Someone touched her, it was the hand of the driver.
He was dead but his lifeless eyes seemed to stare at her with anger. Why had she survived but he didn't was it his fault for giving her a ride. His voice shouted in her head. She coveRed heR ears with her hands but then realized they were stained with blood.
"Blood!...." she shouted moving back. But it was flowing from her body. A lot of blood was coming from her abdomen which was injured.
she screamed but then heard voices whispering, "Save her please " they cried.
"And the baby?" another voice asked.
"We don't need it" a female voice answered.
"What baby " Camilla cried but then the voices were cut off by another warm voice.
"Camilla, Camilla, wake up it's only a dream," it said.
She closed her eyes and concentrated on the voice. It was Chris, she smiled and ran to where the voice was calling .
Chris had woken to Camilla crying and screaming. He held her calling her name but she kept mumbling something.
He kept calling her name until she opened her eyes.
"Hi," he said gazing into her eyes.
"Hi" she answered weakly.
"Bad dream?"
She nodded as her tears flowed again.
"Shh, don't cry am here " his warm voice calmed her down.
She held onto him tightly trying to erase the bloody images from her mind.
His hands smoothly moved through her hair, "Dont thinks about it anymore, just go back to sleep " he said.
She stopped crying and listened to his voice.
"Sleeping?" he asked after a few minutes.
"No, can't sleep anymore," she said.
"Let's go for a walk then " he suggested.
Chris wrapped Camilla in his jacket that was oversize on her body and then lead her out to the beach.
Holding her hand they walked in silence. The strong waves made calming sounds which lightened up her mood.
Chris's hand in hers and his scent from his jacket around her body cleared up her mind.
"Chris " she called his name.
He stopped meeting her eyes, "Yes, Milla "
"Am hungry " she said.
He laughed, " Feeling better I guess "
She nodded.
"Okay, let's go see what we can make for you," he said walking again.
But she wasn't moving and instead tugged on his shirt.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
"My feet hurt from all the walking, please carry me back," she said.
She saw him smile and then turn his back to her.
"Okay, get on," he said.
She jumped on his back happily and he walked home.
Chris made Camilla something light to eat and then went back to bed. She was back to sleep after getting warm. But Chris didn't go back to sleep immediately, his mind still lingered on what had happened.
Camilla had mumbled something about a baby and a lot of blood, had she remembered something about that day.
Chris received a call from his assistant about a meeting he had to attend in person.
"Can't we have a zoom meeting?" he asked.
"Well Boss the client asks to see you in person or the contract is off" he was informed.
His eyes wandered to Camilla who was eating ice cream while talking to her staff on the phone, he smiled.
"I know why she wants to see me in person, so tell her I said no...and if she persists then the deal is off," he said then hung up.
He walked back to the balcony where Camilla was sunbathing and took his seat next to her again.
She said goodbye and hung up.
" I told you they would be fine without you," he said.
"And I said two days, but it's now the fifth day," she said taking in another spoon of ice cream.
"Can I have some ice cream?" he said watching her tongue lick it from the spoon.
She pointed back inside, "Go get yours, it's a few seconds to the fridge "
"But I want yours," he said.
Camilla avoided his puppy eyes and took another spoon into her mouth.
Chris being ignored got up and invaded Camilla's seat. He pulled the spoon away from her lips, "I said I wanted yours " he said then kissed her.
His tongue moved into her mouth tasting the chocolate flavour of the ice cream she was eating. The ice cream melted between their lips spreading its sweetness during the kiss.
Even after the ice cream had disappeared Chris didn't pull back, it was Camilla who pushed him away.
"At this rate, my lips might turn into your lunch for the day," she said.
He bent forward stealing another kiss, "I would love to but I don't think that would be enough for me " he said.
Camilla sneered watching him move his hand under her shorts. She slapped him.
"Don't even dare ".
Chris returned to his seat and continued watching her eat her ice cream.
"I can't even go out during the day cause I don't have anything decent to wear ". she murmured.
"We can go shopping if you want," he said.
"Since it's your fault for not telling me before to pack some clothes, I will take that as compensation " she nodded.
"Anything to make you happy," he said.
