Marrying a billionaire

CHAPTER 13: FRIEND

I fluttered my eyes feeling so heavy. My head was spinning around and I think I'm gonna throw up. I forcedly walked inside my bathroom and puked in the bowl. Woah! This is gross! I splashed my face with cold water hoping it will lessen my headache.

I took some aspirin and climbed back on my bed. Gosh I feel so heavy like the world is on my shoulder.

I took my phone from my desk beside me and called up Sandy to ask her to be my reliever for the day. "It's okay Athena. Take a rest. Anyway, why didn't you tell us you're goin home last night? Were worried about you, you just disappeared." She said in a worried tone.

Actually, I can't remember anything about last night. All I can recall is Liza and I got our ass drunk and we got wild on the dance floor. After that... blank!

"Oh Yeah sorry about that. I just suddenly felt sick and I can't find any of you..so I left." I said lying.

"It's okay. Anyway our boss's suitor is here again." I heard her growl from the other line. Sam is there again? She's quite an admirer huh?

"Oh wow. So persistent!" I replied with a fake laugh. I don't want her to hang around with William. I'm a bit jealous about her. He never said anything about her before. Maybe she's a very special girl and it makes me feel insecure and jealous.

"I know right! Ugh!" She said in a pissed tone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After our conversation, all I think about is William and Sam laughing. It pisses me off so much.

I hugged my pillow and in an instant all my worries fade away as I drift from a deep sleep.

When I woke up, I feel a little bit better. I went to the kitchen to find some food. My mother went to my brother's house to help them prepare for my niece's birthday. Right! I almost forgot about that.

I decided to go to the market and buy some groceries. Since I'm not in the mood to eat outside, I only wore short shorts, black hoody jacket and rubber shoes then drove off.

Just as I'm about to go to the cashier, somebody called me up. "Athena?"

I turned around and saw Sam looking as shock as I am. "Athena it's you. Oh! It's good to see you here."

She walked over to me with her Oh so sincere wide smile. Why does she seemed to be so friendly to me?

I smiled back at her but I did not  respond. "I heard you were sick. I'm guessing you're feeling better now?" She said. How did she found out that I'm sick? Oh Yeah right. Sandy.

"Yeah! I-I'm feeling a little bit better now. I just bought some foods to cook." I said pointing on my groceries.

She smiled genuinely at me. How can she do that? "That's great. You know William is so worried about you." She replied sounding so sincere.

He's worried? Really? It only mean he still cares for me. Oh! Athena don't flatter your self easily.

"Oh..." the only word that came out of my mouth.

She laugh and said "I like you. I think we could make good friends." She winked and looked at me and all I can see is pureness. Maybe I was just judging her too much. And now guess what? I'm smiling back at her genuinely.

"Oh Jace I'm right here." She shouted and waved to William who is shocked seeing me and Sam getting along.

I'm surprise to see him but I didn't mind thinking maybe they went shopping together. I admit I'm jealous but yeah this is all my fault.

William walked over to us looking straightly into me. I feel awkward.

"Hey I uh...i think I'd better go now, I'm a little bit starving already." I said lying to sam cause the truth is I don't want to see them together. It hurts me.

Sam turned to me and asked me to join them for a dinner later.

They're going on a date? I mentally asked my self frowning. I don't want to interrupt them, though I want to know what they'll be doing.

"Oh i-I'm sorry but I'm still not feeling well, so I think I should go home." I said still not looking at William.

"You should. Please take a rest Athena. You looked so pale." William stepped in, in his worried face and checked me out.

I'm surprised to hear that he's still worried about me. I thought he doesn't care about me anymore after our argument.
