Chapter Twelve

Stella.
Stella couldn't apprehend what was happening?, was it an imagination?, was she hallucinating?, All these never happened to her before she had no idea what was going on?. She took out the things she brought and arranged it in the refrigerator, She set the food on the dining, The dining room was directly next to the kitchen, a small center table with three chairs, the table and chairs had the same color "brown." She took a sit and ate her Chinese food, the food tasted amazing, Stella moaned when she took the first bite, after she was done she kept the dirty dishes in the sink. She stood in front of a window that was in the kitchen when she looked up she met a blue eye, Josephine was standing by the balcony of her own house, Stella smiled and waved at Josephine, Josephine waved back.
Stella still stood by the window, She couldn't take her mind off what happened earlier today?, She decided to check up on Aaron, She quickly took her phone from the counter and dialed his number. He picked on the first ring.
"Hey Baby." Stella said with a smile plastered on her face.
"Hey, how are you?." Aaron asked.
"I am good." Stella said.
"How's my baby." He said while smiling.
"She is fine, I did some grocery shopping and I got food when are you coming back." Stella said.
"aww, already missing me already." Aaron said, his voice sounded like he was laughing.
"Shut up." Stella said.
"I will be back soon, Love you." Aaron said.
"Love you more." with that she hanged up. Stella was about to wash those dishes when the bell rang, She quickly proceeded to the door, When she opened the door, She felt a soft wind touch pass her,She was met by Josephine standing on her door step.
"How can I help you?" Stella said with a smile on her face.
"My mother has a tradition of baking a pie for new neighbors." Josephine said while raising the basket towards Stella.
"I love pies, what kind is that." Stella asked.
"Peaches. “Josephine said with a smile on her face.
Stella was about to reply when she heard a whisper, a small tiny voice.
"You are allergic to peaches." The voice said into her ear. " She wants to kill you, She hates you." The voice whispered again. "She wants to kill your baby."
That last sentence brought Stella out of her thoughts. "Get out, I don't want your disgusting pie." Stella said then she immediately banged the door on Josephine's face. Stella stood by the door panting, She had no idea what just happened?, Was she hallucinating the voice?, She decided to let it go and continue her work, she went into the kitchen and washed the dishes, After she was done she cleaned her hands using the kitchen towel and Stood by the window that when she saw Josephine by the balcony, Josephine looked angry, jospehine raised her middle finger and muttered "Fuck you". Stella felt terrible she decided to go apologize she was about to open the door and when she heard the voice again.
"Stay home, Don't do that" The voice whispered. Stella raised her hands to cover her ears, she couldn't take it anymore.
"Stop it, Stop it." Stella shouted, Before she could say anything she collapsed on the hard floor.

Third Person point of view.
Aaron
Aaron was done with his work, he was briefed on everything, he was sited on one of chairs in the restaurant when he got a call from Stella, He smiled a bit before he picked the call.
"Hey Baby." Stella said, Her voice was the only time that could make him smile after a stressful day.
"Hey, How are you?" Aaron asked.
"I'm good." Stella said.
"How's my baby." Aaron said while smiling, The baby had Aaron rapped around her finger even before she is born.
"She is fine, I did some grocery shopping and I got food when are you coming back."
"aww you are missing me." Aaron said while laughing.
"shut up." Stella said.
"I will be back soon, love you." Aaron said.
"love you more." with that she hanged up, Aaron loved the fact that Stella always said that, it made him happier, When he got of the restaurant he decided to get her some flowers and chocolate, good thing there was a flower shop next to the restaurant. Aaron walked into the flower shop with a smile on his face.
"What can I help you with." asked.
"I will like a bunch of red flowers." Aaron said he couldn't stop himself from smiling.
"Girlfriend."
"Yes."
"You look so happy".
" I am surprising her." Aaron said while smiling.
"Good Luck." said while she gave him the flowers.
"Do you know where I can get chocolates?." Aaron asked.
"There is a shop down the streets."
"Ok thank you."
Aaron got the flowers and her favorite chocolate, He held them tight when he approached the door, he checked his pockets to find the key, when he opened the door his smile vanished, The flowers and chocolate had already dropped on the floor, He couldn't believe what he was seeing?, Stella laid on the floor lifeless.
"Baby, Please wake up." Aaron said while shaking her softly. " Wake up baby."
