“I said I’m okay!” her high pitch tone keeps on ringing “No you are not Z” I answered back. The sun is still up and I’m driving down town, on our way to the hospital. My worried ass.
“You don’t have to do this, I’m perfectly fine and you can see that” this time she’s being serious way more serious. ”This is not just “this” it is a situation that you need a 100% care. And for your information yes I can see that and I’m still worried” it fell into silence “I Hate You” she blurted
“Oh no I don’t believe you honey” I turn to face her and saw her reaction “Stop doing that” I ordered her
“Doing what?” she asked “Biting your lips.”
“Oh sorry” She apologized looking a bit shocked

We arrived in the hospital and assisted her to go in the clinic sections and saw
“Dr. Masen” I called as a woman wearing a white lab gown approached us.
“Mr. Steven good to see you. Now what brings you here?” she greeted and asked as she started to fix her glasses measuring it and laid an eye on Her. “Dr. Masen this is my wife” I introduce then she got tense I remember I’m still holding her hands. I let go of her and held her waist “Ahh I see that, you both look good for each other” she cheered shocked written all through her face “But I did not know you were married Mr. Steven?” she asked curiously
“I am. But I kept it as secretly, expose publicity are not my type” I said
“Oh. Well then what can I do for you?” she asked changing the topic
“I need some check-up for my wife” I requested facing Zooey beside me she looked so irritated but I did not mind it so instead I held her more tight and smirk “Okay. Follow me” she answered waving her arms towards her clinic and so we did. “Babe it’s okay, I’m here” I assured her I heard her light chuckled “I know but I don’t need it” she walked out and left me I shrugged off and walked next to her grinning mischievously
“So what happened?” Dr. Masen asked sitting in the edge of her desk “Nothing” “I almost hit her” We both answered together I notice she was glaring at me so I face her and winked
“I was driving down town and I almost hit her” I cleared
“That’s not it.” She contradicted looking at me ”Then what is it?” I asked racing my eyebrow “Argh forget it let’s just get this damn right” She shug her back against the chair and bite the tip of her nails as a sign of giving up. That’s it babe. I glance back at Dr. Masen telling her to continue
“Okay Ms. or Mrs..?” she asked
“It’s Ms.” She corrected “Okay Ms-..?”
“Berry. Zooey Berry” she cleared I face her and whispered “It’s supposed to be Steven. Mrs. Steven”
“Not now.” She shrugged her shoulder with confidence
“You’re still my wife” and I Love You
“Nope. Not anymore” shaking her head from side to side “Oh you are still and I won’t let that happened” I answered with conviction
“Okay Ms. Berry I need you to come with me for some vitals then if your results are good you may go” Dr. Masen interrupted

“You’re okay now Ms. Berry blood results are good no bone fractures” I stood up as I heard Dr. Masen saying Zooey’s results. After listening to all what Dr. Masen said we went out already.
“Where do we go now?” I asked fixing my safety belt “How about you take me home already? I’d be more delighted if you do that” she sounded sardonic
”Or I could take you to my home. How about that?” I suggested to her and she was shaking her head as if she couldn’t believe it. “I cannot believe you. You are being idiotic”
“I am not. “ I answered
“What’s with you? I mean what do you want?” she blurted out
“I just want some quality time with you” I expressed my thoughts. She was looking straight at the window not even bothering to look at me or talk to me I sighed “Alright I’m taking you home but can you atleast look at me or say something cause your silence driving me insane”
“Babe?” I called no answer
“Zooey please babe look at me?” still no response I sighed again “Look I am sorry babe if I’m being beyond idiotic I just really want your time” I tried my best to sound sincere but I still got nothing so I decided to start the engine and drove off. We arrive in the main city and yet no one’s talking it’s like we are mute people silence grew louder and it became more awkward when I remembered I didn’t know her exact address. I was about to ask when she cut me off “Just stop by the bridge” I’m curious but I remained silent. I followed her order, I stop by the Gladsville Bridge.
She got out of my car and stood by the big railings infront of her. I followed her outside and called her “Zooey?’
She was humming her favorite song and by that time I was already standing beside her. “Just listen.” She requested and so I did I stared at the beautiful sun setting down slowly and I remembered the first time I met her It was as if I reached the cloud nine she was so beautiful and light. Her bewitching smile across her lips, those soft voice like an angel playing her harp. As the sun settled down I closed my eyes and remembered her most capturing words before we parted away
“I Love You…”
This chapter is a bit confusing and I apologized to the readers. I am a bit twisted for this day, it got complicated for me to describe Frank’s point of view that’s why it was very short but anyways next chapter will be more evident.
Zooey on the side
