Fifty eight

CHAPTER 58

GLENN

"What? I don't get you." I grimaced.

I was trying to process my mind through whatever she was saying at the moment, still feeling stunned in a way that she had offered me money in exchange for me to leave him.

"Please, I know you want this deal so bad." She closed the rest of the space between us.

"I made my findings and I know you are in need of money."

"But not your money."

She shrugged. " Well. "

Looking at her, I could say that she was the most impossible person. Here I was thinking of a way to ignore her but then she was coming up with this.

"Well, I know this is a very hard decision to make so I'd give you this." She hands me her card. " Call me when you make up your mind. "

It was a long bus trip home, I sat with my head glued to the glass in deep thoughts about the entire situation.

One part of my mind saw all of this as a lost course, perhaps taking the deal felt more kind of awkward.

I sighed, at that moment I wasn't even thinking straight, my mind was clouded as more devastating thought filled every corner of it.

I couldn’t quit thinking about my experience with Martha, over and over again the deal she tabled was still there at the back of my mind.

The bus pulled to a stop, as it did I alighted and made my way toward that dark alley that led to my home.

I stopped at the door and picked up an envelope. I tore open the envelope as soon as I was pushing my way Into the room.

Without reading I know what it was about already, it was midway to the second month and already the rent was overdue.

I ran my fingers through my hair In frustration before tying it into a bun.

I sat there quietly for a moment. staring at the card again, my brain had a hard time

dropping it. It kept replaying Martha word's again and again.

This is just so damn tempting… I thought to myself.

I sighed, and leaned back, crossing my arms just under my chest. I was sitting right here all alone deep in thought as I seemed out of place.

I either passed out or fell asleep right there on the couch yet at the same time I didn’t sleep as soundly as I wanted to.

I tossed and turned throughout my short slumber. Mostly, all I dreamt about was that accident scene again that surreal night. I dreamed about Santiago—This time we were walking hands and hands together in a garden full of flowers.

I dreamed of us sharing a very long kiss, I opened my eyes and, as my eyes adjusted around the room I wondered how long I had been sleeping for, I could finally see around the dim room and pulled out my phone to check the time .

In a way I could feel my body still painfully sore from what could easily be one of the craziest dreams I've had In a while.

It was past one, I could feel my legs still wobbly as I walked over to the bathroom

for a long shower.

Without looking at in the mirror, I knew how devastated I was, I let the warm water

blast me, as I got out of the shower and was drying off when I heard my phone ringing.

I went into my bedroom and looked at my cell phone. I had a missed a call from Ann,

so I called it back.

“Hello,” Her voice said from the other end.

“Yeah, I am right here. " I answered, rolling my eyes.

"What’s going on?” she asked.

“I need to talk to somebody and...I don’t know… I am just feeling so frustrated. "

"Should I come over? " She asked.

" Who would cover for you? "

"Well boss gave me the day off, talking about boss he asked to speak with you tomorrow."

"Really, hope —"

" Put your mind at rest, just speak with him and hear what he has to say. "

" Very well then I would. "

" Are you still sure, you don't want me coming over? "

" You have nothing to worry about. "

" Tomorrow then? " She asked

"Yeah, tomorrow. " I replied.

I slowly got dressed and walked into the bedroom door after dropping the phone.

The whole scene was surreal

and bizarre, at the back of my mind and at the moment now I was a part of it.

I felt the need for fresh air. With my legs better I headed out the front door.

I stood on the veranda and took in a lot of fresh air, it helped in clearing my head.

All I wanted was to have a sane mind, with the lot I was having in it, I figured what would be best for me would be to step back from all of this.

Still standing there and wondering what the best was for me to do at that minute, I thought to myself that there were certain necessities I had to deal with before I could make out anything from the entire situation.

I continued to stare at the distance, as I walked with my arm out as though I wanted to feel the air.

It felt warm —The feel of the air on my face I took in the whole night. There were a couple of amazing things about today after all.

I once again reflected on his face, the fact that I had to spend the day with him was in a way soothing.

The interesting part about everything was that he and I had very little time

alone. We might not have had the time to reflect on things like I should but still I totally didn’t care. At least that moment it had looked like he was an extension of me, I had never felt this way about anyone .

With a deep sigh I looked longingly at the sky in deep thoughts.

"Give him back to me." I muttered to the thin wind.
