"Mmmm, Ouch!" Susan wakes up with a pounding headache and intense feel of hunger in her stomach but her memories are hazy and fragmented. All she remembers is that, her boss Mr Xander had offered to drop her off at her apartment and when he did, she insisted that he comes in and they both drank red wine untill she had an hangover. "Ooh No! What have I done this time." She knows that it couldn't have been good since she is loose-liped when ever she gets tipsy.As she struggles to remember what happened, she reaches for her phone to call John. Just then,she hears a light knock on the door. To her surprise, she opens the door to see John standing outside. He peeked his head, giving a flashy peerly white smile as always. "Surprise!" He spreads his arms for a warm hugShe gasps in shock to see john. Just as if he always had a telescope somewhere pointed to the back of her head, seeing that he always showed up at the right time. "Ooh... Thank God. You're here, just right ontime. I was just
After much murmuring and hesitation, she strolls sluggishly towards her phone and it stops bustling. "ThankGod. Finally!...But you know I wasn't going to answer that either ways right?" She smiles with beams of relief."I guess, you never seeze to amaze me then." John shakes his head with light Smiles. "That reminds me, it's Saturday!""Saturday...So–""So it's a time to cool off from work stress and really unwind not getting drunk and embarrassed all over your boss.""Hahahaha, hahahaha." Hey both bursts in laugh.Her smiles and laughs only lasted for some seconds even as John is still lost in laugh. Her mind races back to last night, hearing John tease her with the word UNWIND.She rubs her left eye and adds, "Really? You really had to use that punch line, now."John freezes his eyebrows up, gulping down a jolt of saliva in slow pace at Susan's smirks. Seeing the sad look on Susan's face, he walks closer and adds, "Hey.. c'mon Susi girl. I was only joking. I didn't mean for it to com
"Alright, don't worry. I'll take you to the car." He says as he gently lifts her up carefully carrying her out of the house into the car.Susan been in pain after sitting down inside the car with the help of John says to him. " Thank you, and I'm sorry to ruin our beach day." John while driving turns his head side ways stealing a glance at her realises her facial expressions as it tells both of her pain and guilty that she is the reason why they aren't going to the beach again. To console her, he puts his right hand on her shoulder. Using the other hand to drive, he says to her... "Don't be sorry, Susi. Your health is the most important thing. We'll get you to a doctor and then we'll go to the beach, some other time and have a great time."With sincerity in her voice she looks at him saying " You're always so caring, John. Thank you."He replies her fastingly focusing more on where they were headed as he says "Anytime, Susan. Let's go get you some help." Just immediately after that,
Still shocked, she asks Ketty, " Am sorry I can't really answer that question, as it's not in my place to disclose to anyone such information, except I know who is asking and the reason for the question," Still observing the leg, Dr Ketty, on hearing her reply, was happy that such persons still exist in this world. For a moment she raises her head up to see Susan face and to clear her out on the misconception but first ketty started by commending her on how she refused to answer the questions, still smiling she says " you are rare not anyone will think before answering. Any ways like I said earlier, my name is Dr. Ketty Xander, my twin brother's name is.–" "Mark Xander CEO of EMPIRE." Susan spills out, cutting Ketty off, as she trembles, taking her eyes up to closely and intentionally look once again at the doctor. She senses this familiar look. She quietly mutters, "You are the lady that was rescued from the kidnappers." With her eyes shining out.Ketty happily exclaims, "That's cu
The question asked by Susan made Xander to realise that she remembers nothing about that night. He then takes the advantage of her ignorance to remain silence about the kiss that happened that night. The silence coming from her boss, Mr Xander, already confirming to her that something must have happened that night. She knows deep down, it won't be proper to pressure him to tell her anything. Right there, she regrets why she suggested the drink wine that night, knowing fully well that she was a light drinker. With the mindset of not knowing what her boss must be thinking of her to be like, she, shaking and fretting, "I don't know what happened the other night. But am apologizing for it, am not that kind of person too. I slightly recall some wild things." She says, intending to pull him out to say something.To cover up and save the situation, Mr Xander replies her "Oh, it's nothing much, just that you got a little drunk though I did my very best to stop you."She, in a defence state,
Immediately they bid farewell to themselves, John opens the Car door for Susan. When they left the premises of the hospital, riding home. John takes that opportunity before they get home to apologize to her for the long wait. Turning to see the expression on her face, he could tell she is lost in thought, but don't know what she is thinking, he decides to call her off to make her spill what's going on in her mind especially when she saw her boss.Deep down Susan was thinking verse between what to wear for the dinner tomorrow evening and the words she heard from her boss of assurance that nothing happened last night. While thinking of all things, a smile gradually increases on her face. Just then, he cuts her off."Hey Susan, I'm so sorry for making you wait for so long. Time just seemed to fly by and before I knew it, an hour had passed." He says, looking straight on the road, driving.Happily "It's okay John. I understand things can get hectic." She rises, her hand tapping him on th
Rolling from one end of the bed to the other side with his hand dragging the bedsheets and a rushing sweat from his head to his face, showing a great sign of struggle. He quickly rises from the bed with a shout saying "NO" he pants non stop, as the dream he had flashes through his mind. He was in the middle of the road where his parents had an accident which caused their death many years ago, he relived that night in his dream and just as the dream was about to end, he sees a flash of his worst regret in life, his aunty, the mother's elder sister which caused him to shout. Remembering all this tears, fills his eyes and rolling down. As he picks up his side bed towel to wipe off the sweat and tears, he turns on the bed light to check the time. It's just a few minutes past five in the morning. He still has time to sleep before waking up to attend church, as it's Sunday morning. Still afraid and traumatised, he picks up his phone to speak with his sister Ketty. The phone rings once with
The shock in Xander's face on hearing the question, Ketty asked him could tell that he feels something but wasn't sure if he wants to achieve what it was he feels. "Hmmmmm" Ketty exhales as he remained silent for a long, just to cut whatever she is thinking.With a stammering voice he quickly says to her, "Just trying to be friendly, moreover we are indebted to her for all her help." "So stop thinking about what you don't know, doctor." He says to her as he cuts the call to avoid anymore query. He says, slipping back into his bed, covering himself with a duvet. He stays awake for a while thinking of all that has happened with him and Susan in the past days and while thinking, he falls at sleep......…From one side of the bed to another, Susan rolls, finally rising to the left side of the bed. She looks at the clock at the side desk and it's past 8:30 pm. She is shocked at the time she woke up, unlike her, who is an early riser. She races up from her bed to grab her phone, which is p
