Chapter 47: Chapter 47 - Missing Her
"You heard, didn't you? You heard my discussion with Trevor? That's why he was so angry."
"Yes, Sir. I heard everything. That's why I can't be with your son. And why do I have to move on," I said. We just looked at each other as if searching for something to say. What am I supposed to say to him? That I don't want his son? Because that will be a lie. I do want him. But I also want to move on.
"I'm so sorry, Amabel. I think you should talk it out," he said. Was he trying to defend his son?
"Mr. Walker, we did talk. And we're just friends." He smiled at me and nodded.
"Thank you for this," he said, referring to the papers. I nodded and started typing. I needed to start with the contracts. And so I did. I found the logo of the company and pasted it at the top of the page. Hopefully, I know what I'm doing.
As I was typing, I realized that all those times I stayed up late for tests or an assignment wasn't for nothing. Everything I learned, it all came back to me now and I used it in the contract. I'm so thankful that I'm a business student.
"Date of contract". I checked the date on my screen. November, third. It's kinda weird being in such a beautiful office on my birthday. Usually I would have coffee and ketchup on my clothes for my birthday. This is so new. And I love it.
I got up from my desk and knocked on Mr. Walker's door before going in. "Mr. Walker. I was wondering if I can get off early. I would like to see my mom, if that's okay."
"Of course. It's your birthday. It's only right if you spend it with your mom. You can go now if you want, but I will need those contracts by tomorrow," he said.
"Yes, Sir. I'll finish them tonight. Thank you, Sir," I said and smiled. I went out and packed my bags.
"Where are you going?" Ella asked.
"To see my mom. Mr. Walker said I could. Can I maybe take three of those cupcakes, please?"
"Take them all. I bought them for you. So, yeah. Take them. They're yours," she said. I am so grateful for the people in my life. I always thought that I'm gonna be alone. But as the days go by, I realize even more that I'm never alone. No matter what.
I got downstairs and greeted Jessica and Olivia. "Happy birthday, Bells," they said.
"Thanks guys. Enjoy your night," I said and smiled. Caleb opened the door for me and gave me a red rose. "Happy birthday, Amabel. It's not much, but -"
"It's perfect. Thank you, Caleb."
"You're welcome," he said and softly kissed my cheek. I felt kinda uncomfortable, but it was a sweet gesture. He was kind and gentle. And that's what I needed. "Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
I kept walking and got a cab. "Yeah," he said. I got into the cab and said, "Hospital, please," I asked. I watched Caleb waving goodbye to me. I just smiled and waved back.
The drive to the hospital took longer than usual. The driver was so kind, he opened the door for me, so I paid him and gave him a cupcake. "Isn't it for someone else?" he asked me. "Yeah, but it's my birthday and I want you to have it," I said.
I looked at me and smiled brightly. "Thank you, Miss. And happy birthday."
"Thank you, Sir. Have a good night," I said, waving goodbye to him.
I got inside and into the elevator. I stepped off onto the regular floor and went inside. "Hi," Laurel said in a singing voice as she grabbed me in a hug. "Happy birthday, Amabel," she said. I gave her a cupcake and said, "Thank you, Laurel. Is she awake?"
She nodded and so I went to my mom's room. "Hello, Mama," I said going inside. "My beautiful baby girl. Happy birthday sweetie," she said and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you, Mama. I brought cupcakes. Ella kinda made them or bought them, but I couldn't wait to see you." She cupped my cheek and took a look at the cupcakes.
"They're too pretty to be eaten," she said like a little girl. I chuckled and then laughed at her. The expression on her face was priceless.
Trevor's POV
I'm sitting in my office and I have no idea what to do. I can't stop thinking about her. How did I mess things up so badly? I never wanted to hurt her. But my own stupid fears destroyed us. Or any chance of there being an "us". Is it too late? Can I still get her back?
I took my phone and sent her a text:
Me (Today 16:41): Hey, can we go celebrate with some coffee?
I waited for her reply. She didn't answer. Maybe I should call her.
Amabel (Today 17:16): Hey. I'm sorry. I'm with my mom. Maybe some other time...
Me (Today 17:17): Okay. No problem. Can I drive you home?
Amabel (Today 17:20): Uh, thank you. But I have a ride home. But thanks anyway :)
Who the hell is taking her home? Jealousy is such an ugly feeling. I hate it. What if she's going on a date? She wouldn't do that, would she? We just broke up. You were never together, you asshole...
I have to go to her. But I don't want to intrude on her time with her mom. It's not right. So, I decided to go home. I took out my phone and called Jonathan.
"Jonathan, meet me downstairs, please," I said.
"Yes, Sir," he said.
I got into my private elevator and down I went. Flashes of my time with Amabel in the elevator flew past my eyes. Fuck, I miss her! The way she kissed me and the way she placed her palm on my cheek. I miss her touch. I miss her kisses. I miss everything about her. I need her back.
