"That's all?"
My friend James asked after carrying the last of my stuff to my new apartment.
"Yes thank you, James. It means a lot." I said and hugged him.
It has been exactly 1 day and 10 hours and 5 minutes since I left. Time passed by so slowly. Hours felt like days, seconds felt like minutes, I could feel the clock ticking in my ears.
"Camila?" I heard James say popping my bubble.
"Yeah, you can go. I can do this already." I say and he looked at me and raised his eyebrow.
"With a sprained ankle?" he said and I looked at him with a serious face.
"of course I can, now go your wife is waiting for you," I say and he chuckled and nodded.
"thank James," I whisper and waved bye-bye to him.
I sighed and sat down at the chair, I should get my leg used to walking now.
Even though Alejandro and I split up, I set some ground rules for myself: I wouldn't destroy his name, I wouldn't breach the contract, and I wouldn't divorce him. These guidelines were simple to follow.
When I left, I assumed Alejandro would message me, but to my amazement, he didn't even come to search for me. Well, that proves that he doesn't care about me.
Whatever the f**k, as long as I don't see him, I'm alright?
*Sigh*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 months later...
"One Iced Coffee for Camila Romano?"
The waiter on the counter said and I raised my hand and rushed there.
"That's me!" I say and he chuckled.
"Just how you like it, Cam." The waiter named Tony says and I chuckle.
"Sweet, thanks, Tony," I say and quickly rushed out of the cafe.
Today was going to have a busy day at work, I moved to San Francisco now. Yes, it was barbaric of me but I made it clear when I said I wanted to forget everything that happened...
Suddenly while I was on my way inside the hospital, I bumped into someone, making spill all of my coffee forward, I closed my eyes shut hoping that someone would save me from falling.
Suddenly I felt someone grip my waist, I opened my eyes and suddenly saw dark blue eyes that were so familiar, it was Valentino.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry," I say and quickly pulled away, I looked at his shirt and it was covered in coffee,
"Camila?" He says and as I quickly took a handkerchief from my bag and quickly came to wipe his shirt. Damn his chest was as hard as a rock.
"Camila, it's okay," he said and took my wrist.
"But I ruined your shirt" I pouted and he chuckled.
"Hey, it's okay, I still have an extra one at the car." He added and I nodded.
"So how have you been?" He said as I picked my empty cup of coffee on the door and threw it at the garbage.
"Good, I suppose," I say and fixed my top.
"Did you leave Alejandro?" He asked and my eyes widened.
"What do you mean? of course not." I quickly say and walked away.
"Camila!" He called out for me but I just went straight to the elevator and left.
What the heck was he doing in San Francisco?
And how the heck does he know?
I sighed and suddenly the elevator doors opened. I walked straight to my office and tried to calm myself down. I hope I won't see him again...
I quickly changed into a white coat and my scrubs and wore my glasses.
I can't let them see me here... Maybe I should move... No that's much riskier!
I sighed and felt helpless, I'm stuck in a metaphor again. Maybe this was meant to be I'm sure people won't live in sorrow forever right?
'No, some people do Camila...' Myself replied and I sighed and told my brain to shut up.
This is going to be a long day...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thank you so much, doctor." My patient said and I smiled at her.
"Your welcome ma'am," I say and hugged her.
She exited my clinic and I quickly looked at my chart to see if I had other patients and finally I had non left.
I approached my desk and quickly placed my stuff back in its place. After that, I took off my coat and changed into my clothes. Today I was wearing a black top and jeans.
It was comfortable and of course, I'm sure no one would care about my attire.
When I was done I suddenly heard the door clink. I looked back and saw Mr. Greg there standing before me.
"Mr. Greg! Good afternoon."
I say and approached and gave him a handshake.
"Good afternoon to you too Miss Romano." He says and takes a seat, I took the seat in Infront of him and he handed me a letter which looked like an invitation.
"You're invited to the Night of the Gala, it's the new opening party for the 30th year of the "Intrepitide Industries"." He says and I looked at him shocked.
"We hope that you can go as our special guest?" He says and I smiled.
"Thanks, Mr. Greg, of course, I can, but I'll have to check my schedule first," I explained and he nodded.
"Well, it's settled then." He says and stood up. I nodded and gave him a handshake again then seconds later he left.
Well, that was another surprise, should I go? I have a bad feeling about this...
I sighed and looked at the invitation, wow this company was outstanding, but I've never heard of it before though.
I took my bag and closed the lights on my clinic and strolled out of the clinic and to the elevator.
Hmmm, I wonder what should I do next. Well, the gala is at 7 p.m. so I guess I should just spend the day getting ready.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'finally done!"
I cheer as I put on my high heels. Today I was wearing a silver sparkly dress that had this cover-up design with black clear fabric. I matched with black heels. My hair was in curls and as usual, I was wearing my mother's necklace.
I sighed and took my purse and walked out of my apartment, I rushed to my car and now I was on my way to the party. I hope tonight will go well...
