Five Years, Too Late

A very tired groan left my mouth, my eyes met the wall clock and sighed... 4 hours.

Adele has been complaining about how I abandoned her at the hospital.. for four hours!

Even Davis is getting tired of her nagging, he was watching his cartoons when she came in.. now he's glaring daggers at her.

Which I can't blame him for, after all... her grumbling is making it difficult for him to concentrate.

"Momma, I wanna sleep" Davis said.

"Come to momma"

He rushed to me, he sat between my legs and rest his head on.. it didn't take long before he dozed off.

"...left me with that murderer in the hospital, you didn't even consider the fact that..."

My eyes landed on my phone laying on the sofa, it's still off.. I'm expecting a call from Thanatos.. he said he'd call me when he arrives.

It's more than four hours already, he's supposed to call by now..cause I believe he's arrived.

She banged on the table and caught my attention.

"I'm talking but she's not even listening to me!" She growled.

I blinked and smiled forcefully at her.

"She's not show any remorse for her sin"

My eyes flicked back to my phone, she caught this movement and sighed...

She furrowed her eyebrows instantly, there's are small frown lines on her forehead...her hands balanced on her waist.

"Can you tell me why your eyes keep peeking at your phone?"

She squinted her eyes after speaking.

"I'm actually waiting for Thanatos call" I replied, sounding a bit worried...or scared.

"Why are you waiting for his call? Isn't he coming back to his apartment?" She asked.

I didn't reply, but shook my head.

"He's travelled back to Chicago, he promised he'd call me when he arrives..but up till now, he hasn't called me"

She studied me for a brief moment, then burst into a bright smile.

"Someone is in loveeee" she said, emphasizing on the love.

I ripped my eyeballs and checked my phone again, there are no single call or message from him yet...

Maybe I should just give him a call instead, but what if my call disturbs him?

I guess he's settling somethings over there... he'll call me later.

"It's been five years, Jas... you've locked your heart for five years now"

She paused and stared at me, as if she's expecting me to say something...but I don't speak.

"You've been through so much these five years, you have sacrificed everything so many things for Davis...which I'm not saying is bad"

I chuckled at her last speech, I already know what she wants to say..but I'm still listening.

"But, I think it's time you do some somethings for yourself too"

I nodded and pretend like I'm a little bit lost.

"I don't really get what you mean"

"Give your heart a second chance, give Thanatos a second chance to love you... I can tell he's quite serious this time" she said.
