Lately, almost once again. I felt like I was being watched....
Sierra's pov~
After the whole Sam interaction. My mind was a mess. I got my point across to him but I still felt weird inside. Even though I talked it though with my therapist. I still had a little guilt from the last time from seeing the look on his face.
But you couldn't force feelings, I wouldn't or couldn't see myself being with someone else just to escape from another.
This mind loop of thoughts was truly getting to me. I was still tired, even though I slept the whole weekend away. I still felt drained, out of sorts. But I still managed to get myself up to go to work Monday morning.
And that's when it all started. From the parking garage, the prickling feeling of awareness at the back of my neck began. That someone was watching me. At the time I hoped it wasn't Sam trying to get me to see his side of things again. I definitely didn't want to face that.
Truly didn't want to deal with Chan yet either.
On Tuesday, I saw him on the way into work. He said an hello, looked like he had more say but his work pager buzzed. And told me he had to go.
That was it. In which was weird at that. Usually he'd ignore it as long as he could just to talk to me.
Was I getting used to having him around ?
No that couldn't be. He's just Aya's father, nothing more.
I then looked at my watch, saw that I was early. I had no idea why I left the house today earlier than usual. I felt the beginnings of an headache coming on. So I went to the gift shop to get some travel size Tylenol. Walked inside going to straight to where I knew they were. On the back wall of the tiny shop but placed high so children wouldn't grab them thinking that it's candy or something.
For today of all days they decided to stocked them in an different area that I known them to be. They were higher up than usual, I had to stand on my tippy-toes to be able to reach them. This action was proving to make my discomfort more worse as seconds went by.
I reached up, was barely touching the surface. This annoyed me so much that I thought to give up until I saw a hand go up, grab the medicine out of the box it was in.
I then exhaled, turned around to an face I could've sworn I've seen before.
" Hello again. I saw you struggling so I decided to help, " the guy spoke smiling but the smile did not reach his eyes. In which was kind of off putting to say the least.
But I didn't have time to analyze this guy right now. I needed those pills now to take, relieve the pressure that I was feeling in my head asap.
" Thank you. And you are ? " I asked holding my hand out to receive them.
But he chose to keep talking me up without folking them over. I was kind of irritated from that.
" Oh ! I'm Ramil. We ran into each other a few days ago at the clinic. "
It took a couple of seconds for me to remember.
" You were that guy. Okay. Can I have those meds now ? " I asked as he finally handed them to me. I grabbed a bottled water along the way to checkout.
...........
Walking out the gift shop, ready to take what I just purchased with this guy trailing behind. Why was he still bothering me when I felt like this ?
I looked out, over the lobby to find an safe place to sit. To chase these meds then head back to my department. As I spotted a place, went to secure it. As I set off over there I wobbled forward a bit.
And someone was there to straighten me before I'd took an tumble or ran into somebody.
" Hey ? Are you okay ? It's busy around here. I think we should head out. I know a place you can have privacy and quiet, " an male voice asked.
It was that guy. Why won't he just beat it, mind his own business ?
" I can take care of myself. Plus I work here so I won't be going anywhere with you. Thanks but no thanks, " I told him, tried to walk off but he still had an hold on my arm.
So I looked at him, then at my arm.
" I can't let you go seeing how sickly you're looking right now, " he stated.
" If you haven't noticed. We are in hospital. If I need help I'll seek the help of an professional. So let go, " I pointed out, was so ready to get away from this person.
" But Sierra..." He said, was cut off by me when I countered.
" How do you know my name ? "
I was stunned, stepped back a bit, he let go of my arm. Just in time for my vision to be blocked by someone's broad back.
This person stood between me, the guy that somehow know my name.
I knew that today wasn't going to be a good day.
Sorry for the shortness of the chapter. And who do you think came to help Sierra ? I truly appreciate the 93k reads 💖
