on his face.
Hearing a door downstairs slam, wewe squeal - startled - and instinctively grab for your phone. wewe turn of the kusoma light when wewe remember that the door is open and if the intruders decide to come upstairs to take a look, they would obviously see the light shining through. Using your phone as a flashlight, wewe slowly unwrap the covers from your body. wewe walk toward the door, as lightly as wewe can, and sneak a peek downstairs. Your breath catches in your throat when wewe clearly see two shadows moving around.
Swallowing back a sob, wewe clutch your phone and practically crawl away from the door. wewe make your way to Justin’s side of the bed, the one furthest away from the door, and curl up on the floor - hopefully out of sight. With trembling fingers, wewe ngumi, punch in the number and bring it up to your ear. It rings and rings and wewe silently pray that he picks up. Pick up, pick up, pick up! Please, pick up?
“Hello?” His voice crackles through the phone and wewe catch yourself from letting out a sigh of relief. “Babe, wewe there?”
“J-Justin?” It comes out as a swali as wewe break down. Sob after sob escapes your mouth and wewe try your best to bite them back. wewe couldn’t afford to let the intruders hear you. “Babe? Babe, what’s wrong?” Justin asks concerned. Hearing wewe break down like that is hard for him, especially when he isn’t there.
“I-I think there’s someone in the house…” wewe sob, your voice trembling. wewe hear Justin’s sharp intake of breath and wewe imagine him running a hand over his mouth. “Baby… I need wewe to hide for me, okay? Go somewhere safe.” wewe nod to yourself, before letting him know that you’re already out of sight. wewe feel your breath quicken when there is another bang heard downstairs. “Stay there. Don’t make a sound. I promise, I’ll be nyumbani as soon as I can, okay? I’ll come home, baby. Everything’s gonna be alright. I won’t let anyone hurt you. You’re gonna be okay, [Y/N]. wewe hear me?” When wewe don’t answer, he pressures wewe until wewe do. “Do wewe hear me, [Y/N]? You’re gonna be okay.” “I-I’m scared, Justin…” wewe whimper out and wewe hear Justin sigh deeply.
“I know, baby, I know. Alfredo is calling the police now. I’m on my way, okay? I’ll be there soon, I promise. wewe just have to be quiet and don’t move. Sit where wewe are. I’ll come nyumbani to you, babe.”
And he did. Not even fifteen dakika after hanging up with you, there was a big slam downstairs and lots of shouting. wewe sit tight on the floor - just like Justin told you, hands around your knees as wewe sway back and forth. wewe use this as a technique to calm down but it isn’t working too well because wewe have no idea what is going on downstairs. Suddenly, a pair of arms snakes around wewe and Justin hugs wewe tight to his chest. Stroking your hair, he soothes wewe with a gentle voice.
“It’s okay, baby. I’m here. You’re okay. You’re safe. We’re okay.”
