Visitor from Last Night

Chapter 9

Hi kitties

Alicia

"Uhh... I am exhausted." I said and sat on the chair and Sam looked at me weirdly.

"Didn't you get any rest on your holidays?" She asked, and I shook my head, and she looked at me with questioning eyes.

"I was playing with Romeo till midnight and after that one hour I had to go through my books. All day I was working to the point of getting exhausted. I think I need one more week's leave."

"Who is Romeo?”

“Oh shoot! I was so excited after having him that I didn’t even mention it to you. When I went to the park last time, I found a golden retriever there, and I immediately adopted him.”

“It is weird to find a golden retriever in a park.”

“Yup, I know that. I had also given it a bit of thought but then dropped it.” She chuckled.

“No doubt that you would be exhausted. Take care of yourself and get proper amounts of sleep. It would be bad if you were tired over and over again.” I nodded and yawned again.

"I will take care of that from now on. But first, I have to complete my work. I will be taking an early leave today."

"You had better sleep on time, Alicia."

"I will. I have to be healthy for the upcoming assignments and exams." She nodded with a smile and went away. I also stood up and wore my dress and started to do my work as I wouldn't be getting any money if I didn't do the work. So in order to get paid I have to do it and I also have to pay the fees.

"Alicia, are you busy?" I heard my coworker’s voice and I saw her coming towards me.

"No, do you have any work for me?" I asked and she nodded.

"There is a customer who wants to get served by you. Ivory has already fulfilled his order, you only have to serve." I was confused at first, but I nodded and took the dish to the table she told me about.

I was very confused at that thought. I have been living over here for 2 years, but I haven’t gotten close to anyone in my neighborhood. I don’t even think that many around me know that I am working over here as a waitress. Then how come I have been asked to serve someone?

I was praying in my heart that none of my family knew that I work over here, and I really didn't hope that this time it was Alfredo who might have seen me the other day. But to my surprise, no one was there whom I was expecting, but it was William himself who was looking outside the big glass window.

"William, it is really nice to see you." I said, and he looked at me and smiled.

"It is really nice to see you too." I smiled when he said that.

"How are you doing?"

"I am doing fine."

"Why don't you treat your scar?"

"Maybe because I want to remember someone forever in my memory."

"That person must be very special."

"Yeah she is. She is just like my daughter whom I have longed for."

"It is really nice to see you happy."

"Your time must be very precious. Please go ahead with your work."

"I will surely do that, and please do inform me if you will need anything."

"I will surely do that." After that, I took my leave from there, and I met Sam, who was having a very weird face all over her face.

"What happened?"

"Why were you so friendly with that man? Do you know him?" She asked

"I can't really remember, he told me that he has known me since I was born and one time I had also helped him, but I really can't recall it." She shook her head.

"Your stories just shake my mind. I don't want to talk about this any further, but I want to do my work." She went away after that and I chuckled.

Sometimes I feel like she is my mother who wants to protect me, and sometimes I feel that she is younger than me, but whatever it is, she is one of the crazy friends that I have. I was soon enough done with my work and, as I had to leave early, I was ready to leave the shop and went home. I picked up my phone and called Brandon. He picked it up after a few rings.

"Hi. Are you done with your work?" He asked, and a smile came over my face. I know that I really like this person, but I can't tell him because he already likes someone else. I wish that person was me.

"Yeah, I am on my way. You are at home, right?" I asked him.

"No, I am at the park nearby. Come and join me."

"Fine with me." I hung up and went towards the park. I am very excited about meeting him. How I wish that we could also have a love story and if I was still in that mansion then dreaming about this would be impossible. I couldn't even share my thoughts with my mother, who had advised me most of the time, instead of letting me talk to my father.

Sometimes, when I think of those days, my anger boils. Sometimes I want to go back to the USA and demand an answer, but realizing that they have disowned me always stops me. I just hope that I never step foot in the USA, because that is a curse to me.

I was very near to the park and started to look for Brandon, and soon I discovered him as well, but when I found that he was talking with some girl, my anger boiled. I wanted to tear them apart and take him away from there, but then I realized that it might happen that she is the girl he was talking about or maybe not. I think I will come over here in a few minutes.

I had turned around and was about to go when I heard the bark, and I was well aware of this bark. Romeo had already seen me.

"ROMEO!!" I heard his voice and Romeo sat up beside me and I knelt and started to pet him, and he was wagging his tail happily.

You have ruined my plan, Romeo. I was crying internally.

"Alicia, you are already here. Were you about to go?" I stood up and looked at him and shook my head.

"No, I was looking for you only, but I guess that Romeo found me first." I said with a smile.

"So this is that girl." I heard a woman's voice, and she came into view and was glaring at me, and I was confused.

Excuse me miss, did I steal something from you that you are glaring in my way?

I wanted to say that to her, but I felt Brandon's arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer, and I gave him a look, but he wasn’t looking at me but was looking at the girl in front, with a smile.

Why do you have to show such a cute smile to everyone?

"Yes she is." What are they talking about?

"I wish it was me, but do call me when you are free."

"I hope that day never comes." She was irritated and glared at me before she went away.

"Who was she?" I asked Brandon.

"A stranger who was sitting beside me just to impress me."

"For a moment I thought that she is the girl you like."

"She is not of my type" I smiled a bit.

But if she is not the one, then who has taken your heart?

All those thoughts crumbled down when I heard my stomach growling, and I was embarrassed about it. I heard him chuckling.

"Let's go, I am hungry." I held his hand and started to pull him outside the park.

"Let's eat outside."

"Sure. I would love to eat, and it had been a while since I went out. Let's go." Then we went towards a restaurant with Romeo in my arms. I really like this small family even if this is not for a long period. I really wish that it would remain like this only.
