I counted thirteen police cars as they swooshed right past me. They were fast and their sirens were blaring loudly.
Others cars drove to the side to accommodate more space for them. The sight of the police driving madly as if they were in a hot pursuit made me realise that I needed to get back to the house.. I was in a strange city, I didn’t have my phone with me and people around here hardly spoke any English.
I finished the cookie in my hand and carried the brown bag in my hand, it wouldn’t fit in my pockets, I’ve tried too many times. The cookies were magnificent, they were perfect.
When I took a bite and my teeth crunched it, my tongue would have an orgasm. I moaned as I swallowed and I cleaned my lips with the back of my hand.
I didn’t know where I was, but o turned back to the direction of where I came from and hoped to find Christian’s house. It wouldn’t be hard right?
It was located in the pristine and elite area, on the hills, away from everyone else that didn’t earn millions a year.
Two laughing children ran past me, I wondered what they were doing outside at this time of the night. The thought led me to wonder if I would let my kids outside during the dark.
Probably not!
I wouldn’t want to be an overprotective mother but having a mum that barely looked at me twice while I was growing up, I would make it a mandate to take good care of my kids.
To love them, to protect them and to cherish them.
Never let harm befall them.
As I thought about all these things, my mind wandered to Christian, those were exactly the same words he told me, that was how he felt about me, true love.
Was I a wayward fiancee?
Having a mother that didn’t show me affection really broke me in many ways that I didn’t even know, one was not recognise the effort my loved ones made, because I grew up to believe there was done.
Cool wind blew past me and I shuddered a biker waved at me and wheezed by without stopping. The city was beautiful.
“He miss” someone’s voice sounded from afar.
I didn’t know the man was talking to me, so I kept on walking. The voice followed me and the man dan over.
“Oh my god, thank God, I have been looking for someone who speaks English…” He said, he was panting.
“I’m a tourist, I came here with my friends but I’m lot’s” he told me.
He wore a shirt that said I love Budapest.
“I don’t even know if I’m headed in the right direction. If you’re looking for helps to get back to your hotel, I can’t..” I had to stop talking because the sharp pain in my abdomen forced me to.
“Are you okay?” He asked me.
I wasn’t.
I tried to stand still but what was happening felt like a cramp, a very bad one.
“Are you okay?”
I looked up at him and nodded my head
“I’m fine” I muttered, nausea hit me and I ran to the side of the road, I threw up everything I had eaten.
I stood straight when I was done, I willed myself to take one more step but it was impossible. I felt a kind of liquid between my legs.
“I have got to find a hospital” was the last thing I heard.
****
The doctor called me and told me that Marcellino was sleeping. He asked me if I wanted to see him, I didn’t.
“No, when will he wake up?”
“We gave him some anastatic. He would wake up when he was ready. He was badly injured in his jaw, we fixed some bone damage, the tissue damages would heal properly over the next few weeks. If you need me to refer to a good dentist, I can”
He stretched out a card.
I took it and he left.
I read the card, it was the business card of a dentist.
Marcellino need tooth card of a dentist.
Marcellino would need tooth replacement, maybe next time he would watch his tongue.
The hallway was noisy, I walked to the end and looked out of the window. From here I could see people coming in and out of the hospital.
The door to Marcellino’s room opened and a female nurse walked inside. I trailed after her. When she got to his bed, she wrote something down in her clipboard, she was still scribbling when her head turned in my direction.
She dropped the clipboard to the floor, bent down to pick it up and she shifted nervously from one foot to the other. A blush strained her cheeks and she was staring at me as if she was seeing an angel.
“Are you done yet?” I asked her.
She raised her eyebrows, I moved away to the door and gestured to it.
She nodded in understanding and ran out of the room. I walked to the side of the bed and watched Marcellino, now that he knows I wanted to marry Jenna, would he change his mind about divorcing Elisa?
I needed to plan something. I couldn’t wait till January. The thought of hiding my child was killing me. I didn’t want to hide the relationship but it was understandable, now I’m supposed to be hiding my baby?
The room was not so big, despite the largeness of the hospital. There must be hundreds of rooms in the building.
I hated small spaces, I couldn’t survive in a room this small. I need fresh air.
I walked to the window, paint had sealed it shut. I held the base and pulled it up till it finally obeyed and sprang to the top with force.
I looked down, it was dark but I couldn’t take my eyes off a particular figure. I stared and stared, I could hardly make out anything. A man was carrying a woman, nurses rushed to get them, they moved to blind spot and they were gone.
