The Promise

CHAPTER 3

ASHLEY POV:

Her sudden running out of my office twinged me..

How did he die? What would have happened?

Did she really love him this much?

Itz been an year as she mentioned and yet she is crying over him?

My mind started asking me different kind of questions, why was I feeling bad for her? Why i'm having a feeling of pang?

I got up, brushed off all the questions that were going on my mind and ran to follow my patient.

While running i stopped "Did you see any girl coming out of my office crying and running?" i asked breathing quickly and loudly with my mouth open because of all the running.

"Yes Dr.Charles, she went this way" he pointed out the way to the lobby "but whats the matter Dr.__" before he asked anything I quickly ran to an elevator to stop it, i stretched my leg luckily my foot managed to stop it before the doors closed, i went in & quickly pushed the button of the lobby.

What if she went somewhere else? What if she wasnt in the lobby?

But i was sure she went to the lobby as the doctor pointed the way she took those stairs which are directed straight to the lobby..

Meanwhile the elevator stopped and i quickly stepped out of it.

My eyes started searching for her, i ran the other side to find her but there was no sign of her.

"Oh Shit" I mumbled under my breath still running..

I heard quiet sobs coming from far away, i followed the sound and there she was sitting on the floor crying with her arms curled around her legs.

I went up to her and quietly sat across her, she looked at me and said "Go away please just go"

I wasnt going anywhere leaving her in this state, c'mon she is my patient i cant leave her but this was the half truth, something was up with me, something about her was attracting me.

I slowly moved closer to her and wrapped my arms around her, her whole body was trembling and she started hitting me on the chest pushing me asking me to leave her alone but i didnt budge and didnt let go of her, i know she needed someone.

She started getting irate and was hitting me continuously, i tried calming her but to no avail so the next thing what i did is I leaned in and without giving any second thought i kissed her on her lips.

She froze at my sudden reaction, her lips were so cold and soft that i didnt want to stop kissing her at all, i wanted to remove all the pains from her life, i wanted to make everything right for her.

I slowly licked her bottom lip waiting for her to stop me or to slap me but she was just sitting there frozen in my arms clinging to me, i then kissed her full taking her lips into mine.

Suddenly She moved backwards pushing me and slapped me hard on my left cheek believe me i saw all the stars infront of my eyes like how they show in cartoons.

I composed myself and saw she was looking at me with so much wrath and hatred then she stepped into her car and drove fastly out of the building.

I was standing there like a looser not knowing what i did and why?

Then a thought crossed my mind "what if she does something to herself?"

it was a chagrin feeling that was hurting my heart..

I quickly ran back to my cabin, took her file and found her address.

Call me a maniac or a stalker but i was going to her house to make sure she is okay, i know i'm sounding more like a stalker than a doctor but her safety was my main concern.

I grabbed my keys from my desk, rushed to the lobby to my car and started off the engine without buckling my seatbealt, i guess i was speeding way too faster as a police car was chasing me.

I breathed out a sigh, cursing under my breath and pulled my car..

An officer came by my side asking me to roll down my window "Do u realise you are driving off the limits, you could kill someone"he said angrily.

My eyebrows were curled "I'm sorry officer but i've an emergency, i will be carefull next time" i said handling him my license.

He grilled me for ten more minutes then lastly he let me go with just a slip and a fine of sum dollars.

I drove to her house and pulled into her driveway.

My hands were all sweaty so i rubbed them on my denim jeanz, i was nervous.

What if she was at home and lash out at me or kick me where it hurts badly?

what if she wasnt at home and something happened to her?

I wished former should be the case not the latter one.

I went up to her door praying she answer the door.

I rang the door bell and stood there waiting for someone to open the door but no one did.

I then knocked the door again no one came.

A feeling of helplessness splashed me, i turned to walk away and suddenly someone called from behind me "who's there?"

i turned and was hell shocked to see a woman standing infront of me..
