Mysterious Strangers- 5 Parts Updated - Page 2

Thank you!❤️

Unknown POV-

Standing in a room full of pictures I smiled, lifting my fingers I traced her face, be it her dark eyes that hypnotised me, or her lips that when turned up would always make me smile to. She was mine, in every way. I would love her till the end of time.

I felt my body heat up in anger when she returned home, smelling like another man. I would find the man and kill him, for Avni was mine and mine only. Picking up the hair from her hairbrush I sniffed it and smiled, even her scent was enchanting.

--------------------

The next morning Avni awoke, looking at her alarm clock she jumped up, it hadnt gone off and she was going to be late for her audition.
She rushed to get ready as fast as she could, slipping her shoes on quickly she ran out of the house and to her car

Arriving at her audition she ran inside and to the stage, breathless she keeled over, put her hand up waved and mouthed an apology
The director raised his brow but beckoned her forward, he instructed her on what lines to read and after about 30 minutes, he promised to call her later on with details and let her know if she had got the role

She was excited, this could be her first real break through as an actress rather than the small jobs she was always doing
She sat in her car, grabbed her phone and saw a message from Neil

Neil- I know I only saw you yesterday, but if you're free for lunch that would be great, let me know if you are
Avni- I am! Eager arent we? Enjoy my company that much;) Only if I can pay?
Neil- Deal, Old Akers in 20?
Avni- On my way!

Avni sat at the cafe, drumming her fingers on the table she waited for Neil to arrive
Neil sat infront of Avni and waved "Date not arrived yet"
Avni smirked, deciding to play along she leaned on her hands "He wasnt anything special, but you on the other hand"
Neil gasped "What makes him not special, probably wasnt as good looking as me"

Avni shook her head "wasn't a fan of the beard"
Neil stroked his beard "Well other women like it"
"Im not other women"
Avni jumped as her phone buzzed
'THIS IS AN OFFICIAL ALERT, THE ALARM AT YOUR HOME HAS BEEN SET OFF '

"Oh ive gotta go sort this"
Neil stood up "want me to come with, has someone broken in"
"No, no its okay, it does this sometimes"


--------------------

The man stood by the alarm with a smile on his face
"That will teach you to see another man"
He hid as Avni pushed the door open
She sighed, turning the alarm off and put the keys on the desk, she raised her brow and turned the alarm off

As she turned to shut the door
The man put a cloth with chloroform on her mouth
Avni tried to wrestle him off but felt her limbs go weak and her eyes shut

"We didnt get to finish our marriage and now we will"
He picked her up and took her to the fire that was burning and leaned her against the table leg

Neil had decided to go to Avni's house, although she said it was a common thing for her alarm to go off, he still didnt feel comfortable for her to go there alone.
He got out his phone as he walked to her door, checking the time he sighed and knocked on the door

When he didnt hear anything he knocked again and peered through the window, he doubted very much that Avni had already sorted it and left, it had been less than half an hour and she hadn't responded to his texts either

The man holding Avni in his arms looked down at the priest and put Avni down, 4 circulations and now someone was knocking on the door. He walked slowly to the door and his gaze darkened when he saw Neil
He ran back into the living room, pulled the red scarf off Avni's head and put her on the sofa

Pulling the priest up he dragged him out the back and put a finger on his lips
"Get out of here, tell anyone about this and you know what ill do"
The priest nodded fearfully and ran away, out of the back gate

--------------------------

Avni awoke, stretching she blinked, what a weird dream she had about her ex co-worker knocking her out, she shuddered and let out a laugh, she always did have some strange dreams.
She pulled her phone from her pocket, alarmed at the 35 missed calls and 10 text messages from Neil, she called him back immediatley

--------------------------

Neil's POV-

I was relieved when I saw Avni's call, I was sure my BP was through the roof with all my worrying
"Hi Neil, sorry I didnt attend any of your calls, I fell asleep" she giggled
"Its okay, I was just worried, I came round your house and you didnt answer either "
She laughed again loudly "Guess im just a deep sleeper, sorry about having to cut our date short"

"Its okay, it had to be done, is your alarm fixed now"
"Yep, think I have to get a new one though because this is a common occurence"
I tutted, "So, other then deep sleeping, what else are you good at"
I could feel her smile through the phone "Acting, I guess, well I hope im good at it and I make a good omelette, what about you"

"Im also a deep sleeper, im good at poker and I guess my job"
"Oh my, I dont even know what your job is, also, ive never played poker, will you teach me sometime"
"Im a police officer, nothing fancy and sure if youre prepared to lose"
She gasped through the phone "What about beginners luck"
I blew air out of my mouth "If that existed I would have got a kiss on our first date"

--------------------------

Avni's POV-

I brought my legs up onto the sofa, crossing them I smiled "Still bitter about that huh"
"Wouldnt you be if you were me"
"Hey, I didnt get a kiss either"
"I was offering it, you refused, you have no right to be sad about it"
"Oh, do I not, so if I was to change my mind then"

I heard clattering in the background then a breathless Neil returned to the phone
"If you're serious I have my keys in my hand"
I couldn't help the butterflies in my stomach at his eagerness
"Im joking" I laughed
He sighed and threw himself down on something with a heavy sigh
"You play to many games, im wounded"

"Im not offering to kiss anything better" I rebuffed
"Worth a shot" he muttered
"So, when are we going to finish this second date"
"Whenever you would like"
"Ill plan the next date, just pick me up tomorrow at 8pm"

"Its a date" he replied "Take care Avni, bye"
"Bye Neil"

--------------------------

Unknown POV-

Neil Khanna, a police officer. A man of the law, hard to defeat but there was nothing I wouldnt do for my Avni.
Nothing I wouldnt rip apart
Nothing I wouldnt destroy
For her.
