Chapter 8

Days passed, Logan and I have become close. We talked and bonded, but we still have a distance, because I don't want to be close yet.

Just like now, we are here at the beach feeling the fresh air and watching sunrise together.

"I'm hungry, Vianne. Let's go home" said Logan.

I give him a glare, but he's not scared at all.

"Later, the sun hasn't gone away"

"I'm so hungry," he said again

"Why didn't you eat before coming with me?" I ask, annoyed.

"Because you didn't eat, so I didn't eat either"

I rolled my eyes. In recent days, I have slowly come to know him. The thing I don't like the most about his attitude is being naughty like now, and he looks like a playboy. All of a sudden he comes to me, and lastly, my most feared about him is his seriousness.

"I'm going home first," he said, then stood up.

"Okay," I said, while still looking at the sun

He walked immediately, so I just focused my eyes on the sky. A few moments later I heard footsteps, so I turned around and saw him approaching me again.

"Oh, I thought you were going home?" I ask.

"I'll just wait for you"

"You're hungry, so go home" I teased

"I can still endure," He said and sat on the sand

"It's up to you, how stubborn you are," I said like a whisper

"What?" he ask

"Nothing"

"Raise your voice so I can hear you. You are so far from me, can't you see?"

"I really meant not to let you know"

"What did you say?"

"Secret" I tease him.

"You're really mean to me--"

He stopped talking when his stomach growl

I laughed softly

"Does the sun really have to disappear before you leave here?" He said.

"Yes, why? Are you against of me?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Tss"

I ignored him and just looked at the sky again.

"I already know how can you feel hungry, "he said smirking at me.

"Don't do anything wrong. I warn you"

"It's not bad, we'll just have fun," he said and motioned me to follow him.

I didn't get up, so he stopped walking and motioned to me again.

"Come on don't be choosy"

I glared him before standing up and follow him. I just followed him until we reached the sea water. The water was knee-deep when we stopped.

"Oh, what now?" I asked waiting.

I screamed in shock when water splashed on my face.

"Oh, My God!" I shout, shocked.

I looked at the man laughing now.

"It's 5:00 in the morning the water is still cold!" I shouted again.

"Ugh! What the heck" I said angrily when he sprayed me with water again.

In annoyance, I turned my back on him and walked back to our place.

"Heyy don't be a killjoy" he chased me.

I ignored him and just walked away again.

I stopped walking when he was in front of me.

I would have turned to his side, but he blocked me on one side I would have turned, but he blocked me again. I was about to move but he spoke.

"When you turn around, I'll hug you"

I looked at him but he just smiled at me "

I was about to turn when he went closer to me, so I was surprised and i step back but when I step back I stumbled because there was a rock blocking it.

I was out of balance, so I fell into the water, so I'm soaking wet now.

"Ugh!" I shouted angrily.

"Ops! I'm sorry you told me not to touch you, so I didn't catch you" he said jokingly

I looked at him badly again, but he still smiled at me

To my annoyance, I sprinkled water on him

"Wait I'm not ready," he said and laughed

I sprayed him with water because I was still annoyed with him. He also sprayed me so we were wet. I didn't know, I was smiling while sprinkling water at him.

**********

"Why are you wearing that now? You're leaving?" a question came to me as I went downstairs.

"I'm doing yoga today"

"Can I join?"

"Okay"

I get the mat and go to the garden in the garden

"Why are you doing yoga here?"

"Because the air is fresh here" I sai

We have already done what we are doing.

Logan was in the garden typing on the laptop and I'm in the living room, reading a book.

"Ma'am, Dra. Sanchez's driver is here."

"Maybe it's the medicine. Take it for me, Hilda"

"Okay Ma'am" Hilda walk away

I just kept reading until Hilda came back

She gave me the small bag she was holding, so I accepted it.

I immediately opened it and saw the note as soon as I opened it.

"This is the additional medicines Vianne. Drink this every day and update me if you feel something different "

After I read the notes. I looked at the medications.

"What is that?"

I let go of the medicine because of shock and rolled it at his feet.

"Shit! You always startle me"

I'm back in reality when I saw that he would have taken the medicine. My move were quick and I took that immediately.

"Heyyy! What's that you don't want to show me?"

"This is my medicine"

"Can I see?"

"I don't want to," I said and walked into my room.

Even though he knew that I was afraid of the man, he still didn't know the truth about why I was like that. I don't want to show it to him because he might know the truth. After all, he is a doctor. When he finds out about my medicine, he will easily know what my illness is.

It would be better for him to know when we get married. I know I'm selfish because of what I'm thinking now but I'm only doing this for our company.

I put the medicines on the table next to my bed.

I arranged my room and I slept for a while.

Nothing much happened today exc6 from the part where we watched the sunset and did yoga after that we became busy.

We ate lunch and dinner together and then I went to my room.

"I will surely drink this Medicine, Mom, don't worry, "I said while holding my phone, talking to mom

"Ok, sweetie, I'll drop this call I have a lot more to do"

I heard a sigh from the other line

"Mom, don't stay up too late, you might get sick"

"Ok, I will, sweetie. I'll sleep well after this"

"Ok, mom, goodnight"

"Goodnight too, sweetie"

I turned off the call and fetched water from the mini-fridge in my room.

I took medicine on the table and drank it.

"Help me ok? I want to be healed" I said while holding the medicine.

She didn't know why Logan was the first to enter his mind when she said that.

*************

It's 6:00 am when I woke up. I went down to the kitchen and saw Logan cooking. I'm not surprised because I see it every day.

He turned his back on me. I leaned on the table just an inches away from him. He didn't notice me yet, so I make myself busy. I wiped the table first because it was dusty.

Maybe he noticed me so he turned to me. I remain bent over wiping the table.

"Good morning" he greets.

"Hmm, Good morning," I said and looked at him.

When I looked at him, I was immediately nervous and I didn't know why.

Immediately I touched my chest. I breathe heavily.

'What happened? Why am I nervous?'

"Are you okay?" he asked, worried.

I force myself to smile "Yes I'm okay," I said and sat down on the chair. I get a plate and get some rice.

I look at him again and ...

'I'm having a hard time breathing. What is happening to me? '

I grabbed my chest again and clung tightly to the table so that I could gain strength.

"Vianne, Is anything wrong?" he stood up from sit

A sound of police serine I heard

My whole body hurt and I couldn't even move

"H-help ..." I said weakly.

I felt tears flow down my cheeks

I felt a flashlight focused on me. I just cried and couldn't even cover my naked body.

'I hate myself now'

"Ahhhh" I shouted in fear

"Vianne!"

"Don't come near me! AHHHH!" I don't know why this is happening to me now but I'm scared.

"Ma'am! Calm down "Hilda walk towards me.

"Hilda take me away from that man!"

"Ma'am just calm down"

"Ugh! Take me away from him please" I covered my ears. I'm dizzy.

"Vianne, talk to me what's wrong?"

"Sir, don't talk to ma'am first"

I just hugged Hilda who was supporting me to go my room, I didn't look back at him when I left.

Upon entering my room. I quickly searched for my cellphone.

I immediately called Dra. Sanchez. My hands were shaking.

"Viann--"

"Doc! What's wrong with me? I was nervous and trembling even though I had never been close to the man. I was okay yesterday-- "

"Wait, Vianne, Calm down. Okay? Calm down"

"I don't know what's happening to me, all of a sudden I'm like this"

"Did you take the medicine I sent yesterday?"

"Yes," I said in a daze. I suddenly remembered that after I took the medicine I was like this.

"Wait, I think it's because of the medicine I took doc. I thought it was a cure why am I acting like this?"

"Vianne that's normal. That's the result because you're just starting to take medicine "

"What am I going to do? I'm nervous and I can't breathe when I see him"

I heard a sigh and I knew it is Dra, Sanchez

I bit my lip and tears formed in my eyes

"As of now don't talk to him first and just keep taking the medicine. Do what I told you before. When you feel like that again, call me."

I wiped the tears that dripped from my eyes.

"Y-yes Doc" I stuttered

I heard a sigh again

"Be strong Vianne. It's the same process years ago, then you need to avoid men even if talking face to face is forbidden"

"I understand doc. Thanks for answering my call. I know you are busy"

"Sorry, I can't go there right now"

"It's okay doc. I will take care of myself"

"Take a rest first"

"I will doc" I answered and lay down on my bed

Tears kept flowing from my eyes.

It's like I'm going back in my old self years ago. It's like I need to lock myself in my room too.

It seems like everyone is just coming back. All the pain is coming back to me now and it only gets worse every time I think of Logan.

"I-I'm so tired" I was just here in my room crying

And as always...

'I feel alone'
