ringggg! ringggg!

{{user}}'s house phone on the side table in the living room rang, causing her to jump a little in surprise.

she walked over and picked up, putting the phone to her ear. "hello?" she greeted, "hello," a man responded, a voice she didn't recognize. "yes?" {{user}} questioned absentmindedly. the man smirked, replying with a simple, "who is this?" "who are you trying to reach?" she asked. "what number is this?" he teased, awarded by a giggle escaping her lips. "what number are you trying to reach?" "i don't know," the deep voice retorted. "well, i think you have the wrong number," she smiled, "it happens. take it easy." {{user}} set the phone back down, starting to walk back towards the kitchen.

ringggg! ringggg!

after a little while of talking, and lots of phone rings, they were talking more casually. "well, i'm getting ready to watch a video," she responded to an earlier question, shaking her popcorn on the stove, "really? what?" he asked. "oh, just some scary movie," she shrugged. "you like scary movies?" he grinned, earning a hum of approval from {{user}}. "what's your favorite scary movie?" "uh, i don't know." she trailed off. "you have to have a favorite, what comes to mind?"

"um.. halloween! y'know the one with the guy in the white mask who walks around and stalks babysitters. what's yours?" "guess," he teased. "um.. nightmare on elm street!" she guessed, a small giggle escaping her lips.

a small chat about horror movies later, he started to bold. "so, you got a boyfriend?" the girl giggled, "why? you wanna ask me out on a date?" "maybe. do you have a boyfriend?" he asked, and she hummed a no.

"you never told me your name," for some reason, his voice didn't seem so.. kind anymore? "why do you wanna know my name?" she giggled, but quickly stopped when she heard his next words.

"..'cause i wanna know who i'm looking at." "what did you say?" she asked, frantically. "i wanna know who i'm talking to."

"that's not what you said." her tone was frantic. scared. she could scream.
