SAVE ME

Chapter 13

Morgan Smith

Today was really hectic but productive. I smile when I remembered the designs picked by Ann and her boss. I actually wasn't expecting to meet with him again when Ann invited me over and he was really impressed with the designs I brought.

I should probably take this interior design seriously as they all say to me.

I and Ann just came in and we are so tired, I am glad that we went over to 'Olah' to eat something because I sense that none of us has the strength to lift a finger to do anything.

Tomorrow is Sunday and I promised that I will go to the service and the program they are having after the service like Ann told me, can't remember the name though, what I just know now is that we need to sleep and rest our entire being for the next day.

We came in at nine and I went to take my bath and so did Ann, I wore my pajamas and dried my hair, when it was a bit dry, I tossed the towel on the dresser chair and sat on the bed. minutes later, Ann walked in and sat on the other side of the bed then she took that book she reads almost every night.

"We need to sleep," I said and she looked up at me and then back to her book with a smile on her face.

"I know, I just need to finish up this chapter" she replied.

I could feel my eyes slowly dropping and couldn't feel any strength to stay awake or talk to her so I lay on the bed and covered myself with the comforter then said 'Goodnight' to her before drifting off to sleep.

I jerked up to the ringing of my phone and then looked at what the time said before frowning at who would be calling at this odd hour of the day. I looked at Ann sleeping peacefully beside me then picked up my phone to see that it was Ricardo calling. Then it occurred to me.

I was supposed to call him when we arrived home but I was too tired to remember anything.

I stood up from the bed gently and then made my way outside the room so that I don't have to disturb Ann, I answered when I closed the door in a small raspy tone.

"Hi"

"Hey baby" he replied "How are you doing? Sorry that I am calling you this late but I had to check how you both were doing," he said and I smiled then cleared my throat.

"Oh no, don't apologize, I should be the one doing so. I should have called you when we came back" I said to him then I heard the door opening and closing then footsteps I think belonged to him. "Are you just waking up? Having a sleepless night?" I asked.

"No babe, I am just coming in from work" he replied and my eyes went wide as I thought of how dangerous it is for him to be out this time.

"What?" I whisper yell "Why Ricardo? I have told you countless times not to come in from work late, it's dangerous" I said feeling a bit panicked.

"I am sorry mum," he said then chuckled but I didn't let that get to me.

"Ricardo!" I scolded and he sighed.

"I am really sorry babe and keep your voice down so that you don't wake Ann up" he said and I walked further away from the door and down the stairs.

"Yeah, sorry but honestly, don't go home late like that again, okay?" I told him sounding really concerned.

"Sure babe, nothing will happen to me," he said and I sighed as I settled on one of the stools in the kitchen "How was yesterday?" he asked me and I smiled as the events of yesterday went through my head.

"It was awesome, Ann loved all my designs," I said and heard him chuckle.

"Really?" he asked and I nod my head.
