A Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 9: Seeing Both, Loving One (Continuation)

Cassandra Takahashi Watson’s Pov.

It's been a month since the last time I saw him. His birthday is coming. We have both been busy, especially him. I cannot always call him since he told me that this day is full of his schedule, so I just understand him.

It's already late, and I am still working because I cannot sleep. I am thinking of calling him. I dialed his number until it rang several times before he picked it up.

"Hey, Zack." I heard some noise in his background. "Oh. Hi. How are you?" "Kinda tired but fine. How about you? Are you at a party or something?" I can still hear the sound of music in his background. "I'm fine." He said almost shouting. "I'm at a party right now for my boss." "Oh. What is it about?" He didn't answer. All I could hear was the loud sound. "Zack?" "What are you saying again?" "What is the party about?" "Oh, sorry I didn't hear it carefully. For celebration of the new award of Ms. Smith company." "Nice. Don't drink too much." "Yeah. Why are you still awake, btw?" he asked. "I'm working late. I can't sleep." "You must be sleeping now." "Okay, fine." "Good, baby. I love you so damn much." He said and I smiled at that thought. "I love you too." I hung up the call and turned off my lampshade.

I can't believe what I am seeing. Stephen Hernandez is in front of my house. When I woke up early, I saw his text that he would be fetching me. I thought he was just kidding.

I stepped out my door. "Good morning, Cass." He said as I was close to him now. "Morning." He opened the door for me. "What makes you think of fetching me?" I asked him. "I went to my brother, who is kind of near here, so I decided to fetch you. It might be great." He replied and gave me a smile. " That sounds really nice." I smiled back. "Have you eaten your breakfast?" He asked. "No. I am planning to order a coffee later." He sighed. "Why don't we stop at one of the restaurants first before going to work?" He suggested it while driving. "That sounds nice. Okay, then."

Zachary Lawson's Pov.

After Cassandra called, I was relieved when she believed that I was at my boss's party. I've been working all day and I deserve this clubbing thing.

"Honey, do you want to get more alcohol?" I asked a woman who was sitting beside me. "Sure." She said while smiling and gave me a wink. I walked toward the counter and got more alcohol for her. I went to her and handed her some alcohol. "Thanks, honey." She said, "My pleasure," and sat beside her. I put my hands at her as we continued drinking.

We continued getting wild the whole night until we went back to her place. She was too drunk to drive, so I decided to drive the car.

When I have already put her in her bed, I get a towel to wipe it on her face. She groans every time I touch her skin.

I went back to my apartment early in the morning, so I could still get into my morning schedule in the hospital at it was early. I dialed Cassandra's number.

"Hi, baby. Good morning." I heard her groan. "Morning." She said in a sleepy voice. "Did I wake you up?" "Yeah. But that's fine because I am not planning to get up if you didn't call me." I laughed. "Why?" "I just don't want to go to work right now." "Aren't you feeling well?" She groaned again. "I think so." "You better get up in your bed now and eat your breakfast then you drink your medicine after." "Okay, I will." "Good. I'll talk to you later. I love you." "Okay, I love you too." I hung up the call.
