Linda's POV
After eating our lunch we went back to work. It was so boring. After a long day of taking notes and listening to Brandon making his presentation, we finally went to the apartment.
"You've been quite. Are you okay?" Brandon asked and I just nodded.
"I'm just tired." I said yawning. Brandon opened the door to the apartment. Ava was not there. That's a relief.
I sat down on the couch.
"What a long day." I sighed taking off my glasses.
"Yeah. It was. Did you see the...."
"See what?" I asked curiously.
"What?" I asked again.
"Your eyes are yellow." He said looking into my eyes.
"Huh?" I panicked. I ran into the bathroom to look at my eyes in the mirror. I took a deep breath.
"Okay. Okay. Calm down Linda." I said to myself. I took out my phone to call my doctor.
"Hello?"
"Doctor! I have a problem. My eyes are yellow and I don't know what to do or what's the course of it!" I cried. Brandon was knocking on the door because I locked the bathroom door.
"Ms Craig, we need to do the surgery immediately. Or your situation might worsen."
"I'll be there ASAP!" I ended the call.
"Linda please open the door." I finally opened the bathroom door. Brandon held my shoulders.
"What did the doctor say?" Brandon asked.
"I need to go back home." I calmly stated.
"Okay we'll leave tomorrow."
"No no no. You stay here, you still have some business meetings to attend." I said hugging him. It felt so good.
We went back to the lounge.
"Linda. I'm coming with you." He's not going to let this go is he?
"Brandon. I'll be fine besides..." The door opened interrupting me.
"Hey guys!" Ava yelled.
"You have her." I finished my sentence motioning to his 'friend'.
"What? What's going on?" Ava asked.
"Linda wants to go back home but she doesn't want me to come with her." Brandon filled Ava with our conversation.
Was it really necessary?
"Oh? But you still have business meetings to attend."
Well she's right about one thing.
I kept quiet. Ava convinced Brandon until he gave in. So he listened to Ava but he didn't even want to let this conversation go when I tried to convince him.
"Okay fine. You promise to call when you arrive?"
"I promise Brandon." I said smiling at him.
"See? Now that's out of the way. Let's watch a movie." Ava said pushing me out of the way to get close to Brandon.
Wow.
"What do you want to watch Linda?" Brandon asked making Ava to glare at me.
"Uhh.. I'm not joining you guys. I'm going to pack up my stuff. Enjoy." I said leaving them to enjoy their movie night.
I watched them and they looked so happy. Why am I even jealous of them?
I got to my bedroom and texted Casey.
Me: Hey girl!!
Casey: Hey. Miss me? When are you coming back?
Me: Tomorrow. I'm going to do my surgery.
Casey: Ohh right. At least we'll be together. My brother can't stop talking about you..
Oh my. Daniel? Talking about me.
Me: I have to pack. I'll call you when I arrive.
Casey: Okay love you. ♥️♥️
I threw my phone on my bed. If I text Casey back and say 'I love you too' she'll never stop texting.
I packed up my stuff. I could hear Brandon's laugh from the lounge.
I hate Ava. I finished packing and went to sleep. It's going to be an early morning tomorrow.
