forgotten but still loved...BOOK 1#WATTY'S2016)

chapter 7

"Maggie did you know that guy" Jason asks while we getting ready to leave the house. As you guessed he stayed over last night. He was too wasted to drive and I didn't have his driver's numbers to contact any of them. When I woke this morning and headed down stairs the aroma of coffee met me at the foot of the stairs. When I entered the kitchen I found Jason behind the stove cooking scrambled eggs. The toaster popped up and I took that as my cue to the help with breakfast, both of us avoiding last night and the conversation he had with Sally.

I turned around to remove the butter from the fridge when I bumped into Jase. "Um sorry" as all I managed to say. "Mags about last night, it's all a bit blurry but I do apologize for anything I must have said" he said nervously whiles scratching his head. "Uh huh" was all I said. We finished making breakfast and went to sit down. Just as we were done eating and were busy heading to the kitchen there was a knock at the door. I continued to take the dishes to the kitchen and Jason went to answer the door.

I hear voices as I finished washing the dishes and pans. Then I decided to go see who as at the door and why Jason as taking so long. That's when I got to see who as standing behind the door, to say I was gob smacked was the under statement.

There stood Adam. Here stood I. I couldn't believe he showed up after all these years. I couldn't form words in my brain to say anything. I stared at him and he at me. We both just stood there until he spoke. I can't believe he just denied knowing me, but maybe it's for the both. Oh my goodness how could this happened now. Some one must be playing a sick joke on me. Just when I am about to get my life in order then he has got to show up. Gee wizes please give me a break.

Jason closed the door. "Do you know him mags?" before I could answer that question, I headed upstairs and jumped in the shower hoping that Jason would have left by the time I'm finished.

When I finished showering and getting dressed, I grabbed my bag and things and headed down stairs silently praying that he has left. I tried listening when I got out the bathroom but didn't hear anything. I assumed he left to go home and change before heading to the office.

When I reached down stairs I was relieved to find that he had in actual fact left. I locked up and left for work. This would be one long ass day. But I welcome all the distraction I can get today. I find myself constantly wanting to know why Adam showed up at my door. Goodness life really is messing with me lately. First John shows up and then Adam. The one person I would gladly welcome to show up in my life wont. I really do miss my mum, can't believe it's been so long since I visited her grave but going back there would mean that I would run into people I am hoping to avoid.

The day passes with much relief. I get home and my phone rings as I open the door. All I hear was someone saying "I'll be there in ten minutes, we are going out." And then the line was dead. I shuffle inside the apartment winter is sure starting early this year. I love the summer daysCape Town gives but absolutely just hate the windy wet winters.

I get inside and drop my bag on the floor and immediately head to the kitchen to put on the kettle for some coffee. I decide to run upstairs .Sally must be out, I decide on a change of clothing its way to cold to be having a shower now. Before I can get my shoes on my feet the door bell rings. I run down stairs and open the door knowing already who it is. Jason greets me with a smile nothing too awkward thankfully. I motion for him to have a seat while I run back up stairs to finish getting ready. I was nearly done when a light knock-on the door startled me. How you ask. Well I seemed to have drifted off into lala land once again. My mind just would not leave the Adam story alone; I kept telling myself that I made the decision to give Jason a chance, besides Adam ruined me for the longest time. I have moved on and he showing up at my door won't make me go back on my word.
