2.13 Blair's Surprise

Blair was busy putting the last few details of the next venue together and it was giving him a headache so when he received a call on his mobile he was relieved to have the distraction. "Hi." as the number came up unknown.

"I wanted to say thanks for the other night."

"Um, who is this and how did you get this number?"

"Blair it's me, Teddy I'm the girl you drove home. They gave me your number at the club."

"I remember you have a temper when you can't get a drink. Are you feeling better after the other night?
"I'm ok. Are you working tonight?"

"I'm working from home, why?"

"Could I come and see you? It's just I want to talk to someone and you were a great at listening the other night, would it be ok?"

"I guess so I'll come and get you around 7pm, would that be ok?"

"That'll be fine and I will be ready. See you shortly."

As he put the phone down he wondered if it was a good idea. After all he was struggling with his own problems and dealing with heartbreak and rejection he hated but he could definitely sympathize with Teddy.

Blair asked Teddy if she wanted a drink but she declined as she made herself at home.

"So what do you want to talk about?" as he sat next to her.

"I just needed someone to talk to as living on your own gets lonely and talking to yourself is horrible."

"I love the solitude. Don't you have friends to talk too? I mean you hardly know me."

"I did have friends but my ex pushed them all away. He hated me talking to anyone but I finally got the strength to throw him out after listening to his crap."

Blair started to feel uncomfortable, "Look I do have a lot of work to do maybe I should take you home!"

"Please let me stick around. I enjoy your company." as she looked into his eyes. Blair thought why would this young girl like my company. Then she asked as she moved close towards him, "Are you seeing anyone?"

"No. I love the single life. Tell me more about yourself." As he tried to pull away but as she got closer he found her charming and so he started to relax. As they talked more he began to smile and laugh. "What's so funny?" Teddy asked.

"You are; you have such a beautiful smile when you laugh."

"I don't." as she threw a pillow at him and before Blair knew it he was in a pillow fight with her. When they finished they both collapsed in fits of laughter.

"I haven't had this much fun in a long time." as he tried to get his breath back.

 "It is getting late so I'd better get you home."

He still had a smile on his face when he got back home. As he passed through the living room he noticed some things were out of place. He thought he was imagining things and he must have forgotten to put things back. Tonight had been a good night despite his concerns and a few things out of place were not going to spoil things for him.

Blair was too wired to sleep yet so he went back to working on the next venue and to make sure all the figures were correct before he spoke to Estevan and confirmed the final details. There was a loud noise coming from up stairs so he left the desk and made his way up stairs. The noise was coming from his black room as he like to call it. He loved that room as it was so dark and peaceful but who would dare to invade his favourite room in the house.

He slowly got to the door and took hold of the handle taking care to turn the handle quietly. He then pushed the door as wide as it would go and slowly made his way into the room. He saw a shadow of a figure using his bed and yelled, "Get out of my bed."

There was no response, "Did you fucking hear me? I said get out of my bed." As he got closer to the bed he saw who was lying on his bed and when they spoke it sent shivers down his spine, "Why should I?" as Elvira's ghost refused to go anywhere.
