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

chapter-26

I woke up and it took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. Where was I? this didn't look like my room or like any of the rooms in Jason's house. I pushed myself up further against the back of the bed and switched on the bedside lamp.

The bedding was a beautiful rustic color. The walls were cream or white I think. The night light was not very bright. Over in the left hand corner stood a vanity chest and the above that was a flat screen TV. On the far side of the room I notice two bucket chairs and a tiny table. Was I in a hotel? I needed to get up and investigate but part of me was terrified. What if I was kidnapped? Yeah right my sub conscious laughs. Who would want to kidnap you? I pushed that thought aside and swung my legs off the bed. The moment I stood on my feet, the room began to spin. Shit I held on to my head and sat back down.

Why did my head hurt? Then I remembered. The coffee house, Adam being there .my phone ringing, and something about an accident. I frantically searched the room trying to see for my handbag when I spotted it on the floor at my feet.

I picked it up and tried to find my phone. But it wasn't there. Did I drop it back at the shop? I tried to push my brain to remember but I just couldn't think. I searched my bag for a second time and found it in the side pocket. I pushed the button to turn the screen on and the damn phone battery died. I couldn't tell what the time was but because the room was dark I assumedit was probably evening or morning hours. God knows how long I have been out.

I got up and fixed my clothes before I creeped over to the door silently, before peeping out. Once I was sure it all looked clear of whomever I was trying to run from, I slipped out.

It definitely was a hotel suit but a very rich one at that. Only the rich ones came with a fully fitted lounge, kitchen and couple of bedrooms. I could tell because of the long passageway I saw when I tried to figure out which was the entrance to leaving the suite. When I finally figured it out, I tiptoed over to the door and turned the knob, but it didn't budge. I tried and tried for a fifth time when I heard foot steps coming towards me. Please dear lord please let me leave I begged silently.

I wasn't aware that I dozed off. Once I made sure Maggie was settled comfortably I decide to go to my office and get some paperwork done. I don't know what time I fell asleep.it was only until moved and my neck hurt.

When I woke I saw that I was still at my desk. I looked outside the window and noticed that it was dark. I didn't even realize that I was so tired.

I got up from my desk and stretched a bit before I remembered Maggie. I rushed out the office down the hall way to the bedroom when something caught my eye or rather someone.

'are you going somewhere?" I strolled over to where Maggie was standing.

"Um how did I get here?" she asked rubbing her head as if it was aching.

'I could tell she felt a bit nervous, I was not exactly sure why she was nervous, I mean we spent a night together a couple of weeks ago when she came to see me , unless she doesn't trust herself being alone with me.

"well u fainted after you received that call and I didn't know where you stayed or where any of your friends stayed ,so I just thought I'd bring you here." I shrugged my shoulders and then went to the fridge and got a bottle of water from it and handed it to her. After a few seconds she took the bottle from my hand. Our fingers brushing against each other still sent electric shocks through my body.

I think she felt it too, I could tell by the sudden look she was giving me. I retrieved my hand as if nothing happened.

Act cool Adam I told myself. Don't let her see how nervous you are about her being here. Chill dude.
