CHAPTER 22 ~~
Next Day…
Layla spent all her night thinking about Devon told her over the phone about Tristan and Deena.
“There’s no way, that’s possible. Tristan and Deena, how come!” Layla screamed as she stood up from her bed walking around in her room with her two hands on her wai-st.
A beep came on her phone, quickly she picked the phone up and it’s a text from Evan.
~”What are your plans for lunch today? Would you mind going out for lunch with me today?” ~ Evan texted and Layla rolled her eyes and threw the phone on the bed.
Michael barged into her room.
“Dad, you forgot to knock” Layla whined and Michael looked around the room.
“You’re just waking up?” He asked looking at her bed.
“Yes but why are you here?” Layla asked with a blank expression.
“I came to discuss something very important with you so I would take my seat” Michael said and sat on her bed, with his eyes fixed on Layla.
“It must really be very important for you to show up in my room but I’m hoping it’s really important like you said” Layla said and sat on the chair next to her working desk.
“You’re not dating Evan right?” Michael asked lowly and Layla chuckled.
“What! There’s no way such will happen in a million years but dad why are you asking?”
“Nothing, I’m just relieved you’re not really going out with him. Anyways we’re good, you should head down for breakfast” Michael said with a half smile then went out of the room.
“What was that? What’s with the question?”
“I don’t have a good feeling about what just happened…” Layla muttered out trying to put some thoughts into Michael’s actions but nothing was adding up.
Layla picked up her phone and put a call across to Tristan.
********
Deena’s hospital room in Spain.
“Tristan your phone’s ringing” Deena reminded.
“Oh okay” Tristan said and brou-ght his phone out of his pocket.
“Excuse me, let me take this call” He said then walked to the window.
“Hello, why are you calling?” Tristan asked over the phone and Deena kinda slightly hear him.
Is he hiding something.. If it’s a call related to work, I don’t have a problem with him answering the phone in front of me but he’s always away when answering a call. Deena uttered in her head feeling a little uncomfortable with Tristan’s current habit.
But he has always been like this. Why am I suddenly feeling uncomfortable about it? It doesn’t make sense that I’m suspicious of Tristan over this trivial thing. She added in her mind.
Tristan turned around and noticed Deena was wearing a frown so he went back to her with the phone on his ears.
What’s going on? Deena gasped in her head staring at Tristan and he smiled at her, wrapping his hand around her hand.
“Layla why are you quiet? I asked you a question. I said why did you call?” Tristan asked coldly and Deena stopped staring at Tristan.
Layla? Why’s Layla still calling him? Doesn’t she know he has a girlfriend now? Why’s Tristan still taking her call? Deena questioned in her head feeling a little jealous.
“Tristan I’m summoning all the courage inside me to ask you this question” Layla said over the phone.
“What question?” Tristan asked over the phone.
“Are you in a relationship with Deena?” Layla asked breathlessly and Tristan slides his fingers into Deena’s.
“Yes, you’re just finding out? I thought you knew all along. Deena’s my girlfriend but why are you asking?” Tristan asked and Deena looked up again and smiled inwardly.
Did Tristan just tell Layla I’m his girlfriend? Oh my goodness, does this mean I’ve won against Layla this time? Let’s see how she plans on snatching my boyfriend… I won’t let that happen, never! Deena uttered in her head seriously.
“Oh I see” Layla said slowly.
“If that’s all, bye. I don’t really appreciate it when you call like this. You might create a misun-derstanding between me and my girlfriend because of this so I think you shouldn’t keep on calling whenever you wish except it’s for something important” Tristan said coldly then hung up.
“Who was that?” Deena asked curiously pretending not to know anything.
“That was Layla, you might not remember her but you were both on same team in the past” Tristan said sincerely and Deena nodded.
Of course, I vividly remember her. Why would I forget someone keeps comparing me with.. I ba-rely spend a day without hearing her name at home. Deena said in her head.
“Anyways what’s your plans for today? Do you have any physical therapy today?” Tristan asked playing with her fingers.
“Not really, why?” Deena asked.
“You’ve been in here for days now, I’m pretty sure you’re exhausted just staying in doors” Tristan said with a smile and Deena pouted.
Tristan laughed.
“Let’s go outside and get some fresh air, it’s quite stuffy in here” Tristan pointed out.
“I would love that but we should put a call across to one of the nurses so they would get me my wheelchair” Deena said and Tristan smiled.
“Why would you nee-d a wheelchair when I’m right here. Let me be your chair” He said and Deena blus-hed.
“Are you sure about that? I haven’t been watching my weight right here at the hospital so I’m guessing I’ve added some weight” Deena pointed out and Tristan nodded negatively.
“It would be a shame if I can’t carry my girlfriend. Come on let’s get going before your visitors arrives” Tristan said and came down from the bed.
“I will give you a piggy back” He said and turned around after adjusting Deena’s other leg.
“Does it still hurt very much?” Tristan asked concerned.
“Not really, all thanks to the pain relief drugs I’m better” She said then placed her hands around Tristan’s ne-ck.
Tristan stood up adjusting her properly on his back.
“Wow, I had no idea you were this tall. It feels like I’m on a different height” Deena complimented and Tristan smiled.
“I’m glad you’re just realizing it. You have no idea how tall your boyfriend is, let’s go” Tristan said playfully then left the room.
They walked along the hallway and people stared at them.
“Awwn… I wish to get a piggy back from my boyfriend as well. What a R0m-ntic boyfriend..” Some patients murmured to themselves as they admired Tristan and Deena.
Tristan used the stairs.
“You’ve gotten many admirers” Deena said with a smile.
“I don’t think so, you’ve only gotten more people been envious of you” Tristan said and they both laughed.
“It really feels different viewing the world from up here. Have you always seen this world like this? You must really see me as someone very short” Deena pouted and Tristan laughed.
“No I don’t, you’ve got the perfect height. I can’t ask for more, you’re all I nee-d and that’s enough for me” Tristan said and Deena smiled widely placing her face on Tristan’s ne-ck.
“Tristan what do you hate the most?” Deena asked out of the blue as they went out to the garden.
“Being belittled by strangers, why?” Tristan asked and they got to a bench then Tristan carefully placed Deena on the bench.
“Thank you”
“But why do you hate being belittled by strangers, they might not know who you’re and your worth” Deena said.
“Isn’t that more reasons why they shouldn’t belittle you. They don’t even know who you are and they’re looking down on you already, it doesn’t make sense” Tristan said.
“You have a point though but I can remember I was a bit rude to you when we first met, how come I didn’t get an earful?”
“I didn’t see it as a big deal because I’ve always liked you so it didn’t matter, that was probably one of the most happiest days of my life” Tristan mumbled with a smile.
“What did you say?” Deena asked curiously and Tristan smiled as he turned to her, giving her a warm hu-g.
“What would your dad think of me when he finds out we’re in a relationship?” Tristan asked calmly and Deena caressed his back.
“He might take it the wrong way but that doesn’t stop me from introducing you to him, he might overreact but that isn’t going to stop me from dating you. I’ve gone throu-ghthat already so I don’t plan on giving up on what makes me so happy” Deena said with determination and Tristan pat her back.
“I wouldn’t let you go throu-ghthat either. If he doesn’t like my job then I will have to change profession that’s suitable for him as long as he accepts me” Tristan said and Deena broke the hu-g.
“Tristan why would you even think of something like that? Why would you change your profession just because Dad doesn’t like it. You’re planning on changing a profession that makes me admire you so much. Being a reporter it’s a low ranking profession but why are you suddenly belittling yourself?” Deena asked with a frown and Tristan gave an awkward smile, just then Devon and Ryan walked to where they were at the garden.
“Deena! Devon I told you, she was here” Ryan said with a smile.
“Oh! What are you two doing here?” Deena asked curiously.
“What else? Of course we’re here to see how you’re doing” Devon said with a smile as he sat next to Deena on the bench.
Why’s he sitting there? He looks familiar.. He must be a racer as well. Tristan uttered in his head feeling so uncomfortable that Devon is sitting next to Deena.
“You guys should say hello to Tristan my boyfriend” Deena said with a smile and Tristan placed his hand around Deena’s shoulders as he slowly brou-ght her closer to him.
“You’re Tristan?” Devon asked with a blank expression.
“Yes, I’m Tristan Cho and you are? I’m pretty sure I haven’t met you before but I have seen Ryan” Tristan said professionally.
He’s quite goodlooking. I was hoping to see some ugly as-s dude but why did Deena beat me to this. Why didn’t she give me full description of Tristan? Wait a minute, he looks very familiar. Devon uttered in his head.
“The more I think of it, you look very familiar” Devon said struggling to recall.
“It’s possible, I’m a reporter so I get that a lot” Tristan said with a half smile.
“Aside that… I think I recall now. You went to Qingzhue High school?” Devon asked curiously.
“I did but how did you know about that?” Tristan asked slowly.
FLASHBACK***
Ten years ago in Qingzhue High school when Devon and Tristan had a fight.
“Why are you always sneaking around when we’re practicing? You can see clearly, outsiders aren’t allowed here” Devon said seriously as he pushed Tristan and Tristan held back because he noticed Deena was watching from far away.
“You have a crush on Deena? How dare you have a crush on Deena? You better get that silly thoughts off your empty skull” Devon threatened and pushed Tristan but Tristan pushed him as well.
“Who the hell do you think you are as well to tell me to stop crushing on her” Tristan said angrily and they both started fighting. *** FLASHBACK ENDS.
I suddenly feel so angry. Tristan uttered in his head glaring at Devon.
