The sensei

As the water from the shower poured on Lilith's hair to her skull, the thoughts of the boy she met earlier outside her door kept coming to her. Something about him was just odd but she could not spot what. She would have mentioned him to Andreas but she felt it wasn't relevant and besides, she had other reasonable things to talk to him about other things than that.

She did not rush her bath as she scrubbed her skin slowly, taking a deep breathe with each scrub. She did not know why but she had this serene calmness within her and all she wanted to do now was to leave the shower and get a good long nap.

She was still fantasizing about how long and endearing her nap will be till she a strange bird flew into her bathroom through the open window.

She felt startled at first but then realized it was just a bird and she had nothing to worry about. She carried the bird on her palm and opted to show it the way out of the bathroom before it's feathers get wet but then she noticed it was no ordinary bird but it had a message on it's claws.

She took it out and let the bird go before she opened the rolled up message and read what it said. Her eyes widened on the content of the paper and she froze for some seconds after reading it.

She kept the paper aside and rinsed her body and hair quickly, and dried it with her towel that hung there. Once she dried her body, she put on the clothes she had brought into the bathroom with her and put the paper in one of the pockets. It was a purple crop long sleeved top on a purple pair of trousers. She used the band on her hand tied her hair together not minding that she didn't comb it.

She opened the window wide and drew the curtains to see if she could fit into it and she did. She looked down from it and saw that it was quite a height from the ground but she was sure she could get out through there without any problem.

'She liked him?' Andreas thought with hate boiling within him. 'What did she mean by she liked him? Who was this sensei anyway and what is so special about him that would make Lilith confess she liked him. He was really overstepping his boundaries by getting a like from her and he was sure to show him the parts not cross with her. She was his and no one should try to change that.

He was so drown in his ocean of jealousy that he did not notice that Lilith had been in the bathroom for a long time now. It has been thirty minutes since she entered there and she still isn't. It would have beenore understandable if it was a thub at least one could say she slept off, but it wasn't, it was a shower and she should have been out already.

He stayed that way for some time, still wondering what Lilith's sensei might look like, if he was good looking and young. If he was strong or maybe very sensible. However, whatever or how ever he might be, he was sure that he was definitely no better than him.

At that conclusion he was now relaxed enough to notice that Lilith had stayed longer than she ought to in the bathroom. Infact, she had consumed alot of time in there and he wondered what might be keeping her in there for such a long time. He decided to give sometime, about five minutes to see if she would come out but no, the door never opened.

Now that was it. He pulled himself from the bed where he lay and walked to the bathroom door and knocked slowly on it, calling her name. "Lilith. Lilith" are you in there, what is going on? You have been in there for so long now". He said with all the care one could test on words but he received no answer.

"Lilith please talk to me" he persisted. "What is it? What's going on in there. Talk now or l will break down this door in two minutes" he threatened, hoping it would get her to open the door, but it didn't and he already ran out of patience.

"Lilith l am breaking this door in ten seconds if you don't open up. Open the door and tell me what is wrong with you and what you are doing there" still nothing. He refused to talk no more as he just gave the door a hard kick and it fell immediately. He walked into the bathroom with anxious eyes searching for Lilith but she wasn't there and the clothes she had taken into the bathroom with her were gone to and whole place looked like she went out in a rush as her towel was not hung well and her her former clothes just lay on the floor damp. Also , the bathroom window was drawn and the curtains were open showing that she had left the bathroom through the window. 'Where could she gave gone?' he thought with fustration not having the slightest idea where she might have gone.

Or maybe he does, the sensei...
