It was a warm summer day and I'd decided to have a nice day to myself at Disneyland. No rushing around, just a leisure day of enjoying myself. See a few shows, go on a few rides, do a little shopping. It was a weekday in the fall that wasn't going to be too busy. Little did I know, that today was going to be anything but an ordinary day at Disneyland!
I was taking a leisure ride on the railroad that went all around the park, enjoying a bagel from y little drawstring backpack; sitting in just a casual pair of form-fitted jeans and a fairly low cut burgundy top, and of course comfortable walking shoes. Then I heard the alert from my phone that let me know I'd received a text message.
Finishing up my bagel, I reached into my pocket and flipped open my phone. I stared confused at the number, not recognizing it.
:You look beautiful, riding the railroad this morning:
It was a wonderful compliment of course, but it probably wasn't even meant to for me, I mean I didn't even know who this was. But regardless I texted the number back.
:Who is this?:
I looked around, but no one was on a phone near me and I didn't get a response right away so I went back to enjoying my ride through Disneyland.
Suddenly, as I was getting off the train back near Main Street, my phone beeped at me again and I flipped it open.
"Where to next? Maybe Tomorrow Land?:
I looked around again, but no one I knew was anywhere near me, and to be honest, I didn't even see anyone with a phone out. Then again, that probably didn't really mean anything, huh?
This time, I decided not to answer and definitely was going to bypass Tomorrowland for now. Instead, I went straight down Main Street and through the castle to Fantasy Land where I got in a fairly short line to the Peter Pan ride. The rides in Fantasy Land were more cute than anything else, and still fun even if you're not a little kid anymore.
In the middle of the short ride I got another text.
:Are you going to make me go on It's a Small World too? That's a very annoying little ride:
I looked confused down at my phone. Whoever it was texting me had been on the ride either a little ahead of me or a little after me. A shiver found its way through my body and I glanced around instinctively. But then I snapped out of it and sort of glared at my phone for a minute before smiling. If someone was following me, then why not annoy them? So I started in the direction of It's a Small World. The line was fairly long, but no where near as long as it would be in a little while when the park filled up a bit more.
I changed my message alert to vibrate, seeing as I could just barely hear it anyway. And ten minutes later, I felt it buzz.
:This isn't very nice of you, I thought you might skip it if i mentioned it:
I looked around and felt annoyed, he couldn't be that close to me without me knowing. The only person all that close with their cell out was a group of girls taking pictures and giggling. :Who is this?!:
It was a few moments later before I felt it buzz again.
:My name is Derek. But you WILL address me as Sir.:
My eyes widened and I had to close my eyes and bite my lower lip to keep from moaning. Then I blushed and grew annoyed at my reaction. I shouldn't be reacting this way! I glared at my phone for a minute before texting angrily. :Well DEREK, you have fun, I'm not paying attention anymore.:
I flipped my phone shut and put it in my pocket and tried not to think about it. A few minutes later I felt it vibrate in my pocket, but ignored it. but the trouble with my phone, was that it vibrated every five minutes or so to alert me of a message until I read it or at least acknowledged that it was received. So as I was getting seated I groaned and flipped it open and was surprised to find more than one text waiting for me.
:I'm going to ignore your outburst and such disrespect. But be warned, you've not many changes left.:
:We will talk more in a while, we're seated and the ride will begin shortly.:
I stared at my phone shocked, not only because of how my body was reacting, but he had said that WE were seated and were about to start and I couldn't help but look around me.
After the ride, I sat on a nearby bench to think for a minute then I laughed and called Shane.
"Hello?" I heard him answer.
"Hahaha, very funny, Shane." I said rolling my eyes.
"What?" He asked confused.
"So where are you? I know it's you just messing with me. Who's phone are you using?" I asked, sure I'd figured out who was texting me.
There was a long pause and Shane seemed confused. "Ashley, I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm in Illinois this week for my brothers wedding, remember?"
My heart almost leaped into my throat as I realized he'd left three days ago with his mom. I'd completely forgotten!
"Ash?! hello? Is everything alright?" I vaguely heard him ask.
I snapped out of it. "Uh yeah....Everything's fine..."
I quickly ended the conversation and looked around me. A but more visibly nervous. Who could be texting me? I mean the only logical person it could have been was Shane, but he was half way across the country.
Suddenly, I felt my phone vibrate and i jumped a little.
:Nope, this isn't a joke or a prank. I'm NOT your ex-boyfriend.:
My heart was racing as I sat there looking around me before texting back. :Who is this? What do you want?:
A few agonizing minutes passed by before it vibrated again in my palm.
:I told you who I am, and you'll know what I want soon enough.:
:Now since we're in Fantasyland, lets hear one of your fantasies.:
I stood and started walking back through the castle feeling nervous, but excited at the same time. Almost feeling him following me, but there were no familiar faces near. I couldn't possibly answer that text. I made my way to Tomorrowland. Maybe if I saw a show it would take my mind off of these weird texts. So I decided to go to the next showing of Honey I Shrunk The Audience, which would start in thirty minutes.
I was seated twenty minutes later, with those odd glasses in hand, my drawstring backpack on the floor between my feet, and as the show started, I started to relax a bit, that is, until the odd sensations through the show. How they made you feel the mice, etc...It was almost like torture when your senses are already on such high alert! And on top of it, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket throughout the show.
Almost immediately after I left the "theater" I checked my texts.
:You're delightful to watch, pet.:
:I can't wait until later when we try other things:
