By Amah’s Heart.
“Are you alright?
He asked me for the third time just as we were about to get down.
I told him that I was alright is just a slight headache.
I suddenly developed headache after Erin threatened to tell Mr Desmond about Nick and the headache increased when I realized that Mr Desmond was coming to the fancy restaurant where Nick works.
Nick was on duty today and I can’t afford being seen with Desmond.
He parked and placed a hand on my forehead trying to check my body temperature.
“I hope you are not coming down with fever? After we’re done eating we will visit Doc.
I asked him if I can stay in the car while he goes to eat.
He looked at me and said maybe instead of eating we should held to the doctor’s place.
I know deep within what exactly was my problem and is definitely not what the doctor can solve.
I silently hope that Nick will be either inside or allocated to another section.
He won’t get to see us.
I told Mr Desmond let’s go and eat, I will be fine.
We entered and I was happy when another waiter ushered us to a table and took our orders.
We sat close to the window and I can see what was going on outside but my attention was more of inside, I put my face down just to avoid being seen by Nick.
As I turned my face to the window, something caught my eyes and it was Nick with the same Lady.
She was angry over something and venting it all out to Nick who was also angry.
They were standing at the car park area and arguing.
Nick brought out money and began to count it, the lady grabbed the whole money violently and put inside her bag.
She said something like a curse and walked away.
Nick said something right back at her before coming inside.
I quickly looked away and caught Desmond staring at me.
“What is the problem Kay… you look restless. Does it have anything to do with prince charming, your childhood crush…
He asked me while taking food to his mouth.
“No… no. Nick is just a friend and nothing more.
I tried to concentrate on the food but I don’t have an appetite anymore.
I wondered what Nick was arguing with that lady.
How I’m I going to handle Erin.
How do I tell Mr Desmond the truth without hurting him.
Many things filled my mind as I took a slow bite from the food just to convince a worried Mr Desmond that I was alright.
He wasn’t looking convinced.
He took my hands into his and bent over towards me.
“You know I love it when you talk to me about your worries. Kay… I love you… and I believed you loved me too but you are hiding something which is obviously bothering you. You are gradually becoming part of me and i can tell when something is troubling you… please talk to me honey. What is it…
I breathed deeply and decided to spill it all out.
Is better I say it rather than for him to find out or hear it from someone else he will be disappointed in me and may not trust me again.
“Okay… I have something I want to tell you. I’m sorry that I took me this long to say it… please don’t be mad at me. Is… is… I mean there’s another gu…. yy….
As I was about to say the last word, Nick appeared from nowhere.
He greeted Mr Desmond warmly and gave me those sweet smile of his that doesn’t move me anymore.
He asked if we were okay and Mr Desmond replied cheerfully that we’re fine.
He left without any suspecious look.
