It’s been two weeks now that I have been avoiding Nick, I still felt a bit guilty about the way our conversation ended and that’s a sure sign that I already let him in. I don’t have the heart for disappointments anymore.
I am also avoiding my brother (unsuccessfully I might add), after asking that crazy question, I started thinking,
What is going on between Nick and I ?
I might kill that fool for putting that thought in my head, I still haven’t given him an answer and he still pesters me.
I was in my office talking to Mrs. Farson about the drugs she’d get and how to use them, I told her to go see Tasha so she can give her the prescriptions, so I can go see Nick.
I made my way to Nick’s office, I was kind of nervous; I mean I haven’t spoken to him since the incident.
He at least made an effort to talk to me but I avoided him, I always take the stairs whenever he’s in the elevator, or the other way whenever I see him coming.
I don’t want to let him in, but it’s too late for that, I miss him coming over (my nights are really lonely now), our silly discussions, in all honesty, I miss HIM.
So, I’m going to fix this even if I have to get on my knees to beg (which is highly unlikely).
I got to his door and knocked, I heard him
“Come in”
I mustered all the confidence I can, I entered.
“Good Morning” I said “I’m here to see a doctor Reed”
A few minutes passed before he finally spoke.
“Sorry, the doctor is not available for any patient right now” he said folding his arms and leaned back “but I can get you an appointment if that’s okay with you”
“No, it’s important I see him now”
“Why is it important” he said “The doc is a very busy man”
“Well, I’m sure that he’s busy but I need to apologize” I replied “And I need him to give me another chance”
"Another chance for what?" he asked.
"For things to go back to the way they were"
“Hmmm, that’s for him to decide” He raised a brow.
“Can I leave a message with you then?”
“Okay, I’m listening" he shrugged "I’ll relay everything to the doctor when he arrives”
“I’m not very good at this” I sighed “I’m sorry about the way I acted towards him the other day, it was totally uncalled for. I have massive trust issues and it’s a long story, which I might tell him one day” I paused.
He waved at me to continue.
“I hate to admit it, but I miss him, a lot, I miss our time together, I miss him coming over and teasing me. I would like to ask him to go out with me for lunch, but I don’t know if he would come” I looked at him with a hopeful expression “I know I messed up, but if he could let me try to make it up to him”
He put his hand on his chin, after a few minutes of pretending to think about it, “I think the doctor can squeeze you in” he said finally “By the way, that apology sucks, you were rambling a lot. You’re lucky I like you” he smiled.
“That’s it?” I asked surprised “I was thinking I’d have to go on my knees and beg.”
“That can be arranged” he shrugged. “I can still change my mind and make it a bit difficult for you”
“No! No more begging, please” I pleaded “I hate apologies, especially if I’m the one doing it” I mumbled.
“I miss you too my little munchkin” He laughed and ruffled my hair.
“Don't do that and please don’t call me that” I scowled “And I’m not little” Swatting his hand and fixing my hair.
“Yes you are, shorter that me at least” he said as we made our way outside “Where are you taking me to on our date”
“This not a date” I rolled my eyes ”this is an I’m-sorry-i-acted-like-a-fool-and-want-to-apologize-lunch” I laid emphasis on the lunch.
“Whatever you say, it’s still a date to me” he shrugged.
I shook my head smiling, I really miss him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I was back in my office when I heard a knock,
“Come in” I answered.
“Hi sis” he said cheerfully.
I groaned, not again, I banged my head on the table.
“What do you want?”
“Can’t I come and see my favorite sister?” he asked like he was hurt.
“I’m your only sister doofus, and no you can’t” I said rolling my eyes at him and lifting my head from the table. “Not if you keep asking me crazy questions”
“I see you and Nick are back together again” he said wiggling his brows.
“We're not together" I said glaring at him "Besides, it's none of your business”
“There’s no need to be defensive” he raised his hands in surrender.
"Can't I watch out for my 'only' sister?"
I rolled my eyes at him, at this rate, my eyeballs are going to fall off soon.
Almost immediately, he became serious “He wants to see you”
Just by the way he said it and how serious he is, I knew who he meant.
“No” I replied “I won’t see him”
“I knew you would say that” he sighed “Which is why I came prepared”
“Whatever you want to do, it won’t work”
He stood up, went to the door and opened it to reveal Carol.
“How long have you been standing there” I asked her.
“Long enough” she said smiling
“Oh no, not you too” I groaned, as they both laughed at me “I’m still not going to see him” I said becoming serious.
“I know what he did, and I know how you feel, I get it but please just see him” she said “He asked of you”
“Did you tell him what I did?” I asked Drew
“No, I didn’t” he told me “He just woke up and the first person he asked of is you”
“I’m not giving him the satisfaction of running to him whenever he calls” I said being stubborn.
“You’re just as stubborn as him” Drew said.
“Please sweetie, do it for us not him” Carol pleaded with her puppy eyes suddenly filling with unshed tears.
As I looked at them both, I know now where the doofus got his puppy eyes from.
“Fine” I grumbled “I will see him” They both jumped and I interrupted them “When I want to not when he tells me to” I pointed to them.
They looked at each other, then at me and shrugged. It was weird seeing them act the same way, it’s disturbing.
------------------------------------------------------------
I was standing outside his room, wriggling my hands together, dreading to go in. I know Drew could feel my anxiety, he nudge me and nodded to the room gesturing for me to enter.
I sighed, I have no choice but to go face him, and then I entered.
