It hurts...
It hurts everywhere... was the pain there all along or am I just feeling it right now? I open my eyes to find out I am on someone's bed. I look around and see a bedroom with a white roof, white walls, a little shade of purple flowers, and brown branches, it looks like someone painted these walls...This room has a single bed and a working desk..this is someone's house but this isn't mine.
My stomach is making weird noises. I haven't eaten in a while. my head hurts. Mr. Chad's voice is the only hint to tell me why I am here in the first place. Maybe it's his house? I wonder what time it is...
"Gilbert?.. Hello, are you there? Gilbert? Did he just hang up on me? that idio-" he stopped talking after realizing I am awake. He put his phone down on the table.
"You are awake!" he brought me water.
"Where am I? " I ask while observing the room. This bed is comfy though.
"This is my house. You fainted out of the blue... Gilbert asked me to take you home," he said bringing me something to eat.
"When did we get here?" I ask
"A few hours ago and I already have to go to work. Let's talk further when you are done having breakfast," he said bringing me some medicines as well.
"I have been out for a few hours?" I ask, I feel like I just closed my eyes for a few minutes or so.
"Yes you were, focus on your breakfast, It looks like you fainted because of an empty stomach," he said as he go through his clothes to look for something to wear
"For how long have you not been eating?" he ask concerned...
"I don't know probably 2 days... I guess" I said smiling awkwardly.
"2 WHOLE DAYS.. kid you almost died.." he said. He looks surprised.
"That was the whole purpose of this, If it wasn't for you to ruin my plan with your boss.." I said rolling my eyes. How annoying.
"haha make sense but... He isn't my boss" he said. laughing at my silly assumptions.
"What he is NOT?! So what is your relationship with him? " I asked surprised.
"He is my business partner we work together as a team and not like some boss and secretary, although it maybe seems like he is the boss judging by our appearance trust me I am older.." he said smiling.
All this time I thought that he was some sort of employee of Mr. Lincoln but turns out they are partners, That is why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Although he looks younger than Mr. Lincoln. Who would have thought he is older?
"What exactly do you guys do for a living.." I ask out of curiosity.
"I am a police officer and he runs a detective agency.. We are partners because we have different yet similar jobs. I met him 3 years ago and we pretty much had a good time working together.." he said while smiling he looks proud of his friendship with Mr. Lincoln.
" You guys look close," I said. making eye contact with him.
"You think so.." he said smiling...
"Let me tell you one thing about him.." he adds."He is always concerned about his work all the time, and one thing he hates is when people waste his time. This morning you got lucky because he was in a good mood. maybe there was something special about you. It took me 2 years to get along with him well. He was 7 hours late because of you." he said while getting ready for work.
He was wearing a black and white police uniform right now not much like last night when I saw him in a suit...Mr. Lincoln wasted 7 hours on me? I think Mr. Chad is exaggerating at this point. He was just doing his job nothing special.
