"Finally you are awake," Leo said,
"What happened?"
"We had a small accident. You hit your head and went unconscious. Sorry about that. I got so pissed about her that I didn't see the car in front of us."
"It's okay. Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
"I`m fine. Don't worry. Please don't fire me for this." He smiled.
That smile. Made me feel warm again.
What? No. I can't like him. He is working for me.
"No. Don`t worry. "
"Let me drive you home then."
Finally home. I will take a warm bath and try to relax. I took a glass of wine and stood in front of a big window. I had a beautiful view of the city. Night lights are so beautiful. It already feels like home in here. Thankfully my parents bought this apartment for when they get to retirement. Mum decorated every single corner of the place in a modern way with a touch of the old style.
I remembered Leo. I had so many thoughts in my head.
Why do I feel like I have known him for a long time? Why did I have that dream with my parents when I was unconscious? WHY MY HAND WAS ON FIRE?
I jumped on the ring of my phone.
Joanna.
"Hey, giiiiiirl. How is life in the new place? New people? Some cute guy on the way?"
"Hi, Jo. It's going pretty great. I am preoccupied with work so didn't notice anyone. I'll wait for you to come over so we can check for them together."
"I know you very well. Even when I come you'll find some lame excuse to not go out. But that time I won't accept it and you'll have to go."
"Okay, okay. I promise. I'll go with you."
"Great. I'm off to sleep. I have a big meeting in the morning with Mr. Ray. Have to look perfect. You know how much I am dying to catch him. Good night sweety."
"I wish you good luck. Good night."
Jo. My dearest friend. I know her since we were 8 years old. We were always by each other's side. Every time something bad happened to me she was there to make some jokes and to talk about some new crush or how she forgot to do her hair for school photo day. Thank you Jo.
