UNEXPECTED

I was waiting for Faye to wake up. She's been asleep for the whole day. The doctor said she might have remembered something that caused her headache. The doctor then asked what we're doing when the headache occurred.

I told him that we're just eating and then Faye's head started to hurt. I immediately bring her here. The doctor said it was natural and we just need to wait for Faye to wake up to find out some more. I just nodded and sit beside Faye while holding her hand.

I was talking on the phone when I saw Faye move. I immediately excuse myself and ended the call. I went to her side and support her so she can sit down. I asked her how's she's feeling and she said she's okay. I excuse myself and told her I'll just call the doctor then she nodded.

I called the doctor and we both rushed back to Faye's room. Then we saw her looking outside. The doctor asked her how she's feeling but she said she's fine and just got tired. The doctor asked her if she remembers something.

She looked at me and said she still doesn't remember anything. I was saddened by the news but I kept it to myself. The doctor told us to just call her if we need anything. I look at Faye and she seem distant. I don't know why. So, I told myself as soon as she got discharged, I'll take her to our restaurant and I'll tell her everything.

The doctor asked Faye to stay for another night so he can make sure that Faye is really fine. The next morning Faye asked me to take her to her parent's house. I want to ask her if she wants me to stay with her but she told me she can manage and her parents are there as well.

I just agreed even though I don't want to. I just drive her there and bid my goodbye. Before I left, I told her to just call me if she needs anything. She just nodded.

I went to the company since I don't have anything to do. I called Freen to reserve the VIP room on our restaurant for dinner since I have to tell Faye everything. She asked for the time and I told her at 7pm so that I still have time to fetch Faye at their house. She said okay and told me not to worry about anything.

I called Faye and asked her if we can have dinner later but she told me she already has plan with her parents. I said okay and take care then ended the call. I called Freen again and told her to cancel the reservation since Faye isn't available.

She asked me if I was okay. I told her I am just a little sad cos I felt like Faye is avoiding me. She asked me if I needed someone to talk to. I asked her if we can go out instead. She agreed and told me to pick her up later so we can go to Becca's bar. I ended the call and continue working.

Because I was busy working, I forgot about the time so I still haven't eaten dinner and it's already eight in the evening. I called Freen and told her I am on my way. She asked me to drive slowly. I told her I will. I was waiting for the red light to turn green when I saw Faye and another woman going out of from a restaurant.

I was baffled cos she said she has plans with her parents. But I didn't see auntie or uncle. The light turns green so I continue driving to the restaurant and there I saw Freen waiting for me. I opened the door and told her I want to get drunk. She seems confused but didn't say anything and just get in and we drove to Becca's bar.
