Do You Love Me? (GxG) ✔

Part 17

I'm awoken by someone's shaking my body literally. I try to push their hands away with no avail.

"Elsa, wake up." I yawn and blink my eyes repeatedly. I reposition myself on the chair while rubbing my eyes. I look up and see Evelyn standing in front of me.

"Hi Eve. Thanks for coming."

"You better have a good reason for this. I was getting laid back there." I smile at that. I know that i ruined her activities but i really need her and i have to leave this place.

"I do have a good reason. Anna's father kicked me out after finding out that i am a lesbian." My eyes are starting to get watery. I don't want to remember his face nor his words.

"What the fuck. How dare he. Do i have to knock on his door? Don't answer that. I'll go." She turns her heels but i grab her wrist. "Let me go. No one messes with my baby girl." I simply shake my head no. She sighs.

"Where's Anna?"

"She's with her parents." I reply sadly. She gives me a questioning look. I want to tell her how Anna reacted when the accident occurs but i can't. I cannot tell her how Anna didn't defend me or try to sooth me or anything. She did nothing. I realize that i'm crying again. Evelyn down to her kneels and wipes my tears away.

"It's a long story. I will tell you. But I-i just wanna go home." I say in between sobs.

"Alright then. You owe me an explanation though." I nod. "Now come on. We leave this shitty place." She gets up and helps me up.

About ten minutes later, we already sit on my comfy sofa in my private jet. I hear Nick's voice through the speaker that we will take off in five minutes.

"You okay? Do you need your pill?" Anna looks concern.

I mouth an okay. Evelyn knows about my phobia. I'm afraid still. But after what happened earlier, i don't have any energy in me to start shaking and trembling. I can no more run and out from the plane. Not like earlier. What a waste of a ticket. I just sit there, fastening my seat belt and closing my eyes. Hoping tomorrow will be better.

Today is another Monday. Another day to work.

As soon as i step down out from my apartment i can see the sky is gray. The sun is covered by clouds. From the weather report, they informed there will be rain. I sigh.

I walk down the street to Café François. I reach there in no time. I really need a coffee and if i'm lucky enough, i will meet Anna. She's been ignoring me. She doesn't reply my messages, reject my call even Skype. I try to DM her on Twitter or post on her Facebook wall. I know. I'm using all sources to get her. Don't ask me about coming to her home. I did. Every night. No one's home. It's been two weeks for god sake. I'm getting frustated here.

I push the door open. The smell of coffee is invading my nostrils. As usual i greet François and order. I scan the room but she's nowhere in sight. I sit down at my usual spot and read a newspaper. Not so long after, the waiter places down my order.

It's been thirty minutes. My cup of cappuccino is empty and the cheesecake is half eaten. Where is she? Doesn't she know i'm dying to see her? I miss her voice, i miss her beautiful face. I simply miss her.

I look at my watch. I've been here for more than an hour. I guess i should go to work. Reluctantly i finish my cake, fold the newspaper and get up.

On my way to the door, François stops me.

"Elsa, you don't look good. Something's bugging you? He asks me. I shake my head no. I think he'll buy it but.

"There is definitely something wrong. You have this gray aura around you." I chuckle lightly. "And oh where is Anna? I haven't seen her lately." He continues.
