Stalker, Go Home

''You will have to carry the burden of what you did. That man loved you in your previous life; now is time to give him that same love. He might really need you. Since he also cried to the heavens to give him a chance to go back in time and meet you again.''

''What do you mean?'' Inayah's frown deepened.

''The initials on your shoulder. Did you think it was there for fun? From now onwards, anytime you two fight, the birthmark will burn you until you make up with him.''

''I…'' Inayah's lips trembled as she thought about Jasper Miles.

''Figure it all by yourself. In this life, you will still have to face the people that don't want your happiness and be a cupid to those who sincerely cared for you. If you're able to do that, maybe their sincere cries would be able to prevent you from dying again. See you around, little girl.'' Solar smiled before leaving the body of Mrs. Hanna.

Mrs. Hanna suddenly shivered, coming back to her senses. She looked at the ghastly face of Inayah and asked, ''Why do you all look flustered?''

Bertha came back to her senses and said to Mrs. Hanna, ''just right now, you told me that I would fall in love with the one I hate the most. What did you mean by that?''

''Me? I said that to you girls?'' Mrs. Hanna shook her head and chuckled, ''why would I say such a thing?''

''Yes?'' Bertha replied even more confused.

Inayah grabbed her bag and said to them, ''I think I have to go.''

''Where are you going?'' Bertha and Mrs. Hanna asked at the same time.

''Inayah...'' Bertha tried to stop her.

''I will call you later.'' Inayah said to them and ran out of the house.

.....

INAYAH'S HOUSE.

Inayah got down from the taxi and ran into her apartment. She went straight into her bedroom and started removing her clothes.

''I knew something was not right with me. What exactly happened? Why can't I remember anything after coming back?'' She looked at her naked body in the full length mirror and the tattoo shone, burning her slightly.

''Ahh!'' She screamed in pain and a few tears dropped from her eyes. ''What exactly does this tattoo mean? Does it really have something to do with Mr. Miles? What exactly are you and why are you on my body? I need to find answers!''

Inayah picked up her bathrobe and covered up her body, she tied the robe securely around her waist and ran out of her apartment towards the mansion ''He must know something that I don't.''

Inayah stood at the door and pressed the doorbell several times and didn't hear any response.

''Is he not yet in? But, the lights are clearly on at the upper floor. Is he asleep? What did I expect? Coming her over a spirit's words? Oh my god!!! How did I know she is a spirit? I must be going crazy.''

Inayah shook her head and was about to turn and leave when the door opened automatically by itself. ''Oh, the door is opened?''

When she entered inside, she realised the hall was dark.

''God, why is this place so dark? Where is the switch? Mr. Miles, are you in here?'' She touched the wall and the light turned on.

''Gotcha!'' Inayah smiled and turned, almost falling to her back when she saw Jasper laying on the sofa.

It meant he was laying in the dark and didn't bother to turn on the light.

''Lord, what is this?'' Inayah looked at the bottles of whiskey and a glass laying on the floor and shook her head.

She went closer to him and asked, ''Mr. Miles, are you asleep? He is so drunk. What happened to him for him to be this drunk?''

She bent down to take the bottles and glass and suddenly felt a force that pulled her over, making her fall on top of Jasper.

''Oh, you are not asleep?'' Inayah asked and flushed when he looked at her.

''What are you doing here?'' Jasper asked, still keeping his arms around her body as she remained on top of him.

''I came to ask you something but I see you're not in your right mind. What happened to you? You drunk quite a lot.'' Inayah pulled herself up. She frowned and asked, ''can I send these to the kitchen? You are going to hurt yourself at this rate.''

When she didn't hear any response, she picked the things up and went to put them in the kitchen. She turned after placing them on the table and saw him standing at the kitchen door.

''I can never get used to this face.'' Inayah muttered. It seemed that, Jasper no longer bothered to wear a mask around her ever since he showed her his real face.

''Why can I touch you?'' Jasper asked with a complicated gaze as he stepped closer to her.

''Huh? Can't you touch other people?'' Inayah asked innocently.

''Why are you the only one I can touch after so many years?''

''I too want an answer to that. Mr. Miles, I came to ask you something.'' Inayah suddenly remembered her reason for going over.

She walked out of the kitchen and Jasper followed her back to the hall.

''What is it?''

''Today, I don't see your bodyguards and that old man?'' Inayah looked at the interior of the hall.

''I gave them a holiday.''

''Really? That's good for them.''

''You didn't come here to look at my face. Did you?''

''No!'' Inayah blushed. ''I came to ask you something.''

''What is it? Say it fast and leave, I don't feel too well.'' Jasper looked impatient.

''Mr. Miles, have we met before?'' Inayah sighed confused as she looked at him keenly.

''You stalk me all day!'' Jasper lifted a single brow as he leaned against the sofa.

''Not that. I mean did we meet before I left for rehab? I can't seem to put a finger to it but, I think this is not the first time we are seeing each other. It's definitely not the first time I am seeing you. It's odd.''

''Is that what you came to ask me?''

''Yes. Do you perhaps believe in reincarnation?'' Inayah asked and her bathrobe sleeve slipped down and she didn't notice.

When Jasper saw her cleavage, he stood up immediately.

''Stalker, go home. I'm tired!''

''Wait!!'' Inayah held her hand and stood up, ''sorry. I didn't mean to hold your hand.'' She said and stepped back when she saw Jasper moving closer to her. ''What are you doing?''

''You…'' Jasper chuckled, ''you don't seem to fear me one bit? Do you think I'm been considerate towards you?''

''No!'' Inayah shook her head and instinctively held his shirt when she tripped and was about to fall on the sofa.

Jasper pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her waist.

''Did you come here, looking like this?'' He glanced down at her robe and Inayah pulled it together and pushed him away.

''Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't come to seduce you. I just… I just… what was I going to say. In any case, I only came because I was curious about something I heard, so don't get the wrong idea and also. I should probably be on my way now. You don't have to see me off. I can find my own way.'' Inayah said and ran out of the house.

Jasper frowned as he thought about that mark he saw on her shoulder, ''it was definitely my initials. Did she go to get a tattoo?''

Inayah shut the door once she was inside her apartment.

She took a deep breath and muttered. ''Whoa!! What a way to go, Inayah. You've just added another name to the one you already have.''
