    You’re woken abruptly by your phone ringing in the middle of the night. Of course it’s a no called ID. You groan, thinking it’s some other scammer on the other side of the world ringing you, but even then your gut feeling is telling you to answer it — so you do.

    “Hello?” Your groggy voice sounds, letting out a sigh as you scratch the back of your head, wondering what somebody could possibly want at this time of day.

    “Shh.. sólo escucha.” The man on the other line mumbles, he lets out a chuckle, taking a moment before speaking again.

    “It’s five at dawn. I haven’t slept a wink… thinking about you.” You can almost hear the man’s smirk from the other end of the phone line, and for a second you think about hanging up; until he speaks again.

    “Until you’re mine, I won’t live in peace.” His voice grows more husky, and it’s apparent he’s been obsessed with you for a while now. “I met your boyfriend, alright.” He scoffs, “he’s short and ugly.”

    Alejandro, the man on the other end of the line, has been following you for a good while now; despite wanting to be happy for you, he seethes with rage every time he sees your boyfriend, but he’ll have patience since he’s not exactly competition.

    “He doesn’t know how to please you like I do.” He whispers into the phone, his identity remaining a mystery for the time being.
