Zander and I look at each other wide eyed. I grab my mask and run into the bathroom.
"Who is it?" I hear Zander call out.
"Hi, I'm just going to check your vitals. Was there anything you need?" I scoff. God this nurse, her tone is hella flirty. When I saw her at the reception she was bitchy.
I guess they both heard me because Zander starting clearing his throat.
"There's just something in my throat. Can I please have some water?"
I can't bear this. It's been a bit over an hour since I've been here. I think I should go. I put my contacts back in.
"She's gone Delta. You can come out now." Oh she left already did she? This is so not the time to be jealous. It's not like Zander is mine, I have no rights over him.
I walk out. "I think it's time for me to leave now."
"What? Why so suddenly? Did I do something?" I sigh. Not you, it was the nurse. I shouldn't be getting mad at him.
"No Zander you didn't do anything. I just want to go back to living my life how it was before this whole thing started." I'm not saying my life was perfect but still I had control over it. I didn't always fear that someone would be following me all the time or they would hurt anyone I associated myself with.
He nodded understanding what I was talking about.
"I know but just please, stay for a bit." His eyes looked pleading. I can stay for a while, I would get notified if something was discovered anyways so I can stay.
I nod. "But you have to try to sleep. I'm sure the doctor said to rest plenty."
We talked for about an hour and Zander slowly dozed off. Luckily no one else came in. Well it's past midnight now. I texted Johnathan a few minutes ago. I should start heading out.
I go to place a kiss on his forehead but I freeze, what are you doing Delta? Don't get so attached that you start having expectations.
These conflicting thoughts are tormenting at times. But then these thoughts are based off previous experiences and countless times they've aided me to cease any mistakes I might make. This time is no different.
I've been let down so many times, I don't know whether I'll be able to take much more. I don't want to have to add Zander to the list of people who've disappointed me. I walk back to the door ready to open when I hear a nurse yell out for a doctor and several people running past the room I'm in.
Seems like there's an emergency. I open the door just a crack and no one is there. About two doors down the hall, I see two nurses and a doctor surrounding the bed and a lot of machines. The patient is convulsing. I try to see who it is but I can't get a proper view. I hope they're okay, I'm just going to go before someone sees me.
The car was waiting for me by the time I got out. Soon we were back at the warehouse. Johnathan kept looking at me as if waiting for something. I'm going to sleep. I'm going to start fresh tomorrow. I need to be awake and alert when I'm searching. I don't want to miss or overlook anything just because I didn't sleep.
------------
Maybe I shouldn't have given my temporary number to Zander. He wants me to visit him again but it's risky. I barely got away with it last time. After I said no the first time, he has called 5 more times to convince me to say yes. Of course I ended up saying yes. He's only in the hospital until tomorrow. To be fair I couldn't wait a whole day either.
For some reason though Johnathan isn't happy with me going back there. He was on the phone this morning and he seemed quite irritated. Apart from that I've checked my office footage and there was someone that; looked similar to the guy from the airport; tried to enter my office. He walked around the entrance where security checks for identification. No one can breach it, due to the fact there there is facial recognition and figure print scanning that is required to get in.
I've seen no unauthorised IP address on the server either, meaning he hasn't been able to hack my office. Firstly I would have been alerted if someone had breached it and secondly it is almost impossible to hack. I pride myself in these things. My office is probably as secure as the prime minister's if not more.
Once again when Johnathan dropped me off he urged me to only go to Zander's room and not wander off.
Though I was barely paying attention because I wanted to see who was in that room. I'll check from the reception. If I remember correctly the room number should be 9.
Private ward, room 9. Huh it's a Melody Crux. I thought it was a male, my bad I guess I didn't actually get a proper look.
Enough distractions, time to see Zander.
"You're here." He said as soon as I walked in.
"I said I'd come, you didn't believe me?"
"I believed you. I'm just happy to see you again." His checks went a little red. Oh god he's blushing and he looks cute doing that.
Just like the previous night we talked until he fell asleep. This time I stayed a little longer just watching him sleep. He looked so peaceful. His forehead smooth, no longer creased by worry. What is it about this man apart from the sexual tension hanging in the air. Maybe that's why I'm so hung up on him. Maybe I should have a fill of this man once and then perhaps I can move on?
Yes that's it. I need to get him out of my system. He's probably the first man that has stuck around for so long without worsening my opinion of men. Which is why this should come to an end, while it's still good.
With that in mind, I head out of the room. Unfortunately I bump into a nurse.
"Oh sorry." I try to leave but she stops me.
"Wait, here take this IV bag. The patient in room 40 needs this changed. I need to fill out paperwork for the new patient we just got." I'm in trouble now. I mean I know how to change an IV bag but what if I don't end up doing it correctly?
I can't refuse, so I take the bag from her. Maybe I could find another nurse and use this excuse on them? I should head there though. Room 40. It's a floor above this one. Stairs here I come.
Unfortunately I didn't see any other nurse on my way here. Seems I'll have to do it.
I knock on the door but I receive no response. Maybe they are sleeping.
I enter and there were so many machines hooked to the person. This looks identical to what I'd seen in that room yesterday. I can barely see the person. It's a male that much I can identify.
I get closer to the bed and I take a sharp intake of breath. My heart started beating so loud that it was starting to hurt my ears.
No. It can't be.
No.
