DAVE'S POV
I took out my phone from my pocket and searched for Emily's contact, my fingers hesitating to dial her number.
I decided against it because I was in a bad mood, calling her with this mood if mine can make her sad again.
Instead i dialed Kenny's number.
It has become a habit that I can't stop, I know that I shouldn't do this, it wasn't right but it's because it wasn't right that made it more thrilling. It's like finding solace, I didn't want to let go, I didn't even realize that I was begining to get attracted to kenny!
I needed to unleash my anger so I don't burn out.
"Hey….can we have some alone time today…..dear kenny"
" Yes I was begining to think that you have abandoned me or you didn't want to continue what we do" she teased me.
I chuckled " I was just too occupied with alot of things but…..I'm not too busy to have you in my bed, moaning my name, you have missed me right?"
"Sometimes I do, I don't want to lie…you got me this time" she answered while laughing heartily.
"Okay see you by 9pm then,at our usual place" I said before hanging up, a smile cripping up my lips.
" She got me real good this time" i muttered to my self while flashing a charming smile.
EMILY'S POV
It's been four days since Dave called me, at first I was excited but then again he hasn't called or even messaged me again since the day he called asking us to try to save our relationship.
I keep struggling to accept the reality of the situation, my love for him has clouded my sense of reasoning.
I keep making excuses for him, maybe he is busy trying to get a promotion just so he can take care of the new family we are going to start but my hope keep drifting away little by little but I still don't want to give up yet, I am not even sure if I can give him up in this life time…i feel lost without him beside me.
I focused all my attention into my work, writing, taking on contest content writing for articles, I won some, others are new learns to upgrade on oneself.
It was refreshing, a breath of fresh air and a perfect escape from reality problems.
Some days later, after leaving a message for Dave that he always ignore but I continue to text him anyway, I decided to go to the hospital for check up on my pregnancy.
Coming out of the doctor's office with the result in my hands, everything was going smoothly and I was going to be two months pregnant in a few days, but the doctor advised me to be extra careful with my emotions.
That was one thing that has always been hard for me to control.
The doctor said it can induce a miscarriage.
I took a deep breath to calm my raging nerves and walked down the hall way only to bump into my high school crush.
It has been a while since I saw him last, it was at the bar the other time.
They stood staring at each other with surprise clearly written in thier expression.
"Emily...it's been awhile, didn't expect to find you here. How have you been…you look even more beautiful than the other day" Leo said with a smile evident in his handsome face.
I blushed, a little flustered " I have been fine, it's been awhile, you don't look bad yourself"
Honestly speaking, Leo is as handsome and even more good looking than Dave but I was already a love slave to Dave, it's ridicules…I know.
"What are you here for? Are you sick or something?" He asked me
"Well I came to see a distant relative that is sick" I lied
The last thing I want is letting Leo know about my pregnancy, our relationship might become a little more restrained and that is something I don't want to happen.
"Oh okay….I hope the relative is getting a lot better" he replied with relief
"What are you here for…is it to see a relative or something else?" I asked curious about why he also came to the hospital.
" Well…I have been transfered here, just came here to complete the necessary transfer issues, I will be starting on Monday" he said looking smug
I was stunned…
Leo is a doctor?
So he really followed my advice years back? Or was I thinking too much that I was important to him.
Then he wasnt really interested in continuing his education, he just wanted to take over his father's five star hotel industry but he was so intelligent and it would be a waste of he didn't continue to go to school.
So I adviced him jokingly, daring him that if he decides to be doctor that I will marry him.
My face couldnt help but turn terribly red…
Was he still so serious about my dare?
I looked up at him trying to hide my already flushed and blushing face" you are a doctor Leo?...well that's….that's really surprising and amazing" i managed to say a few words still shocked by his words.
That was unexpected…
Leo is really a doctor!
Leo looked at me still with the smug expression " Yes I'm….so tell me, how about our little bet? Hope you haven't forgotten it yet"
I blinked, my heart seemed to miss a beat by the next words he uttered.
" Can we start the courtship phase?" He looked at me with longing. As if he has been he has been waiting for years and he really was!
" Leo….I didnt really mean it then, I just wanted to motivate you then and I'm very happy that it worked…but talking about a relatiknship now isnt the right time, i have some one now"
i said trying not to make the situation look more akward than it has already been.
" Well the last time I saw you, your eyes said things your heart didn't want to say out loud" " I will always be here waiting for you, you don't have to tell me what is happening, I won't be able to do anything else except stealing you away" he said with a pained expression.
I was speechless…
"Um….okay, thank you but I really have to go now…see you some othee time" i said before hurriedly fleeing from the hospital hallway.
My heart was beating too fast…it was all unexpected, well I know we liked each other but I didnt expect it to be this strong from him.
So there were still people that loved me this much, my heart was a little more warm.
I took a cab back home to continue my writings….
