She was quick to park her car at her building’s parking lot. She just wants to rest now. She’s exhausted and tired from all the paper works her dad assigned for her to do. Sarah stepped out her vehicle with her fabulously high heels, her skirt riding up her thighs. Holding her bag, she started walking while trying to remember the rest of the things she still needed to do for tomorrow. She was also worried on how John Lloyd and her dad’s meeting went.
She sighed heavily, hoping her boyfriend was fine.
She was in deep thoughts when she suddenly felt strong arms grab her by her waist. Trapping her…
She shrieked in fear and panic, dropping her expensive bag on the floor.
By reflex, she raised her hand in the air and forcefully spins herself from the man’s hold. Her elbow connected to the man’s face… his cheek… nose… and even his mouth, making him release her. She heard him groan in pain and it struck her. She knows him…
“Fuck!” he cursed wiping his blood from his nose.
“What the hell were you doing!” she yelled, her adrenaline rushing through her veins, her heartbeat fast against her chest.
“I was waiting for you. And I… I wanted to surprise you so… I…”
“Congratulations stupid! Wow! Weren’t you thinking at all?!”
He scratched the back of his head and smiled goofily. “I wasn’t” He looked innocent and playful, far from the serious and overly demanding guy from her office earlier that day.
She inhaled deeply to calm herself down.
“Oh my God. You’re bleeding” she suddenly blurted. Only now did she notice.
Lloydie smirked. “You think?” he asked sarcastically.
“Shut up. It’s your fault!” she bickered and approached him. She carefully touched his face “Does it hurt?” she asked sweetly.
John Lloyd was quick to nod. It surprised him… She’s sweet. She’s sweet for heaven’s sake!
“Let’s go to a hospital?” she invited and picked up her bag from the floor.
“No no! I just… uhm… need to lie down a little” he shyly said and Sarah knew what exactly he meant.
“You can’t go up”
He frowned. “Why?”
“Daddy. He’s not too happy with you visiting me here”
He looked away. “I think I’ll pass out. Nahihilo na nga ata ako” he said and brought his eyes back to meet hers “You did hit me straight in the face babe” he added trying to make her feel guilty.
