"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
Sophia was not exactly bothered by Debby's news. However, she was greatly surprised. How possible was it that the man popped out from nowhere to ask her out to a dinner event?"Is there something you're not telling me, Debby?" She inquired.Her friend remained calm. "Uhm, apart from the fact that it's going to be a temporary one, nothing. I'm telling you everything.""Temporary one? Is it a contract or something?""Yeah, something. Something later that."Sophia couldn't believe her ears. Where was this boldness coming from?"Are you tryna take this relationship contract thing to the next level? You know, making it a side hustle or something?"Debby laughed lightly."Nah, I'm just living a little. And why, I learned from the best." She indicated her with her bespectacled face."Nah, not me."&
The first visible sign came.When she brushed her teeth in preparation for bed, Debby spat out sputum into the basin, the red of blood standing stark against the white foam of worked toothpaste.She rinsed her mouth immediately, her legs shaking. It was probably time for her, with this first indication, to see a doctor like she was advised.But she didn't want to. She didn't want to have the words thrown directly at her. She didn't want to come face to face with the fact that she was wasting away, even if her body wasn't quite showy of the ailment. Given, she had lost weight, so much that her tightest jeans could fit her properly again, and then, there are these bleeding gums but still.People would think it's simply mental stress.But then again, there is that too.As she plopped into her bedroom, managing only to reach the bed, her legs wobbling with
She proceeded into the building, not paying heed to the whisperings that surrounded her. Or the fingers pointing. Or the sneer she was looked at with.Of course, they'll refer to her as a golddigger.She took more deliberate steps towards the elevator. When she got there, she was trapped with four people, a male who seemed clueless and three women that looked at her like they each wanted to pluck out her eyes and some strands of her hair.She ignored them.On the sixth floor, she met with professor Tedd."Good morning sir.""I have surgery in 20 minutes. Do you want to scrub in?" The man replied, not regarding her message.He said it like a question. She could agree or say no. But she knew it was not entirely a question. neither is it a request? The man was asking her to join him."What's the procedure?"
Sebastian desired that she fed. He didn't know how and when but he felt something move inside him. He felt long-dead flowers bloom alive in his heart.All of the coldness he felt from working like a slave, from being a thug, and having a hard start on life dissolved.Okay, not quite there yet but Sebastian felt them dissolving, shrinking to become a spur of continuous warmth in his chest.Warmth and desire whenever he laid eyes on her.Maybe she was rubbing off on him. Staying around her, watching her for so long, maybe she had found her way around, crept into his mind, and created for herself a soft spot in it, making him identify her as a whole matter entirely.Sebastian knew she would be angry about drugging her. Hell, he was angry at himself too. So much so that after he called the police, he didn't leave the island.He was right there,
Sebastian thought that he had made a mistake.That was the first thing that came to his mind when he saw her.With all the anticipation he felt the night before, so much that he was hardened by his consuming thoughts, without even seeing her, dissolved into thin air.She looked too divine, too ethereal, too porcelain, like fine glassware, sure to put the goddess Venus to shame, even without the littlest of efforts.Sebastian suddenly was second-guessing about going to the party and if he should go with Deborah anymore. He was instantly filled with ideas of what to do with the time, instead of courtesy-going to a party that he didn't want to be at in the first place.She was without her glasses, wearing contacts to aid her sight instead and it made her elfin-shaped face in full view. Just like he had seen her at The wreakin' that night.Hell, he had made
