Freedom And Love ( GxG)

22

The ringing of my mobile phone suddenly took me out of my daydream, making me jump and bringing me back to the reality.

My haggard gaze swept my wide desk in search of the cause of this incessant noise, not seeing it, I began to hastily raise the file papers scattered in front of me to finally find it under a stack of documents behind my laptop at the other end of the desk.

Sighing with relief as I leaned over, I pulled it over helping myself with some of the file papers, reminding myself that I probably had dropped it there when I went to the toilets earlier that day.

Looking at the screen of my iPhone, Donna's face made my heartbeat skipped a bit going faster, bringing a soft smile to my face.

But when my eyes landed accidentally on the wall clock right in front of me, my eyebrows rose in astonishment. woww! it's already 7 pm!

But looking through my bay window the sun was just starting. I'll have to be careful and put an alarm to warn me from now on.

Now! I'm in trouble! This damn summer time! This is the second time in a week.

it continues to ring with the song that Donna registered as hers.

Frowning, I looked around gathering the papers in an orderly pile, I sat upright, managed to take my phone that I had thrown on the table panicked earlier, inspiring, I approached the phone to my right ear grimacing before answering a bit too eager.

" hey! My love what's up? Before you start lecturing me I promise that I wasn't working! In fact I had stop quite sometimes ago. I think it was at three or three thirty. I think I just zone out, you know!?"

I argued not sure how she will take it. She was quiet now, her regular answer when something is bothering her.

" babe? Are you still here? I swear..." She cut me off

" I'm still there but I don't like it when you're outside at this time it is a little past seven pm, do you know that? Just come back OK?"

She said that defeated making me feel terrible about myself.

"Please my love I...I...I" I stuttered trying to bring the tension down but she cut me again now a bit flustered

"Please Kris come back home safe okay! It is already late even if it's not dark outside I don't like it!"
She pleaded with a small voice

Defeated I just shrugged my shoulders, suddenly feeling tense, massaging my temple with my left hand.

God this woman will be the end of me, I don't like it when I heard sadness in her voice.

It's just literally breaking my heart, the feeling is so real that it hurt, making me desperate to be with her to reassure her that everything will be alright.

" baby look! I... I'll make it and be with you as quickly as I can" I told her

"Be safe I love you"

" I love you to I'll be there ASAP."

I hung up, straightening and pulling myself together, I stood up while gathering my belongings putting them in my briefcase and purse.

After verifying that everything is in order, I left my huge office making sure to lock the door behind me, made a few steps across the corridor before entering my private elevator.

I came out of the elevator in no time, opening on a desert hall with only security guards sat there arguing and laughing, when they saw me they suddenly straightened greeting me politely surprised to see me here at this time, I made them a sign with my head taking quick steps toward the exit.

I made it outside the building, the summer sun was hitting like it was just noon when looking at my watch it was a quarter to eight pm, shaking my head I rushed to unlock my red SUV, opening the door, I sat on the leather seat starting it without wasting time, I made a U-turn, left and set off on my desert avenue.

Arrived on the main avenue there was a monstrous traffic jam, with my left hand I hit the steering wheel frustrated, seriously I will be more than late now! I glanced at the dashboard and sighted, it was eight passed ten PM now! Super!

After looking at the line of car in front of me, I ran my right hand over my forehead massaging my temple with my fingers. After that I took the bottle of water which sat on the passenger seat, I opened it and brought it to my lips sipping it slowly while leaning back conformably in my seat.

From now on I only have to advance mechanically until I reach the crossroads that will allow me to turn on my right away from this traffic jam.

But at this rate we have at least one hour to wait with the horns of impatient drivers which make a terrible noise, shaking my head, seriously what will these cars horns change the situation we're in?

All those silly humans being are making it worse by giving every one a terrible headache under this striking sun! I'm so tired all a sudden! why did I refused to take a driver this morning again?

I know better than to not listen to Donna, she has an impressive sixth sense that is always right! Save me from so much situations in five years.

Tapping the fingers of my left hand on the steering wheel my elbow lean on the door and my right hand on my thigh while looking through the window I thought about our life together all these years, in the beginning it was difficult and not always easy after but we have overcomed everything as a family.
