Ambition. Friendship. Pride. Those were the "values" Anna Jules learned from her childho...
"Anna..... Anna common can you hear me?"... the voice was faint
I could hear someone calling out my name; I can't feel my hands, what is wrong with me .........
"Anna, please open your eyes, can you hear me?
Gasping for air, I held both hands to my throat ..... my eyes popped open to images, gazing down at me.
"Thank God" I heard Ayo, "pumpkin you scared me for a minute, are you alright?"
Confused I looked at my best friend and two others, Bianca and him. "What happened?" I asked, trying to look calm, tell you the truth, this has got to be the most embarrassing day if my life. First I lost my best friend to a girl. Now, I am sitting on the floor with people looking down at me like a cute lost puppy. So typical Anna!
"One min we were talking, and you mentioned going to bed. Then the next thing was finding your face down. " said my best friend in anxiety. "Must be fatigue. " I said reassuring them. " I had a long day, and the flight must have caused it too." I staggered "I am fine. "
"No, you're not. I will take you to bed" he said " Ayo, don't worry. I will take care of her" he continued
I flagged his hands off my body, but he still held on to me. I eventually lost all the strength to fight him off.it all went dark, and silence took over.
****************
Waking up after a long sleep isn't always the best feeling for me. I am not a morning person, but I try to be effective with my routine. The bang was coming hard at the door; I woke up because I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Good, you Re-up. I wasn't sure about what I should do or who to call."
What is he doing here? Did Ayo put him up to this? Shoot I should be on my plane back to the city. I tried getting out of bed, but he pulled me back with his smirk and dark eyes.
"You can't go anywhere now. I called the hospital; they are sending someone over to take a look at you."
"Why? I feel fine... see" I stretched out
"Nah! Not on my watch. You passed out three times before daybreak. You don't look fine pumpkin. "
"Don't call me that ... where is ayo?" I looked out the window "I have a plane to catch and a meeting to attend."
"Ayo went to Bianca's, he was worried. I told him to stay the night there that I will take care of you. And no, I called the airline to move your plane till Saturday ......."
"What?" I shouted, " Who are you to control my life!how could you handle that without consulting me first?" I yelled in his face.
He smiled and looked right down at me. "Pumpkin, you need rest. And I am trying to help you. You can always find ways to have your meeting. I am pretty sure you're an asset to your company, your boss will understand "
As he was going to touch me, I held his hand up. "Don't touch me. I am not some random girl."
"No, you're not. Have some breakfast. "
He gave me a peck and left the room. I stared hard at breakfast. Why does he make me feel this way? Why can't I say no to him? Who is Philips San?
