Love came last

Kind gestures

I checked the time "it's 10am already,take the day off and rest I'll pick you up tomorrow if it's okay with you" we've spend more than 2 hours sitting on the floor, after Lily finished crying she didn't move and so did i "thank you" she said entangling herself from me.

It has been a week now I always pick up Lily from her house to work and take her back and we've gotten along just fine and she's getting better from her broken stage.
"Stop stop" Lily shouted almost scaring me I quickly press the breaks of my car "reverse a little" i did just I didn't notice there was a coffee and ice cream shop there "I'm going to get ice cream" she said mouthing a sorry "no you're not taking ice cream in this cold" i said before I knew she was out of the car she bent over "you are too bossy" she said and walk into the shop, after some minutes she was back with a a coffee and ice cream, I really didn't want her to take the ice cream but I didn't want to show her, the last thing I want is for her to feel i pity her, I stop at her house then she handed me the coffee "thank you for driving me home, I think it ends today because I'm perfectly fit and I can drive myself" she said and kiss me on the cheek before living the car, I watched as she walked down to her door, I didn't want all this to be over i can drive her forever, I drove off after she locked the door.

Lily's P o v
After i was dropped off by Sam, i sat on my chair and vent all my frustrations on my ice cream, after I finished I changed to my warm pjs even though it's just seven in the evening, I crawled to my thick blanket, I unlocked my phone and dialed Ell, I can't get through, this is the fourth time this week that I'm trying his number, I think he changed his number, I switch off the light and sleep took over.

Is a weekend today I don't have any work today, so it's a rest day but I don't want to rest, I want to keep my self busy, I think i will just go catch a movie.
After taking my breakfast and doing dishes I took a hot bath and dress in a denim and button down shirt, i was about to leave my house when my phone rang, MR Sam appeared on my screen
"Hello Sir" i said "Lily how are you doing" he said on the other line "I'm doing fine, why did you call"
"Please drop by the house something came up" the house??before I could reply he hanged up, he always spoils my plans

I parked my car at his parking lot and knock at the front door
"Hea, you're here already" i wanted to roll my eyes at him "i was about to go out when you called" I state
It still amuse me that he doesn't have maids that stay in the house
"Where's the maid" i said following him to the kitchen
"She's a little bit sick today so she's on leave"
I'm very sure he made her sick
"Is there anything urgent"
why did you call"  I asked
"Just want to hangout with you"
he says so lamely
That's why he called? What a crazy person, I have many things to do than sit here,
but we all know I don't.
" ohh okay i was about going to the movies" I said
"Good is better you didn't go"
is he kidding me, he should be apologizing
He passed me the coffee he made, I took a sip and the coffee is amazing
"ummm it's amazing"
He chuckles and took a sit next to me
"How are you" he held my hand and squeeze it, I smiled at the warm gesture, something was telling me i can pour out what ever I'm going through
"He still doesn't pick my calls, is not like I want anything from him, I want a chance to apologize, I hurt him deeply and he did nothing but love me" i said pushing back the tears, but they refuse to go away.
I hate that I'm so emotional especially in front of him
He stood up from his sit and engulfed me in a hug "it's okay" he stroke my hair "you have to move on L , let me help you" he said softly taking my left hand and slowly removing the engagement ring, i glare at him with my red eyes " it's okay" he says again

"Im sorry" I said after the little scenario
" it's fine dear, I'm glad you let it out" he said
I drank the remaining coffee and went to his bathroom, I'm sure my face looks a mess, I washed my face and fix my hair, i saw Sam sitting on the floor and fiddling with the remote control "what are doing" i asked going down the stairs
"You were about to watch a movie right? let's watch one here" he said, I chuckle and sit next to him "I ordered pizza" he said

The movie started playing, and I figured is an action movie, how boring. After 30 minutes the door was knocked, I quickly got up to answer it, I know is the pizza

I didn't realize I slept before the boring movie ends until Sam waked me up and I felt embarrassed, I mouthed a sorry and looked at my watch, it's seven already "I should get going" i said
"Stay for the night" he plead
"Do you want Maya to have my neck" I said jokingly "I know you two have something going on" I added
"No we have nothing going on" he sternly replied
I didn't push it so i just said okay
"Are you staying" he asked again, I really didn't know what to answer
" yes but I can't sleep in this" i point to my clothes then we all laugh I have a déjà vu about this.

Sam led me to his room and game me a baggy shirt "I hope this will help" I laugh and put the T shirt over my body "is twice my size" I went and put it on and i was engulfed by his scent
I remembered when i use to wear Ell's shirt, how he will kiss me and tell me I look beautiful in his shirt, up until now I still wear the shirt he left at my place and when ever i do that i feel as if we are together.

"I have to get over Ell, is not the end of the world, I guess I'm holding long because he's my first love and my first heartbreak, you said you will help me, I don't know how but I'm ready" i said Sam who was making the bed, he quickly turned and look at me, without saying a word he moved closer and i was tensed from the way he was looking at me, he wrapped his arms around me and gave me a tight hug, the hug caught me by surprise I think twice before wrapping my arms around him even tighter, it lasted for some minutes before we broke "you look beautiful" he said in a heavy breath "thank you" i said slyly
"I will help you, I can't bear to see you like this, is not your fault that you are a sickle cell patient, and is nothing to be ashamed of" he touched my cheeks and I felt so at ease.
"My Genotype type is the reason i've never been in a relationship, i was insecure because people are so judgemental and think sickle cell is a terrible disease" I poured
"Don't worry about it , you don't even look sick you are one of the strong women I know, and I'm here for you now i will stand by you like a pillar" he patted my back
