Venus Cavannaugh
"Did you call Liam? And told him what happened ". I asked Zara with hope that he would at least respond back to me.
She exhaled slowly,
"I did call him to tell him about your accident but he said he'll call later to check on you". She concluded sadly.
I leaned back in the bed and thought about my husband who has been away in Tokyo for almost two years now. The only reason he took up the job as he claimed was because so he can think.
* * * * * * *
"Liam!". I cried out.
He stopped putting his clothes into the luggage and turned to face me.
"Liam please don't leave w..we can work this out". I begged while tears poured down my face.
He turned away from me and walked to the window.
"I need sometime to think about 'us' there have been so many gaps"
"But we can fill them, Liam I know I said some things but that doesn't mean that you should leave". I interjected. "Liam please I love you".
He walked across the room and picked me up from where I knelt
"We need this break I said some things also. But what we need right now is some time apart from each other its just for a few months". He said
* * * * * * *
And a few months turned to years,
After Zara had left, I thought back to my husband living the life in Tokyo while his wife and child are here waiting for him. I felt a tear slid down my cheek, at least he could have called to see how I'm doing, if I'm alive or not.
The door opened and I quickly rubbed my face clear of any tear remaining. I could see someone holding a bunch of roses but it blocked their face, somehow as if the person knew he laid down the flowers.
"Hi". He smiled widely.
'Fine specimen' I thought
"Hi ," I responded. "What are you doing here?". I asked unsure.
He chuckled lightly. I immediately realised my mistake and took it back,
"I'm sorry forgive my bluntness, I didn't mean that". I anxiously said.
He smiled at me giving me goosebumps on my skin.
"Its alright. You didn't mean that, forgive my sudden intrusion ".
"Its okay now we're even". I smiled.
He handed the flowers to me,
"I brought you these, in case you needed something to cheer you up".
I admired the flowers first before I diped my nose to smell its fragrance , I smiled to myself before looking up to fine specimen.
"Thank you they're lovely". I appreciated.
"I'm glad you like them, I haven't formally introduced myself. I'm Ethan Miller". He said.
"Venus Cavannaugh". I responded stretching out my hand for a shake, he took my hand in his and shook it lightly before retracting it.
His hands felt nice against mine,
Imagine those hands against my body one more time, I shook my head free of immoral thoughts.
"Are you okay?". He asked concernedly.
I looked up to him and my gaze fell on his lips. Just think about the feel of them.
I must be loosing my mind. I'm a married woman for Christ sake. And here I am thinking of another man's lips.
"I'm alright thank you for asking". I clarified.
"I came to check on how you're doing, I was worried. To tell the truth I was afraid of coming because of your friend ". He started.
I laughed before he joined in. We laughed together for a while before it died down.
"I know Zara can be intimidating at times but once you get on her good side you'll forget all about her anger in time". I reasoned.
He breathed out first then he talked,
"I just hope I get on her good graces soon".
"I formally wanted to thank you for paying the bills I'm greatful".
"Its nothing besides its all I could do anyway , when are you gonna be discharged". He asked out of the blue.
I furrowed by brows deep in thought before I answered,
"I'm not sure, the doctor didn't say when but I know it won't be long before he does so".
"I wanted to ask if I can be able to take you home, instead of stressing yourself out with a cab" He asked.
I smiled,
"You don't have to do this you've done so much already" ,
"No..no, I want to do this please ". He begged.
Oh God, help me.
His expression was that of a cute puppy, and I couldn't turn down his request.
"Alright I accept your request, you could take me home. I'll tell you when I'm leaving the hospital".
"Great I'll pick you up then,". He replied enthusiastically.
"Sure".
