_hey Dora !_......came a familiar voice....I turned in hope of seeing the caller
No one was there.....
_Dora !_......came yet another call from the same tune.
I turned ...... it's chivy calling.....
She had invited me for dinner two nights ago.....and I had promised to meet her up.
I promised to assist her in getting her company's presentation ready !_what are you thinking of?__ have been calling you non stop from afar.
___ohhhh sorry Chivy....I know I made you a promise......trust me I will see to it__
___well ma'am you said today??? Remember???..... I've been patiently waiting for this day___
Dear shall we??? Choose a restaurant !
Dora ma'am.....you seem lost..... it's ok ...you can go rest fo awhile.__i'm ok....I said with a smile I could muster.
We got to the restaurant and I was lost in thoughts.....
I went further to placing an order ....
We spoke for awhile and I wrapped up everything....then dismissed her.Thank you for your assistance ma'am____ I will be grateful always....
She said as she left the restaurant.I stayed by as a bottle of whiskey....turned to bottles......I could feel the earth rotating.
____gosh !... I had to meet up with Seb...and it's 8:00pm already___
Perhaps he has left that place ....
Still something made me uneasy.....I struggled and finally got a taxi to take me to REKNOK restaurant.
It was very quiet and peaceful in there.....
I couldn't see Seb anywhere....
Maybe he left after I didn't show up !
I might have hurt him !
I tried calling his line ......he didn't take any of my calls
I had to leave the restaurant......
Where to????
You've just arrived !......came an unfamiliar male voice....In an attempt to leave the place.....
Huh????......I turned to see who it was......
There stood a man on black and white sleeves with an apron wrapped around his waist.......
Obviously a waiter !____he has been waiting for you over 3hrs now____.
Excuse me who????Mr Sebastien......he said
Over there !....he is waiting....he said pointing to a directionWhat???__why would Seb wait for me????
This is weird.....and obviously unlike him.
I walked down to the room he had directed me to.....
___no one is here !___
Why did the waiter lie to me.....Hey Dora....take a sit.
That's definitely Seb I said as I turned to him.
SEB !____
I'm sorry I'm late !
It's ok dear .....____he said giving out a smile
I was thrilled a bit...by the fact he acted normal....or perhaps he noticed I was drunk????
His beard looked perfectly trimmed......
You're looking great !.....I said.
If it was the alcohol acting up or me misbehaving I couldn't differentiate.
_you aren't looking bad either___ he said.
So tell me what would you like???_____water !..._
Just water???.......
Yes Seb just water.....
You don't seem ok......
_nooo I'm fine Seb....just mood swing__Really???....you seem drunk !
Me??? Drunk??? No Seb.... I'm fine....I quickly replied to cover up myself
I had hardly taken a drop of water when I threw up on the table.....____i'm sorry Seb !__
I'm sorry !
It's ok.....have some water !
__Restroom!__ I said as I staggered to the ladies room
After washing my face and mouth with water I felt a bit better.....
Seb was right there..... waiting patiently for me....
Obviously he couldn't leave me behind.....he was definitely scared I might get into trouble.... seeing I wasn't in my senses.
__Sorry about yesterday.....and I'm sorry about earlier ___
It's ok Dora....I understand what you're going through.....but why drink so much....what exactly is the issue with you.....
He held my hands and said.......
I've known in such short period.....this is Definitely not you....
Why all this???
Look Dora !.... I'm willing to help you with this....
___i raised my head___ really??? Seb???_____i asked feeling excited
__yes Dora....but please.... don't hurt yourself like this.... don't ruin your life like this.
My face quickly changed from excitement to pity.......
Seb....but your girlfriend....
I'm sure she won't affirm to this.....
I've met Seb's girlfriend during my visit to the park.....she obviously wasn't someone to toil with....
She looked classy and obviously came from a wealthy home.....
Seb....how do we make her understand????..
I wouldn't want to be the cause of a long engagement breaking off.
Calms Dora....
We aren't letting Laura know a thing !
But....but Seb
"Shhhh....." He said covering my lips with his index finger.
Chill babe....we will quickly wrap this up without anyone getting hurt.....
"Ummmm...Seb.... thank you so much....I don't know how I can eve repay your kindness.... taking this risk for me....is ....."......
Come-on you are way too drunk to go home alone.....I will drop you off at your place.....
"No Seb...I will manage"......I replied as I staggered towards the door."_ Dora please don't be stubborn !.....keep this stubbornness for another day...."....I will drop you off he said.
As I carried me off the ground into his car.....
He dropped me at home and took me right inside.
_thanks Seb....I owe you !_ I said as I walked down to my room.... Goodnight Seb.
I waved him goodbye and he drove off.....
it was way too late....I insisted he spent the night at my place but he refused.....
