"What? Do you want to tell me if you remember anything that happened? Are you sure you're in the right headspace to talk right now? Remember, you can take all the time you need." Sophia said, switching her cup of tea to her right hand and reaching out for Debby's hand with the other.
It was warm and comforting to Debby, this singular gesture of Sophia's.
"I'm okay," Debby affirmed.
"I freaked out on that day. I called you over again. I kept calling you once Jake informed me that the police were at your place and the Gayville community hospital, asking for you. You weren't picking your calls up so I was hella worried."
"I understand now why you called me that much," Debby replied, with a small smile.
"Do you want to talk? If you do, then I suggest you want to replay everything and start from the beginning. From the night before your arrest."
"I was
It's been 4 days since Debby returned home and she's not heard from him.Not from Sebastian the regular human or Leo the thief.Both identities seemed to have just disappeared into thin air.She resumed work against great opposition from Sophia and Jake and at work, she kept on getting several glances, from people looking at her funny. These were mostly people who didn't have the boldness to walk up to her. Others simply, especially people she hadn't ever talked with, seized the opportunity to sympathize with her about what happened."I do not understand why you're here. You should be home, resting!" Doctor Brian said as he laid eyes upon her in the common room. "You are here, working like your job is more important than your life."Debby wasn't exactly bothered by all of their talks and actions. What bothered the most was how to start looking for her dad's paper.&n
Debbie looked at him. It was difficult to see Lucas in the same light especially as she got to know his true self from Sebastian.On one hand, he was her Boss, and then on the other, he was Sebastian's cousin. A light went off in her head when she remembered what Sebastian told her about him trying to hijack the hospital from him.A lot of things seemed different about him.Well, apart from the fact that he's a jerk. That one was an everlasting unchanging part of him. But she was still thinking of what to reply when she heard him say, "so, on that note, I have decided to suspend you. Until the investigations are done with."Debby's brows arched in shock."Excuse me, I didn't quite get that." Debby began, standing straight, her voice changing from easy to thick and serious. "What do you mean, suspend? Why should I be suspended? I was involved in a misunderstanding and life-t
It was hella difficult for Debby to move through the rest of her working day when something as huge as the weight of what she just learned sitting heavily on her shoulders.When she was done by evening, without even her usual gay goodbyes, and without even knowing how she packed her stuff into her bag, she went.She went home.And no, not Sophia's house. But the apartment she lived in with Jacob.Drawing closer to the building, after she finally arrived at Gayville, Debby was reminded of what Sebastian said concerning the ownership of the building.Just like that, she was a building owner? She was just minding her business and just like that, she's now a landlady of a two-story building situated on a promising land? She even wondered if he bought just the building or the building as well as the piece of land it was erected upon.Debby couldn't bring her
Debby spent her break the following day at work, after work, reading up on leukemia and its forms and causes.This bloody blood cancer.She went ahead to look at her family history. Someone in her family had blood cancer and of course, that someone was her dad. He was said to have died and she began to wonder if her dad had leukemia long before he gave birth to her.Because, if that was the case, then probably she must have inherited a faulty gene from him but then again, she wondered how long he's been with the faulty gene.That was the only explanation for this occurrence. She began to be curious about how her father could have gotten cancer in the first place.Debby looked up all forms of blood cancer. Yes, she was a doctor and should know already but the depth she went to with studying the illness, it could be understood that there was a hunger in her soul to find some sort o
"Excuse me, but that's none of your business young lady.""What do you mean by that, old man? I want to see very good things happen before I die. Plus, you get to enjoy sweet and delicious meals like this if you're married. I don't understand how you've not asked her on a date all these past years."But the man had ignored everything else she said, halting the gathering of the takeaways he was doing and looking at her square in the face, "are you dying, Debby?"She had gulped. "Uhm, No." She said, defensively. "Even though we all die a little every day." The man arched a brow as if to say she was spewing nonsense so she added, "Take what happened with my abduction for example. I could be long dead. It just comes suddenly. Do you know what they say about life coming at you suddenly? Yeah, the same thing applies to death.""I'll ask her to when the time is right." Was the next thing she heard the docto
After she latched the lock of the door, sure that the place was private enough for them to have their conversation, she turned to face him looking at her with a funny expression.Before she exploded, she shifted her gaze from him to look around once more, ensuring that no one was anywhere in the bathroom, behind a bunk, in the air, or something.Then she faced him after dropping her bag, and said, maintaining her stern voice, "what the fuck are you doing here?"He looked at her funny as if she asked a stupid question. "What do you mean what am I doing here? Hello, it's my hospital. I can come and go as I please.""Like I do not know that it's your fucking hospital. The question is, what are you doing here?""Babe, you shouldn't nag me when you've just seen me for the first time in days. I know you're mad but I'm here now. I am here to see you." He replied, that stupid smile
Her gasp made heat zap to his groins.Once upon a moment, hadn't he told Deborah that she has the decision to be with him as Sebastian or not?That she could decide to just be his partner in crime? Hadn't he shrugged and said that he just needed her to be there, by his side?Why then was he trying to make it be fixed, this decision?But again, he thought, that the choice was given to her to make. Never did he say he was not going to try to make her want him.He dipped the finger deeper into her chest as if trying to separate the mounds of flesh packed in there and held firmly by what he greatly suspected to be a ballet.She loved to use them and he had noticed.He made the finger move from one boob to the other."Aren't you just a pervert, a flirt, and a thief altogether?" Debby said, closing her eyes, her long lashes
Debby called Sophia.The very moment she stepped outside the hospital, after leaving Sebastian aroused and hard in the bunk room. For once, she felt powerful, and like with all forms of power, this one was consuming as well.She didn't want to let go. She reveled in the desire that she had for Sebastian, who was always in control of her.Now that she had a taste of what it felt to be like to be on top of the game, being in control, and making the moves, Debby wasn't willing to let it go.So, with a smile, she exited their little place of temporal intimacy and apology and made her way downstairs, amidst curious-filled eyes that followed her as she advanced towards the door.She ignored them. That was the best she could do. For now, at least. She hadn't gotten the hang of it but she was going to live life according to her terms now. With so little time to live, especially liv
