Upon getting home, I didn't waste anytime at home, never got anything to do there anyways during day time. I believe I should purchase myself a car by now, I have quite some car with me on my account, money won from that betting actually, but anyways, it's still worth it, and I also wish to pay Davis and the other guys from that win, but that would happen only when I come across them again, but until then, I should focus on the situation at hand.
I went to the clinic driven by a cab, upon reaching the clinic, I did the needful, then headed in into the clinic. The moment I caught a glimpse of her, I just stood there staring at her, happiness filled inside me, really happy for having her on my sight again after two long weeks without speaking to her, weeks which does feel like the hardest of all.
She was on her uniform, her pony loosened, some strands now on her face as she focused on getting her patients better, haven't even seen me watching yet. Upon standing up, that's when she notices me, her hands fell to her sides, a book and her pen on different part of her hands as her face was all focused on me, without wasting anymore minutes or minding whether a lot of patients were around, she ran towards me, embracing me so tight like she was never going to let go again, not anytime soon, her hands were across my neck, resting on my shoulders as she was trying to stand on her tip toes, my hands went around her waist, carrying her up slightly in a tight hug, her face was hiding on the left side of my upper chest and her shoulders wasn't steady, more like she was crying, but hiding her face from the view of those around.
Releasing one of my hand from her waist, I placed them on her back, patting her gently, trying to calm her down from her unwavering emotions. “ I missed you....” I confessed to her, making her look up, face leaving the upper part of my chest and now staring right on my face, like she was trying to find whether there were truth in those words I just said.
“ Are you sure?.....”
She asked, like me confirming it again will bring her peace within, I just nodded my head, a wide smile on my face, trying to assure her that I was really happy seeing her here again. With a fresh tear falling down from her eyes, she replied, like she has as well confirmed that I meant those words that left my lips, “ I missed you too....”
At that moment, I know it was about time I seal our getting together again, I planted a kiss on her lips, moved back, stare at her face for few more seconds, before diving in into another kiss, a deeper kiss, one that both of us got lost in.
After she was done with her shift at five in the evening, I decided to take her to a date, to make up for our lost times apart. Even though I really missed her presence, I really know that I had to do that if I have plans on succeeding, she's my distraction, my perfect distraction from the shit life throws at me, and I am really grateful for it, but having myself lost in thought of her, that would ruin my ambitious spirit, my drive, I would just fall too hard to get up again.
Sitting opposite each other, I can't help but stare at the beautiful look of her face, wondering how I Went through all this days without this beautiful damsel in the picture, seems really impossible to think of.
“ You're beautiful....”
I said, I couldn't help it anymore, the words just left my mouth, not that I regret it, but the feelings was beyond me, beyond my control, like I have no control in holding back the happiness washing through me.
“ Yeah, I know..... That's just what your eyes sees whenever I am in the picture...”
I don't really know how that sounds funny, but that really got me laughing, laughing like one who was being caught trying to pull a prank. Eyes traveling to her face again, I held her hand which was on the table.
“ I can't believe that one day I would find myself here, I never believed in love, I've never believed in love, always thought that what my parents have is unachievable, but right now, I can't just explain....” Those words were coming out, like the tank was full and now leaking down, each word escaping from my mouth beyond my control.
“ Me too, I never knew that one day I'll get to see someone who treats me like I am the only woman on this planet....”
Her words struck me, like, wow, did I really do that?, Did I really treat her like someone who can't be replaced?, I didn't know if I was really the one that did that, I don't know how to do such thing, it's beyond me. I was just lost in confusion, realizing that this young lady before me loves me just the way I love her, believing that I can keep her safe, no matter what the situation is.
Trying to hide from such unwavering emotions that I can't control, that's foreign to me, I decided to go straight to the news at hand, “ The trials was a success baby, I passed....” I shared the news with her.
She covered her mouth with both of her palms, eyes wide, she actually doesn't know much about football, but she did know that I was unemployed, and my kind of employment wasn't one you can get easily. There are more better players out here than me, but here I am, having what they could only dream of, a new team and a woman that's meant to build a home around.
