A Woman Hopelessly In Love - Chapter 19 Feeling Something.
Dr Shirley looked pissed, but she just stood there looking out the window when Alex went besides her caught her by hand and dragged her to the stairs going towards the roof. Alex knew about Michael and her state of mind was quite evident with her tone. He dragged her up comforted her with a hug and asked ” How is he now?” Shirley gave him a look and she thought ‘how does he know me so well ?’. She sighed “his swelling is going down.. EEG is also good. I have reduced sedation today.. let’s wait and watch.”
Alex nodded and asked her ” Have you sorted your feelings for him yet ?” She gave him a stunned look ” Don’t look surprised! I know how much of struggle you have inside of you, regarding where your heart stands for him.” She just starred blankly at him. He responded ” Sort it out, before it becomes more tangled up and that Daniel guy stay away from him.. you are involved with his brother don’t want two brothers to fall for the same girl you see.” Saying that he chuckled and ran towards the stairs to avoid getting hit by Shirley. Shirley on the other hand was fuming and ran behind him to teach him a lesson.
They all had dinner together and went off to sleep. She was lying on her bed gathering her thoughts when she got a late night text message on her phone. She grabbed her phone from her side table and opened it . It was a text from Daniel it said “”It’s not a big deal compared to your help for my brother, thanks for making my day”‘”. .. She didn’t understand it so she replied “” Ok .. but How did I make your day?””. She waited for his reply impatiently. She got restless ‘why is he not replying what does he mean by made his day.. replyyy’. She kept looking at her phone screen and suddenly she became too restless and messaged him again “”” Have you slept?? Why are you not replying?? How did I make your day???”””
She was all furious and she got this weird feeling in her stomach she looked at the time it was 3 am so she thought he might have slept off. He has so much work in the day. She sighed, breathing out and locked her phone and kept it on her side table.
Michael on the other hand was back home from work when he thought of replying to her message, he loosened his tie and messaged Shirley back and then went for a bath. After a while he then came out with a towel tied on his waist,body fully wet ,water was dripping from his hair while he kept drying it with one hand. He got his phone and saw her messages it made him smile and he then replied. Few seconds after she kept her phone it beeped and with in fraction of seconds she got her phone and unlocked to read the message. “” Sorry for the late reply I was having a bath , I was having a very rough day and your message helped me lighten it up. Made me feel happy.””
Shirley blushed unknowingly reading his message and was lost in thoughts imagning his perfect body with wet hair….huhhh…when she was interrupted by the message tone… “” Are you imagining me??? Why haven’t you slept yet? Don’t you have to return tomorrow? Or are you planning to stay back for another day?..””” She giggled at the no. of questions he asked in one message so she thought of pulling his leg “” actually I was thinking of staying the whole week . You can cut it from my pay. And Micheal will be checked upon by Dr George every 3days.”
Daniel couldn’t bear the thought of not seeing her for another day leave alone 1week. It took him 15 years to find her and now as soon he got to see her it was the most awkward meeting ever, his brother met with an accident , she was this rude ,cold Neurosurgeon and she and his brother both have an ambiguous relationship which he can’t understand, on top of that she ran off to her hometown for a tree. It all pissed him off. He replied diplomatically “”Dr Shaw please do know that, you have signed a contract with us and you have asked for holidays only once a week that too weekends. So you have to come back tomorrow to rejoin. Hope you know the terms of breaching the contract”” a villainous smile showed up on his face as he send the text.
Shirley saw the text and all the eagerness, all the happiness just swept away and she replied while grinding her teeth “”” You!!!!…. Huh ! I will fly back tomorrow.””” She locked her phone and placed it on the side table. And went off to sleep thinking ‘ How could he be so … bipolar.’ Daniel received the text and just couldn’t stop smiling thinking of her furious grumpy face. He couldn’t stop laughing at the thought and it just made him more happy that he would be able to see her tomorrow .. finally after whole 30hours..
