Married to the COLD CEO

CHAPTER 4 - FRIENDS

Inside Sebastian's Hospital room, while both their parents were talking, Theresa sat down beside Sebastian's bed and looked at him earnestly.

She then held her hand and spoke softly.

"Hey Sebastian! I know you can hear me. I'm glad your finally okay now. I hope you will wake up soon, so we won't have to worry so much about you especially your mom. Don't worry, I promise to be your friend from now on." Theresa paused as she smiled while she held Sebastian's hand tighter.

"So you better be well sooner so we can hang out sometime before you go to college." Theresa added as she looked at Sebastian.

Soon it was already time for Theresa to leave since she herself needed rest too after the accident.

But the moment she turned around to leave was also the exact same time Sebastian flickered his eyes to open, as he saw the silhoute of Theresa leaving.

"Theresa?" Sebastian softly whispered unsure if it was a dream or reality, but immediately dozed off back to sleep again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Theresa was the one who got discharged first, 2 days after being admitted while Sebastian stayed a bit longer to recuperate.

Theresa wasn't able to visit Sebastian back after she was discharged but before she left the hospital she was able to see him again.

"Sebastian, how are you feeling now?" Theresa asked as she sat down on the chair beside his bed.

"Be-Better, I think." Sebastian paused and looked at Theresa shyly. "H-How about you?"

"I am good. Actually I already have clearance to go home today." Theresa answered excitedly.

"Oh- I see."

"I came because I wanted to check if you are okay already and I also wanted to bid goodbye." Theresa paused as Sebastian's mood suddenly changed. "I mean for now, but I promise to see you soon though when you get discharged." Theresa added happily as she grinned widely to Sebastian making him smile at her.

Sebastian did not answer directly but instead nodded.

But before Thereas was able to leave, Sebastian finally asked her what he has been meaning to ask.

"Theresa?" Sebastian asked as Theresa gave her a questioning look.

"Can I ask you something, if you don't mind."

"Of course, go on."

"Well, did you came over the other day?" Sebastian asked nervously unsure how Theresa might think or react, she might think he is a freak or a stalker.

Theresa paused for a moment as if thinking.

Then suddenly She looked at him and smiled widely.

"Oh yeah! Actually the moment I woke up, you were the first person I remembered. I got worried when I did not see you anywhere." Theresa answered as she laughed faintly.

"So, it was really you." Sebastian mumbled slowly as he smiled.

"What did you say?"

"Oh nothing. Uhmm- Thank you Theresa."

Theresa then held Sebastian's hand making him open his eyes wide in shock.

"So, I guess we are already friends now right?"

But before Sebastian can answer, Theresa was called off by her mom.

"Oh! I better go now. They are already waiting for me." Theresa spoke as she stood up. "Bye Sebastian! take care and see you soon okay?"

"Bye Theresa. See you soon." Sebastian answered as she waved Theresa goodbye.

-------‐--------‐---------------------------------------------

A week has passed Sebastian have been discharged as well.

At the same time Theresa and Cindy have just settled themselves in their summer camp house, since the both would always go on a 1 month Summer Camp a week after the last day of class. These summer camps always took place overseas, but highly classified and only for the super elites and Cindy have been able to attend most of it because Theresa would always tag her along if she is available, especially now that it would be their last camp since in the next summer they would be busy preparing for college already.

This year's summer camp took place in Country H, a small tourist destination country that is known for their beautiful white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. Every year has a different theme but this year they are taught how to scuba, surf and dive.

Of all the attendees, Theresa is the only one who had a separate place to live. Unlike the others who stayed in a hotel, she and Cindy were to stay on a vacation house away from the hotel. The said vacation house is guarded 24/7 by more than a dozen guards other than her personal bodyguards.

Being the heiress of the Wilson's Corp, threats for her life is always around her the reason why she is not allowed to leave thier mansion without bringing atleast 6 bodyguards.

On one of those days, Theresa was quietly sitting on her balcony while Cindy was busy learning how to swim. When suddenly Cindy took a glimpse of Theresa anxiously looking at her phone.

"Tell me Theresa, what's wrong?" Cindy suddenly came up in front of Theresa as she dried herself with a towel.

"Wrong?" Theresa asked with a questioning look. "Nothing. What made you think something is wrong?" Theresa added as she sneered while she started to get annoyed with Cindy's questioing.

"SEE!" Cindy shouted to annoy Theresa more. "Theresa Wilson! I know you and just by looking at you I know something is bothering you."

Theresa looked up at Cindy as she took a deep sigh.

"Okay fine. But don't laugh at me!"

Cindy nodded as compliance while Theresa narrated what is going on with her.

"Well you know, today is Sebastian's thanksgiving party for graduation and having our parents as bestfriends we are invited to attend and stating the very obvious I can't go because I am here. I asked my mom to give Sebastian my gift to him with my number in it but up until now he still hasn't texted me!" Theresa complained as she pouted her lips while crossing her arms on her chest liek a little kid.

Though Theresa is still indeed a teen but she acts and thinks like a full adult already because of her upbringing and training. So seeing her in a childish act is very amusing.

After hearing Theresa's rant, Cindy broke into laughter making Theresa regret telling her and more pissed.

"You promised you will not laugh! CINDY!"

"Oh I'm sorry but I just find you too adorable. Do you like him?" Cindy answered teasingly while wiping the tears she had from laughing.

"NO! I just feel the need to be friends with him. That's it. Besides I promised him I will visit him but I ended up not being able to because I totally forgot about these summer camp."

"Well, visit him when we get back. Duh! Simple"

"He's going to college, remember?! But I actually don't know yet when will that be. I'm afraid I won't be able to send him off."

"Oh come on Theresa! Do you really like him that much? You'll find a more handsome guy than him! a lot of guys are head over heels inlove with you, why would you settle yourself to him?!" Cindy teasingly spoke.

"I don't like him Cindy! I'm just being friendly and true to my words!!" Theresa answered angrily and defensively while Cindy only laughed.

"Okay okay! Look he might just be busy and might text you later. It's his party, let the man enjoy Theresa."

Theresa did not answer and took a deep sigh as she left Cindy to finish her swimming lessons.

Theresa went up to her room and quietly prayed that her mom gave Sebastian her number and that somehow he would text her so she could personally apologize to him.

"I should have told mom to ask for his number instead." Theresa thought as she lay down in bed and shut her eyes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It went on a few days with Theresa not receiving any messages from Sebastian. She even asked her mom a million times if she gave her number and gift to Sebastian or not and asked her why he still has not texted her.

Cindy on the other hand gave Theresa a much harder time with her teasing and non stop talking about Sebastian.

As Theresa finally gave up the idea of him someday texting her, on one gloomy evening, Theresa suddenly received a message from an unknown number.

"Theresa? It's me Sebastian. Thanks for your gift, I really like it."

Theresa gifted Sebastian a scarf that was handmade and chosen by her personally. Sebastian's name was embroided on the far end of the scarf, it was done by Theresa herself.

Reading the message Theresa immediately sat up in bed and smiled from ear to ear.

"Is this really true? Did he really texted me already?" Theresa thought as she hurriedly replied.

"Hi! I'm glad you like it. By the way I'm really sorry I wasn't able to attend your thanksgiving party, currently stuck here in summer camp which I almost forgot. But this is my last though."

"I know, your mom told me you are in Country H now. Enjoy the rest of your stay there."

"Thanks! By, the way when are you leaving for college? I hope I could see you before you leave."

After a few minutes, Theresa hasn't received any reply as she worried that she might somehow offended him.

"What did I even say that might offend him? I mean what is so bad about asking him that?" Theresa pondered as she browsed back the messages.

After some time as she was abot to doze off to sleep her phone beeped again as she got it and hurriedly read the message.

"I'll wait for you then."

Reading the message, Theresa was happy and excited to go home. Soon she finally fell a sleep with a smile on her face and a question in her head.

"Why does it makes me happy to be friends with him?" With that thought her mind Theresa closed her eyes and fell asleep.
