I'm Still Here: Sequel For 'Step Daddy No'

Chapter 13

"She's waking up".

I softly groaned trying to open my weak eyes.

"Thank god". Huh?

I managed to open them, but squint when the light burnt them.

"Honey". I heard mom said.

"I should've let her stayed with us Leon".

"Are you implying that I'm at fault?" I'm sure that that's Michael.

"Michael Isaac Perry. Shut your mouth. Don't you see that she's awake". I'm guessing that's Eva.

I've just realized that someone is stroking my hair. I can tell that its Michael. Just the feeling of his comforting tender touch tell.

"Akeilia honey". Uhhh. . .Amelia.

"Hmmm". I replied.

"Responding to ones name is a good sign. She'll be fine". Eva said. Everyone made a sigh of relief. I forgot to mention that she's a medical doctor.

Monique is standing beside Leon down where my feet are, looking at me with smiles, yet a tip worried. Mostly Leon though. He already experienced this. Worst than this.

Amelia is standing right at my bedside. So Michael is indeed stroking my hair, sitting above me.

It seems as if Eva was the one who attended to me. I must be really important to her because I can remember Michael telling her to take the helicopter, which means she wasn't close by.

"Something doesn't seem right about her though. Its just a feeling. I'll have to keep her here to examine her".

"What about. . . .my company? Who's gonna make sure everything's going how its suppose to?" I croaked out. I don't care if my manager is trustworthy. I always check my finances and everything else.

"I. . .can do that?" He'll wreck my company no way. First of all he hate Lenoy guts and enemies cannot work together.

"Michael. . . .your only gonna make pro-"

"Don't. . . .worry about anything. Everything will be fine". He cut me off, then he continued to stroke my hair again.

I felt heat rush through my chest after I just remembered the kiss. . . .oh god. I told him that I loved him. Why did I do that? I'm still alive and now he's gonna feel as if he has power over me. He didn't even tell me back. . . .But I remembered he said that those words won't be the last I'll hear from him, so maybe he feels the same? Why didn't he just give me a damn straight answer!

I look at everyone's faces that were full of confusion. Except for Monique and Leon.

"Is something wrong?" Eva asked and Amelia eyed Michael with the *what's going on* look.

Amelia got Married two years ago to a guy named Terry, who's also a Medical doctor. She gave birth to a cute baby boy who's now ten months old. His name is Joshua. She took one year leave from work. I'm sure everyone misses her already. She's really nice.

"We've. . . .only had some miss understanding, but its fine?" Michael said. Knowing this woman, she won't let it go.

"Akeilia?" She softly said but raised an eyebrow. See what I mean? Michael inherited her beautiful brown eyes.

"What problem has he caused?" Oh god. I swallowed the lump in my throat. 

"Um. . .just-".

"Mother its nothing really don't stress her out".

"Young man I'm the one who attended to her. I know her condition and she's very much able to answer me without dying from stress". She pointed. Honestly, its kinda cute that he's being scolded by his mother. Its obvious that no one knows that we've been living like cat and dog, apart from Monique and Leon. Of course Eva knows that he's a man whore. Something I believe she strongly opposed to.
