the men of my life

Chapter 6

            Two days later, Kamilla got a call from Kathy, asking permission to take Robbie for ice cream treat.

- You can take him but don't pamper him too much, Kamilla said.

- I've got only one nephew let me fill the missing years that I was away.

- Ok. Remind him that tomorrow evening, I'll come to fetch him after work.

She then went back to work. She arrived home late at night. She was so tired that she went directly to sleep. The next morning, she was happy as Robbie will be with her during the week-end.

She called at the office with a smile on her face which was very rare these days. As soon as she sat on her chair, the phone began ringing.

- Hello, K Designing, how may I help you?

- Can I speak to Kamilla please?

- Who speaking?

- Matthew Turner.

- She is in a meeting. Any message, Sir.

- I know she is in the office and does not have any meeting and she is avoiding me.

- I don't know but she cannot talk to you now.

- I'm in your office and I'm waiting outside.

She just disconnected the call and remained in her seat. She did not know what to do. She did not want to face him but could not avoid him as Doris was out. She could not make any excuse so she took all the courage she could have and went outside.

- Hi, I think that we agreed to meet in three week time, don't we?

- I'm not here for the meeting. How could you Kami?

- What have I done?

- Yesterday, I met with Kathy and his nephew, Robbie at the ice cream shop. You know what, he reminds of someone whom you have seen his baby, toddler as well as teen photos. And you tell me what you have done.

- Yes, he is my son, so!

- Mine also, if I'm not wrong.

- No, he is only mine and no one will take my son from me. Out, I don't want to see you. Out, she shouted.

Then, she suddenly fainted. Matt quickly grabbed her, put her on the canapé and called James.

- Hello, can I talk to James, please.

- He is in the shower, may I help you, and I'm his wife.

- Tina, it's me Matt. It's urgent. Kami fainted again and I'm worried.

- Oh, she is so careless. I sure she did not have dinner last night nor breakfast this morning. Don't worry, the kitchen is on the right of her office, there's everything, so make a strong and sweet black coffee for her. Make her drink it as soon as she regain consciousness. James is on his way and I'll tag along.

- Thanks you are a life saver.

When James and Tina arrived, she was still unconscious. Tina gave Matt a hug and told him that it was good to see him. James was astonished to see Tina and Matt hug each other.

- I don't know that you two knew each other, said James

- Don't worry husband of my mine. He is a good and lost friend. I'm happy that you call by her office. Imagine that she was alone and something serious happened. No one would know.

- I think that I also contribute to that. We were shouting at each other, said Matt.

- No, it was time that she talked to you but she is so stubborn. James meet Matthew, because of him and my dear friend Kam that we have met.

- Oh, you are the Matthew. I'm sorry. I'll her an injection, if she does not wake up in ten minutes, we will take her to the hospital.

Whilst waiting, James got acquainted with Matt. Minutes later, Kamilla opened her eyes.

- Hey, best friend, you gave us a fright.

- Tina, what are you doing here?

- I called James as you fainted and Tina came also.

- I told you not to skip food. How could you be so reckless Kam? It's the last time I'm warning you. Next time, I'll admit you to the hospital.

- I'm sorry. I got carried away with my discussion with Matt. And you already deduce that I missed dinner and lunch.

- I'm prescribing a day off for you today and complete bed rest for the weekend.

- No James, I can't for the weekend. Robbie will home, I miss him.

- Don't worry, I'll take Robbie home with us, he and Timmy will be happy together. You really need to rest, said Tina.

- She is right you know. I could come to your place tomorrow cause you already know that we have this long due conversation. I'm not blaming you but please we must talk, said Matt.
