"Sir, there is a lady wanting to see you and she said it's urgent."
"Ok Patricia let her in."
"Ok sir," she went and few seconds later, the lady walked in, She wore the uncommon dress, her face beautiful but without make up, big eyes like the eyes I used to see then the ascent painted the picture as she said my name, "James!"
"Charity is this you?"
"Yes, have I changed that much?"
"No, Never mind anyway, Why didn't you call?"
"Wanted to surprise you, but I really called you and you were sick, I talked to your friend Alex who agreed to come pick me to surprise you, but I will need you to drive me to my mother's house."
"Oh, that explains his silly excuse in the morning, so where is he?"
"He said there are few transactions awaiting him in town."
"Oh I see, I made the calls I thought he even forgot."
"No, anyway we have to get going."
"But there are a few things I want to put together just a few minutes."
"James, you the boss, your secretary is bored."
"Oh, yes I get your point!" after giving instructions to Patricia, I drove Charity to her parents' house.
(ANASTASIA Narrates)
It was hell the week as I returned to work after all that happened, The news about my accident was everywhere, but before then, the day I returned I found my house in a mess, I knew my boyfriend did it, the worst happened when he showed up in the evening, he wanted to beat me but I quickly fled to the police station who advised me to get him arrested.
Which I did and later I was told he will be out after four days.
Back to work, my work mates started asking questions what happened, so I called them all at lunch time because I knew how stressing they can be when they want something from someone,
"So here guys, you know David and I are not doing so well, so I went to see my sister but in the way, it was raining heavily that I failed to control my steering wheel after a bright lightning strike, I don't remember what happened but next I was only told that I had crushed into a roadside tree and was saved by a certain guy when everybody was watching through their windows..."
"So is this guy who saved you married?" one of them interrupted me
"Well, no but that is supposed to be that last question about him okay" I replied but that came out like I just told them to ask more, my friend Shirah walked in and shouted, "Can you all shut up, and you Anastasia can I have a word with you?"
"Yes sure" I said as we walked towards the nurse on duty's office and shut the door behind us.
"You my friend are in trouble, I overheard your story, but how come you didn't bother to tell more about this guy, is there any call you got from me found you with him?"
"Twice, but you know me, and don't worry I will be going there more often and I might need some escort, he lives next to my sister, and hey."
"Hey, what?"
"Just pray his boss' daughter is not beautiful because she is kind of the most leading caller since his ex,"
"She maybe calling but I just have to make his line busy too then"
"If I were you I wouldn't think of that, make it happen live."
"What's your point Anastasia?"
"My point is, just relax, this guy loves his long gone ex, so it is impossible to get into another relationship anytime soon."
"She died?"
"No, she dumped him"
"Is he broke or ugly?"
"My friend this guy is settled, if he wants to marry today everything is set, he is just too nice for bad girls understand."
"Oh I get it, but what of you, you need to forget about David, that guy is an animal, yes if I may ask, when was the last time did he show that care, no other guy would come close to you because you tolerate David too much"
"At least James showed the care and once again, I was cared for."
"Hope it is not what I am thinking?"
"Come on I'm just pulling your legs love."
"Silly, by the way, any photos of James?"
"Shirah you are impossible, of course a lot, check for yourself" I said while handing my phone to her,
"Anastasia this one here you looked like a couple"
"Huh, I don't remember taking a pic of us; I mean me and him, how come?"
"No, someone else did, and it seems like you were in a deep conversation."
"Amanda, that girl is too sharp"
"And this one you were feeding him, girlfriend, and this guy is perfect, but that's too nice he needs adjustment."
"He was sick then" I said....
Shirah kept viewing the photos until we got an emergence patient, it was then when time flew until it was time to knock off.
I walked to my house, took a bath and lonely started eating me up, I couldn't think of anything else but calling James,
"Hey James" I said immediately he picked up.
"Hey, look who it is if it's not Anastasia, how are you dear?"
"Am ok, just tired from work."
"Equally but why don't you take a bath?"
"Danzo, (done so) have you?"
"That is when I'm driving home; can I call you back after?"
"Just don't keep me waiting."
"I wouldn't do that in a million years"
"Ok, don't cause an accident I owe you a save so wait till am available hahaha."
"Crazy you, don't worry."
"If you say so, later then."
"Later!"
After cutting the call, I cuddled my pillow feeling happy but I couldn't understand why. I took my phone and went through the photos of James and Amanda.
"Wait a minute, Amanda reacts in a funny way, could she be in love with James too, but hey what am I thinking about?" I spoke to myself.
An hour later, James called,
"Hey doc, sorry there was traffic, and I had to bath first"
"It's ok, just glad you called back."
"Sure, now guess what?"
"Just tell me,"
"First, I found Amanda cooking a delicious meal and she said you tought her how to prepare it."
"What is she cooking?"
"She said it's a surprise."
"Oh I guess, I won't tell you either because I know what she is exactly cooking, I got those myself when I noticed that you are lazy to fill up you fridge."
"Huh, what did you just say?"
"Call the customer care for repeat because am saving your airtime for the second news"
"Oh yes, uh, remember the boss' daughter I told you about?"
"Yes, what happened?"
"She has returned and she doesn't want to be the company CEO."
