Chapter 12: Chapter 12

I was rooted in place when I saw her. When our eyes met, I froze and I can't move. Those eyes, they looks so familiar. I was caught off guard. I'm not sure if she noticed it. I look down to her lips and regret it because I became even more confused. Those lips, a little thick and pouty. I gulp as I stare at her luscious lips. I had this weird feeling of familiarity of it that I have kissed it before. Her lips are a bit parted and I noticed her facial expression. She was shocked. Her eyes widen and her lips are parted in shock. Why is she reacting like this when she saw me? Do we really know each other?

Then after a few seconds I saw pain in her face, an intense pain.

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly but I did not get any answers from her. Instead, she hold her head which makes me conclude she's feeling pain on her head. Her eyes squeezed shut. She was closing her eyes firmly showing that she's in a severe pain.

Thanks God my reflexes were quick. I was able to catch her when she got off balanced and faint. Instead of falling into the ground l, she fell into my arms. She lost consciousness in my arms. It felt so good but it's not the time to pay attention to this indescribable feelings that I feel right now. The poor woman needs help. I shout on the top of my lungs to call for help.

When no one came, I hurriedly carried the lady bridal style and ran towards the door to my office.

"What happened?" I saw Aunt Roberta running towards our direction holding my son with her.

"I don't know, she just collapsed. Did you brought a sickly woman auntie?" I asked with a bit irritation in my tone. I can't help but feel annoyed. Aunt Roberta just brought someone we don't even know. What if this woman is dying or have an infectious disease? What if my son will get infected?

I was caught off guard when I saw my son’s reaction as he saw the lady in my arms. His eyes widen with so much excitement but also worried at the same time. I froze when he called out to her.

"Mama, mama!" My son chanted with a lot of weary in his voice. I was stunned when my son called her mama. But it is not the time to ask. I don't know what happens to her and it freaks me out thinking that I would be in trouble if something bad happens to her in my place.

"I'm sorry son. But as far as I know this woman is a teacher so I believe she is physically fit." Aunt Roberta said with a sad and worried tone. I regret when I tell at her. I should have behaved that way to her. She is like my second mother and she just want to help. She just wants an easier life for me.

"I'm sorry auntie. I will call David" I said. David is our family doctor and my close friend. We are of the same age. He is also my childhood friend and we grew up together. He is like my brother.

Just a few minutes later, David came. I brought the unconscious lady into Aunt Roberta’s room. David and I immediately went inside the room to check the patient. I recall what happened earlier at my office when this lady who is applying as my son's babysitter I was shocked when I saw her. When our eyes met, I froze and I can't move. Those eyes, they looks so familiar. I was looking at her in awe and I was lost for a while. I'm not sure if she noticed it. I look down to her lips and regret it because I became even more confused. Those lips, a little thick and pouty. I gulp as I stare at her luscious lips. I had this weird feeling of familiarity of it that I have kissed it before. Her lips are a bit parted and I noticed her facial expression. She seemed in daze when she saw me as well. Her eyes widen and her lips are parted in shock. Why is she reacting like this when she saw me? Do we really know each other?

When we finally enter the room, I was took out of my reverie when I saw David's eyes sparkle and gave a naughty smile to me. I really want to punch his face at this very moment.

"Woah, woah, woah. Who is this angel lying in this bed?" He said looking at the unconscious lady with desire in his eyes. David is it just naughty he is also a playboy. I was even more pissed off.

"She is an applicant. She applied as Rick's nanny. We had interview a while ago but she just collapsed when she saw me." I said but I made a mistake with my last words because the bastard laugh again.

"Wow, just wow. You really that handsome that a woman faint just to see your face dude?" He said while start checking on the lady.

"I did not mean that way. What I am saying is that, it was the last thing happened. I think she had a terrible headache because she was holding her head before she got unconscious." I explained. David just wiggled his eyebrows while grinning.

This man is hopeless. Sometimes he behaves like he is not a doctor. He continue checking the lady lying at Aunt Roberta's bed. He has a serious face now. At last the crazy David is gone. But I'm sure only for the meantime. I know the lunatic David will be back after a while.

"I really can't figure out why she got unconscious. We need to run some tests to make sure. But her vitals are good. According to you she must have a headache maybe it's because of stress or over fatigue. We need to wait for her to wake up so we could ask her personally." David's long explanation did not make me feel at peace.

"Calm down. She's fine." He said.

"She's in my territory so she's my responsibility and I will not be at peace until I'm sure she's okay." I sighed.
