The Unexpected

Chapter 35

Scarlett's POV:

Waking up the following morning due to the sun creeping in via the windows here inside the suite I groaned to myself, blinking a little as I became adjusted to the fact of being awake. As I reached out to feel Mesut beside me I came to a halt in feeling nothing but the bed sheets I was snuggled up in, no sign of Mesut around me by any means at all. So opening my eyes as I turned to the direction as to where Mesut should be led beside me I noticed that he was to not be beside me after all, the area where he was once laying during the night to show there to be creased bed sheets, causing a severe case of confusion to surround all within me then.

So letting a loud sigh escape from my lips I turned back over to my side of the bed, reaching for my phone which was on the bedside table to see what the time was. But as I did so I was in for quite a shock, as instead of being mid-morning like I expected it to be it had just gone half past twelve, meaning Mesut was bound not to be here for obvious reasons; he was now at the stadium ahead of the game this afternoon in just under two hours. And of course due to how supportive I am with him and his football – have been ever since we became friends to be honest with you – I was not going to miss it for the world, I was going to be there just on time to support my man. But thankfully I was not in a rush, and I had plenty of time now.

But then taking into consideration that I will not be attending the game along for once in my life – I will be meeting Chloe, Karim’s girlfriend with their little baby girl – I guess right now I should start to think about getting ready, as the last thing I want is to keep her waiting and lead for us both to be late for the game. As I know exactly what I can be like whenever I get ready, I tend to take my time over the simplest of things. It is just a habit which I have all of a sudden picked up over the years, a habit of being late even when I had enough time in the beginning. I was like this back at my home in Wales with my mother always yelling at me to tell me to hurry up, and now Mesut is in control over the bossiness my mother possessed.

Not wasting much longer than a couple of second more in bed I soon got up, still now to be having the duvet covers wrapped around me as I went to sit down in front of where my bag lay on the floor beside my bed. Rummaging through it in order to take my pill I soon at long last found the packet, pulling it out in order to take today’s pill. But on looking at the packet I had before me I noticed something, something which caused my heart to skip a beat at the sight of it. There they were, my un-taken pills all where they should be, but yesterday’s one to still be there. In all honesty I thought I had taken it, but with how easily I get distracted in the morning’s it seems I did not take it, it was just there laying still in this packet of my own.

I tried not to think too much into it though, it is not like I have missed another pill all over of the course of this month, so once surely should not hurt. And so I took today’s pill out of the packet, slipping it into my mouth and gargling some water down to swallow it in one with. If I am honest with you there was a part of me which was panicking, but if I have taken today’s one then that should not be too much of a bother, right? Not wanting to make matter all of that much worse I shook my head to myself, wiping the thoughts astray from my mind as if I can make things out to be bad then I am probably just overthinking things ever too much at an early point this morning. And honestly that is a sign that things are not going well for me.

Slipping my packet of pills back into my bag again I replaced them with my make-up bag in my hands, opening it up and producing my make-up inside of it. So once cleaning my face a little I proceeded to spread some foundation over my face, following it in with a tiny amount of blusher to my cheeks, mascara on my eyelashes, and a faint pink coloured lipstick. Once I had finished with my make-up I put it all back in that little bag of mine again, taking out the clothes which I had brought with me and laying them out on the bed in front of me as soon as I had stood up along with some underwear. And in one swift movement I threw the duvet back onto the bed again, proceeding in that moment to change into my fresh, clean clothes.
