"What was even wrong with me that I walked up to that girl God damn it! I couldn't like somebody like THAT in a million years. I.. thought I would like a friend or two.. I didn't expect the people to think I was dating her and why are they even that nosey in my life in the first place?!" I said unconsciously draining all my anger and embarrassment on my manager shouting at him.
To be honest I don't know what took over me that I went and sat at her table and even talked to her.
This has never happened before and whenever I approached a girl it was just for my desires and that too in my private parties and clubs. Maybe I just need to loosen up a bit at the bar and these stupid feelings will go away. My company denied all rumours of our dating and concluded us as past friends, all thanks to the timely action taken by my manger. "Alex, I think it's time for you to find actual love not just lust. After a certain age your heart automatically craves for that type of love you know? It's fine if you do, who even cares for the public opinion? It's your life after all... My point here is that you just keep it secret boy" my manager said to me after listening to my fuss. Just as I was about to tell him to go away my phone rang. It was Adrien's hospital. This was unusual, his discharge isn't till one day more.. are they calling to bring him home earlier. I picked up the call "Hello, Mr Barlowe.. we are calling in concern of your little brother Adrien. Ahm uh he was being taken for a stroll in the garden outside... And uh we were dealing with a runaway patient from the psychiatric ward of ours, he was throwing quite a tantrum and he ended up all the way in the common garden from the psychiatric building and um somehow when we were trying to restrain him he collided with your brother. He has sustained a shoulder dislocation due to the patient's panic and fell off his wheelchair and hit his shoulder pretty hard on the ground. We are extremely sorry for this situation and we deeply apologize for the mistake on our part. We would request you to come to the hospital for some formalities please sir." Hearing this my blood boiled "The hell do you mean? Did we admit him there to recover or to break more bones?! This is completely unacceptable I'm going to sue your hospital for incompetence and damage! I'll be there in a few minutes and you better be prepared to pay the price.
I reached there, had a huge fit, caused a scene inlue of my brother, made sure that nurse lost her job for not being able to do it properly. And then here I was looking at my pathetic brother lying hopeless in the hospital bed. I felt something in my chest seeing him like this.. the healing leg seemed to be more damaged again and then his shoulder.. wrapped in another plaster hanging from his neck to support the arm. He was asleep when I got there. I didn't wanted to wake him up. I quietly went and sat at the chair near his bed, analysing him more, suppressing my anger. My love for my brother was greater than anything. That became clear now. Very clear. I sat there for a while, thinking what to do about all this. Well, the one who was responsible paid for the damage with her job. I can't do anything more, the hospital doesn't deserve more than that. Adrien wake up amidst my thoughts and called my name, snapping me out from my mind. "Alex? What are you doing here?" He called out weakly in a sleepy voice. "What else dummy? To see your pathetic condition. I can't believe that the hospital let a psychiatric patient escape!.." I said to him. "Hey, chillax bro, I mean as long as I'm here I can get one more chance to see her. What happens always happens for a reason you know" he said with a wink and a mischievous smile on his face that had me wondering for a minute whether he did all this willingly to himself, I thought mentally facepalming myself at how pathetically in love my brother is. "Well atleast it's not bad enough for you to fire the staff" he said with a shrugg. "Buddy, that's the first thing I did when I got here. And what do u mean it's not bad?, by the looks of it, it looks serious." I said gruffly. "Wait, what?! How long have I been asleep for that you were able to do all that." He said frantically that made me chuckle because he has sympathy for literally everyone. "You have been sound asleep for a good amount of time, bud. And yeah it really seems like you'll be staying here half a month or so more. Enjoy your time with your lovely past girly behind my back. I'm departing tomorrow for Brazil." I said to him and received a look of shock as if he got amnesia from today's accident and forgot about me telling him about Brazil. "Oh! Yeah I remember now! I totally forgot about it. Who's gonna take care of me and visit me now??? Who's gonna keep me company and listen to me talk? Uwaaa. I'm gonna be so lonelyyy." He said so dramatically, as if I'm going to die there and he'll never see me again. "Dude shut your trap it's only gonna be one damn week. Anyways you need anything from me or from outside? I think this'll be it for a week I gotta go and pack my things. My flight is at 5 in the morning." I said. "Nah I'm good, just bring a souvenir or two on your way back from Brazil though." He said smiling with those does eyes, AGAIN. "God! okay! I will. I never said I won't, stop making those eyes. I'll get going then. Oh lastly, update me on your lovestory " I said giving him a tease as I departed. The elevator opened with a ting as I made my way out wearing my disguise again... Only to find lily outside talking to the doctor. I saw her but decided to ignore her and was on my way to my car.. but her eyes found mine. Her expressions gave away that she knew who I was under the mask but I decided to ignore that too. I felt a connection to those blue eyes of hers. But I jerked my thoughts and got in my car. I don't have any feelings for her and she isn't my type anyways. I said to myself and started my car.
