Still smiling, Nek let's me go; he gets off the bed, walking towards the table, "we should probably order breakfast" i glance at him, awkwardly waiting for his approval.The room is silent; I awkwardly walk over to the telephone as Nek picks his phone from the table. Food would probably dissolve this awkward situation, “what do you want for breakfast?” I askI read out the menu to him, he makes a decision before I’m even done reading out the menu. That could never be me, I’m so indecisive that I need more time to think about my breakfast. After taking some time to decide on what I want, I finally settle on cheese bread and peppered chicken; I call up the room service and place our order.In 25 minutes time our food arrives, the food is exquisitely set out; making me understand why this is one of the top hotels in Yula. “Nek the food is here” I call out; he had decided to take a bath, while waiting for the food to arrive.“Be out in a minute”I dive in not bothering to wait for Nek; I’

Reluctantly I approach the office entrance; as I walk with my head down hoping no one would notice me; but inwardly I know better, office gossip spreads like wildfire.There’s a lot of whispering as I approach the entrance, even the doorman is involved in it, keeping my head down; I walk quickly towards the nearest elevator, praying no one would come in. I guess this is my life now at the office.The elevator is about to close, and thankfully I am the only one inside; but that doesn't last long when someone rushes towards it, causing it to open again. I guess it’s just not my day; I’m inwardly hoping the person is someone who doesn’t know about Nek and I.I glance up; but I’m only met by the persons back profile, I don’t mind this, hoping the person doesn't bother turning to face me or speak to me. I spoke too late, the person turns to face me; and it’s Amelia.Of all people to have met in the elevator at this time; it just had to be Amelia, I act like I don’t notice her. I grab my ph

“Taina” someone calls out; Nek also looks up to to see who is calling me, I turn around to identify the person. “I’m absolutely dead” I squeak as I face the person who was calling me.I am face to face with my mother; her faces changes from the look of surprise to confused then to that of hurt and finally it ends with a furious look. She looks absolutely furious with me; her eyes blazing with anger, as she stands rooted to the ground.I’m in too much shock to move or to even say anything, Nek looks confused by the entire situation, but he decides to stay in the background. Good move made on his part; anything said by him could have escalated the matter quickly.The shock finally wears off; I move towards my mother slowly with my hands raised up, this scene looks like a police and thief scene. “Mom” I say as I continue to slowly approach her; Nek looks suprised but he composes himself and makes a move to come towards her. I shake my head at him; telling him to stay exactly where he is,

All through the night my I keep dreaming about this evening encounter with my mom; but this time it happens in different ways and scenes. I guess I’m just really stressed about the entire situation at hand; I know she said she has forgiven me and don’t get me wrong I know she has. But I could see she was really disappointed; I let her down and that’s the worst feeling in the world.At least she knows now; but my father and siblings, what would they think. I was definitely not a good role model to my siblings; I literally made a statement, that it’s alright to lie to your parents and elope with your boyfriend, though Nek wasn't my boyfriend, but it’s like the same thing.I feel really dizzy and my mind is cloudy; I try to get up but my body is really weak, it feels like I’m coming down with something. But I can’t be sick; I’ve got work, it must have been my lack of sleep that caused this overnight sickness. I attempt to stand up again; as my legs hit the ground in an attempt to stand,

“Taina” Nek screams, pulling me out of my slumber; he has a terrified look on his face, he’s on his knees beside the bathtub and it looks like he’s been here for a while. My eyes flash open; Nek still nudging me and he still has that worried look on his face despite the fact that I’m awake. “Did you lose consciousness again?” he asks anxiously waiting for my response I remain silent, not purposely but because it takes me some time to collect myself before my brain realizes what is going on; I usually get confused when I’m woken up in a frenzy.I finally realize what’s going on; I’m in the bathtub and I’m completely naked, I’m grateful for the bubbles cause it covers my body and it makes me feel a little bit at ease. “I just slept off; no need to call the doctor” I finally reply, as I notice him trying to dial a number.He doesn’t completely believe me but puts his phone away, “how could you have slept off in the bathtub, I thought something really bad had happened to you. You really
