Do Not Fall Asleep

“ding dong” Rosaline gently patted her leg on the ground,

she checked the time on her watch that fits perfectly around her wrist. She rang the doorbell again and could hear faint footsteps coming from the other side of the door.

The door was pushed opened from the inside,  through a small gap, a middle aged woman

peeped as she scans Roseline from head to toe.

“Cake delivery” rose said whilst raising the package in her

hand. The woman nodded. She seems to be a guest in this place as Roseline has

come here a few times and this was not usually the person she meets .

The door opens again and another woman stepped outside, Rose smiled and greeted “ good morning Mrs wright “

Picking up the pace, rose half ran across the street as she

took three turns with a small bag in her hand trying her best not ruin the content. The young girl didn’t want to waste anytime. Finally, she stopped in

front of house, rose would have made use of her bike but she had recently just sent it for repairs.

A small gate was preventing her from going further in, she sighed and tried to catch her breath. Before pushing the gate that was luckily

left opened.

Just when she was about to open the door , someone who is older than her mum opened the door with a wide smile plastered on her face. She

looked to have been expecting Roseline.

“I was starting to think you would arrive late”  the woman said

Rose immediately apologized “ sorry Mrs  Thompson ,I got caught up in the middle of
