'H..He..Hey..!!'.
His lips were few inches away from mine then my feet got stuck in something and I fell over the couch. He hovered over me. That shirt I was wearing rolled up to my waist revealing my red panties and my bare waist.
He bent over my body. I closed my eyes in embarrassment and hands covering my chest and closed my eyes . I slowly opened my eyes and saw that he grabbed his phone which he placed it on couch, he took it and stood up.
Looking at my flushed face he said, 'what?'. Hr grinned at me.
'Go get something to wear, don't run in your boxers'.
'And I thought you were staring at me because I look like a whole platter uhhh! So sad!!'
'Stop teasing me okay'. He smiled at me and looked at his phone, he dialed someone's number.
'Hello, Jonathan send a suite piece at the address I'm sending you.'
'Hey you going shower first or I can go?'
'You go first', he said while looking at his phone.
I went to shower. I put off my clothes and turned on the shower so many things were hovering in my head. New concepts, plots, storyline, publishing all that and most importantly my past . I don't know why I'm not able to forget it.
'Why it haunts me till now, I just wanna get rid of it.' I was holding back my tears from falling down, I promised myself that I won't cry but look at me still crying after 2 years. I sat down on the bathroom floor hugging my legs to my chest, I wasn't anything but a looser. I stood up. Suddenly I noticed a droplet of blood on the floor. I thought that I got my periods but no its was falling from my nose. It was too much blood, my head was spinning I was losing my energy to standing still I fell on the ground. I could hear him calling me from outside.
' Hey are what are you doing in there so long come out, from there, I need to shower too.'
I tried to call him but I couldn't, I was able to hear but I couldn't call him. I was hearing him calling me by my name.
'Alyssa! Alyssa! Come out.' I lost every single bit of energy of my body, his voice was fading, I couldn't keep my eyes open I closed my eyes.
I opened my and saw that I was lying on hospital bed. I groaned. Jayden was talking to someone on his phone, he looked at me as I groaned. He hung up on his phone and took fast steps towards me. He sat on the stool beside my bed.
'You scared the shit out of me! I calling you from outside for minutes you didn't response. Then I broke the door and went in and saw your motionless body and bleeding nose my god!'. He caressed my head. ' I didn't know what to do, I took you to the nearest hospital'. He sighed.
I looked him in the eyes, I behaved so bad with him and he is still taking care of me.
'Doctor said you'll be released tomorrow if everything stays normal and your reports come clean. They said this happened because your body lacks sleep and you are stressed. Don't take stress this much.'
'Why you care so much about me? Yesterday and today! I behaved so rudely with you but you still did so much for me. Why?, I asked in my frail voice.
'What 'why?' it's just that I need you for my film'.
'Okay I give you my written consent that you can make a film on my novel as reimburse but I'll cast actors and I'll chose set decorations. It's my condition.'
His face lit up. 'Okay then I'll make the agreement papers and send it to you'. He said with a big smile.
'Oh and one more thing, I'll be present at set everyday and in auditions too. It was a thank you to you, you did so much for me today'.
"We were strangers before now we are partners so thank you!"
I smiled at him.
'We will start after you get healthy, I'll get going now see you tomorrow.'
I felt at ease after a while at both, my mind, and in my heart.
'I'll move on now', I determined myself. I fell asleep.
Next day my reports came clean and the doctor gave me permission to leave. I was changing my hospital clothes then when he barged in. We exchanged an awkward look, he was flustered.
'Get out!!!!!!' I screamed.
'I'm sorry Alyssa!'
I changed and came out. He was waiting outside.
'You should knock when you barge in someone's room and you didn't have to pick me up you know, I can go by myself.'
'I can do whatever I want to do and on the other hand you are so weak , cockroaches have more strong arms than you geez!!'
I shrugged and said , 'I can't believe you, are you calling me a cockroach?'
'No I'm not, cause that would be an insult to all cockroaches.'
He puts his shades on, takes my bag and went outside. I was fuming in rage. I couldn't let him have the last word, I followed him outside. He put my in the backseat and hinted me to hop on the front seat beside the driver's seat. I stomped down and sat in there.
'Let's go'.
'Ass wipe', I mouthed.
'Why are you sulking?'
'Why do you care? Drive carefully'.
' Don't nag like my mother'.
'I'm nagging because I don't even know how you drive that's why.'
'I'm a good driver and I won't put you in a risk'.
I stared at him thinking why he cares for me this much. I didn't notice when he stopped the car, I came to my senses when he called me by my name.
'We reached at your home safely , I told you Jayden Grayson is best at everything', he winked at me. I felt my cheeks were burning up so I hurriedly turned my face towards the car door and exited his car.
'Do you wanna come inside and have some coffee?', I asked.
'Inviting me to a coffee date?'
'See if you wanna come then come don't make other predictions'.
'You go inside , I'm coming in 5 minutes', he smiled.
I turned on my heels and went inside. Mrs. Guerra was waiting for me, as soon as she saw me she came running and hugged me.
'Oh my god Lisa I was so worried about you,' she left me from her embrace and said, 'I know what the doctor said that you were stressed and didn't take care of yourself and lately you were not eating very well, from today you have to eat your every meal and have to take your medications punctually. It was my fault that I couldn't take care of you', she sniffled.
'Oh no no! Mrs. Guerra you took care of me very well, I neglected my health.'
'Oh dear your father left me to take care of you and couldn't even do that job ', she was sobbing and sniffling.
'Dadda will be proud of Mrs. Guerra you did your job very neatly', I assured her.
'Come dear I'll take you to the sitting room'.
She held my hand and took me to the living room. I sat on the sofa , recalling my memories with father , mom. I lost warmth of my mom when I was 3, and I lost my dada when I was in high school. After that I was almost alone with Mrs. Guerra and my only escape was my best friend Anna, I was thinking of Anna when my phone rang up. I picked it up from the table and it was from Adriana.
