Chapter 10: Painting

After that night I can't look at Liam just like before, I am so annoyed to him before and now, I am more than just annoyed. He is really a disgusting creature!

He casually went to the hospital just to show his annoying face, which always ruin my day. He also wears that freaking smirk of him. So annoying I badly want to punch him just seein his face alone. I am just lucky enough that Loffy was here to soften the mood.

Dating Loffy is actually a breathe of fresh air, I got to know more about him, all my doubts about him being a bad guy, who only bed women was actually its alter. He makes me believe that he is really not that type of person which makes me amused. I was now slowly, having a feelings towards him. I guess? Or was I just being infatuated because he is giving me the right treatment, or giving me the treatment.

I still don’t know, it is not even my first time, feeling for this kind of love but I don’t know how and what to feel about it, after a big break up that happened to me. I actually wanted to end everything, I want to quit on trying things such as trying to love someone. But Loffy here he is, make me feel the world.

“I want to make a fresh brewed coffee for you,” he said while we were in his office, I smiled at him. Coffee is never a bad idea, I wanted some hmm.

“Do you know how to make one?” I asks him, and he just showed me his smirks. He went to the coffee maker and started to grind some coffee beans, while watching him, there’s a person on my head suddenly flashes. Some high school love that needs to be forgotten.

“Here’s your coffee ma’am,” he said as he gave me an aromatic coffee. Damn the smell feels heaven. I smiled at him, before sipping, and my jaw almost dropped, damn one of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted.

“Oh no!” I said that made him worried immediately he went near me with his worried face I almost laughed at him because he seems like worried that his coffee may not tasted that good.

“Haha only if you see your face right now,” I said as I laugh at him, I am so amused on how he looks like, he was such a worried kid. I continued laughing but I only saw his small smiles.

Monday morning, I was so refreshed as I went to my intern area. Sooner or later we will be done with this, I am looking forward to working in the real field. Getting so bored because there’s no a lot of customers which only means that there are small number of patients, which sounds good for me meaning to say no one or almost just a little number of people are getting sick. I scrolled on my phone and when my eyes already hurts I turned it off and looked around the pharmacy. A certain painting catches my attention.

The painting seems so familiar with me, I didn’t know where and how did I saw this. I just know that this one is part of my memory I don’t know at all.

I am having doubts and what ifs, maybe Loffy is the one who painted this. But why does it seems so familiar to me, I don’t know at all. I looked at Miss Krea who is now so busy, that I didn’t realize that there are patients waiting outside.

“Miss Krea,” I tried catching my proctor’s attention who is now busy doing her charts.

“Yes?” she asked still looking at the papers she is checking.

“Who painted that one?” I ask him as I look at the painting on her table. She take a look at me and smiled.

“Hmm it was Fidel, made by Fidel Loffy’s cousin,” she said and turned her gaze again on her chart.

Oh, I thought it was created by Loffy, I smiled when my thoughts become clear at least I have nothing to worry about. Loffy’s family maybe are into painting, and even his cousin’s masterpiece can greatly catch someone else’s eyes. The painting just speaks a lot and it stimulates the calmness of such a great painter.

“Well, he was once my suitor,” she stops and then puts her palm on her chin kind of thinking “I guess?” she said and laughed before continuing what she is doing.

Today, is just a normal Monday there are a lot of patients maybe because this is a cold season, that’s why the hospital is having a lot of patients. Mostly kids that made me sad. Seeing sick kids and their parents crying when they see their bills makes my heart break. I can also sense it from Miss Krea that sometimes she charged the bill on her account.

“I didn’t know you have a heart,” I teased her when I saw her swiped her own card again paying for the oldies medicines.

“She have no one, her family left her, I actually often see her, I wanted to put her to the care giving center but my dad told me not to,” she said getting sad.

“Well, daddy has a point, it is still expensive but I can’t take seeing her like that,” she said and shrugged. She went out from the pharmacy and went to doctor’s office.

I became the pharmacist today it breaks my heart every time, I saw parents almost crying when they buy the medicines only if I can pay for it, I would do it, but I am just an intern, not yet an employee, soon…

Tuesday afternoon, I went to assist the doctor, we had rotation with my co-interns so now I am the doctor’s assistant. Sometimes this is what I don’t like getting or doing on the job training, we always end up working beyond what we supposed to do, but I can’t decline for their request. I need to do it anyway.

Wednesday, Loffy chatted me, also Levi we need to go to a party, luckily they have the same location so there’s no need to worry which party is which to attend. I checked out earlier than before to be prepared for the party. Levi is such a social butterfly that she had a lot of connections also to Loffy.

We had drinks and almost get wasted. Were in the bar again, I am calming myself trying so hard to make myself not get wasted. I don't want to end up in Liam's condo again. I don't want that thing to happen again. It was awful. I look at Loffy who is now so busy discussing something with Liam. They were laughing which made me think what the heck are they talking about, for them to laught like that are they bestfriends?

While looking at the two who were now busy talking to each other. Levi suddenly made my shoulder as her pillow I just let her, and then I felt a liquid flowed on my shoulders which made me look at her. I was shocked when I saw her crying. Damn, did somebody hurt her?

"Lev?" I asks her and she just cried I tried to calm her down, by hugging her and yes she cried even more the two people who were just sitting if front of us become worried as hell too. They stood up and went near us, worried to what had happened to my friend.

"What happened?" Loffy asks and no one answered, I don't even know why Levi is crying right now, is it about her parents but they were so cool the only problem is her grandma.

"I think, I need to talk to someone, bye," Liam immediately went out of the bar I looked at Loffy and he just shrugged his shoulders we don't know where the f**k that man could go, but I don't care.

I asked Loffy help in carrying Levi until we reached her car. I initiated to drive, Loffy wanted to drive us home but I refused to, he will be at work tomorrow I don't want to be a burden to him, he was a busy man.

"I can handle Loffy, you don't have to worry, thanks for helping me," I said and he just nodded. I drove all the way her condo unit. She's heavy but I still handled and managed to reach her condo unit. I was so shocked when I saw her condo unit so clean. Seems like no one is staying in here.

I laid her on the sofa, as I get some alcohol and warm water to clean her up. While cleaning her the image of me being treated this way by that annoying Liam comes up in mind f**k. Don't think about that i***t!

"Levi," I asked her when I saw her crying again, she is not that drink, but I know she was so drowned to her emotions making her feel this way.

"Ivy it hurts so much," she whispered as her voice cracked. I hugged her as I watch her cry on herself. f**k whoever hurts her I will wring his neck!

I stayed at her condo for a day and didn't went to my internship, Miss Krea is kind to me that she will pass me. After right beside her. Someone picked her up, I even saw Liam at the lobby.

"Hey," he called me, but just rolled my eyes on him.

"Wow, Ivy in the early morning you should be greeting the guests with a wide smile," he said I just made a face to him.

"Wow, I can feel how happy you are this day," he said sarcastically. What on earth is this man doing here in my building?

"What the heck are you doing here?" I asks him and he put his fingers on his chin acting up as thinking he gave me a smile, a fake one.

"I am doing sight seeing," he said and put his hands behind his back.

Seriously? Now he will go out as if nothing, my goodness this man is a freaking annoying and has nothing to do in his life.

I hope this will be the last time I will have interaction with him. This will be the freaking last time, I don't want him anymore, and what the heck is he doing in my life, he keeps ruining everything, every excitement moment in me.

“I don’t want Liam’s presence!” I shouted before I drive my car.
