But Why So Soon? Chapter 14 – Story

The wheels squealed as I finally parked my car outside Aunt Mary?s house. Bubble eagerly looked at me and his tiny paws seemed better. I changed his bandage and his infection was also sort of ending. I dragged my mom?s wheel chair to the main entrance door and rang the door bell. The sun shone more than my head and I felt sweat tingling the nape of my neck. My loose tee and denim shorts felt wet as if I had washed them couple of moments ago. My heart was thudding as I was still thinking about my date last night. I could still feel his gaze more than my body and I could still see his intriguing eyes soaring into mine and his smile that would take my breath away.

“Hey!” Uncle John said snapping me back to reality.
“Hi!” I replied having a smile. I had made a rough bun but couple of loose strands had been still glued to my neck because of ever increasing sweat. It?s a great thing my sweat doesn?t smell I thought as I hugged uncle john who hugged me back.
“Sunny day eh?” He asked laughing lightly as he saw me dripping sweat.
“Couldn?t agree a lot more.” I said as I stepped inside and uncle john carried mom inside as well.
The room was filled with all the smell of freshly baked muffins like usual. I saw Aunt Mary sitting on the dining table eating muffin and drinking her orange juice.
“Sweet heart!!” She said as soon as she saw me. She flied to me and gave a huge hug. I hugged her back, smiling.

“So?? How was the date?” She asked as a naughty smile appeared on her face. I laughed in the sudden change of her expressions and she laughed as well.
“It was?” I thought for a moment about everything and suddenly I felt as if he was still with me and made my heart beat harder against my rib. I felt as if there is a wood pecker inside my ribcage and it hammers my ribcage every time I think about Jonathan. I felt no words to explain what I felt because everything seemed to be out of the world.
“It was like a dream.” I completed because all I was left with had been dreams. The reality was harsh and when some thing very good happened with me, it felt like a dream.

She just smiled and took me to the table and I seated myself subsequent to her. I could see the little bump on her tummy. She has another life right inside her and she loved it to bits. I smiled because I felt very happy for her. Aunt Mary was very kind and I loved her to bits and I prayed God to give her every joy she deserves.
“I met Sam yesterday. She is such a nice person. I am so glad that you’re friends with her!” Aunt Mary said and I agreed as it was the most obvious fact. I drank the orange juice in silence, trying to enjoy its flavor but it was just slurry.

“Sorry for the juice… your uncle John made it.” Aunt Mary said and it made me laugh.
“I did it so that my wife could rest!” He said kissing lightly on her lips and it was obvious that they wanted to have a long lasting and deep kiss but they avoided it taking in front of me.

I shifted my gaze towards my feet which and took another big gulp of orange juice. I drank two glasses and it fulfilled my thirst. I was sure that Aunt Mary and Uncle John enjoy my mother but now I was realizing that Aunt Mary is pregnant and it must be very difficult for her to appear out for my mom and bubble. I got tensed as another problem added to the bundle of problems I was already carrying. I should arrange a nurse for mom I decided but it will require money and I lacked it big time.

I wished them great bye and finally reached the black diamond. Rachael was sulky like always. I did my work with all the attendance gadget and went to kitchen without greeting her because she in no way replies and I was tired of being nice with her.

I felt nervous and excited simultaneously as I looked around kitchen for Sam. For the moment all I could think about was Jonathan. He has got me going crazy I thought as I still deep inside wished to be with him alone just like last night. I felt as if I will throw up and my stomach was also upset because of whole nervousness and weird feelings I got whenever I saw Jonathan.

“Elena! Here!” I heard Sam?s voice, who seemed to be struggling with her heels. I ran to her and we both went to dressing room. I could see excitement plastered all more than her face. I didn?t know what this excitement was about. Was this about the date or one thing else? I thought as soon as she faced me.

“Okay till now this is a secret!” Sam said in a whisper, her hazel eyes scrutinized the room. I nodded and smiled simultaneously. Was it about Jonathan? I thought but then I got angry at myself for keep thinking about him. But the fact was: he was everywhere. Literally everywhere in my mind just like some sort infection which is just starting to tighten its grasp. I focused on what Sam was saying but my mind kept on drifting away.
“Ok the thing is only 3 waitresses are selected from this hotel from the whole chain for serving on the cruise of *Black Diamond* and it’s Elizabeth, you and I!!” Sam said as her voice got higher.

“What?!!” I said as for the moment I couldn?t believe the words that flowed out of Sam?s tiny lips. I was bewildered a lot more than surprised because I just joined this hotel and they are ready to send me to a place which other waitresses dream about.
“Yes it?s a whole week trip, starting tomorrow and the best part is that we will only have to work only during the morning and YOUR Jonathan will be there!!” Sam giggled and carried on “And I have got another amazing news for you. They are doubling your pay as you might be now working whole day, not just part time!” Sam said and now she was loud sufficient that people around us could hear us.

OMG! I thought as I happy danced with Sam. I couldn?t believe my luck. It was too very good to be true. For a moment I felt tears in my eyes because I loved the way things had been sorting out but now I saw another hurdle in my way. I couldn?t leave my mom at Aunt Mary?s place and especially not for night as it requires her special bed.
“I can?t go to the cruise…” I said suddenly gripping the reality. I was tired of this life and now it just got harsher.
“But why..?” Sam said as she too was snapped back to reality.

“Aunt Mary is pregnant and she is doing a lot a lot more than she should. I don?t have sufficient money to hire a nurse. I know if I ask her she would by no means say no but I care for her a lot more than anything?” I broke as I felt tears stinging my eyes. My voice got heavy as I thought how my mom managed everything whenever I planned to go someplace. I felt so fragile at that moment that I wished to die and be with my father and tell him how much I miss him and how much I want all my worries to vanish away and how much I desire to follow my dreams. Sam immediately hugged me and I silently cried. I was so tired of crying but I always ended up crying. I always ended up with situation controlling me.

Later when I realized that I was feeling better I told Sam everything about my date with Jonathan and poured her in using the minutest of details. She said ?awwws? and ?omg? and ?how romantic? at several places and it made me laugh and it did brightened up my mood. Later in middle of my shift I got Jonathan?s message which said that he?s out on work to another island near Hawaii and I replied back the first thing came to my mind and it was ?ok?have a nice time working and take care? and he replied ? I will =)? and suddenly I felt blissful and felt like dancing.

Sam and I worked till four and got our breaks. Aunt Serene called me and Sam to her office. I went sedately inside and took a seat subsequent to Sam?s.
“So ready for the big trip tomorrow?” She asked happily. I could see Sam?s sad eyes and she shook her head.
“What? I mean why?” She asked confused as to her, she couldn?t see any apparent reason.
Sam told her everything and I got a mad at her as she said that she was not going herself because she didn?t want to go without me.

“No! Sam You will be GOING!” I rebuffed as I felt anger fill my voice. She ignored me and she kept on telling Aunt Serene about how I require a nurse and all the stuff. To my surprise Aunt serene seemed to be nodding at whatever Sam said and her face was not twisted in worry but it seemed as if she is thinking about one thing.

“Elena… I have a solution to your problem. The policy of this hotel is to serve the employees of this hotel and by hiring a nurse to your mom will be one of them. And I can guarantee that you will get a nurse to appear after your mom by tomorrow!” Aunt Serene said happily and I couldn?t believe what she just said. I without even realizing I broke into tears of happiness and then I immediately wiped them away and hugged Aunt Serene. She hugged me back using the very same force I hugged her. Sam hugged me from behind as a smile covered her face.
“EEeeeppppsss!” Sam squealed and laughed again “Yay!!” She hugged and jumped in the identical time and I laughed with her.

“I am very thankful to you!” I said to Aunt Serene who just smiled and then she said that Jonathan should be the one I should be thanking as he made all the policies and stuff. When I was done at ten, I went to the dressing room and changed. I finally went to the reception and was moving in high speed. My hair fell on my face as I was running towards exit when suddenly I smelled my favorite smell. I smelled Jonathan and I halted right in the spot. He just entered the hotel and I guess he saw me. Suddenly I felt a hand on my waist and I slightly looked up and saw Jonathan standing right subsequent to me. I closed my eyes as I took his scent in. He was dressed in an expensive suit like he is always and then I felt his breath near my neck. I smiled as for the moment world seemed to fade away. One thing warm glowed inside me and it was so lovely that it took my breath away. I was so much in adore with him that I wanted to kiss all his pain away and by just being near him made all the pain fade away and I feel as if I am the happiest person.

“I missed you.” I heard his hushed whisper; his sexy voice was driving me to insanity. I turned around and my heart was pounding so quickly that I felt my ears grow red and I felt myself on fire.

“I missed you too.” I whispered back and I looked into his deep blue eyes which glowed with affection and really like. They seemed so warm that I just kept on gazing in them. His lips had been stretched in a smile and I felt him raising his free hand and he touched my neck lightly. I felt my hands moving upwards, towards his face and I just let them move. I wanted to feel him, to touch him and I did. I touched his lips with my small fingers which I hated whenever I saw girls with long fingers and stunning manicured nails. He didn?t move instead I felt him hold my waist tighter with his other hand.

“Ehemmm?” I heard Caroline who looked at me with surprised expression. I didn?t realize she was there and I suddenly backed off and bit my lower lip.
“Sir we have another meeting in five minutes so I think we should be leaving.” Caroline said as I felt bitterness dripping by means of her voice. She seemed pretty like always and her long hair seemed way better than mine. She was holding a file and her long fingers seemed gorgeous as her manicured nail shone under the gold light.
Jonathan looked sad and disappointed but he nodded.
“Bye.” He said as unhappiness filled his voice.
“Bye.” I replied and felt myself on verge of tears.

Whenever I was near him, I felt so happy and whenever he left, I felt so alone. I wanted to stop him and I wanted to ask him to stay realizing it was in no way going to happen. I closed my eyes and felt agony take hold of me. He left and I felt extremely sad. I ran to my car and couple of tears spilled out.

I drove to Aunt Mary?s place and I placed on a fake smile. I rang the door bell and then I heard Bubble?s bark. I felt so happy understanding that someone is waiting for me let alone a dog. Uncle John opened the door and I greeted him having a kiss on his cheek and he hugged me hard. Aunt Mary was busy watching T.V and as soon as I approached she turned off the T.V and kissed my cheek.

“Sweet heart how was your day?” She asked as she herself looked tired.
“It was pretty very good!” I admitted and then told her all about the trip and also told that I have managed to get a nurse. Aunt Mary at first seemed pretty upset realizing that I wouldn?t be visiting them every day and also realizing that she won?t see mom and bubble often but finally she smiled. She by no means showed me how difficult it was for her to manage mom and bubble but she still did that. I kissed her cheek and told her about how thankful I am and she kissed my cheek back and then she told me that she loved me a lot more and we fought playfully on who loved much more so in the end Uncle John said that he loved the most and we laughed hard. I took my mom and bubble home and immediately started packing. In an hour or so I was done packing and by eleven I also cleaned up the house as now it has been days because I cleaned up. Laundry was to be done so I did that and by twelve I was done with everything. I jumped in my bed and closed my eyes. Bubble ran to me and sat subsequent to me. I felt excited like anything and it was after one when I finally slept.
