I Miss You

CHAPTER 20

INSIDE DR AUTHORITY'S OFFICE

We sat on her office chair for what felt like 30 minutes, we kept quiet and just stared at each other.

I am 100% sure that Dr Authority did not have anything to say about my health, but has more to say about her crush on Damian.

I pity her, but then I can't possibly push myself off the cliff to save her; I am sure she will laugh at my stupidity for sure.

Damian told me to go back to the visitors room and wait for him to come out; I was angry but then I felt nagging or complaining will embarrass him, so I just left quietly.

The two spoke for a long time, I could hear there laughter from the visitor's room and that annoyed me the most.

Few minutes later they two came out, shook hand; dr Authority went to attend to her next patient and damian joined me.

I stood up and watched them greet each other like they've been friends for a long time; I couldn't watch them again, so I took off.

Instead of going to the car I was walking outside the hospital gate; damian ran after me immediately.

He tried to talk to me, but I felt he wanted to talk me out of what I saw, so I didn't give him listening ears.

He later convinced me to let him take me back home.

The trip back home was so quiet; he tried to explain to me what happened inside Dr Authority's office but I refused to listen to him.

As soon as we got to my house I stormed out of the car and went into my room and locked the door. I could'nt help but picture damian doing all sorts of things with Dr Authority.

I feared he will be touching her like he does to me. With my knowledge of dr Authority I knew she is a free spirited young lady, an adventurer, and I hated that she is trying to bring her adventures to my Damian.

The more I thought of that, the more scared I became. Damian is a tall and very handsome young man, coupled with the fact that he is rich; those details alone puts him at the mercy of desperate flirty fine shaped girls.

I kept on hearing several knocks on my room door, but I couldn't open or attend to any of them. I feared it might be Damian. I am sure that I will loose the fight if he involves my parents, so I decided not to open the door for anyone.

An hour later I heard a knock but thought it was either of the three, so I hesitated opening it; then I heard Amarachi's sweet voice on the door and I rushed and opened it.

I asked her about her dad and my parents; she said dad left, and grandma and grandpa went out. Turns out mom went to the market, and dad went to the village square to hangout with his friends.

Amarachi has a very calming voice that when listened to can take away the person's worries.

Each time I listen to her sweet, gentle and cute voice, I just relaxed; it feels like she is singing, even when she is only narrating an incident.

My stomach rumbles and immediately i ran to the fridge to find something chewy to eat. There was nothing but 2 apples in the fridge, so i took one, washed and bit into it whole.

While chewing the apple I recalled back the series of times that Damian came to my house with food for me.

"that was then" I thought.

I was sure he wasn't going to do those little act of love again. Those act were pecks of fresh dating.

I looked at Amarachi who has been itching her back for a while now. I  turned her to back  me, then I unzipped her clothes and surprisingly I saw rashes all over her back.

Looking at them I could tell they have been there for days now; I took her to the bathroom, scrubbed her body with antiseptic soap and a softer foam. Then I put some drying powders on her back to help the rashes dry up.

Mom came back later in the day, and we made dinner. Uncle Asa drove dad back home from the meeting.

I waited for Damian but he didn't show up; I couldn't help but wonder if he is still angry with me..

I checked my phone and saw some messages he sent to me; it happened that he texted me since 2:00pm apologizing for making me angry.

I checked to see if there was any message where he talked about why he can't come over tonight, but there was none.

I suspected immediately that he was with Authority, but I couldn't confirm my suspicion since it was already very late, and my parents won't let me out of the house by that awful hour of the night.

Instead I just stayed put on my bed; I tried to sleep but non was coming into my eyes, so I stood up and started reading novels. I couldn't focus on the novel, nor memes, nor  browsing; so I put off all of them.

I dialled Damian's number but he won't pick up any of my calls. That alone was enough enough to confirm my suspicion that he is with a lady somewhere.

I snuck out of my house, and ran to the hotel he was loudged in. I tried to find out his room number from the receptionist but she won't give me that information. She said that company policy prohibits that, and I understood.

Instead I sat on a chair on the reception and waited for him to come out; I waited for hours but he won't still come out. I went to the restroom to ease myself; on getting out I saw Damian climb down the stairs with some white lady. I recognized the lady as the same person he had a scandal with.

I recalled back reading blog posts by some reporter; he posted alleged pictures of damian together with Clara, the only daughter of a chinese conglomerate, Mr Bangkok.

The blogger posted that the two has a secret court wedding without the parents of the girl present to officiate it. People said it was a mare speculation; some said it was a lie that the wedding was not with Damian, so I decided to let it slide.

And besides I asked damian and he told me that he wasn't married to anyone over there.

If it was all a lie, then what is Clara doing here in Nigeria
