Pounding Beat of the heart

~prestige is not important when it comes to someone you like. . I know life is a game but life is not a competition. We walk our own path and our very own freedom's will.

 

Luxury has defined the room

Clean floor

to expensive taste of life

with all those

extravagance

seems not important anymore

it’s like my world had gone black

and my soul is yearning’s the light

of this mysterious lady

I watched the staff hurried as I come rushing in with an unconscious body. As soon as they see who it was, they wonder directly to what had happened to one of their staff. I let them call a resident doctor and head towards my room. As I arrived in my room, I lay her down first in the sofa. Then a staff came in to inform me that the doctor is coming within an hour. And that’s the fastest they can only do for this is quite a far island from the proper city. I was worried because as I finished checking her temperature it was above 90 degrees. She’s burning up and I don’t know what to do. She was delirious saying something and I said:

 

Spine: “What is it? You need something? you need water?”

*She just moan and said:

 

Cassandra: “Please God help me, give me a sign. This annoying Guy keeps bugging my thoughts.”

 

*I was surprise. Who is this guy? Is it me or someone else?

Cassandra: “Another job has end…the next semester is coming and I’m short of money…. Money you’re the very hardest to save…”

 

*oh, she’s having money problems…. But why did she refuse my offer… god how mysterious you are Cassandra… now I’m quite drawn to your world…

 

I touched her burning face… it was flush as red cherry… I dialed my nanny… and asked her what to do to a fever this high… She said a sponge bath or dip her into the bath-tub for a quick relief of the patient.. with that I said thanks and hung up… Nana can be talkative when it comes to my new someone.. She’s been there all the time even in the tough times when our parents died in an accident… she didn’t leave us… she is family and she treat us as her own sons… she didn’t even marry until now… sometimes my brother blames himself for that… even me can even think it’s also my fault.

 

 

 

               

 

 

Hot temperature

Warm bodies

Touched in intimate hold

Drumming Pounding Beat of the heart

Carrying the far distance going near

Closing in into a tight knot

Oh, beholder of my heart

don’t go away

please stay

_____________________________________________________________________________

I wish you would stay by my side. I gently scoop her and held her near my chest as my heart is pounding its drum because of the nearness we have shared. I slowly lay her in the tub and I started to run the cold rush of water building up to engulf her with it. I didn’t even bother getting her cloth off. Thinking of her without cloths rush me into a hot temperature as well. Oh no why am I thinking such indecency. I must control myself. Smiling at that thought. After an hour of waiting, watching and washing her, someone knocks on the door.

 

After checking the symptoms the doctor concluded. It’s was just over-fatigue and exhaustion because of hunger. The doctor said that her body has been through a lot of stress and this is just her defense mechanism. She will be ok after days of rest (2 days at least)…

 

I let the staff change her cloths because I can’t do it on my own. And to think she might get mad if I do that.

 

As she lay sleeping soundly after all that commotion… I begin to drift to sleep in the couch near the bed. Few hours later I heard some noise. I startled and wake up then found Cassandra sneaking out.

 

Spine: “Hey wait! You’re not fully healed yet.”

*frown was written in her face and said:

Cassandra: “I’m fine and thanks for the help. And oh, I want to ask you. Who changed my cloths and where is it now?”

Spine: “It’s in the laundry. I let housekeeping clean it. And I let the staff dressed you. She was one of your friend here, she said.”

Cassandra: “I see. Okay, I better go now. Thanks for the help. I’ll return the favor soon.”

*She’s running away again…

Spine: “Why not return the favor now and stay with me for a couple of days while you rest.”

Cassandra: “That’s too much. I can’t stay here I have a day job.”

Spine: “Really? I heard you just lost your job this morning.”

*A shock face was written all over her expression… now she must have think I’m a stalker…

Cassandra: “Who told you that? Nobody knows that, unless you stalk me.”

~I was right after all… she would think of that….

Spine: “No one told me. You shared it with me. At least not intentionally…”

Cassandra: “What are you talking about. We didn’t spoke much this morning. Well a little.”

Spine: “Yes we didn’t talk much this morning. But you where delirious because of your high fever. And you’ve blurred out that you just had lost your job…”

Cassandra: *sigh “oh, I just remembered I’m late on my night job. Which is here in this hotel. How convenient.”

Spine: “I already told the staff you’ll be resting for tonight.”

Cassandra: “You can’t do that. You have no right.”

*I got much closer to her…. And took her hand… she was a bid hesitant about it…but I’m a pushy guy.

Spine: “Rest for tonight and have dinner with me.”

*her checks went flush for a second then back to normal… hmm …then she hides her hands away and turn her back on me..

Cassandra: “Your pushing your luck too much mr. Spine.”

Spine: “Well if I have my luck today. Why not indulge and enjoy the moments. Please have dinner with me. Promise I will not say or do anything foolish that will offend you.”

Cassandra: “okay, but why are you so eager to know me? I’m not special or anything. I’m not rich nor gorgeous enough for your taste. How come an ordinary girl like me will be like for someone of your prestige.”

Spine: “Cassie. Hope you don’t mind calling you that.”

*she Nod

Spine: “My Nana told me that prestige is not important when it comes to someone you like. We are born in equal. It’s just that money has defined the world today were people becomes fake and unreal to their own-selves. I’m surrounded by controlling, stressful and competition filled environment. I know life is a game but life is not a competition. We walk our own path and our very own freedom's will. In the society I walk in, freedom is controlled. You have list of things to do… that I forgot life doesn’t revolves in a list commanded by someone… it’s about freedom to write your own list, be the person you want to be. I guess you could say I didn’t follow my own list. But I’m happy that I please the people around me. Now, i will free myself with that. I create my own list and the top list is you. To know you better. To be around you seems so fulfilling. I hope you have felt that too but if not I will try to prove that I’m a better person now than before.”

*she face me and smile

Cassandra: “Your quite special on your words mr. Spine. The ocean’s waves is as strong as the people around us. It’s just a matter on how we stand tall in our choices. I'll give you a second chance. Tonight we'll have dinner but I don’t have anything proper to wear other than this lose t-shirt and faded pants.”

Spine: “You don’t need to be extravagant. Your presence is what’s more important. I don’t care on how you dress as long as it’s you then I’m satisfied with that.”

Author's Note

i like what Spine said: In the society I walk in, freedom is controlled. You have list of things to do… that I forgot life doesn’t revolves in a list commanded by someone… it’s about freedom to write your own list, be the person you want to be.

I like that you like what your character has said, as if he became and had thoughts of his own. I think that is why your characters are so believable, I think they do come alive in your head and have thoughts of their own when you are writing, It's wonderful. only one thing I saw " I gently scope her and held her" I think you meant "scoop", I am enjoying the Cinderella theme, I can't wait until dinner :) or maybe a flash peek at Bones now? :) :)

[Pax]

ops.... now fix... oh... i didn't notice the Cinderella theme... now i see... i guess i really need to shake things abit... thank you much my friend...oh a flash peek... how did you know i already prepared Bone's scene...hmm... lol...
