Three Hearts

Chapter13

“Let me”- I said to her when I see her struggling on putting some ointment on her wound

“Are you sure this is the right way on cleaning and gunshot wound?”- I ask her that because I am still worried that it may cause infection

“Yeah, actually I could just pour some vodka directly to the wound and put a gauze and tape it”- She said and laugh a little as she was saying that

“How can you take it lightly, you got shot. You might need some stitches for this”- I know I sound frustrated as I was saying that but I don’t think I am in the wrong position on arguing this time

“Okay, okay. To ease your worries tomorrow morning the moment I woke up, I will go to the hospital let it check and mend it properly”- She raise her right arm after saying that like she was saying an oath in front of me, and I look like stupid while watching her saying that

“Now you are smiling, do I look funny?”- She ask me, actually I am not yet done on mending her wound

“Ahm no. Can I cut the sleeve of your shirt, it was on my way on cleaning your wound”-I said to her because for some reason I can’t really see the wound or how big it is because of the sleeve of her shirt

She didn’t say anything but stood up from where she was sitting and started to removing her shirt. Yeah, she was plainly using shirt and pants, she doesn’t look like she came from the office at all.

“Ahm, can you turn-----“

“Sorry”- I simply response to her and turn around

“Even though you already saw everything to me, I don’t really feel confident of my body”- She added when I turn myself around

“Well, no matter how you look or your figure looks like, I still want you”- I simply said and turn around to look at her. She was wearing a black sleeveless

“Do you want to borrow my clothes? I can lend something to you”- I offered her, I still remember that I have old clothes that is already short to me

“No, it’s fine. I could really go home later after our meeting”- She said and smiled

I continued what I was doing earlier and make sure to cover the wound properly so that, at least for the meantime it won’t be infected. She took her folder that she was holding earlier, the way she take care of that folder looks like her life depends on it.

“Here, can you please give me an advice about this issue”- She started and hand me a folder

“Before I read that folder of yours, can you please explain it, I don’t have the mood to read anything today”- I sound exhausted as I was saying that because I am

“Sorry, really I am. I don’t really want to bother you at times like this but as you can see I am really alone. I don’t have my Dad to instruct me about what should I do and I don’t trust anyone about a certain matter aside from you. You know a lot about this”- She explained to me and took all the papers on that folder and put it one by one on the table

“I am sorry, I can’t really focus at times like this”- I said to her in return, actually I just need food to boost my mood

“Okay, I could wait until your food arrive and then let’s talk”- It brings me back so much memories on how she has a lot of patience on understanding me, even though I was on the wrong she was the one who will apologize. She said she doesn’t want us to argue or fight and hurt each other on useless stuff so she better apologize than losing me, she said to me back in the days.

“Thank you”- She said to the delivery boy outside and hand a payment

“Did I make the delivery boy wait?”- I ask her that when I am already came down from room to change my clothes into a comfortable one

“Don’t worry about that, just have a dinner. It’s hard to go to sleep or work with an empty stomach”- She simply said to me and put everything on the table and put a glass of water and a plate

“Why is it have to be one plate, let’s eat together”- I suggested and put another plate for her

“But-----“

“I order a lot for the both of us. Don’t let it go to waste”- I said to her because there’s one thing I know for sure. She hates wasting food.

She didn’t say anything but she immediately served some food for my plate. Why she is so good to me now, like did something happened to her and I didn’t know?

“Did something happened?”- I ask her that because I don’t know what’s got into her and why she is so good to me, she doesn’t throwing fit and arguing very small detail

“Aside from what happened in the parking lot in your company building, nothing really happened”- She simply said and started eating lasagna

“Is that all for your dinner? I mean I could really use your help after I know your problem and situation”- I said to her. Yeah, I am making an excuse for her to stay longer here in my house with me.

“Don’t worry about me and I could eat while listening to you later. I could do multi-tasking”- Why does she eats a lot faster than I am. She looks like she is always on a hurry on doing something

“You could really call both of their attention, listen to their both sides and compared each situation. After that you can decide what to do with both parties and be reasonable on your decision so that you don’t have any issue after wards”- I said to her after I listen to her problem in her company

“It’s getting late”- She said out of the blue

“You should stay here for a night, so that you could rest after our discussion”- I suggest and cross finger hoping that she would agree on my suggestion

“Yeah, I could stay here in sofa”- She simply replied to me

“I have guest room upstairs, you won’t be comfortable sleeping in the sofa”- I said to her and she just nod to me
