"What do we have here?... Filet mignon, Tomahawk steak, some wine and what is this?", I asked her while pointing to a dish which she has ordered for us.
"It's crab cake. My favourite. Try it and you'll love it."
"Okay."
I took a bite from the crab cake using mayonnaise as a dip.
"Wow! It's good."
Then I tried the Tomahawk steak, "This steak tastes delicious too. I wonder how you find all these good restaurants around here."
"My brother is the one who brought me here in the first place. He said he liked it when he came along with his friends. So he took me here."
"Then I should thank your brother instead of you."
"But I'm the one who took you here. Not him.", She resumed eating after saying that.
I smiled telling, "Okay. Let's hear your Office Romance as you promised. It's been weeks since I heard yours and you haven't said anything after meeting him

Nick's pov; I can't believe she bought Skillet band tickets to console me. Skillet is an American Christian rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1996. The band currently consists of husband John Cooper and wife Korey Cooper along with Jen Ledger and Seth Morrison. The band has released ten albums, two of which, Collide and Comatose, received Grammy nominations. It's hard to get tickets but she still managed to get them for me. I wonder why she's trying this hard to console me. I was so eager to hear her story before but after what happened these days I don't want to know how she proposed to him and stuff like that. But I still want to know how they broke up! "Hey, Nick! What are you thinking about?"Carol asked me. "Nothing. Why did you call me out here?" "If it's Elena, you wouldn't have asked q

I bolted out to her."You said you aren't dating her then what's with all the pictures about?"She asked while chuckling on the other side."What pictures?" I asked her in confusion."Hahaha.

I teased her back.She stared at me."You don't have any fruits in here to make fresh juice. I wonder how you spend all your money. You don't have vegetables or fruits to eat at home. You don't have instant foods either. You don't wear expensive clothes. You don't wear heels. You don't put on a lot of makeup. You don't hangout daily.

I'll call you back later."I ended the call with Nick and asked the doctor who was talking to the nurse while she was applying an ice pack on my hand,"How's my hand, doctor?""Looking good. It seems like you still need to wear this splint for another week. Did you put pressure on your hand?"I shook my head and said, "I fell on it without knowing.""I said to be careful. There's inflammation on your hand so you have to wear a splint to avoid further accidents.""Actually, I got a flight to catch now. Is it okay to travel with this hand?"He gave me a stare and said, "Yeah, you can but be careful. And… don't fall. If you are about to fall, then do it on your right side." And left the room.I asked the nurse,

Elena's pov;"When will the cast be removed, Doctor?" I asked the doctor curiously."When do you want to remove the cast?""What about... Today?"He gave me a stare and said, "If you want to get cured quickly then you have to wear this. Did you forget when I said that? Actually, I wonder whenever you ask this. You haven't asked about your recovery time even once instead you're so concentrated on removing your cast. Answer me, what are you going to do after I remove the cast?... or are you worried that you couldn't use your phone since you got hurt in your right hand?"I looked at him when he raised that question to me."So that's the reason behind it. Phone has become the most important thing for this generation."Matt walked in while the doctor was talking to me. He walked to where he was sleeping and took something and

Elena's pov;Someone knocked on the door continuously which woke me up from my sleep. I took my phone and looked at the time. It's 10 already. Did I sleep that long? I turned to my right side and found an empty bed. Where's Matt? I think he's the one who's knocking."Come in!"The door opened."Why are you knocking on the door? Why don't you just come in?"My eyes almost popped out when the person walked into the room."Nick?"How did he come here? How did he know that I'm here? He didn't have any expressions on his face which made me puzzled to find what's going on in his mind. He walked to me where I was lying on the bed. As he was approaching, I tried to get up from the bed.Nick ran to me and stopped me from getting up and made me lie down on the bed again. I remained silent since I don't k

Elena's pov;Five days have passed with a routine of taking a lot of tablets at every meal of the day with the doctor checking up in the morning following the ice pack massage for my hand at night before going to sleep. Finally, they changed my bandage around my head so I got a new one today. I walked around my room with my right hand tied around my neck with a strap. It felt different in the beginning keeping my hand still but I got used to it as days went by but at the same time I wanted it to recover soon. After the nurse was done with the bandage, Matt asked me, "Are you ready?"I nodded with a bright smile. It's been days since I got to see the outside world. Hahaha."Take care, Elena." The nurse said with a smile on her face while leaving the room.After she left, I walked along with Matt out of the room. He walked beside me to make sure that I didn't get hit by someone or something.

Elena's pov; I couldn't open my eyes since it felt heavy but I was able to smell it... It was something different when I sniffed. It felt like... medicine, antiseptic and soaps? Where am I? I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't, so I tried opening it slowly and opened in the end. When I opened my eyes, it hurt because of the bright light. I blinked again and again and got adapted to the light and I could see where I am properly now. There was a white ceiling above me and I came to know that I was lying on a bed. I tried to move my head to either side to look where I was. The setup, it looked like… A hospital? Why am I in the hospital? When I tried to remember what happened... Last night… I was going with Matt… The accident!!! "MATTT!!" , I shouted out of my lungs. I tried to get up from the bed but before doing that someone ran into the room and stopped me by saying, "You shouldn't do that mam, lie down on the bed, please."
