Their End, My Beginning novel Chapter 20

Next morning

*Kat’s POV

Because of exhaustion I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night and only woke up at the morning, and because I got a good sleep, I was in a good mood. I got out of my bed stretching and looked at my clock it was only 7 in the morning meaning I have got 2 hours before I have to go to the office. Since I need only 1 hour to get dressed, I decided to just walk around or sit simply and chat with Mandy for 1 hour and then get ready to go to office.

When I came out of my bedroom, I looked at the living room and for some weird reason I felt something off I don’t know what but I have a feeling that something bad it going to happen and my instincts have never gone wrong. It might be because Mandy is still sleeping usually, she is the one who ties up the curtains to let the sunrays in and then goes to kitchen to make coffee. Since I am the first one to get out of the house, she is the one cooking in the morning and I cook dinner as I reach earlier than her.

But for a change, I got up first. Weird, not that it hasn’t happened before but like I said there is this weird feeling nagging me and I can’t help but question everything, like why is not Mandy up yet? Duh!! She slept late. And I thought I was in a good mood. Way to go, Kat!!

I went to kitchen to make coffee. As I was pouring coffee into the cup, I heard a yawn from behind me. As I know it was Mandy I didn’t turn around and handed her cup of coffee.

“What happened you woke up late today?” I asked to Mandy leaning on the counter watching her stop drinking her coffee and setting it down.

“You are asking as if it is the first time it is happening what happened?” she asked. Though what she asked me nonchalantly, I didn’t miss the hesitation or was it fear? flicker through her eyes. Before I could confirm what it was, it was replaced with a calm, confused look for my weird question. I may be making things up, as I felt weird from the moment I entered the living room it felt almost like I was going crazy.
