Here comes Ashley and Chris. I am really happy for her. She looks so in love with this guy. This guy better not break her heart or I'll break his bones. After I lost my family, Ashley is the only one I have and I can't see her sad. Harry takes the food to the table and Ashley screams "wow.... pizza!"
" Hey girl, calm down... it's just Pizza" Harry says.
" Yes. but after a great swimming with a great guy, this pizza will taste even better" she winks at Chris. Both of them go to change while Harry and I sit beside each other on the dining table.
" The food smells really good"
I complement. He serves me and smirks and I am sure his thinking something naughty.
" You too smell great"
I knew it. Harry's always in a flirt mode.
Ashley comes out and sits. Chris comes and sits beside her.
We start to eat. I must say, this is the most delicious Pizza I ever ate.
" Yummy.... this is so delicious" Ashley says with a mouthful of Pizza.
" Thanks" Harry chuckles.
I feel a leg touching mine which makes me cough. Harry smiles slightly looking at the food. I don't move my leg. He again touches my like with his toe and this time starts bring it upwards and then takes it back downwards. I move my leg away and Harry chuckles.
After having the tasty meal we all decide to head towards home. Ashley and I drive by my car and Harry went with Chris. I drop Ashley at her place and head to mine.
It was long day. I really need to get sleep. my bed is calling me. I reached home and fall on my bed and sleep.
" Doctor what happened to her? Is she okay?" I am crying really hard. "
" We are trying our best. Please stay calm" replies the doctor .
I am crying so hard that I can barely breathe. The doctor comes out,
" She's in coma and we can't assume how many days will it take to get her back to normal"
" Thankyou doctor. Can I see her?"
I say putting myself together. The doctor nods and I rush to her. I hold her hand and after about 10 minutes a sound comes from the machine. I call the doctor.
The doctor comes out and says, " She is out of coma, it's a miracle"
I rush to see her and ask " How did this happen?" . She explains me everything and suddenly "Noooo!!"
I am sweating badly and I am very scared. This nightmare again! I start crying and call Ashley,
"Ashley, sorry to disturb but I really need someone to talk to" my voice is cracking.
" Hey calm down. I am there for you. Did you have that nightmare again?"
" Yes" this is all I can say for now.
" Alexis lay down. We'll talk until you fall asleep" She started singing the song my mum used to sing to us when we were kids. Whenever we used to have a girls night together at my place which included only Ashley and me, we won't sleep till very late and then she sang us this song which made us fall asleep. She is my best friend for a reason. I am so lucky to have her with me. I listen to the song and feel good.
I wake up and call Ashley to thank her, " Thanks Ashley".
" Hey that's what best friends are for, and it didn't take too long for you to fall asleep" she says.
" I had a great sleep after that".
After hanging up I prepare myself some coffee and toast. I don't feel like going to office today. Sometimes, I wish I could go to some place where I'd be alone and could enjoy the nature. The soothing air which fills peace within, the sunset which sets of all pain with it. But this isn't what I can do.
Sometimes, needs do not permit you to fulfill your desires, and desires make it harder to accomplish your goals and fulfill the needs.
I make my mind to go to the office and make no contact with Harry. I need a day off from him. As I enter the office I see Harry flirting with the attendant. This guy is such a jerk. 'So you are jealous?' my sarcastic self says. 'No, why would I be jealous'. I am talking to myself again! Why can't I be normal after seeing this guy. He looks at me and gets away from the attendant. He is about to say something but I ignore him. I past aside him without even bothering to listen what he had to say.
Today's day is going well, no Harry, no drama. In an hour, it will be time to go back home and then I can go to my favourite ice cream parlour and can..." Hi beautiful" I get interrupted by Harry.
How can my day go normal when Harry and I are working in the same office, someone please take him away.
" What is it Harry?" I ask without even looking at him.
" Nothing... actually... it wasn't like what it seems. I wasn't flirting with her". Why is he even explaining it to me.
" You don't have to explain it to me Harry" I pretend to be busy expecting that he'd go away but instead he snatches the file from my hand and puts it on the table.
"Why don't I need to explain it to you?"
" Because I don't care!"
Calm down Alexis.. you don't have to shout at him. He's behaving in expected way. Don't ruin everything now.
" I am sorry Harry... I am just not feeling well".
"Uh... ok... sorry" He is hurt by my response." By the way what happened?"
" I don't know. Just not feeling well."
" Maybe I can make you feel good" he has that playful smirk on his face.
" Gross... shut up Harry!" I get that cringe on my face.
" What! I am just talking about going on a drive and then having ice cream. You dirty minded woman!" he laughs.
"Oh.." this is embarrassing.
" So, are you in?"
" OK" I respond.
I packup and then we get into our cars. We drive to my place, park the car and I get into his car.
" Don't you listen to 'the chainsmokers'?" I ask.
" No" he plainly answers.
I look outside the window, it's a great view. I don't know where we are going but I feel really good. The view is breathtaking. I enjoy the wind. The cold wind makes me forget everything.
