point of no return

chapter 12

The headache I felt as I woke up in the morning was terrible,I couldn't open my eyes because of the pounding that always follow every attempt,as I started processing the environment I am, I noticed I was lying on my bed, and was hearing sound of someone washing in the kitchen,I tried to get up,but the pounding came strongly,ahhh!, I shouted,kasie, thank God you are awake, a voice came, instantly I recognized the voice, shade what are you doing here,there was a little pause as it seems as if my question was a punch, kasie, sorry I didn't call to tell you I would be coming to see you,I wanted to surprise you, shade you shouldn't have come back, probably the alcohol is still much active giving me the boldness to cover up my happiness,yes I was very happy hearing from the woman who had stolen my heart but the reality remains that I shouldn't build castle in the air.

Noticing that she was touched by my unfriendly welcome, I decided to soft pedal,what if something had happened to you while waiting for me till that late hour ,what was even the time,I asked myself,1:25am,she helped me, imagine,I added,kasie I had to see you,let me take that as my punishment for not informing you before coming I didn't even know you get such late nights,I quickly cut in , shade you can't see me,you are not supposed to see me anymore,feeling hurt, kasie what has come over you,is this the way to welcome a friend,why are you being hostile to me,what have I done wrong,I have apologized for not informing you about my visit and I glad I came seeing your state last night,while she was almost breaking down in tears I felt guilty but I need to maintain my cover but I decided not to say anything to her as my words were filled up harsh words,the only way to end this conversation is to face my pain,ahh!, my head is pounding,she immediately abandoned what she was saying,rushed to me on the bed,sorry dear,what should I do? she asked crying, honestly the headache was severe as I had to carry my head shouting,I need a painkiller, she quickly jumped down ,looked around if she could find any on the table,I don't think there is any here,hold on dear let me buy one outside I m' coming,she rushed out.

While she was away,I kept rolling on the bed,I couldn't place which was more painful,is it the headache or the angel that I can never have,tears continued to role freely from my eyes,within minutes,she came back with a painkiller,gave me two tablets and water,I took it,she went into the bathroom and came out with a wet towel,she sat down on the bed,carried my head on her laps then placed the wet towel on my forehead,I laid on her laps untill I started noticing some relief and eventually dozed off.TBC
