Chapter 7

I'm in the conference meeting together

with the board members of my company. 

But even though my presence is here,

all I think about is Felicity. 

What she's doing? How's she feeling? Did her menstrual cramps got worst? These are the questions kept running inside my head, which cause me to be distracted and unattentive in the meeting.

" Ahmm. Excuse me please " I said as I raised my hand to get the attention of the board members.

When I able to gain their attention. I stood up proudly and fixed my suit. I eyed everyone before talking.

" I'm so sorry but I have to cancel our meeting today. I have an emergency... Ms. Young I'll leave this to you, I gotta go. " 

I immediately get my things and storm out, not minding their different reactions.

I know I'm acting weird right now, but thinking of Felicity's state makes me worried as hell. 

Before directly going home, I stopped in a pharmacy to buy her a medicine and other things I think she'll need. 

For the past five years, I don't experience getting worried over a girl, even to my own mother. But, their's only that one person in the past, who could made me feel it. 

I know I'm being asshole for thinking about her, and comparing everything about her to what I noticed and felt towards Felicity. I hope my past won't affect too much of my present, as well as my future. 

I parked my black Aston Martin car and composedly walk to my apartment. 

As I enter to my apartment, the first thing I noticed is the box of pizza that I ordered placed in the table.

I go near the table and check the foods that I ordered. Only to find out that nothing's left. She's really a heavy eater huh? 

I clean the table first and accidentally dropped the fork she used on the floor. 

I'm a tidy person, very meticulous in everything that concern cleanliness. And I don't want my house to be dirty and unorganize.

After cleaning up, I get a glass of water in the kitchen for Felicity. I think she's already sleeping now, but I still have to wake her up, so that she can take a medicine.

I knocked at the door before finally entering. And it shocked me when I saw the bed empty. 

What the heck! Felicity was not in my bed, where is she? 

It only made me anxious when I think of her situation before leaving her alone. Did she went to the hospital? Or went out to buy medicine?

I go to the bathroom to check if she's there, but she's not. God! She's making me very worried and I hate it. 

Her things? I mean her clothes is on my closet, so if she choose to leave me she should bring her things with her. 

I hurriedly walked towards my closet and harshly open it. 

" What the fuck!" My hoarse voice filled my room, as I received a punch straight at my fucking face.

Yes! Felicity fucking punch my fucking face! What is that for?

 I looked angrily at her, all my worries were gone. She was also shocked and unable to react properly. 

" I'm so sorry Damon... I thought it's a thief that enters your apartment. I didn't know it was you! I mean you should be in a meeting right? When I heard a noice downstair I panicked and immediately hide myself here. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to punch you! Of course not! But it's my instinct telling me to do it!" she explained hesterically.

Damn! I'm angry but seems like she got a point. I didn't told her I'm coming home, so she thought someone enters my apartment. 

I stepped backward as she went out from hiding in my closet. She looked apologetically at me, as she reached for my face. 

Her warm hands touched my face softly, as if my face is some fragile thing.

" Does it hurts?" 

" Oh my God! Your nose! " She exclaimed. 

We are now so close to each other, her body is lightly press on mine as she examine my nose. 

Damn! I can feel her hot breath on my neck. I close my eyes and feel her touch and her hot breath. It's making me feeling hot. My body stiffened from the tingling sensation I feel. 

" What the fuck! Felicity! " I shouted at her.

She slapped my face! What's her problem!? She doubtly looked at me with a playful smile in her lips.

" You're enjoying my touch too much. The hell Damon! You liked it huh? Pervert! " She blurted accusingly.

" Whatever " I left her dumbfounded and went to the small table to get her medicine and the water.

I didn't notice that she followed me, and is just behind me. And due to my shocked state, the glass almost slip from my hand. Damn it!

" You brought me a medicine? How thoughtful of you Damon. I thought you don't care, that's why you leave me and went to your meeting instead "

That's what I also thought, that I can leave her and just attend my meeting. But I failed, because the idea of her being left alone with menstrual cramps really bothered me. 

" I canceled my meeting tonight. I can't seem to concentrate and think rationally. When all I ever think was you " 

I professed to her, which made her smile from ear to ear. She's weird!

" You really did that for me huh? I played through your mind that's why you can't concentrate, then, thus that mean you did not just care for me, but also worry?"

That's too damn obvious! I won't answer her for that. 

" Just drink this, so that you can rest and sleep early. I need you tomorrow " 

When I saw her reaction, it's like she's getting the wrong idea of ' I need you '. Damn this naughty woman!

" I need you as my secretary tomorrow. You have a lot of things to do, so get enough of rest. "

I went to the bathroom for a hot shower. After a couple of minutes, I went out wearing only a boxer. 

Felicity is just sitting on the left side of the bed. I went to the other side of the bed, I looked at her and she's like of a dull somber color. 

I really can't predict her actions, not even her feelings.

" Do you have a problem? " I asked showing a concern for her. 

" I'm always like this, I have difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings, and sometimes difficulty returning to sleep after awakenings. I only had this, when I got here, and I'm feeling sad and lonely whenever I'm thinking of my mom." 

I believe all person has it's weakness and I think her mom is her biggest weakness, which cause her to have insomnia when she leave her and missed her.

" I'd experienced that, and I can only advice you to pray. Give all your worries to God, all your concernment and solicitude to him. It will help you " I verbalize to her, thinking and basing it on my own experienced before.

" I can't fall sleep easily when I'm not tipsy or drunk and I can't fall asleep when no one caresses my hair like my mother always do " 

It saddened me to hear it from her. She's really having a hard time of being alone.

" I'm here. I mean, I can take care of you if you want. I'll do what your mother do for you." 

I don't know what's with me, but I voluntarily offer it to her. 

" You only care for me now because I have cramps. Maybe if I'm back to my normal state, you'll hurt me again. Like how you used to hurt me before. " 

I can't promise I won't hurt her but tonight I realized I want to be with her, to take care for her and comfort her.

I shook my head as a sign of disagreeing from what she say.

" No, I want us to be like this. Very natural, since we're dating, I want to get to know you more. And you'll do the same to me. Alright? "

I have no choice but to tell her this. I hope she understands my point for doing this, afterall, we can both benefit from this. If we just cooperate to one another.

" I almost forget that we're dating. But, yeah, you're idea is good. We'll be each others hand. " 

She lay carefully on the bed and cover her body with comforter. I turn off the lamp beside me and lay beside her. 

Felicty seems to get use of having someone sleep beside her. Because she's comfortable with me, sleeping by her side.

We both stares at the ceiling. I hope this is a good sign that I able to talk with her with no shouting and cursing. I hope we stay like this. 

" You have a girlfriend?" 

What an unexpected question coming from her! But she sounded serious when she asked, and that deserves a serious answer too.

" No. It's been almost five years since I don't have girlfriend. But it's okay, I'm not ready to love again. Not yet. " 

' But I hope I am ready to love again '  

" Sorry for the straightforward question. I just don't want to be a mistress, or be called as a boyfriend stealer. I don't want to encounter fight, with your girls " 

I understand her point for that. 

" Same. I don't want to have fight with your boys too " I said mimicking her voice.

Then we both laugh at each others weirdness. I hope this won't be just for tonight. I want to experience this everyday, like how I used to.
