Lyricist: Her Revenge

The two girls quietly finished their dinner and went to sleep. But, as soon as Erica entered her room, a frown formed on her face. She sat down heavily on the bed and her mind wandered back to the TV show. The handsome face appeared again and again in her mind.

Infatuation? Erica shook her head. But she had to admit that hse had not seen such a handsome person. At least, not in these past few months of her life. Moreover, maybe her thoughts got polluted being in that brothel for so long. Indeed, an environment impacts every living creature in it. She sighed and prepared to go to sleep. For her, it was finally a night without nightmares.

...

The next morning

Erica woke up when the warm sunlight poured in through the curtains that were flowing with the wind. She stretched and turned and her eyes fell on the alarm clock placed on the side drawer.

9:30 A.M.!

She sat up immediately with horror written on her face. But, then she noticed a piece of paper tugged under the clock. She grabbed it and saw calligraphy of neat handwriting on it.

It said,

"If you are reading this, then you are wide awake. Since you were asleep, I didn't inform you. I am going to the supermarket. Your breakfast is in the fridge. Warm-up before you eat. I will be back as soon as possible."

Emily

Erica sighed and climbed down her bed. Then, she approached her handbag and pulled out her toothbrush. Then, she opened the closet and found some dresses hung inside. She chose a light blue frock and rushed inside the washroom.

Erica took a look in the mirror while brushing. Suddenly, she heard a buzz inside her head. A blur memory rushed into her mind. The only clear thing was the conversation.

"Danny Boy!" a light chuckle escaped her lips.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Danny Boy, will you go watch a movie with me?"

Erica shook her head to clear her mind. For a moment, she felt that she was sitting inside a radio. She pushed these thoughts at the back of her mind and quickly washed up. Then, she quickly made her way downstairs. As told, she found a bowl of mac and cheese inside the fridge. She let it warm inside the microwave. Once it was warmed, she took it out and sat on the love couch to enjoy it. She was eating slowly as the cheese and mac melted into a mess in her mouth.

"Mm", Erica closed her eyes and softly pressed against the couch, "Cheese is my all-time favorite."

Just then, she heard the doorbell and Erica grunted as she got up. Who could it be at this hour? She could not help but think. Nevertheless, she gritted her teeth, put down the bowl and made her way to the door.

When she opened the door, she saw a tall and charismatic man, with frown lifting his leg to kick the door, "How long does it take you to open the door?!"

His handsome face froze with horror when he saw the dirty look Erica was directing him. Erica frowned and asked, "Who are you? Are you here for Emily? But, she is not at home."

"Ha! Who am I!?" the man sneered and bumped onto her shoulder as he moved inside without hesitation, "I should be the one asking you this. Who are you?"

Then, he scrutinized the living room as he spoke, "Did Emily hire a new maid without asking me?", he turned to look at Erica, "But you don't look like one, though. Your face resembles a celebrity instead."

"What do you mean?" Erica glared at him in a confused manner.

The door was still open, and they had not noticed Emily's arrival.

"Big brother?" Emily's startled voice came from behind them.
