UNEXPECTED

Yoko

I woke up and I reached to the other side of the bed. I open my eyes when I didn't touch Faye. That's when I remember I slept here at my parent's house and Freen was in the other room. I stood up and saw that it's only 6 in the morning.

I checked my phone if Faye messaged me. she did. She said goodnight. Haha. Amazing. I didn't get enough sleep since I miss Faye. And knowing my body I won't be able to get back to sleep so I decided to just start my day.

I messaged her that I won't be going to the restaurant for the rest of the week and will be staying at my parent's house for the meantime since it's closer to the company. I charge my phone then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for mom, dad and Freen.

After cooking I woke them up so we can eat. Freen on the other hand doesn't want to get up. So, I jumped in the bed just like what we do when the other doesn't want to wake up. I jumped and jumped till I lose my balance and I fell on top of her.

We both laugh and we started tickling each other when we suddenly heard a forced cough by the door. We look at the person at the door and we both got shock when we saw Faye standing there with unreadable look. I stood up and told Freen to get ready cos they'll both be late. Freen nodded and went to the bathroom.

I walked to Faye and kiss her on the cheeks then I asked her why she's here. Cos it's already half past six and the restaurant will open at 8am. She looks like she hasn't slept at all. And her clothes are the same as yesterday. But she just looks at me. Then I wave my hand in front of her face cos she looks like she's on dazed.

Hey, I am asking you what brought you here?

''I read your message. Are you mad at me or something?

I am not. I just need to do something at the company.

''You know I can take you to the company and pick you up after work, right?

I know but I don't want to take too much of your time so I decided that for the meantime I can stay here.

''That's okay with me. I want to be with you.

Just this week. You can go visit your family too.

''I know there's something wrong. I can feel it. Can we talk about it? I miss you. I haven't slept at all cos I kept thinking what I did.

Okay later. After my work in the office. I'll go home.

''I don't think I can work today. I am exhausted. I'll just wait for you at home. Freen can take over my work for the day.

Okay.

I look at her face intently and that's when I notice that her eyes are a little swollen. I can't take it anymore so I hugged her tightly and I led her to my room. So, she can rest. But she refuses to sleep here. She said she'll wait for me at home. Then she gave me a peck. Then walked out.
