“Thank you for lending a listening ear,” I said as I forced out every ounce of anger in me, “Don’t even think something like this will happen again.”
I left and closed the door behind me.
I touched my lips.
My heart had not stopped racing and I was still breathing hard.
I could still feel his lips on mine...how good he made me feel.
It was strange…why was I getting worked up?!
“Are you okay?” Catherine asked.
I stared at her blankly.
“You seem red, fever?” she asked.
“What? Red? Me?” I asked as I touched my face.
Adam opened the door and stepped out. He wore a grin like he had accomplished something.
We exchanged glances, and the grin reduced to a simple smile.
What’s with that look?
Are you satisfied that you’ve gotten a new plaything?
I was pissed and embarrassed at the same time. Of all the people to see me in a weakened state, it had to be a player like him.
And what’s worse was the fact that I had let him kiss me.
That’s not all; he wore a grin like nothing had happened.
It was a mistake…a big foolish mistake.
“Doctor, I…” he started to say as he stretched his hand towards me.
A flash memory of his hand on my cheek and ears was enough to rattle me and made me take a step backwards.
The smile disappeared and his expression changed to concern or sympathy.
He wasn’t fooling me.
“Did something happen?” Catherine asked.
“No… I…” I exchanged glances from her to Adam.
Adam raised a brow in question.
So that was his angle, to play dumb.
“It’s nothing, excuse me,” I said as I walked past her.
I retreated to the restroom and started washing my face... an attempt I hoped would help wash away theses strange feelings and make them disappear.
But they didn’t… they refused to.
“What have you done to me?” I asked in a mix of confusion and anger.
