Stalk The Halls

Chapter 7

There was a knock at the door.  Ryo rose from the couch making sure he didn’t wake up Dee and quickly put on a robe.  He went to the door and asked who it was.

“FedEx Delivery for Dee Laytner.”

Ryo opened the door and saw the delivery person with a long box.  Ryo signed the receipt and thank the man as he took the box.  As soon as the door closed, he placed the box on the table and saw that it came from California.  He was tempted to open it but elected to wait for his lover since it was for Dee.  He went to the bedroom to put on some clothes.  He will wake up Dee later so that he can put on some clothes although he prefers his love to stay the way he is now.

At 3PM, Marty stopped by along with his wife.  He took a month off visiting his in-laws who lived in the Pacific Northwest.  Ryo had the couple to wait in the kitchen while he woke up Dee and had him change into a pair of pants and a shirt.  Once done, Dee welcome his guests as he helped Ryo prepared the food that was in the basket.  The table was set and the food was served as the four merrily chatted about travel and parties.  After the rich meal, the group went to the living room.

“So Dee.  Are you going to open that box?” grin Marty.

“Yeah, yeah.  Only to quiet you down”, smiled Dee as he opened the box.  Inside was a pure white silk shirt that had red crosses embroidered on the collar and a pair of black slacks that was tailored made.

“Wow Dee!  This is top of the line”, smiled the wife.

“Yeah.  I’m looking at two paychecks for the whole thing”, nodded Marty.

“There’s a note here”, said Ryo as he handed the envelope to Dee.

“Now, I’ve heard stories that you, Dee, have a rich stalker.  Could this be from said stalker?”

“Yeah”, growled Dee as he handed the letter to Ryo.

“So, what does it says”, asked the wife with curiosity.  Ryo read the letter.

When I saw that you wasn’t at the party because

of work, I was very disappointed.

So, I had to see you at your job in which I did.

You looked so beautiful at the crime scene as you

looked at the clues and interviewed each witness.

I wanted my princess to be on display and

was denied.

Please don’t have me to punish someone

because my wish was ignored by your work superiors.

I brought this outfit for you to wear at a holiday luncheon

on Sunday.  

You will wear this and you will be in attendance.

Arrangements were made so that you will be there.

I look forward to run my hands along your beautiful

soft skin and place a very chaste kiss on those

supple sweet lips.

And if you don’t come, then I will have no

choice but to remove you from the job and the life you

are living now.

I will see you on Sunday

My Beautiful Dee  Laytner.

“Damn Dee!  You got a true stalker after you”, yelled Marty.  “And to think I was missing out on all of this!”

“Well, this stalker is screwing up everyone’s holiday”, growled Dee.

“Everyone’s time off has been cancelled until this killer stalker is caught”, responded Ryo.

“And I was planning to switch with someone to have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off”, moan Marty.  “So, do you want me to tag along tomorrow?”

“Sure.  That way, you will see what we’re up against”, smile Ryo.  “Plus Rose and the gang will be there.”

“How come I get the feeling that you want me there so that Dee won’t kill Rose or JJ on the spot?” laughed Marty.

“I’m sure you won’t have to worry about that”, spoke Dee.  “If what Ryo told me is true, I’ll be swamped by the other guests.”

They laughed as Dee took the envelopes from the baskets and open them.  In each one was a $1000.00 gift card.  There were five in total.

“Wow!!!” whistled the wife.  “They must really like you.”

“Now, it’s getting weird”, moan Dee.  “No name of the giver on the card or envelope.”

“Hey! If you don’t want them…” smiled Marty as he stretched out a hand.

“Keep dreaming”, grin Dee.  “Ryo and I will find something to do with these.”

By 9PM, Ryo and Dee said their good byes to Marty and his wife telling their co-worker to be at the apartment at 10AM.  After cleaning up the dishes, they retired to the bedroom.  As they snuggled into each other’s arms, they talked as they kissed.

“Will you be alright tomorrow Dee?”

“As long as nothing happens, I should be alright.  Maybe we will catch that bastard and then I can enjoy the holidays.”

“Maybe.  Just remember that I will be by your side always and forever.”

Dee let out a sigh as he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.  Planting a kiss on his lover’s lips, Ryo closed his eyes and follow suit into a peaceful sleep.
