The next day, a strong piercing light coming from outside woke me up. I forgot to close the blinds when I went to bed last night. I looked out of the window and noticed that it stopped snowing. The storm was gone and the wind settled as well. It was warm quiet december morning.

I walked out of my room and went to take a shower. I tried not to make much noise in case Karla was still in bed. When I was finished in the bathroom I went straight to the kitchen. I needed to get myself a cup of coffe in order to stop falling asleep as I was walking.

 Entering the kitchen I noticed a piece of paper on the fridge. It was a note from Karla saying

" Good morning sweetie I´m on my way to a grocery store. When I woke up I wanted to make us a breakfast but I found out that we ran out of coffe and I also needed some pastry. I´ll be right back."

 

You know when some days are meant to suck from the beginning? I think that this is going to be one of them. At least I had time to think about what happened last night.

I just couldn´t believe it all actually happened to me. I so wished that at least one part of yesterday evening was just a dream. But I wasn´t really certain which one of them. The one when I was scared to death or the one that completely broke me?

I wen´t back to my room and checked the pocket where I put the pictures last night when I was leaving my apartment. They were there. Three of them actually. The one with the young blonde, the one with the african.american gentleman and there was also a third photo that I haven´t seen yet.

It was a picture of young woman with short ginger hair and green eyes. I´ve never seen any of these people. I wondered why did someone send this to me and how am I connected to these strangers.

 

And especially, what was in the letter next to these photos. I also dropped some of the pictures on the floor last night. There were at least two more of them. After a while the door opened and I heard the keys rattle. I left my room and went to living room to greet Karla.

" Good morning, did you sleep well?"

" Yeah I´m fully rested. The only thing I miss is..."

" Coffe I know. I´m sorry for that. When I found out I hurried to the grocery store and was hoping to be back before you wake up."

" It doesn´t matter. At least I had enough time to take a shower, get dressed and when we finish the coffe we can go straight to my apartment."

" That´s right sweetie. Oh I´m glad you´re feeling better, you looked horrible last night. I was really worried about you. "

 

As we were sitting on the couch sipping our coffes I decided to tell her about the photos and the letter. I wanted to avoid that kind of situation when we´re in my apartment and I´m desperately looking for something and she starts asking me what am I looking for and won´t stop unless she gets an answer. So I would have to tell her anyway sooner or later.

Plus, if  we both start looking there´s a better chance of finding it. Honestly I don´t think it´s still on the table in the living room. Even though Rex never reads my mail he must have had a reason to open it yesterday so he might have a reason to keep it now.

" Where are you going? " She asked me.

" I need to show you something. Wait here I´ll get it, it´s in my room. " I went to get the pictures and then returned. I was kind of nervous and hoped that she might recognize some of these people, but the chances weren´t very high.

" Take a look at this, do you recognize any of them? " I passed her the photos.

I didn´t think she would but one never knows. Karla has many friends and contacts.

 " No I don´t. But I would really love to get to know this hot black guy with glasses. "

Why am I not surprised.

" Oh stop it, this is serious. Take a look again. Are you sure you´ve never seen them before?"

" Yeah I´m absolutely positive. I don´t know any of them. Why is that so important and where did you get these pictures? Who are they? "

" Hmm do you think i´d be asking you if I knew them? Anyway, I found these last night in my apartment. Somebody , probably Rex, opened an envelope that was adressed to me and it contained these pictures and a letter."

" And what was in the letter? "

" I don´t know. I didn´t read it. I left it on a table in our living room when I was leaving my apartment last night."

" Hmm do you know who sent you this letter? "

" I have no idea. "

" Then maybe it´s just one big misunderstanding. Maybe it wasn´t even for you. "

" I don´t think so. There was my name on it. "

 

I might be exaggerating a little bit but what if it´s really important. What if it´s somehow connected to this stranger from the Café or worse, to Rex´s infidelity.

 

" Anyway, when we get to my apartment this is the number one thing we need to look for. Although I left it on the table I don´t think it´ll still be there."

" Okay it´s 9:43 am. When do you want to leave? "

" How about immediately? The sooner the better."

We finished the coffe and left for my apartment.
